I recently received my first consolidated check from Linkshare, who up until now has sent out individual checks for each merchant that affiliates earned commissions from. The check arrived with no information about what merchant's commissions made up the payment, and no report could be readily found to derive such information. When I asked emailed Linkshare, they gave me the following directions to obtain such a report: "The payment report is only available now through Beta Synergy Analytics. Great, this works. Wouldn't it just be easier to give details on the check stub? Or make this report available under the "payment reports" link on the main console? I love the idea of consolidated check or direct deposit, but let's make it easy to do the accounting work guys! This reminds me of the daily frustration of getting individual checks from BeFree and having to write the merchant's name on the check stub, because the only place the name exists is on the check and that goes to the bank. Little things like this could pay of big for the networks by enabling affiliates to focus more time on earning more commissions and less time on non-commissionable accounting tasks.
