Soon enough, there will be a solid alternative to getting paid by checks. I'm not talking just an alternative though, but if all goes well, a true replacement :pimp

Connor,

Even if its a mistake so what you name the name and they respond with hey its a mistake,but lets be honest for once and help each other,we all know what the so called mistakes in this business amount to and its about 50 times higher than any other industry.Lets get real.

Why the mistakes? because what sponsor is going to say we didnt have the money when we wrote a check.

Lightspeed mentioned they have never bounched a check in 9 years its not so difficult to do,its not complex.

Im sorry but I have seen many huge companies write checks for massive amounts for many years without problem,99.9 percent of probelms = money not in the bank to cover the check simple!

What you also have to understand is for example my bank cash checks instantly from the usa on good faith with the rule the day one bounces that benefit will end.

Its CRIMINAL and can cause big problems so it should be taken very serious instead of ... we made a mistake sorry I will send you another...and you go ok thanks

So I take it as this and would without doubt post the name the first time it happens to me

Hey Boneprone, sent you an email. Need to get you some checks that aren't made of rubber. ;)

I dunno, man...

I think anyone could call someone out for bouncing a check.

That's simply bad business.

And if the companies involved aren't _offering_ to cover any fees incurred from something that was _their_ fault... I do wish names would be mentioned, as I need to keep in mind who to avoid doing business with.

Word.

Careful with Hentaiboss.com. They sent me a check which bounced, and never sent me a replacement, even after they said they would.

What would Anal Hobbit do?:)

SomeCreep good to see someone with balls to start.

You simply stated the facts and I think thats fine.

I dont want to bitch or be a pain in the ass to anyone but I would like to be part of helping the industry becoming a better place to work for us all if its possible.

Biaaatch I wont bounce your check send me some traffic..

BTW I fucked Her.. First

you need to change to wire transfer :)

hey we pay via epoch.. so if it bounces were both hunting epoch down..... hahah hopefully I get more of the traffic :)

Not everyone has a Shannon! haha

I have never had a bounced check yet but I have had it where the funds were held because the company had bounced numerous checks with my bank in the past.

I switched everything to wires, ACH and Epassporte and the only checks I get are CCBILL and XPAYS...

Yours at least arrive and bounce...mine sometimes simply vanish, unfortunately this happens more often with certain sponsors. They always re-issue them fast, but it sucks anyway.

:1orglaugh

Why don't you use epassporte?

This has turned into a test...

#1 - Don't send a major affiliate a check and see what happens when he posts on GFY about it.
#2 - Send the check knowing it will bounce and see what happens when he posts on GFY about it.

Final Result: The same shit happens. Nothing really.

You forgot #3: your own subscription to a rev program shows a three month charge back and you know it because all your sign-ups left a long time ago...:Oh crap

I guess you missed the "Anal Hobbits Guide to Fucking Over Affiliates"

SUCKS TO BE YOU!!!!! :1orglaugh

Throw some negroes on your site....

Click on Mr. Cosby.

Oh and I've NEVER received a bad check and if I do, I'm naming them.

I know who you're talking about. They sent me a bounced check also. Luckily, they're pretty easy to get in contact with.

Sucks dood... never fun dealing with that kind of bullschitt...

I'm sure those programs will sorely miss your traffic.

if you bounced a check to me, id frame it and put it on the wall in my office. now send me some of your traffic and ill make sure that never happens. :thumbsup

Bounced USD cheques are a real pain if you're not USA based since they take weeks to send bits of paper between banks in different countries. There is also currency conversion to consider, they debit your account for the USD equivalent on the day it BOUNCES rather than simply reversing the deposit amount.

Last time I had a bounced cheque from clickcash my bank lost it.

Only thing more annoying is when they won't admit it and try to blame your bank.

:2 cents::thumbsup

I do.

But I only have two sponsors send there. 100% of the money there seems to go right to my full tilt poker account.

Nah they wont. I dont send that much as I used to. They will be fine.

ITs more of a hastle for me than anything. A disrespect to affilates on their part.

If a sponsor is can bounce a check can they not also pay you late or not pay you at all?

Bouncing a check is illegal, period, end of story. Letting a sponsor just re-issue you a check is doing them a favor. Not having them paying you for any and all fee's you may have incurred (I have seen nasty chain reactions caused from 1 bounced check) is just giving them the privilege of fucking you twice.

For those of us in Northern America checks are not an inconvenience. They come with payment stubs, legal protections, no extra costs associated with using them if they are legal, and lastly no need to figure out who is who in epassporte (username, company, if they paid, when they last paid, ect).

Not to mention the following issues that bugged me. Keeping company incomes/accounting separate is more difficult with epassporte unless you want numerous epassporte accounts. Then lastly the time it takes to make it to the bank as I personally would hate to use an ATM (with fee's) all of the time to get your money out of epassporte and into your business accounts.

I totally agree After Shock Media....Bouncing a check is illegal, period, end of story :thumbsup

I wish I had the problem of sorting through 60 cheques for the bad ones :(

Boneprone, I have been meaning to contact you for a while. I thought our sites can fill some of your niches nicely.

It's even more fun if you get like 300 or so cheques a month. Missing signatures, wrong dates, bounced cheques, non sufficient funds etc. we've had it ALL :)

It's been eons since I had a check bounce.

I think over the years I've had less than 5 or 6 bounce.

I get checks from about as money programs as you do in a month too.

PK

Maybe I should promote the programs you do then. We should trade stories in private.

Bike, you too.

Stop using Tiny Shit programs with no reputation and you won't get your checks bounced.

Guess that's why we payout 1 million a month -

Reputation is everything!

Boneprone,if you want i can check your sites for traffic leak for free.I am good at that :)

Especially when they want to hold your checks already since they come from the US and you're in canada.

We have big programs who send bouncing checks too :2 cents:

Some of the programs who have bounced arent Tiny.....

And they do have reputaions.

And they payout just as much im sure.

Thats why it's distrubing.

That would be nice.

How do you do it? And what do you mean by leaks? You sound like a good friend to have.

Hit me up sometime.
