yup, affiliates are everything in this business. Without them, customers turn off their computers.

thats not true. not all companies need affiliates. some can live off of b2b transactions with other companies by doing such things as cross sales and stuff like that. And some other companies actually do some inhouse traffic, but most don't. Most do rely on affiliates.

So what you are upset about is not that it is the affiliate that has to cover the expense it is to send a check. Instead of the sponsor being specific about it you would just prefer they hide it in the payout.

You'd rather get payed $1 less per member (according to your own post) or a 49% revshare and see a "FREE check" text? Talk about being raped in the ass then lol.

While I think $2 is just fine, I find $10 to be bullshit. If I want to mail a letter to my neighbor it will cost me $5. If I want to send a letter to another EU country it will cost me almost $2 and very close to $2 for the rest of the world.
I expect it will cost a sponsor something too to airmail me my check, and since they aren't a charity organization I will of course also expect that the expense will in the end be placed on myself.

So there is absolutely no costs involved in sending you a check? It's all pure profit?
I think it's a person like you we need you to lead the world. With a new reality of no expenses and all profit we'll soon be out of the financial crisis.

you totally miss it, this whole arguement went way over your head and if your reply is what you got out of all my posts here there is absolutely nothing else I can say to try to make you understand it.

right that is what i am saying, i want to be ass raped harder, i don't think it cost anything to send checks... etc... :upsidedow but with all of that said you think $2 is ok but $10 is not lmao. so i am crazy for thinking that the fee shouldn't be passed on, but you are saine for picking the exact amount that is acceptable.... :winkwink: GFY, got to love it.

Personally, this is how I would offer payouts:

Checks - Free
ePassporte - $2 (or whatever their current fee is)
Bank wire - $35 or waive if minimum payout is above a certain threshold

The programs that do offer free payout options should definitely be taking advantage of that fact in their "Why choose us?" / program features; which not many do.
