Canadian Signing Up for Commission Junction - Which Currency The Best?

I'm looking to sign up with commission junction (cj.com) and it's asking me to choose desired currency claiming that I won't be able to change it anytime in the future. I'm tempted to choose Canadian Dollars, because that's my home currency, but would I be sacrificing anything? Do they apply some weird exchange rates or something/ Would I be better off signing up with US dollars as desired currency and just collect US$ in my US account?

Somebody, please help

 

I went with the CANADIAN dollar.. just to keep it all simple.

 

I'll go with the USD. You can always exchange them for canadian ones.

 

Go with Canadian dollars. Either CJ will do the conversion from USD to CAD, or you'll have to do it yourself. Your bank may charge fees to do a currency conversion, so it's probably not worth it to get paid in USD and then exchange the money yourself.

 

I know I could exchange US dollars for Canadians easily, that I wasn't concerned with. I'm more concerned about how commission junction pays commissions in foreign currency. I can imagine that most of the sponsors do business in US dollars. Hence if you promote a product from a sponsor that pays (for example) US$25 per sale, you would get US$25 from CJ provided your account is in US dollars. Where as if you choose the payment in Canadian dollars, CJ may only send me $24 Canadian or less (I'm just shooting blanks, i don't know how it works, hence I ask).

I mean my question is - does CJ pay fair equivalent of the commission earned even if my account is in the currency other than the US$, which is without doubt the currency CJ gets paid from their advertisers in.

Do I make any sense to anyone still?

 

CJ should use the current exchange USD to CAD exchange rate to pay you. If you have more questions, just give them a call on Monday - http://www.cj.com/about/contact.html .

 

Its probably easier if you accept the payment in USD. After you reach some amount, you can exchange to CAD.
