Amazon affiliate earnings are paid out monthly. You will receive your payment approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which you earned the commissions. For example, if you earn money in January, you will get paid at the end of March. You can choose different payment methods such as direct deposit or cheque. However, Amazon requires a minimum payout threshold. You must earn at least $10 for direct deposit or gift card payments. For cheque payments, the minimum is $100. Always check your account to ensure you meet these requirements for timely payments.
