If a program close should you be paid without reaching the min?

yes or no

Hell yeah.. The "minimum" is just supposed to be for them to reduce their fraud and costs, NOT to be used as an excuse to rip you off.

yeah of course

what shitty program is not doing so ?

I can think of a few who have done this to me - i saw the wegcash thread ( they dont owe me anything ) and it got me thinking about programs from a longgggg time ago that shut down that i had a couple sales in

There's one this year I can think of that I`m pretty sure closed without paying out the below minimums. A well known figure on this board too. Not a nice practice in my opinion. But I guess when u fuck your business into the ground and have no money to pay out what can an affiliate expect. All one can do is remember for when they reopen the next one.

good luck with that. they are out of business because they have no money, how they going to pay you?

It should be yes, but if they say they are bankrupt then you have nothing to do with it.

of course

of course

they will follow the trend of the BROS

What He Said :2 cents: :pimp

Absolutely they should. Cannot think of a genuine reason why anyone would think otherwise.

If they closed? Hell yea
ds

of course

YES!

no doubt about it.

Yes, of course.

Of course not. They need all the amounts below minimum to fund their closing down party.

One thing that I noticed yesterday, that REALLY pissed me off: I was checking all my sponsors to make sure I didn't have any payout option set as Epass, and I noticed that A LOT OF THEM raised the minimum payout from $50 to $200. I have over $1.5k stuck in different sponsors because I didn't reach the $200 minimum!!

Yes but if you have 2-3$ then you dont need payout :)

Of course but let's be realistic most programs that close don't pay the people who have hit the min, let alone those who didn't.

AMEN :warning

Many affiliates may have earned $1,000s and waiting for the next few sign ups to get to the minimum again to get a payout. And didn't expect the program to close.

yep, sure thing!!

Simply put - a sale is a sale

If it came from your traffic then you should be paid for sending it no matter how small. Sadly though companies that go under realize that those who can and would sue them are the larger ones and if you have less than the min - it's simply not worth it and you'll write it off.

Lots of shady programs that are still around. Sucks when they keep your money.

I vote yes.

It's probably too late once they've closed so it doesn't matter what you think they should do. You've agreed to their terms and conditions and there is probably nothing in there about having to pay minimums. The affiliates who were revshare are screwed the most. What happened to their rebills for life? And when a revshare only program closes, I don't get that at all. There's probably some risk there because there were probably some definite items in writing about lifetime payouts.

I don't believe any of these companies are bankrupt. They are just closing their operations because they don't want to put effort into something that is so little or is declining.

Hell yes but I've had quite a few that didn't.

obviously.. it was earned

noticed that as well. most are now min 150-200 when they got rid of epass.

Like who?
