Another Payout Question!!!

United States
September 25, 2008 7:31am CST
Ok, as most of my friends know, I had set my payout for $25.00. Well, today I just changed it back down to the $10.00 minimum payout. So when the payout comes and I am at about $25.00 or so... Will MYLot send me only the $10.00 that I have it set for. Or will MYLot send me all of it. And bring My total balance down to a zero? Does anyone know?

You get everything you earn by the last day of the month no matter what your minimum is set at. You could earn $50 a month with a $10 minimum and you'd get the full $50. Your account won't go back to zero though. On October 1st, your earnings will show your full amount for September but by the time they do payout the earnings amount will show September's earnings combined with what you earned so far in October. On payout day, September's earnings only will be taken out leaving earnings from October 1st until the previous day.

That really confused me when I made my first payout. I thought that myLot had forgotten to cash me out since my money was still there.

Right, it will never read zero...unless of course you don't post at all from the 1st until after payout! How many posts it makes is really tricky to answer. First of all they don't like it when we give to many details and secondly because it varies so much between users depending on quality. The best answer I dare give is to figure out what it takes for you to average 33-34 cents a day, that's the amount you'll need to do everyday to reach $10 every month.

Ok, so.... It keeps adding up until about the 15th of the following month.. then we are cashed out around the 15th for the previous month... so never a Zero balance... How many posts a day does it take to make the 10.00 payout on a monthly basis?

i am new too. this mean that Mylot will automatically credit my paypal account once i reach the minimum payout amount without me instructing it to do so? am i right? if that the case, then it would only be an advantage for me to set the min. payout as low as possible. why would someone want to set it high? to snowball and enjoy a bigger payout in the next few months? i am also wondering what is the highest amount one would get from MYlot? i believed most are paid under $20/-. anyone got any idea if it is possible to get a $50/- or $100/- payout in a single month?

If you make your set minimum amount by the last day of the month myLot adds the amount automatically to your account. This usually occurs on or about the 15th of the following month. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I am still pretty new myself. As I am just now about to make my first payout... But I think it is possible to make like $50.00 in a month if you post and start a LOT of discussions.. and have several referrals under that post a lot also.

You will be sent all you have made up until the last day of this month and you will be paid on or around the 15th of next month....

I am sure others have probably already answered you, but I will add my two cents worth. MyLot will pay you everything in your account, provided you reach the minimum payout you have listed. So, if your minimum is $10 and you earn $24.99 you will get $24.99 and start all over from $0 after that. You just guarantee that you are getting everything there by setting the lower payout. It is really to your advantage to move it over every month, if you set your Pay Pal as Money Market. Then you earn a few cents interest on that same money.

PayPal runs a little different than an actual bank would, I like it better. All that I can see is that it pays me a little bit of interest on my average balance every month. I guess maybe if a person was completely emptying their Pay Pal every month, it would not matter, but I use mine seldom, and so I always have a balance. It is the best place for me to save money as I do not even realize it is there half of the time. I believe there is a tab for it in Pay Pal.

MyLot will pay you anything above the $10 payout rate. If your payout rate is back to $10 and you earn $40 in one month, you will be paid the $40. This is if the amount is a total of $40 the night of the last day of the month. I increased mine to $25 so I haven't had a payout since July. October payment will be a nice amount.

It will come in handy I am sure! I had it set at the $25.00 now I have moved it back tot he $10.00. I like the idea of the PayPal Money Market account. Collecting interest! So I am going to check in that a bit more! I would love to know if some are making $40.00 a month every month here at MYLot, I would think that they have a lot of good referrals !!

[i]Hi Louise, I guess it will be send out to you, whatever you will earn until the 30th...Then the money you will earn from the 1st of the month until 15th will be your balance for the next month! In my case, I always set it to $10![/i]

Yes, I set mine back to $10.00 also it is just so much more obtainable!

Hi Louise, Whatever amount over the $10 you have accumulated up to the end of the month will be paid so if it is $18 you will receive $18 but until the payout day it will still kepp rising so may go up as high as $27 but you will only be paid the $18 that was up to the last day of the month and the other $9 will be a great start towards the next payout. Hope that made sense. Ellie :D

It does make sense! Thanks so much! I am guessing that there are some on here that are very fast typist that make at least $30.00-$40.00 a month.. not me!LOL

I think they will give you whatever amount you had the last day of the month, if you had 25.00, by the last day of the month, thats what you will get. I know on the last payout, I had 15.44 on the last day, and after starting a new month it was still on my earnings and I think I had 16 something dollars when they put the 15.44 on my paypal account. So I must of had 15.44 on the last day of the month and that's what they gave me. If that didn't confuse you, sounds like I'm just babbling..lol.

Hey louise! No they will send you all of it that you have made for the month of September. The minimum amount is only there for you in case you would have only made $10 and not more than that. Some people like to test themselves or don't want to be bothered with just a $10 payout. I keep mine set at $10. I always go over that amount, but still keep it set there. You can make $25 and mylot will still pay you $25. The minimum is just there for you to gage yourself. Mylot will not pay less than $10 in any given payout. So don't worry, you will be getting whatever amount that you have earned for the month of September or however long since you haven't been paid. I have been paid twice so far which means I have made payout each month since I started here in July. This will be my third payout and they all have been over the $10 minimum.

You will get paid the $10 plus anything after that you made for that month. So if you made $15.00 you will get paid that. You can change your mind until the end of the month. You will also get paid on or around the 15th of that month. Yes I know about setting the payment too high and not making it. I did that. So I set mine back to $10 as well. It is much easier getting paid once a month then waiting for two. And it is hard to make more than the minimum payment when you are working at a job, and doing other things at the same time and cannot get on myLot as often as you want and cannot think of good things to write about.

So true. I have been at a loss several times of what to write about. yes, I had to change it back tot he $10.00 I was getting good advice about the PayPal account and saving my money there!

They will send you hte full amount you have earned up to that day. That will zero out your account and you will start over. That is why I have mine at $10. I should be able to make payout by the end of the month. I'm only .37 away from that. Hope that helped.

You keep answering all my discussions and you should not have any troubles making payout at all! I reset mine back to the 10.00 payout it is just much easier to get to.
