Hello all

I used to be very active as an affiliate webmaster. Did fairly well for awhile, and then the bottom dropped out and no matter how many hours I spent or what I attempted to do, would make any real money. But that's all another story for some other thread.

The question is: most affiliates have a minimum amount you must make before they'll send you the money you've earned. I have a few affiliates who just would not convert for the life of me, OR when I got rid of all my domains, I didn't quite meet their minimum, and there is some of my money sitting there with them still.

If I email them asking to cash out and cancel my account with them, and have them send me the money that I HAVE earned up to that point. Should they pay me? Or should they just be allowed to keep the business I sent to them with my own sweat, time, and money?

Forget about sticking to hardcore TOS for a minute and think considerately and ethically, rather than simply screwing people out of their money.

I have seen one unnamed company on here, posting a thread how they're "thrilled to be giving away a Ferrari!", yet when I want to simply cash out with the money I've earned (~$14), all of my emails go ignored.
