If I had an affiliate program, I would set the minimum to $500 as well.

Exactly
Affiliate programs used to have a level of scale where it made sense to issue a large amount of small payments, and high margins to eat the cost. Nowadays if someone sends 3 sales and demands a $50 payout, they are usually wasting your time.
