Be Aware of ClickBank's Dormant Fees

I have promoted a few affiliate offers from Clickbank, and I made over $100 in sales.

Normally, $100 should be the minimum needed to get a check.

Clickbank, however, will not send your first payment until sales have been made with at least 5 different credit cards (PayPal sales don't count).

They say this requirement is for anti-money laundering or something, but basically it lets them hold onto your money and hit you with fees.

What happened is that I had put promoting Clickbank offers on the back burner, because I was making more money with other monetization programs.

Today, I logged into my Clickbank account for the first time in a couple of months and noticed that, because I have not had a sale in 90 days, they started deducting $1 per pay period from my balance.

Needless to say, this is something you should be aware of.

I guess I'll have to start doing more ClickBank promotions to avoid the dormant fees and get closer to the 5 different credit card requirement.

In fact, that is probably what they want - to goad us to keep promoting their products.
