4. Why is my balance decreasing?

Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge.

For more information, please refer to our Accounting Policy.

5. How long do I have to cash my ClickBank check?

ClickBank checks are void after 90 days, please present checks promptly to your financial institution. Failure to do so will result in your check becoming stale. ClickBank will issue a new check once a stale check is returned to ClickBank. For more information, please refer to our Accounting Policy.

6. I listed a business name in my account but I cannot cash a check under that name. What do I do now?

First, return the check here:

Click Sales, Inc.
Attn: Paychecks department
917 S Lusk Street
Boise, ID 83706

Then add a note requesting a change to the payee name and we will reissue the check. You will also need to permanently change the payee name in your account. You can do so by logging into admin and updating your payee name. Always keep your account information up to date.

7. I did not receive my paper check. What do I do?

Because mail is occasionally lost or misdirected, we can reissue checks if needed. You can be assured that if a check is listed in green in your stats that the check was mailed. A check reissue is done on regular payout dates only. The check amount will be $20 less than the original check amount so that our bank can place a stop payment on the missing check. To request a check reissue, please send your request through our Publisher/Affiliate Customer Service Form (select "Paycheck Inquiries" for the subject) with the period ending date, the amount, and your ClickBank nickname.

8. I did not receive my direct deposit. What do I do?

Payments that are sent via direct deposit that are returned to us due to invalid banking information are resent to you via paper check. Additionally, your account payment method will be switched to paper check until you provide accurate banking information. You may contact ClickBank Accounting to inquire about the details of your returned direct deposits. Please send your request through our Publisher/Affiliate Customer Service Form with the period ending date, the amount, and your ClickBank nickname.

9. Why haven't I received my first payment?

There are two possible reasons:

You may not have reached your selected payment threshold.
You may not have met the Customer Distribution Requirement.

For more details, please see our Accounting Policy.

10. How do I reconcile the amounts I see in my paycheck report for a particular pay period?

The best way to reconcile the amounts you see in your paycheck report for a particular pay period is to click on the "Reporting" tab, and then click on the link for the pay period you are interested in under the column titled "Period Ending" for the details. For example, if you want details for pay period ending 2007-10-16, then you should click on the link 2007-10-16 under the column titled "Period Ending." By selecting that pay period, you will be taken to the transactional detail for that pay period, and you can sort the information as needed from there.

11. Why isn't Direct Deposit an available payment option in my account?

Direct Deposit is not an available payment option for one of the following reasons:

You have not met the distribution requirements. An account must have first received three paper paychecks within any 12 week period before it is eligible to enroll in direct deposit
You have made an update to your email address or password within the last seven days. If you have made a change to your email address or password you must first wait seven days before changing your payment method.
