And CC Bill is part of our cascade and probably a part of most folks cascade in NATS after their own merchant account.
And of course in our merchant account we have fraud protection settings as well.

Robbie yes ccb doesnt have an issue sending out TONS of those checks but please consider their scale vs a small to medium size program. We have limited aff manager resources so every request to get get paid either before pay dates or before minimum is a real drain on our available staff and it is usually over small dollar amount when the staff could be doing something productive.
i simply made the call to instruct my program manger after dealing with a lot of BS related to making early payment to just stick with our rule for minimum payouts across the board rather than considering each on individual basis which takes his time and my time as he defers to me.
its not a question of our paying we have always paid and work hard daily to continue to do so with no issues.
****minimums are in place for a couple reasons ****
1. to prevent real scammers from making a few fraud sales and getting paid
2. to delay payment so that chargebacks have time to settle and not get paid out
3. to prevent MEMBERS from playing the system and joining under their own affiliate code and getting %50+ of the membership back right away (im assuming few of you have even considered this possibility)
4. i believe nats does require a minimum at least all nats progs ive seen do have it
5. to not spend time on sending lots of little checks
6. it could actually also be an incentive for smaller affiliates to send a couple more sales to meet the minimum!
again this is no a scam, not by any stretch of the imagination and our paying has never really been called to question , even in this case i dont believe that has been the issue at hand.
there are real scammers our there like MR , and we stay very clear of that BS.
we do not scam and i resent the OP for calling us that and smearing our name/brand.
