If it's a NATS Program then the cost of processing is around 4% per transaction.

No, the reason APs are doing this is to keep the money for as long as possible, no other reason. And from an affiliate's POV it's fucked up.
You have a small view due to your small business.

Can you explain why a sponsor wants to bother with tiny affiliates who can't wait 2-3 months for $100 or have people making 1 or fewer sign ups or rebills a month? I understand from a small business man's POV it's bad.

How is an affiliate promoting a site where he would have 100s of sponsors not making $100 over a 3-months? A gallery once a month, Tube site or a blog with a few posts about each site. Which one is it?

I agree with Barry, it's to encourage people to properly promote and not stick up anything that might just get a sign up one day. It's also to weed or deter these people.

As for getting rich off those small people, I doubt it.
