iwantchixx, my replies below or not blasting on you, I'm just pointing out some things. Don't take my comments personally.

If they have solid sites, it's probably worth making a note to check back.
If someone really thought could actually make any real sales with a program, you either wouldn't mind waiting if you had to OR you'd deal with the owner directly. Money is worth a few days wait if you are confident in your traffic and know what kind of results you can give.

That's actually fair. Give a limited amount to get started, then if you don't check out, you don't get paid. Simple enough solution.

It should be to some degree. Because if they are hit with too much of it, guess who runs a risk of not getting paid? Hint... you.

Program owners will either listen, or not. However if I have to jump through hoops to use a particular program I will move on to the next program. Time is valuable and when I sign up for many sponsors at a time I will easily forget the one that made me wait and once I get an approval email I will be busy doing something else and most likely won't check the webmaster area.

"I will just move on to the next program"
A little hard to have companies give you what you ask for as quickly as you want it when you'll just move on the second you don't get what you want. If you think you can make money with a site then it will be important for you to check back with them, rather than just jump from program to program to program.
We are all here to make money, not sign up with the most amount of programs. I don't mind waiting for a site if I know I can make money with it. Most have good reasons why I may have to wait to be approved. Maybe people would make a lot more money if they focused on sites they can do well with instead of who can give them instant gratification before moving on to the next program.
Having said all that, it wouldn't hurt to have the owners ICQ or skype so you can talk to him directly, be it for approval or for issues that may come up later. In my experience, most of them are more than willing to help out.
