    are there people still choosing check over epass payment

    Its about affiliate program payment options.
    If the program is paying via both, checks and epass, is there a reason for you to choose the check?
    What is it?
    68
    check
    0%
    33
    epass
    0%
    35

      I've never signed up with epass. Tried to multiple times and kept getting errors. I don't mind getting checks so it isn't a problem for me.

          ok then if the program DOESNT offer checks as an option, would this make you to not use it?

              I actually let a couple of my sponsors keep sending checks. I guess it's because of the Epassporte daily limits. I did get the ATM withdrawel raised up to $600, but sometimes that's still not high enough, so it's nice to have some checks come in to just deposit them rather than having to run to the ATM every day to pull out $600 or transfer over $600 daily to my account.

                  no, but then they should offer to create epass accounts for their affiliates.
                  when the sites of the program are what I'm looking for, there's not much that will stop me from using them.

                      Oh god yes, checks. There is no risk with checks. There is no fee at all for me to use checks. The only drawback of using checks (if you can call it that) is that I have to endorse them and fill out a deposit slip and go to the bank within a month or two or three.

                      If a program didnt offer checks, I would not join them unless they offered Direct Deposit, or free Wires with no large minimum due.

                          NEVER put all your eggs in one basket..

                          Banks are fdic insured. epassporte is not. if they vanish like ibill they vanish with all your cash , you have 0 rights.

                          Besides that they have limits , my checks never have limits , i just say "cash it "

                              epass much of the time
                              check once in awhile
                              my bank puts a 6 weeks hold on all US checks
                              they told me it is cause to many people at the branch have been burned with US checks they got from the internet.
                              I told them those were stupid greedy people who shouldn't have used ebay to sell their goods in the first place, when the local flea markets are good enough to make some cash..

                                  We offer both payment methods. Most of our webmasters still use check, although epass does continue to gain in popularity.

                                      ask to speak to your bank manager.

                                      Tell him "look i understand you have certain rules , but you and me both know you can verify and collect on american checks instantly there is zero risk , your teller just has to walk over there punch in the numbers and voila., i have spoken with "competition bank" and they said they will have no problems cashing my american checks instantly, this isn't a threat its just common sense, you wouldn't wait a month for your paycheck would you ? I have no choice but to switch banks unless you can cash my checks in a more effecient matter.

                                      Banks only lose out because they save money by pooling american checks together to cash at the end of the week and thus some of them will not be valid by then.

                                              100% agree with this post. Checks are easy, checks are free, check stubs make my accountant smile. I see no reason to join a program that doesn't offer them.

                                                  I'd say I use ePass for about half of my programs. I still get checks from many though.

                                                              Love epass. Was so tired of bringing 8 or 9 checks into the bank, some of them with curious sounding company names. Ive had 2 tellers read the company name and ask me what the company did, really embarassing.

                                                                      Also my bank is great with USD Cheques (I'm a Brit). I actually have to only wait 2 working days for the money to clear. I takes the bank a few weeks but they give me the money after a few days. I guess they would just take it back out of my account if the cheque bounced, probarly with a hefty fee too.

The only drawback of using checks (if you can call it that) is that I have to endorse them and fill out a deposit slip and go to the bank within a month or two or three.

                                                                                  If a program didnt offer checks, I would not join them unless they offered Direct Deposit, or free Wires with no large minimum due.

                                                                                              Banks are fdic insured. epassporte is not. if they vanish like ibill they vanish with all your cash , you have 0 rights.

                                                                                              Besides that they have limits , my checks never have limits , i just say "cash it "
                                                                                              as for losing money just clean out the epass acc. out regularly

                                                                                              and what i prefer is definately epass over checks.
                                                                                              To receive a payment with epass is instantly, checks take 4 to 30 days before they even arrive. And when we look at the costs for $100:

                                                                                              epass: $100 - $2 (ATM fee) = $98 / 1.36 = ?72.
                                                                                              check: $100 / 1.36 = ?73.50 - ?12.50 (cashing fee) = ?61.

                                                                                              i wish cashing checks was free like in the US.... that fee of ?12.50 is per check..

Was so tired of bringing 8 or 9 checks into the bank, some of them with curious sounding company names. Ive had 2 tellers read the company name and ask me what the company did, really embarassing.
                                                                                                                          That's when you answer, plainly, "They send me checks for you to deposit in my account."

                                                                                                                          So long as you're not making 10k deposits, I may be wrong in Bush's America, but I believe it's none of their business where the money comes from.

They asked how they could send my money via epassport. I never used it and steered clear of sponsors that didn't use checks. Because I had money pending, I had to sign up. What a pain in the ass. Have to transfer money in to start the account. All sorts of tiny little fees. Had to call my bank. All in all, a big pain in the ass.

                                                                                                                                      But I live in the US. I love picking up my checks at the postoffice. I only go once a week so it is a surprise as to what I get.

                                                                                                                                      And my accountant also loves the check stubs (as mentioned above). It makes doing my taxes easier.

There is no fee at all for me to use checks. The only drawback of using checks (if you can call it that) is that I have to endorse them and fill out a deposit slip and go to the bank within a month or two or three.

                                                                                                                                                  If a program didnt offer checks, I would not join them unless they offered Direct Deposit, or free Wires with no large minimum due.

Never again... with all the uncertainty about ePass and the gambling issue, I don't see how any intelligent business wouldn't have cheques.

I pick it as a pay to for a few programs just to facilitate paying other people who like it, but most of the time I select check or wire.

The stories I hear again and again, thats enough for me to avoid them like a hooker with a needle stuck in her arm.

                                                                                                                                                          By doing checks I'm usually about 4 weeks delayed on the money I really have, but it really isn't a big deal. I'd rather be late on money than risk the possibility of not getting it at all. I see my nice stack of checks sitting on my desk... whereas epass, who knows where they'll be tomorrow.

Was so tired of bringing 8 or 9 checks into the bank, some of them with curious sounding company names. Ive had 2 tellers read the company name and ask me what the company did, really embarassing.

So damn rediculous they still use checks... in europe everything is electronic generally with no costs at all.

                                                                                                                                                                              Absolutely true for me, already cancelled the signup process for several sponsors after seeing it's epass only. Wires only, no problem, but I don't trust services like epass. Call me old fashioned.

                                                                                                                                                                              Another reason: A sponsor not offering check payments and/or wires looks fishy to me, especially if the domain(s) are registered on a company or person in a country with a questionable legal system or using domain privacy. Who can assure me that a program like this has 2257 documented legal content ? Should I rely on an contact email, icq and a link claiming all content is 2257 compilant and legal ?
