Custom designs, trailers, longer clips, encodes, the list goes on
As for the check price see my other post!
Company 1
Will asks for an address change, check is delayed 1-3 weeks or drama occurs
Company 2
No delay, email answered in 10 minutes
Ohh and i likewise know that you are not knocking anyone here will 
But trust me 99% of the people on GFY simply do not know what programs have to deal with to keep everyone happy, and at the same time be successful so that they can stay in business, keep paying etc etc
Look at the Epass thread today or yesterday with a $1 increase for ATM use, i mean WTF? 
About the pattern again not aimed at you 
The pattern is that programs are squeezed so tight and yet have to give more and more, etc bla bla lol |
Ok all of that aside, what other affiliates bitch about. I do know what it takes to run / own a program, deal with affiliates etc... I still don't get the $2, $5, $10 charge to send someone a check. You still going to get pain in the ass affiliates, you still going to get people who bitch whether you charge to send them a check or not. Affiliates don't change their address often.
Bottom line is that it is another way for them to nickel and dime affiliates. If they send out 100 checks a week and they charge $3 a check, its a way for them to make $300 a week to help cover their bills, put more money in their pockets, whatever.
Charging someone to send them a check is screwing them. Think about it, really it is insaine to charge someone to pay them. When you have to pay your programmer, staff, people you buy content from, your hosting company, etc. etc... all those other people that a company has to send payments to, do they charge them as well?
