Sad that I have to explain myself as a Jew but here goes:
Monday was what is called an Erev Hag. All Jewish holidays start at sunset and in Israel it is customary to not work Erev Hag. So, on the 20th we were all on vacation.
What I LOVE about Israel is that you don’t have to be religious to be Jewish. We had an awesome time hiking yesterday with three other families and are not required to spend the two days in a Beit Knesset or at work.
Now onto payments:
We are paying affiliates through our new affiliate system for the last few months, which is basically a dedicated casino for affiliates that allows us to cash out all affiliate payments in one go. Unfortunately, certain payments didn’t go through for various reasons, most of them technical, (but the majority did go through on time) and we have been fighting with our Finance department to get these outstanding payments made without delay. I do apologize about this and promise that it isn’t something we are excited about either.
If you are in the US it is risky paying you by check and if the check isn’t cashed it needs to be returned because it is the equivalent of cash, i.e. it’s a bank check, i.e. cash. Until the check is returned we can’t issue a second payment.
I will not apologize for having more Jewish holidays around our next payment but we will do everything we can to ensure payments are not delayed.
In closing I’d like to add that we always give the highest respect to our affiliates and we expect no less than that in return. Unless you think things work differently… if so, please explain yourself.
