That's less than a week later. In some cases that cheque has gone out 3 days after the period ends.

Here is a quote from the Topbucks FAQ:
Payments are submitted on the 8th and the 23rd of every month

Topbucks has one to three weeks to check for fraud.
That's 7 to 21 days.
And that on new sales only.
A recurring sale that has cleared months ago should not be delayed at all.
Many programs have longer delays which are quite acceptable.

The Key point here is:
The delay to payout and the minimum payout are two separate issues.

The delay to payout might reduce fraud.
The increased minimum payout just hurts small affiliates
