I can't understand why so many people are "complaining" (I just couldn't put my finger on a better word at right at the moment) about a wait time of 3 weeks for paypal and/or checks.

This ISN'T saying that YOU were complaining, txenakis*
There have been numerous posts - not just lately, either - about people thinking this is too long to wait for payment, or that it's a LONG time to wait for payment.
MOST sites have a 4 to 8 week wait, some have an even longer time frame. The sites usually say "Allow x to x weeks" or "Allow up to x weeks" or "Most payments are generally received in x weeks, but allow up to x weeks". (Some of the sites do payouts in gift cards or amazon codes, and some of those even have that long of a wait)
From my experience, it's generally AT LEAST 6 weeks before I see my $$, and many take closer to 8 weeks to receive.
I had one site that took this long to get me a check:
My payment request date was July 8, 2011. I finally received a check on October 17, 2011.
I believe that puts it at over 14 weeks that I waited for payment.
So in comparison, 3 weeks
max FC wait time seems reasonable, and IMO- it's relatively short.
Should PayPal be a faster way to receive your money?? I don't know...maybe.
But at least here at FC you KNOW that if you put your request in by the end of one month, you'll have your payment by the 20th of the next month.
It's the only site I know of that gives you an actual date you will receive payment by; the others are "Wonder if I'll get my check/PayPal credit today" (or more like "God I HOPE I get that damn money from xxxxxx pretty soon!")
I think FC does pretty well by us when it comes to getting us the money/FREE bonuses we earn here.
JMHO!!
