The amount of time to arrange for payment is unrelated, but it is fair that there be a time limit, just like there is with cashing a cheque.

I see you have a ccbill program in your sig, which means that affiliates are approved instantly. But have you ever went through and checked out the people signing up, clicking on the site they list and try to see what they have and who they are? Ever tried to contact them directly for more info, like what site they may be sending traffic from?
I do (if I don't know them already). And while I don't have an accurate number, I can say that in my experience MANY of them list a BS site or something that has nothing to do with anything or where they may send traffic from. So I send them a friendly email asking what site(s)s they may be sending traffic from. Maybe 10% even bother reply. Some mails even bounce. What am I to think about all the others?
So when I see things like this, I don't question for a second why some programs take longer than others to approve affiliates. I understand people who to sign up and promote a sign right now, but a responsible program has to do their due diligence these days or run the risk of have fraudulent accounts.
Affiliates want it now, I understand that, but you should also want the program to be doing its best to make sure it will continue to be there and be able to pay you.
