Payoneer experience - Debit card for Affiliate Marketers

Hey folks, thanks for replying. Again, I appreciate it.

So, gabibeowulf, I think that Payoneer's debit card idea is awesome. The problem for me is finding a company partner that has a reasonable business model. - The ones that I researched on their list, are not that great.
And as an affiliate with Clickbank, Amazon, and a few other Affiliate Networks, I don't want to have to join a business in an entirely different market. ( ex. Freelance sites, CPA Networks, MLM, advertising platforms like Infolink - that pay out little to nothing, Forex, etc. ) to get their card. But, apparently, because of US regulations restrictions, it isn't possible to avoid this.
Because of that fact, I had to narrow down a list of companies that I at least stand a chance of getting the card through. ( The main one on my short list is GVO, if you ever seen|heard of the company. )

btw: If you don't mind me asking, through which Payoneer partner, did you get your card? - I really just need the card, so that I can get Payoneer's US payment service.

Edit: I almost forgot to response to this as well, the suggestion to open a US business. As I may or may not have mentioned, getting a bank account is currently not an option for me. ( This will also exclude using Paypal's services, because the account would have to be 'bank verified'. )

** Again, that is the appeal of Payoneer's debit card, if and when I can ever get it. It's that you can earn your commissions, have it sent to the card and then 'cash out' at an ATM. That's what I need for right now.

Hey, dalegolden.

Most of the answer to your question, is in my reply above.

To be frank, really the only great experience I've had with Payoneer so far, is dealing with Nissim, one of their community managers.

For the sake of options, I think that there should be a lot more legit companies that do what they do; especially here in the states. - Less red tape and hoops jumping.

btw: I'll ask you the same thing that I asked the person above. - If you don't mind me asking, which Payoneer partner did you get your card from?

That way I can maybe apply for and get the same card for the US payment service, with your help.

On another note dalegolden, what is the 411 with your Adsense report in your signature link? Are you having success with your system? If so, can you help me find success with it too? Thanks!!

gabibeowulf -

Are you saying that if you are a non-US company, Amazon will no longer pay you via a Payoneer visrtual US account / Debit Card?

Hey, zoldusta.

So, yeah, it's too bad that Payoneer seems to have a monopoly in the market, when it comes to debit cards; and getting commissions from them.

As for applying for the card, finding a Payoneer partner that I can work with is the issue. - As I mentioned earlier, most of their business partner's business models are terrible when it comes to getting paid.
In your case, you suggested that I sign up with Freelancer.com. But, I'm not a freelancer, I'm an affiliate. And besides, I have considered getting a Payoneer branded card through sites like this one, but then the problem of meeting Payoneer's threshold for applying for the US payment service will be a hindrance.
Why? Because freelancing sites have you ** bid ** for jobs, that you may or may not get and may or may not get paid for. And that is not the type of business I want to be in.

I appreciate your help all the same though. Thanks!!

Thanks again for replying gabibeowolf.

So, the thing is that I'm not in the CPA industry, nor do want to be. For various reasons, including the fact that a lot offers in that industry are complete rip-offs for prospects. ex. Free Ipod, 'Magic' Pills, etc.
At least with Amazon, Clickbank, etc. I can actually find and promote legitimate product and services offers.

The problem again, is that none of these more reasonable companies, including their business models are available for me to apply for the Payoneer card directly.

btw: Again, as a sidenote, I'd like to learn more about your Adsense system in your signature. Thanks!

Any update on Amazon Associates for non-US Affiliates payment method? I'm looking for a solution too. Anyone has better idea, please PM me, thanks.

Hey, masterz. Thanks for replying.

I've actually researched all of Payoneer's partners listed here:
Payoneer Affiliates: Networks

But, I will certainly check that 'drop-down' box list, to see if there are any companies that I might have missed. - It would be great if it was a full list of partners though.

Again, it is too bad that Payoneer couldn't just simply issue their card directly for US residents. - I wish that there were some more options when it comes to commission cards in general. That way, I probably would have a card already, to get paid my Amazon commissions.

I was actually looking into going this route, but I don't have an e-commerce store, as per their requirement.

So, how did you go about it?

Thanks in advance for your support.

You could try applying for an Etrade brokerage account with comes with a debit card and a bank account number. Go to etrade.com and apply. Only thing you may have to fork out $500 or $1K (not sure how much) as an initial deposit. But once you get the card -- you can draw down on that plus their withdrawal fees are lower that many of the prepaid options out there

Please PM me your email or ticket ID and I'll look in to this right away.

Agreed David and Nissim seem to be quick to deal with any problems, I have had a few issues along the way but more to do with Amazon than Payoneer.

US bank transfers can take up to 7 business days to arrive. I received your PM and will check the account status for you.

Thanks for question. My response is below.

I don't know, because I do not use their services. - And from my quick research, it turns out that they offer a virtual cc service, which means that they are of no use to me.

But, I am curious as to what got you interested in the company in the first place.

Hey Beatriceb - thanks for the great feedback! We do our best to keep our customers happy.

Do you have their debit card? I would like to get your experience with that, if you do.
Thanks.

The card to card is indeed still an active service, though it's a secondary one. The Payoneer card is focused on payroll and payout services - it is not meant for personal use. When someone applies for a card it is mainly to receive payments from partners (businesses we work with) and/or via our US Payment Service, which allows individuals to get paid by US companies.

In order to be eligible for the card to card transfer, both cardholders have to first of all be eligible for the service. Certain partners don't have the option enabled so this sometimes causes a problem. Another must is that both cardholders are actively receiving payments in the methods mentioned above (partners/USPS) and only then the C2C option opens up.

Hope that clarifies the issue for you!

Well, when I started this thread, I was getting frustrated with the fact that due to being a U.S. resident, I couldn't get their card directly.
And also, when I started the process to look for a suitable business partner of theirs, to do business with, so that I can get a Payoneer branded card, I ended up with more roadblocks there, as well.

idk: Maybe I should change the topic title to something else. Because starting a new Payoneer thread, about some of the issues that I already mentioned here, might seem pointless.

ddev, Thanks again, for the feedback.

But, what I really would like to know, that would be helpful to me, is which Payoneer partner did you get the card from? Or did you manage to get the card directly? As being a U.S. resident, as I am, this is not possible, due to U.S. regulations.

Thanks for the great feedback! Glad to hear you're enjoying our services.

It is good to have alternatives.

Thanks for the reply jeffsolochek.

But, here's my question - does Netspend work as a payment processor for Affiliate Networks, like Payoneer does?
If so, that would be great. Because it would give another option (especially in my case, as an U.S. resident ) for others to get paid their affiliate commissions, etc.

@drr: I'm sorry to hear that you had an unsatisfactory experience with our customer support department. If you'd like to PM me your Payoneer account e-mail I'd be happy to look into it personally.

@WorldAmbassador: We do allow you to receive funds to the US Payment Service that are sent to a company name, so long as you can provide us with documents and details confirming the company belongs to the Payoneer account holder (and that the Payoneer account is opened under an individual and not business).

You say US bank transfers? Will US Dollar transfers from an offshore bank that has a USD account within it work as long as the company is a real company? Then you will be able to transfer these USD transfers to the payoneer card that is in the name of one of the officers of the overseas company?

The US Payment Service only supports receiving US ACH transfers, from US companies. Currently we are not able to support receiving international wire transfers.

Thanks!
