C'mon man.

Minimum payouts really affect review sites especially, and are used as a weapon by sponsors against their affiliates. Ever wonder why some companies have 4, 5, 15 different programs? Minimum payouts.

If I promote three programs that have $200 minimums, that's $600 I'm potentially tying up in a bank account that can't be accessed, withdrawn from, transferred from, etc. I can see the money, I just can't have it. And it may NEVER get paid out to me.

I still somehow manage to get checks every single day, and minimum payouts seriously affect me.
