no payment, I sent them another email and they replied this time

"Hello,

We're having issues with our PayPal account and are working on resolving the issue, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Currently we can only pay our affiliates with bank transfers, for amounts bigger than $1000.
Please set your payment info to “wire transfer” (in My account->Edit account->Payment info) and we'll wire the money on the 15th of next month.

Kind Regards,
Jane"

Same old crap, I sent them another question regarding those of us who are owed less than that, no answer...
 
Hotfile said that we need to enter this info in (Payment Info) Wire: - your name and address (country and city) - your bank name and address (country and city) - your account number and swift Also, to receive a wire transfer, you need to have at least $1000 in your account.

Unfortunately I don't work with HF any more and just had around 150$ in my account for some old files which still generate some traffic. BUT: HF is shaving my old earnings and now from the 150$ just about 40$ left in my account without any payout :facepalm:
With other hosts I'm making about half of that in total, but it's just a hobby for me so quite OK ;)
 
My payment is through paypal.. I sent a complaint, and they said they were having issues with payments through webmoney, and some other payment option I do not use.. Then they went on to the $1,000 payment minimum explanation...

The $1,000 payment minimum, is a way for them to virtually eliminate having to pay thousands and thousands of users.. Avoiding paying thousands of users with $15 to $100 dollars in their account, will make hotfile a hefty profit.. Who trust them to actually still be running and paying, to wait around and accumulate $1,000 dollars, in hopes they will actually be paid when the time comes..

They are done......
