Usually I am taking up for affiliates but I have to side with program owners on this one. Seeing how much demanding and bitching that has been going on lately about how affiliates want to get paid...

I don't want checks.
I don't want too many cards.
I don't want to pay for wires.

I want you to use companies like epass to send me my money. I want you to add this payment program, I want you to add that payment program....

Here is the deal, these companies risk a LOT of money when they use 3rd party companies like epass to send you money. They transfer over tens of thousands of dollars (some even more than that) and then *trust* that company to turn around and send out those payments to your accounts with them. Look at what happened with epassporte, they froze wallets (most likely not by chance) right after a lot of companies transferred over large sums of money to make affiliate payments.

You affiliates don't care about the risk they take or if they lose their money, you will still expect to be paid.

When these programs offer to pay you directly via a prepaid card you bitch and cry " noooo I don't want to have 20 cards!!!! ". When they offer to pay you directly through a check " no it takes too long to get to me or my bank charges me to cash it".

If I was one of these companies I would offer a prepaid card option where that affiliate program load their own card and the money goes directly to you and if, god forbid, you had to have more than 1 card per company then you would just have to suck it up and deal with it. The horror!

You guys expect a lot, you expect these companies to jump on board with just any 3rd party company that comes a long and for them to risk tons of their money just because you don't want a check, or to pay for a wire, or because you don't want too many cards.

- feel free to give me negative rep if I pissed you off, you guys and your rep shit, it's worst then high school. " rep me and i will rep you" , totally defeats the purpose of having a rep system, it *could* have been a USEFUL feature if people would have taken it seriously. Now its just a "rep me and I will rep you" bullshit and " i didn't like you post, you get bad rep".
