What do you guys look for in a good affiliate program? Obviously timely competitive payouts are a givin.

But what else do you look for, I would like to hear your thoughts.

What do I look for:

* Clear/understandable reporting interface
* Either access to a rep by phone or chat. (Email is a givin)
* Incentive programs
* $$$
