Commission Junction decided to raise its minimum payout to 50 U.S. dollars for direct deposits and 100 dollars for paper checks. Newbies and small affiliates might get a little upset. But fair enough, that increases the company’s efficiency and reduces unnecessary expenses. Actually they should get rid of paper checks completely.
What I don’t like about CJ’s payment policy is that they pay slowly. Many affiliates receive their payouts not before 20 days after the end of the month. Professional affiliates are usually liquid enough to cover that period. But beginners in affiliate marketing should join other networks perhaps.

I’ve never really got on with CJ. Although I use them, I had a rocky start. At first I got approved, but wasn’t having any luck with my promotions, so didn’t earn anything - so they just shut down my account. I contacted them and asked them to let me be approved again, which they did and I use them for 2-3 products only, but I have found them more awkward to use than other programmes. I stick with them though, even though I only make about US$40/month from the tiny bit I do with them, I can never tell when they will suddenly have a product I want to promote heavily, so I keep the account just ticking over.
I’d not recommend them to a new affiliatethough as I think their system of approval and finding products is quite hard to use. I dropped almost all affiliate networks once I discovered how easy Adsense was and am now slowly introducing affiliate networks back into my mix so I am not heavily dependent on Adsense.
CJ really should look at how their competitors do business.
