What is a member account?
You will need to

A member account on Salam Advisor is for personal, non-commercial use of the website, and should not be used to promote a business, website, etc.
Business owners interested in using Salam Advisor should
read about business accounts first. However, we do permit business owners to have personal member accounts, but they cannot be used to promote their own business, nor should they be reviewing other businesses they engage with as part of their own.
Why am I not receiving emails from Salam Advisor?
Troubleshooting suggestions if emails from Salam Advisor are not reaching your inbox:
- Search all folders (including Spam and Trash) for emails from contact@salamadvisor.com. If you’re using a Gmail address, check your Priority Inbox settings and Inbox tabs.
