Programs that are on MPA3 or NATS have chosen to use a cascading tracking solution and in doing so have reduced their declined sale percentage due to scrub. They've elected to expand their promotional tools offerings, etc. All of these reasons for an affiliate program to choose MPA3 help affiliates make more money, too. More sales through the cascade mean bigger checks for everyone.
Programs on MPA3 are not big cheaters... quite the contrary! They're doing what they can to make the maximum amount of sales for their sites AND for their affiliates using trusted technology that is tried and true in our industry.
Now, I understand that the question here is if the program will SEND the check... I read the thread. I'd just encourage affiliates to review the program and judge it on their individual merits.

I've been thinking about this post and the current slow-paying environment, with all this sponsors acting big at shows and then not paying on time. I think those slow-payers are really ultimately taking business away from MPA3 and NATS.
I run both a CCBill payout program and an Epoch payout program and, although the Epoch runs a stripped down MPA3 for the cascade, both processors cascade and I don't need MPA3 or NATS to have a full-featured affiliate program. I'm pretty sure SpookyCash was the first program to have affiliate-coded RSS, so having MPA3 or NATS would not have helped there. I didn't used to much care what system a program used, but I'm sick and tired of playing bill collector for small amounts, and that means MPA3 and NATS are both big turn-offs now.
