I don't think that there is any minimum to the payout and that's why you can't find it. If you write an article and are offered up front payment for it, then once the article is accepted and you have accepted the amount, it usually takes a day or so to be deposited in your PayPal account. As for performance views those are usually made sometime between the 10th and 15th of each month for the previous months views.

The minimum payout for performance bonus is, I think, $1.50 and they pay on or around the 10th of the month (usually the first business day following). As for article bids, those usually go through about two to three days after you accept a bid. You should get an email from PayPal saying you've received a payment from Associated Content. This should help clear up the PPM bonus a little: http://www.associatedcontent.com/resources_performancepay.shtml

Associated Content pays you a couple days after your article is accepted. So if they accept an article you wrote for upfront payment you should get the money within a couple of days. You usually get page view money once a month, I believe on the second wednesday of every month. I have been a member at this site for years and have always been paid.
