Why dont all affiliate programs put there names on their checks that they send? - GoFuckYourself.com

jgabra62 · 01-04-2007, 01:03 PM

I've been recieving all these checks from several affiliates and a lot of them dont have the name of what program they are from. So, I dont even know who is paying me a lot of the time. Is there a reason they are doing that?

BigCashCrew · 01-04-2007, 01:05 PM

several different reasons. it all depends on how the company is set up.

MattO · 01-04-2007, 01:07 PM

Because some of us bank at BoA.

thank god they dont.

Because checks with "chicks that take the chowder" is not proper on checks deposited in most banks.

Also your accounts receivable stats should make it pretty easy to match numbers.

+ discretion for you.
you dont want to walk to the bank and have "12INCHBLACKDICKS INC"
on your check

I never understood this - ok if I went to the teller with a check for $50 with FatHairyMistresses on it, but
1) who has affiliate cheques sent out for $50
2) who deposits checks to the teller directly
3) what has BoA got to do with anything?

Our checks are "4RealMedia" which is our legal busines name. However it should be close enough to our cash program which is "4RealCash" or our main sites 4RealSwinger.com, 4RealAmateurs.net etc... As said above it's nicer to cash a check with 4RealMedia on it than some of our site names...

BlackCrayon · 01-04-2007, 01:44 PM

the name shouldn't be on the actual check but i don't see why all don't send stubs with the checks with the name, amount, and period paid.

sorry to pull off-topic here, but can I ask you why you went the '****cash' bandwagon route for webmasters? First it was dollars, then cash - surely 'wealth' is more apt? 4realwealth.com is far far more catching and true

1) most of the industry is smaller affiliates who have their minimum payouts set to $50.
2) Can't remember the last time I went into the bank myself.
3) BOA has some issues with dealing with adult checks - they tend not to like the name "12inch dicks" being on checks. While it's fine and dandy for us in the adult industry, I would imagine it's a hugh liability from a HR perspective. Imagine one clerk goes to another and starts talking about a check from "12 inch dicks" and bam - someone over hearing the conversation has a lawsuit on their hands.

fair point on 1). Actually when I reread it, point 2) was more poignant, since wtf do I care if 12 inch dicks is printed on a $50 check if I am not even there.

But hell, I laughed then racked my brain, but could figure out how this could happen:

Who would be suing who? Must be an American thing...

In the US you can get sued for anything, for sure.

I do number 2 all the time. It has to do with liability reasons actually with a settlement I entered into with the bank. Obtaining a signature from the teller shifts the liability from the client to the bank if the deposit is lost in transit (which did happen to me 4 years ago). Plus if you want the funds released asap, you need a manager to sign for the deposit (at my bank at least).

Case in point... I had a teller once ask me (because she has known me for years) what CyberHeat was. I had to simply look at her and say "it's a commision check".

This proves what someone else said about one teller showing another teller and so on....

I don't give a damn what people think about what I do, but I've been with my bank for 13 years and I would hate to get into a lengthy conversation with someone I know about "why do your checks say "Itakeitintheass.com"?

Just my 2 cents worth.
