Sometimes it is the only option besides wire in affiliate programs. If the payment is international, the wire fee is high and the minimum payout is often also set high.
Later years, check payments sucks too internationally, because the banks will not (or can not) pay directly without clearing the checks first abroad. This process can take many weeks. And therefore they also now charge fees per check. Not per bulk of checks.
This setup only, is expensive, unpredictable and/or slow, from an affiliiate point of view. Unless you are a "whale" with a bigger and steady flow of income each week. Personally, I usually stear away from new progams with these options only. Especially if wire minimum payout is set high, the check option is not really a good option.
