It's bad enough that you have to give Linkshare your ssn, but when they asked for my bank account info I stopped the application. Are these guys legit? Is it really necessary to give them my bank info? Why on earth can't they just send a check? What do you guys think?
LinkShare is a legit affiliate network. They've been in the business long enough. I have an account with them but back then they do not require bank account info. Hope this help. Good Luck!
Well, I guess that if you want to receive wire payment they need the bank info ?! Only good things for LinkShare
I, too, have nothing but good things to say about LinkShare. BTW...they need the SNN for 1099 reporting purpose. You know...it's a legal thing. They have to report to Uncle Sam if you make over $600 in a calender year. If you are a legit affiliate marketer who pays his/her taxes on income it shouldn't be a problem. And, the banking info is so they can pay you. And, giving a company your routing number and account number does not mean it works in the other direction as well. They cannot withdraw money just with those two numbers. Your bank account is safe. With all the shady and scammy affiliate programs out there today, it nice to deal with a network like LinkShare. Jim
