I just checked mine because it just looked strange. Sure enough, I had lost about $.40 cents. I have no idea why and as far as I can remember I didn't post anything bad or respond to discussions that I felt might get removed. I wish that there was some way to find out what is going on because this is simply happening to too many of us in the same day.

I lost 41 cents yesterday. I was 3 cents away from payout when they docked my earnings. I don't know what happened either. I don't think I broke any rules or anything and can't see where they deleted any discussions I replied to or started.

Just as I thought I did ot make payout because of them taking that 41 cents away yesterday!!! I really needed payout this month too. Oh well next payout should be really good if they don't keep docking me.

you can ask admin for that, i think, but don't use the contact form, it dosn't work, just e-mail them and see what they will say about that, it's not a small problem, just the question of 50 cents, it might affect your earnings in the future, right?

There was a post I saw before that explained that MyLot had made a mistake yesterday and over payed some people and that was why the reduction in pay when they came back on here to check it out . It doesn't mean you did anything wrong as it was a glitch in the system .

hi maumbi. my earnings went down,too yesterday. i e-mailed mylot and i got this reply from them.
We had a slight problem with the earnings updating yesterday. Some users were paid more than they should have been. We fixed the glitch and some users saw a decrease in their earnings. We apologize for the inconvenience. Let us know if you have any questions.
myLot Staff
i hope this clears everything.

I see similar posts to this at the end of every month. Here is my best explaination of what happens:
Near the end of the month, myLot goes through and deletes the discussions that do not follow the guidelines. If you started one of those discussions, or even if you only replied to one that got deleted, you will lose the earnings from that post. Additionally, if a member got banned for breaking the rules, all of their discussions and responses would be deleted, even the valid ones. So you could lose money if you had replied to one of those in that month.
Your earnings are only an estimate until the cutoff date has passed. As of today (May 1), your earnings for the month of April should now be "fixed" and that is what you would be paid by the 15th of this month.
Sometimes, you will have your earning go up at the end of the month as the money from deleted discussions is redistrubited among the members, but people don't notice this as much as a reduciton in earnings, so it is commented on less.
Hope this helps.

Well what you should do is first go over the do's and don'ts s you know when you are out of line. I know you can't include links in your postings or you will lose revenue. Maybe there are other things you are doing that you are not aware of. Seek help for clarification of the rules. When I first started there were alerts that came in to let me know some of the don'ts. Good luck.

no.. first of all.. they've emailed me.. and they told me that they will recalculate the earnign every 3 days.. so i think that's why.. you have to remember.. your earnings are just estimation.. i lost $0.9 .. and even though i feel pain about it.. i think it's still acceptable.. since i've been earning more than that.. my aim is to earn $1+ daily.. and yes.. i'm getting that daily... they didn't cut your earning.. they did mention that all earnings are based on estimation.. now that they have recalculate your earnings.. you have to accept it.. sometimes you post in the wrong discussion.. that's also a problem =)

ive lost about $0.05 cents this morning.. before this, i lost about $0.40. i think mylot should give some reason on why this kind of thing is happening.

Weird, I didn't know that they would do that if you break a rule. Well, I think that you should contact MyLot. Not to get $0.5 back, but to get informed and make sure that it won't happen to you again.

yes sometimes earnings decrease and sometime they increase. Also sometimes MyLot deletes a lot of discussions. But at the end the result is: an on time payment from MyLot!

I know that happened to me yesterday too!! Same amounts even!! I was very close to payout too and now I don't expect to get payout at all!! I was very miffed when I came back on and seen they had cut 50 cents off of my total that close to payout.

Yes, I also lost $ 0.11. I checked my earnings in the morning. When I came back again in the afternoon, my earning has been cut to $ 0.11. I just don't know what is going on.

I can relate my earings went down 27 cents today, I am starting to get discouraged because earning are adding on slowly and now they are taking from what is earned. I do not under stand their system why dont they have a structure listed on this site. I think I am wasting my time.I think if you have an email address or contact number for mylot then you sould contact them. It is about principal you work hard for that 50 cents. How is earning gained or lost?
