Much of this seems to come from the (in my opinion) misguided desire to pay affliates immediately for sales. In order to do this without risk to the program, the program has to apply much higher standards to signups to avoid fraud.
Perhaps it isn't fraud that is an issue, but the entire concept of instant pay. To me this seems to be a concept just begging for a good credit card scam.
For programs considering instant pay, I have a suggestion: Spend some money on new promotional products, customer retention, etc... I would rather wait 15 days to get paid fore very sale and know that you are working hard to retain the customers longer, rather than getting the (pointless) high of seeing my epass account go up by $11 every time I make a sale... except that 30% of those sales might not be good, so I guess I wouldn't even get that, right?
