I was not saying that online checks were bad - I´m saying that we are not using these enough, along with alot of other payment options, which would bring peace of mind to alot of sponsors and webmasters. We (sponsors and webmasters) are looking at those holy per signup rates, and thinking "we must not change, because it will hurt".... This is how some of us will go extinct.
If we lower the payout, then we would be able to push many different payment options more aggressive.
Checks are slower at paying those $35 per signup, than credit cards, thats why we still have VISA/MC as option#1. If the payout was lower for checks, and webmasters would accept it, then I´m sure checks would be option #1 at alot of programs.
We have been working on a new setup, which have lots of other payment options beside VISA/MC. However we know that not all of them will work in a "$35 per free trial" program, because they do not have free trials, or might not recurre etc. This leaves us with changing our membership pricing and/or webmaster payout, if we want this to work.
