The savvy affiliate will contact the program to close their account, at which point, most affiliate programs (many won't openly disclose this) will, upon request, pay out the under threshold earnings, less reasonable clerical costs (ie. cost of the check, postage, etc), that's remaining in the account at closing.

However, most affiliates don't pursue under threshold earnings out of ignorance, while some purposely don't, for good business reason, as in time is money - is it really worth spending lots of time trying to collect $25 ... for some it's worth the effort, for others, they just figure fuck it and move on.
