Popular affiliate network Commission Junction is changing the minimum commission earnings publishers must have before receiving payment. The primary change is in the difference between direct deposit and paper checks (which have a higher requirement).For the United States dollar, the new minimum for direct deposit is $50 and the new minimum for paper checks is $100.
The reason for the change? Obviously it's to streamline their operations and make the publisher payment process much smoother, but a change like this is almost always rooted in reducing costs - which you can't blame CJ for as they're in business to make money.
