Can't complain really. I just forgot about the "log in at least once every 90 days" rule while I worked on getting internet back after my recent move. I could have logged on real quick at the library or something but I blew it. Lost about $9. Anybody else get caught by that rule?

Yes this has happend to me, although I was not aware of the 90 day rule. I logged on here the other day for the first time in awhile and it said that I have no earnings. I don't think it is fair doe Mylot to wipe out your earnings for that. People get busy and they go through things in life and they can't always get to the Internet to log in. I understand why they do it though. If they didn't then people would just post a bunch of discussions and then stop participating, then log back in a year later and have all kinds of money. It wouldn't be fair to the people who bust their butts on heredaily tryingto post and reach payout. BUT...I don't think they should take your earnings. I think after 90 days they should just freeze them, so that they will still be in your account, but will stop accumulating until you log back on and participate. I think that is more fair.

I would have been really mad if the payout level was alot higher and I had lost more. Thanks for the response!

I haven't been here all that long to have that happen to me. I usually log in every day at least once, so I can maintain my accont. Now that I have said that, I hope nothing does happen so I can keep coming in here. I find this place to be so soothing, as it helps me forget my problesm, I make friends and get paid for it too. You really can't beat that one bit. I am glad I found mylot, as this is the best place ever. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I enjoy Mylotting too and I know it was my own fault, but hopefully I can help warn others not to leave for too long. Thanks.

Paypal- took your money- or you lost money here on mylot? I don't think I realized that paypal would wipe an account out- really they are like a bank- what would happen to someone who had hundreds of dollars there? Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry if it is a little confusing, but it is just a MyLot thing. I've never had any trouble with PayPal. MyLot is just interested in keeping the people they have interested. The money shown at the top of the screen is a potential reward if you stick with it long enough, not money in the bank, apparantly.

I've only been here little over a week, so no, I haven't had this happen to me. But I'm glad you made this post because I didn't know this rule. I'm hoping to never have to move or have my internet down so hopefully this is something I do not have to worry about.
