Take a glance at your Earnings Summary page, below the last line of $ info. Do you like what you see? I was surprised, but elated to learn I am at threshold...

I don't think there's any harm in it, as payment seems to be automatic here, but I agree with @Ladyduck. $3 seems like reasonable compromise that will not affect active people, but should inspire newbies and occasional visitors.

I think $3 would be a sensible monthly earnings target to make payout by the end of the month too.

@sugartoes Certainly more achievable than the $10 threshold, in a month.

@pgntwo We'll see what they decide to do after April.

I have read the discussion posted by Alex, this is a sort of experiment. I would have not lowered so much the minimum payout, may be to 3$, but not less.

@pgntwo Yes, we will know more after the first test. Let's hope not to have problems.

Meh... Not that big of a deal, if you ask me. (But I did think most people were hitting payout about once every two months or so, until PA told me she hadn't made payout once since myLot started paying again!)

@pgntwo Three and a half months to reach payout, pgn? You are almost as slow as PA! OMG! I honestly had no clue anyone was taking that long to reach payout! Wait a minute! You have almost as many numbers after your name as I do and I know I have hit payout every month except my very first one! How does that work out?

About once every 14 weeks or thereabouts at $10.00, at my rate of interaction...

I had been away for a while so was quite happy when I realised that I will get paid next month regardless. Okay, $3 won't get me too far but it's better than nothing!

@euphie That's a good idea, didn't know that was possible.

@pgntwo I don't think I'll have $3 then but even $1 will go towards something with PayPal I'm sure. I normally use Paypal balances for McDonald's coffees when I'm in Dublin lol

@Marcyaz I've added a screenshot to clarify - but perhaps you already read Admin's post about it, and it's moot...

I went over the $2 mark yesterday. it would ordinarily take me 5 - 6 months to make payout so I'm happy, even though it's a minimum amount.

Guaranteed pay out this month if your balance exceeds $1.00 yaaay!

I believe that they are trying to widen their market.

I read admin's advisement as soon as it came up so I wasn't surprised. The reduced amount seems a bit extreme, but hey, I'm happy to learn I'll have a payout coming next as well...

I'm not all that happy about it. I hope they don't wear themselves out. I would prefer this to be for newbies only. The rest of us know that they pay and are honest. We don't need convincing. $10.00 does not motivate me, less sure wouldn't either.

Last month I fell short of the minimum payout. I just reached $10.00 this week so March was good. If I have time I will write here. If I don't I stay away.

Nice to know that next month will pay you as well, if you can get to a dollar before 30-Apr.
