I Hate Clickbanks 5 Credit Card Requirement

I know lots of people use Clickbank and I have had an account for several years, but I haven’t really been promoting my website that I sell e-books on for quite sometime. Every once in awhile I get a random sale and I have it set to pay out at 25 dollars. I never had a problem until the end of last year and now.

They require 5 different credit cards during the year before they will payout and many people use their paypal account instead of a credit card so they don’t count that toward the requirement. I now have 49 dollars in my account which they will start deducting a dollar every 2 weeks simply because they can.

Until there are more purchases by credit cards whatever money I have in that account I can just consider a donation to clickbank. In my opinion that sucks, but if I pushed for more sales then I wouldn’t have that problem. At the end of last year the same thing happened also and the few measly bucks dwindled fast and the last 2 payments instead of a dollar they took 4 and then 5.

I wonder what happens after the money in the account is gone. Will they decide to bill me every 2 weeks for a dollar just to keep the account open or will they delete it? I prefer using my paypal account over credit cards so I certainly think they should change their policy about 5 different credit cards before they will pay you. It should go by how many purchases.

I need to decide if I want to get rid of the account I have used for so long because all they seem to be doing with me is sucking up the few dollars that I make through using their system. I would then have to delete everything I have connected with them and that’s going to be a pain. I hate when you go through all that trouble to set stuff up then a couple years later everything unravels.

Just like with my original websites when I set up different ads through CJ and some of the others, lots of the companies that advertised through them would cancel their affiliate accounts and you have to go through and remove all those stupid ads, what a pain. I am going to soon go through those sites and move all the information to my main site and just delete them all. What a waste of time.
