You can now define your own check minimum for the payment of your referral fees. Many international Associates have requested this feature since we launched monthly payments last month. The minimum check threshold of GBP 50 still applies to all Associates but many have requested higher thresholds. When you input your threshold, we simply hold your payment until your earnings have reached that amount.
If you have selected to be paid by check, enter your desired threshold (as a whole number without decimal points or commas), click on the Save Changes button, and you are ready to go.
The check threshold can be set and seen on Associates Central >> Your Account >> Change Your Payment Method

Please note that you can change your threshold at any time but it must be submitted by the first day of the payment month to be effective. For example, if you would like to raise your threshold to GBP 300, it must be entered by March 1st to be effective for January earnings paid in March. If you change your threshold to GBP 300 on March 15th, it will be effective for February earnings paid in April.
This feature is only available for checks. The GBP 10 minimum for direct deposits and Amazon.co.uk gift certificates still apply for all Associates.
Another good feature for international Associates:
If you or your company is based abroad you now have an additional option for receiving payment of referral fees. Amazon.co.uk will also transfer the money to a foreign bank account. See also our recent blog-posting:
