If somebody wants special treatment, then they should have to pay fees associated with that, but that's it.

The companies that charge fees for all ways of getting paid and don't give you at least one way to get paid with out getting charged a fee is bs, but that is a different topic and not what I am talking about here. If *YOUR* bank charges you a fee then that is not that programs fault and out of their control, that's on you and your situation.
The way i see it, affiliate/program relationship is 2 business doing business together. It's B2B. Affiliates are not customers. If you don't like what a business has to offer you don't work with them, you can go work with another business. It's no more a privilege for them to get your traffic as it is a privilege for you to be able to promote and make money from their program. The entitlement, they need me attitude (i hate to tell you) is not only a bad one but rapidly becoming extinct. The way things have been going lately, you will likely need them more then they need you in the future, but that is a topic for another thread as well. It's just a bad attitude to have.
The "too many cards thing" is the best yet. I can't tell you how many people cried about OMG having too many cards so it would be unacceptable for a company to want to pay people directly via their own prepaid cards that they load vs having to send it all to a 3rd party to handle their money. The "inconvenience" of you having too many cards vs the potential risk of them losing thousands of dollars trusting a 3rd party, and you guys are hell bent on "setting the standard" way for all of these companies to pay so it is perfectly convenient for you.
It is absurd, to *demand* companies to have to send money to someone else to then send to you. THAT is special treatment if you ask me. If *YOUR* situation doesn't allow YOU to be able to be paid directly by the company then its YOUR problem and if you have a ever so slight inconvenience then tough shit. Everyone should be working together here and not come across like a bunch of spoiled brats.
