CJ.com: Worst Affiliate Network (Pt 2)
Today I spoke (again) with Commission Junction about why they are over two weeks late for paying out a small four-figure amount.
Commission Junction (the worst affiliate network on the planet) claims that my bank’s routing number which I have used countless times for other affiliate networks, jobs, paypal is not valid. By that logic, the checks that I write to my land lord should also bounce because every one of my checks have the same routing number printed on them. They promise that they will pay me… in three weeks. Are you kidding me?
Since this fiasco I have stopped all advertising with Commission Junction and now just waiting to get paid so I can stop logging into cj.com and wonder if the world’s worst affiliate network will get off their butts and write a simple check. It’s getitng to a point where I am wondering if they are ever going to pay me or whether I should take legal action against the network.
If you are using Commission Junction (or looking into using the world’s worst affiliate network) — stop and use a network that is much more reliable such as Hydra.

My bank was rcently purchased and changed its routing number. Yes all my physically written checks still clear, and most but NOT all online payments I had previously setup automatically detected and adjusted to the change. However my payrol company (ADP) and 2 companies I pay online could not automatically update and I did have to notify them of the change. Sorry you had problems, but I would b*tch at the bank as much as at CJ.

My bank was not bought out by anyone.
I would give CJ some slack except I was still paid by all of my other affiliate networks so there is no reason that CJ should not have worked except for that fact that CJ is just plain awful.
