How Do You Cashout? Wait or Asap?

I used to always cash out as soon as I could. I was too afraid to let the money build up just in case the site disapeared. That was when I first started in ptc's. Now there are certain sites that have proven themselves reliable that I let the cash build up. I like getting larger payments versus the smaller 2.00 for example. I only do this with the sites that have already paid me several times and have been around for a while. The newer sites or the sites I just joined I always hit that cash out button asap. How do you do yours? Do you let your amount build up or are you clicking that button as soon as you reach cash out? Have you ever let money stay in there too long and then bam the site closed up? I'm excited to hear how you do things. Looking forward to all responses.

For me, it really depends on the site. I'm letting my balance build up on several of my sites right now. They're all sites that have fairly high minimum amounts--$10 to $30--but which I know are reliable and will pay. I'm planning to let my balances grow there for the next several months and cash out in mid-January to early February so I can have the money by the time my daughter's born. With the other sites I'm a member of, it goes either way. If it's a newer site or one I've never been paid by before, I usually request a payment as soon as I can just so I know it's worth continuing there. After I receive my first payment, I may choose to wait depending on what the minimum is. With sites like NeoBux, where the minimum increases incrementally, I'd definitely prefer to wait a bit longer to cash out so I can have a higher amount. I've been really lucky so far--I've never requested a payment from a site and not received it. I guess being really picky about the sites I join is a good thing...

I do the same you do and I think it´s just plain common sense. I have my favorite sites that have paid me for a long time and those I let the money grow. As for the others, I ask for cashout ASAP. Many times I am not quick enough and I get scammed. I had a wonderful site that turned into a scam and I had big money there. But I also got more money that I thought of the site so I don´t mind. Happy posting!

I prefer to cash out as soon as I can so that it will safer for my earnings. unlike you build it up on the site. As of today you never know which site will be closed without any warning to their users. I'm afraid that I will build my earnings up and then at the end they will never pay the amount I've earned. I'm just wondering, do mylot cashout as soon as you reach payout? or it will wait at the end of the month before it pays.? I have no doubt at mylot coz this site really pays me.

I belong to a bunch of different sites. I usually cash out once a month as long as I meet the required payout. I don't like to keep the money in there for long because you never know how long any of these sites will be around.

well i have not yet got paid from anyone . but hope to get paid soon . i am hoping a lot from mylot so i wouldnt rush in getting the payment asap . i will wait and make it a big one and then hit for the payment . getting a lot money at a time exites me rather than taking pennies from time to time .

I also cashout as soon as I can. See, once the money are on my Paypal they cannot take them back and that's safer online, while letting them build up you never know if the site disappears or I disappear, who knows. I prefer to let them build up into my paypal!

For me it's different on every website that I earn money on. For the ones that payout is at $20, I typically cash out right around $20 or $25. If it's a site with a low limit or not limit at all, I usually let it reach at least $10 before I cash out.

I belong to a few sites and when I meet the payout amount then I cashout. It takes about two weeks to get paid from all the sites I belong to.
