still waiting on payment

[bonustreak]

I really have to be honest and I am in no way picking on you Rhonda but come one all this for $27? I see this and can understand totally why programs have a min amount rule before a payout is given. Your lucky they are sending that amount most have at least $100 min. I would suggest they just put it in your player account and be done with it.

Here's the problem I have with this long thread and all the "Im still waiting" posts.

This is not Ben or C-planet's fault. They send out wired payments in full, just like iNetBet and CWC does. None of these 3 programs take out any fees when they send out our wire payments. BUT... all 3 incur fees along the way which causes the recieved payment to be slightly less then the earned amount.

My C-planet wire payment arrived earlier this week. The amount that posted to my account was exactly $27 less then the earned amount. Same as Rhonda. Mine is not short, but is from fees. I'm pretty certain Rhonda's $27 is also from fees.

When payments are wired, sometimes even though the sender doesn't take out any money for fees, there are fees deducted by a financial institution midway from the sender's bank to ours. This is quite common actually. My iNetBet wires are always $20 less then the earned amount. They don't take out fees either. CWC is always less for the same reason too.

It's not fair to blame Ben for customary charges that had nothing to do with him or C-planet.

By the way, thanks for the payment Ben! I received my August earnings in full on September 22nd.

Daera (Lori) makes a good point. Wire fees are a bitch, but that's what you sometimes get with wire payments -- even if the affiliate program agreed to pay "all" wire fees when they sent the wire. Last month, I received a wire that was $70 short thanks to all the damn fees.

Maybe an e-wallet such as NETeller, QT, Eco, or Moneybookers would be a better option. Accumulate multiple payments into the account, then withdraw once or twice a month.

Engineer would that be the Coins wire by chance? Mine was 70 bucks in fees as well, I think he is looking for a new processor asap at least I hope so. I don't think the 27 in fees should even be given to the affiliate in this case if it is given then it will set a president by opening a can of worms. I could see other affiliates start nagging for the return of their fees and then guess what, we will all the sudden see a new retroactive term set in place due to this type of thing.

It was BCP -- possibly the same processor, but I don't know for sure. Coins pays me via QT now, which is great. No wire fees; no international checks to deal with.

no offense taken bonusstreak.. but they paided me only $179, my commission for June and July was $206. its the principle not the amount. and if I was a big time affiliate like you $27 dollars is probably a nickle to you. also I would take the pending balance in my player account, but I will say this again CPlanet doesn't respond to my messages also, I have always received the total commission that I have made, if cplanet is now subtracting the fee, ben should if said this, and I would have no problem with that. but if you read ben's post he clearly stated I'm owed money.

Instead of the back-and-forth on this one... Ben - can you determine if C-Planet sent the full amount here? What I would like to have determined is this:

Was it an accidental mis-payment? Or did C-Planet pay the full amount and Rhonda's bank levied charges?


For wire payment, my bank (as almost all banks do) charge me. $27 is a VERY typical wire fee. If this is a bank wire fee - then I do not believe C-Planet should be paying additional monies. If it was a shorted affiliate payment (which happens from time to time, trust me), then it should be sent to the player account as suggested.

Thanks guys!

I sometimes forget just how lucky we are in the UK - we have not had to pay ANY bank fees for about the last 20 years! (Except if exceeding an overdraft limit).
In fact, UK banks pay us to have accounts with them - by paying interest on positive balances.

Back on topic; I received my C-Planet payment on Sept-18th = 3 days late.
BUT I'm not complaining - at least I'm earning something with these guys, not like the ZERO I get from about 50% of the casinos I promote...

KK, I hope that's casinos you're trying out .. other words, putting on display to see how they will perform ... and not casinos you just put up and now 3 years later still haven't made money with.

I say this because it is important for all of us to weed our gardens. If after a decent amount of time they don't produce ... take them off your sites because it may be that they are something more than merely incompetent at converting players.

If they are cheating you then the money they are gaining is helping to grow an entity in this industry that we all can do without. Even if the program is eventually ignored by all serious affs ... if they are given time to gain their bankroll by our neglect to stop adverting non-producing programs ... not only will they then be well-funded for advertising but considering their proven ethics it is likely they will invest some of that monies into supporting black hat affs because I remind they won't have much exposure on white hat portals.

I think you all can see where that goes and can figure how quickly that could make our already bad waters .. even more murky. its a very valid point.

* Not picking on KK, just saw an opportunity to make a point.


oh and you'll thank yourself for shedding that dead weight in the long run.

I got the impression Ben's statement to Rhonda saying that he didn't know why she was underpaid, was taking what she said as fact and reassuring her that if she was underpaid he'd make sure she got the rest.

From what I understand, Jonathan is the one that would have the exact payment details. I'm just guessing to say that Ben probably didn't have that in front of him when he posted.

Luckyleo from our forum, received her payment for August earnings $27 less, as did I. I don't think it's by coincidence that our payments are all $27 less.

Does anyone here receive payments from iNetBet, Intertops or CWC via wire? If so, they'd know that the amount received is always $20-$30 less due to fees. These fees aren't being taken by the receiving bank, but maybe a financial institution along the way.

I don't think it's feasible for programs to send our payments out for more then we earned in anticipation of fees that might come out after it leaves their hands. Nor is it feasible for them to refund us for fees that were incurred after it left their hands.

If a program made a mistake on my earnings paid, whether it was $1 off or $100 off, it wouldn't matter. I'd want it corrected and I'd want to be paid the correct amount.. to the very last dollar. Regardless of the size of an affiliate, the earned amount should be paid out correctly, to the last dollar.

But if C-planet paid the earnings out correctly, and the difference is due to some fees incurred from the wire transaction, then there's nothing to correct.
