So far i've made 52.00 but I don't know when they are going to be sending my check. Do I have to call them or are they just going to send it?
There is a delay between the commission showing up and payment. This distinction is noted by the different categories. You will not get paid until the commissions are "locked." You have to reach a minimum threshold of locked commissions. I think it depends on your method of payment and your country. Once you have met the minimum threshold of locked commissions, you can have payment sent to you by check or electronic means.
To echo the chorus here... I get paid by check, and you don't need to worry about them paying. Once everything is processed and confirmed, you'll get paid. I think I have been with them for 4-5 years and I have never had a problem.
If you reach the $25 threshold during November and all commissions are locked by the 10th of December (some merchants extend transactions to factor in return periods), your check will be sent around the 20th of December.
As with everyone else, I also get paid by check. Haven't had any problems yet! Your funds probably weren't in before the payment cycle.
