I just got an email from CJ explaining their new minimum payout structure. I have copied it below: In an effort to streamline our publisher payment process and better support environmentally conscious commerce, Commission Junction is revising its minimum payout amounts, effective August 28, 2008. What is Changing? We are revising the minimum amount needed in your Commission Junction Publisher account to receive earned commission checks each month. The changes are as follows: Currency New Minimum for Direct Deposit New Minimum for Paper Check USD 50 100 SEK 300 600 GBP 25 50 CAD 50 100 EUR 25 60
When Is It Changing? The change will be effective August 28, 2008, and will affect the checks you would receive as part of September’s payout. Why Is Commission Junction Making This Change? To streamline our publisher payment process. To offer publishers an incentive to switch to direct deposit because paper checks are less efficient, more costly and slower than the electronic option. To drastically cut down on paper consumption and better support environmentally conscious commerce. To better align our process with the industry because our minimum commission threshold to receive payment is, almost without exception, far below the current standard. How Will It Impact You? Simply stated, beginning in September you will be paid once your earned commissions meet or exceed the amount in the chart above (based on functional currency and payout option). If you wish to change payment methods, log in to your Account Manager, click the Account tab>Administrative Settings tab>Payment Information>Edit button. Changes should be made no later than August 28, 2008 to be in effect before the payments are processed in September. We hope you will be able to utilize the direct deposit method of payment if you are not yet using it – it will ultimately benefit you and the environment.
I did not receive any email from cj saying that...my minimum is still $25, maybe it will change later?
