What Form Of Payment From A Sponsor Do You Prefer Rumpleforeskin?
I'm not going to say that I'm fighting with a couple of sponsors about this, but I'm old school & pretty much assume that when I sign up to an affiliate program, they'll pay me with a check.
I'm finding more & more that don't offer payments by check & use wires or something like ePassporte or Storm Pay or whichever the fad of the day is I'm not a big fan of wires (had a big problem with one a few years ago that left a sour taste in my mouth) I don't really mind ePassporte, but nothing beats having that check come in the mail, opening the envelope & putting the info into MS Money So - if you had the option on all of these (and you paid the fees, since most don't eat the transfer costs unless it's a large amount) which would you choose? |

I wish all my sponsors did ePassporte.
Don't like checks in the mail at all. They get lost and if I'm out of town they just sit in the mail box. I get the same warm fuzzy feeling logging in and see deposits as I do opening letters without all the hassle of dealing with mail. CCBill is my biggest income and they don't do ePassporte. They do direct deposit I hear but I've never gone trough the trouble of setting it up and it annoys me that they want $25 bucks for each direct deposit. |

I'll take a check and I sure don't want to incur a fee for being paid something owed to me. Damn that 35c charge from ccBill.

I like checks too (although here there are silly fees) + Epassporte is also good.

epassporte all the way for me
ccbill is also my main source of income, I'm looking forward to the day when they incorporate epassporte payments (as I'm sure they will - be it a month or 2 years). |

a cheque in your hand sure is nice...although being in Canada most of them get held for 2 wks
but it's ok cuz the exchange makes it worth it (well for now anyway) Ponygirl |

A regular old check in the mail gets me going
I don't really like having too much in my ePass account since it doesn't do much use there. The ePass exchange rate sucks compared to my other options, so I only keep little money in there to pay designers and stuff like that. |

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people!

ePassporte and checks however I like ePassporte more than checks

I'd prefer a mix of beer and blowjobs, but if that isn't offered, I'll take a check. If they'd make direct deposit simple and free, I'd take that. I like check stubs for accounting purposes too.

I have never understood why anyone would have a problem with wires.

Live and learn. And take very careful notes!
|
i like epassporte the most and direct deposit, because i am foreign it takes to long to receive the check, plus my bank takes to long to sent me the money of the check, then my bank send me huge bills for cashing the check, and then every 3 months i get an fight with my bank again because it seems some checks bounched back and with the administration of my bank i cant see which ones, my first choise is epassporte)))

Ahhh ... sweet pity. Where would my love life be without it?
|
I like epassporte the best. I don't like having to drag my lazy butt to the bank, plus it's great being paid instantly on payday.

And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream |
In the past it took 14 days for sponsor to write out the check, another 14 days for the postal service to deliver it to me and about 2 months to cash it out.
Now (or in the near future) with EP I could instantly, when I get sign up, withdraw the money from the ATM in front of my house (everywhere on the globe). Guess what do I prefer? |

I'm not an affilate of any programs but if I were I'd prefer the instant payout of ePassporte. -- Big Surprise! I do have funds loaded onto my ePassporte account at least twice a month. I spend the cash faster than that though. |

I can wait the 3 days it takes the check to get here (especially since I have a line of credit with the bank so most funds are available instantly - lol) |

I didn't realize that wires cost so much. Guess this explains CCBill's wire charge.

I would *prefer* direct deposit, so I voted for it. I take a check from every sponsor I use though, except the one which offers direct deposit.
I'm reluctant to join epassporte because I'm stubborn, but since I've been told you can go in and transfer funds direct to your bank account, I suppose I'll have to do it and do the direct depositing myself.

ePassporte all the way.
Btw, concerning the ePassporte Electron card, how has the success rate been? I heard some people were having trouble using it at select locations even though they allowed VISA cards.
