"Effective June 1, 2004, For Professional accounts we are charging a monthly fee of $5 dollars. However, the per transaction processing fee of 2.5% plus $.30 for every transaction received into your account. Will change to 2.4% plus $.30 cents. We automatically calculate and display these transaction fees before you receive the money, so you'll always know the cost in advance."
From the Paydirect FAQ:

although all good things do come to an end, at least this may be a much cheaper way to get 1000 miles into your account that having to pay the airline $30 to buy them.
Why do marketers CARE that we get miles and then make up fees to make us have to pay for them like in paydirect?
Because they suck.
anyway, it would have gone on longer had people been smart enough to only promote a 3 way transfer... you to brother, brother to sistser, sister to you... something like that.
oh well.
