It's the Joe Blow Webmasters of the world that get a sale or 2 each week that'll end up getting $5 taken out of their $100 checks.

If you can honestly sit there & tell everyone that it costs you $5 to cut a check, then I think you really need to audit your payroll department.

First off it's not all about the cost. If it was a cost thing, I would be charging for epass like everyone else and I would make a ton more.
It's about changing behavior. Make one more appealing than the other and get people to change but allow those who refuse to change some options.

I'll address both of these as best I can and yes, I'll even post some private data (it's my private data so it's OK haha)

Percentage of affiliates over $500 a period that. Sure thing, about 80%. Now try to follow OK. The percentage of check guys between $100-$500 a a period is about 70%.


As for blow can't wait till his money is over $500 and is so broke he needs his money right away he can always get an epass for FREE and take it out of an ATM. Unlike almost ALL programs I don't charge for epass.


To put things in perspective.
Today: My personal bank refunds me for any atm fees I am charged, they pay me interest on all funds. I earn miles when I use my debit visa there and I get world class service.

Years ago: My bank charged me a monthly fee because I had too little money in there. I was charged ATM fees by my bank for using another banks ATM. I was charged a fee for using a real teller. I was charged a fee for depositing coins.

My point is you are not a naive person so don't act stupid and try to say everyone should be and is treated equally. It's life, it's why we strive to make more, be more and learn more. Big guys expect special treatment. I believe that's why you kept winning "contests" from CE. They didn't reward the "one or two sale guy" They gave YOU a reward because you sent them tons of sales. I didn't hear you bitching about the inequity then


Clearly you want to paint me out to be some kind of greeny err greedy monster over $5 which is absolutly laughable. I think it's about time you found something else to be indigent and self richeous about.

Is this some sort of Global Warming thing? Get everyone off paper & onto electronic funds? Save a tree, preserve the ozone layer?

Because if you had come out & said that from the beginning, I might have actually thought that you had a point.

But I don't see why it's up to you to change everyone's behavior. But, then again, it is your company, so speed & I wish you the best

Yeah, I should have never asked that one - my apologies on that.
