Has anyone else noticed this trend with ClickBank?

Yah, I hear ya! Oh no! Not another CB complaint. But here's the thing.

Does your account sales in ClickBank look anything like this?

I used to get paid every pay period (when it was 2x a month). And then, they switched to this new system of paying every 2 weeks - looks like that was implemented around Nov. 12/08. The next pay, Nov. 26, I received a payment.

Interestingly, on Dec. 10, my account began showing "threshold" every two weeks thereafter. From Dec. 10 to April 29, every other pay period, I did not meet the threshold and did not get paid.
So I got paid Nov. 26,
Dec. 10, skipped
Dec. 24, paid
Jan. 7, skipped
Jan. 21, paid
Feb. 4, skipped... etc. etc.
up to the last pay showing of Apr. 29, skipped.

It seems alarmingly interesting that every other pay period, I am below threshold (less than $100). How could such regularity occur? I do believe in coincidences, but this is ridiculous.

Has anyone else noticed this trend in their accounts? Does anyone have any insight into why this regularity seems to be happening - because I did not miss any pay periods for several years previously.

Hi Sylvia,

Not that this answers your question,

but you could drop the payment threshold lower (I think you can go as low as ten bucks).

Cheers,

It's not really much data to work with, but I would say that's quite a regular fluctuation... I don't know your niches, but it seems pretty normal..

Peace

That's not the point, though. It means I'm not getting credited as I once was. My overall monthly pay is now half what it was... which wasn't much to start with. With the fancy color enhancements at CB, these missed payments are now pretty obvious (in orange rather than green) - particularly, the regularity with which they occur.

It just seems very odd to me, and particularly that it began happening right AFTER they switched their pay periods. Bizarre, don't you think?
