Actually about half of the cost of sending checks lol
Checks are ancient, hell Last time i gave a check to my banker in Denmark was 6 years ago and he had not seen one in years.
Its only used large scale in North America, for now, lets hope that changes
I doubt people do not make the $50 payout limit, even if they dident it would be an ASS of a program to not pay it out should the affiliate really need it....for what ever reason

Ok sorry don't want to come across as being rude but your statement about affiliates not making the min and companies not sending it out anyway etc. etc.. shows me you have no clue about this stuff. There is a LOT of money affiliate programs sit on because min amounts are not paid. a lot. If everyone of those accounts that didn't meet the min wanted to "cash out" at the same time it would cripple more than a few companies.
There are 0 affiliates that would EXPECT for a company to cover the cost of the wire.
What does it matter if checks are ancient or not, it is still the cheapest and most common way to send payments. A lot of affiliates and programs are located in the US btw. How much does it cost to send a check from where ever you are, you said 2x the amount to send a wire ? It cost you $70 to send a check ?
ok.... lol. if you say so.
For people sending checks internationally if that gets expensive for them, then offer free epass, something. There should always be a way to get paid without the affiliate having to pay to get paid. period. i don't care what the method is. having to pay money to get money, the whole concept is stupid, and really makes the company doing it look bad.
