Payout Thresholds Are Annoying!
June 27, 2007 – 7:44 pm
I've looked over a few of my accounts recently and I have around $84 in one, $55 in another and $92 in another. That's $228 in total, over £100! Can I get this money? No, because the payout threshold is $100 on all of them.
I can understand why the thresholds are there, but if Amazon, possibily one of the biggest networks when it comes to affiliate numbers (I could be wrong there, just guessing as it's the longest affiliate scheme running that I know of) can make a payout via bank for a threshold of £10, why can these other places not make their payouts sooner?
Okay two reasons. The first is paperwork, accounts and administration. Understandable. The second option? So they can make the interest on your money. It's almost like having a bank account but not being allowed access to it.
