Question about intervals of affiliate commission payments

    A question regarding the more common affiliate networks like CJ, Clickbank, Azoogle, Linkshare, etc.


    For lack of a better way to phrase the question, What is the most common "interval" that determines when you get paid your commissions?

    Is it by "monetary amount"... IE: you get paid whenever your account hits a certain amount... say when your account hits $500, or $1000, etc...

    Or is it on a "time schedule"... IE: you get paid every week, or 2 weeks, or monthly, etc.


    I guess this is assuming you're making commissions on a regular basis... what is the most common way?

    When your payment threshold is triggered, whatever that might be, typically commissions are paid out monthly by most major networks. You might be able to negotiate bi-weekly payments if your volume is significant enough.

    OK, so you have to hit both a threshold AND the check gets typically gets cut monthly, always on the same day? Correct?


    As an example, lets say my threshold is $500 and the check is set to get cut on the 30th of each month. Lets say I've only earned $400 in my account by check-cutting time. That means no check that month. If I get past $500 in my account the following month, I'll get that check on the 30th of that month. Correct?
