Here is a message from a ptc admin on how he does payouts. As you can see, premium memberships does not matter. This is good since its first come first served, that sounds fair. But I ask you, why even pay for premium membership? The only benefit is more ads it seems.
-----------------------
I will explain it to you now. Each time, we open our admin panel, there is a list of thousands of requested payments ordered in a completely RANDOM order. It doesnt depend from the time you have submitted your request or if you are a premium member or a not, it is just random.
To save as much time as possible, we just take the payments as we see them. Sure that we could order them by date or by premium membership, but after each refresh the list is again ordered randomly, so it would take a lot of our precious time. We just want to make as many payments as possible and we dont care who we pay, we just want to pay you all!

I think they have taken that stand as a result massive payout request in thier database and to speed things up and satisfy more members, thay are doing that to issue payments as many as possible. If they sort it out, it surely will drop issued payouts per minute and they don't want more unhappy costumers. But I see this as a temporary thing. Once they have thier new payment system up whixh they said is 3X faster, they will surely go back to thier normal terms of priority first to premiums in payment.
That message should not be taken out of context as you can see they doing some revision in terms as they are in transistion with thier mysql scripts which are buggy as of the moment...

Well said lejandro!! I did take the message out of context, wanted to see if others were paying attention. 
However, I was using this site as an example for all sites. I really think the other sites are doing this too. Some are even deleting payouts. I waited 2 weeks one time for a payout, with premium membership. Bottom line, it must be first come first served. Coffeebreak made a very good point. If premium membership pays for itself within the month, its a good investment. Thats all I wanted to make everyone aware.

Is it CrewBux that was casually mentioned?
And I seem to read something about what you said being taken out of context?

Thank you sergeantrom. That is good info.
I feel like rushing to buy referrals at that site now.
The admin sounds like he wants everyone get paid. No scam! which is rare in this business!
