Affiliate fraud is out of fucking control atm.
You wouldn't believe the number of scammers praying on programs who are easily caught napping. Banned 7 accounts yesterday for totally obvious fraud, sent out another 12 emails for accounts I am pretty sure are fraud but want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
A longer hold period and higher min payout helps you get more data to act upon, has saved us tens of thousands of dollars this past year alone. Its not like we benefit either, we refund the sales so we dont get slugged with that nasty Chargeback fee when (not if) that CB comes in.
