My earnings are increasing every hour or so...what's going on? Is this happening to anyone else? Is it something to do with payout? It's getting close to payout time.

I just responded to someone else discussion about this. It seems that Crash posted a discussion, I didn't know about it. He said payday is close so mylot is adjusting everyones earnings. When they have to delete someones discussion, they then take that money and give it to all of us. I hadn't noticed anything but now that there has been talk about it, I have noticed a difference. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1470826.aspx Here is the link to Crash's discussion.

Someone else posted a link to Crash's discussion just above here Polly. As for other posts about this...usually I check first rather than just post but I've noticed no-one else does this for the most part. I had at least 20 email alerts from people saying they were not receiving email alerts and on the bottom every page is a group of similar discussions, so I won't be checking in future for other discussions already posted.

oh that is interesting, I did not know that they divided that others money amongst us all... I wonder if it is just amongst those others who were in on the same discussion or all of mylot's members (even the inactive)

They're just adjusting their payouts, they do this every month. Mine went way up and then it went down. I would guess that they're running their algorithms. That's why I don't say anything about the pay rate on this site because there really is no set pay rate. Also, it's listed in the guidelines not to talk about it, more or less, in so many words.

Mine has gone up a bit as well a few times in the last hour. It's nice to see. When I checked it showed that the earnings for last month had gone up. At last check it had gone up $0.57, always nice to see This usually happens near payout time. I've noticed it before in the past that the amounts fluctuate a bit at this time. That's one reason they always say: "All amounts are estimates and are subject to change until final payments are made."

That I don't know. Might have to do with activity level, quality of discussions, ratings...your guess is as good as mine. I can't say why some get it and some don't.

I was gone all day today and just now getting on to the computer. I was so surprised by my earnings total! I was confused because there was no way what I posted yesterday would have amounted to that much increase.... but it seems that it was last months total that increased significantly. I won't complain, that's for sure!

I'm not complaining either mate...bring it on... if it happened each month I wouldn't mention it but this is a first foe me and I've been here about a year I think.

i heard something in a post about the forfeited profits going to the people who are getting paid.so that is probably what you are experiencing they are saying they are going to do this every month now so that it all goes back into the site. thank you for reading my response and i hope it helps.

Mine jumped up in big bits and my payout was a lovely surprise. I wonder why it happens for some and not others?Maybe it depends on the posts you respond to or maybe it balances out for everyone over a period of time. ??

Mine were the same my friend and I was waiting for them to plummet again, but I came across a discussion from Crash, which I checked out, and which I thought was about the most helpful thing Mylot have done since I've been a member. Here is the discussion link, if you would like to check it out... it explains everything about pay adjustment. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1470826.aspx Brightest Blessings, my dear friend.

I have not been keeping track of mines as it is too infuriating but I have seen a few discussion posted about how the numbers keep going up and then a few hours later back down again.

It is not difficult to sleep an afternoon nap for those, who use to get up early in the morning. The people who get up late in the morning can not sleep at afternoon. You know getting up early in the morning makes a person healthy, wealth and wise. So we should try our best to wake up early in the morning and we should complete the balance of our sleep at afternoon

Congratulation. This is good news. You got an active referral I think. You are getting percentage in result of work of your referrals. You are doing well. This incentive will cause to earn as much as you desire. Wish you best of lucks.

I have 12 referrals and none of them are active. So it's not that. I think it happened for a lot of reasons. I've heard others mention it over the months so it must be something that happens over a period of time. Thanks for the good wishes...same to you.

Hello MsTickle, I know that this discussion has been around for 4 weeks or so, but for this month's payout, my earnings are quite steadily increasing but not by the hour anyway. I think it is quite weird like the one you said and perhaps your theory is right.

I am usually on in the morning when earnings update and I have noticed that the hour before this happens my earnings go up and down right along with my number of posts. I figured it just had something to do with system maintenance.

Yeppers, I notice that too. My user rating goes down one or two points and my earnings go up a few cents at a time. But this was during the day and my earnings jumped twice. WooHoo!

I haven't noticed anything like that. It still says that it was updated 11 hours ago. I did get a larger sum than average for my activity yesterday, but that's the only difference I've noticed.

I'm having the same thing happen. I've jumped about 13 cents in the past 4 hours. I thought perhaps MYlot had institued some sort of hourly update thing, but it still shows as being updated 14 hours again...I'm just waiting for the amount to drop again

Mine jumped a couple of times during the day while still showing the midnight change. All up, it increased by $1.20. I've seen where others have mentioned this sort of thing but mine has never jumped like this...YAY ME!

I keep track of my user rating number, and amount earned every day so I notice these things. I don't do big numbers of anything. I do a lot of commenting to my posts and I respond to about 10 -15 posts a day on a good day. Some have mentioned that it hasn't happened for them. It may be something that balances out over time.

Beats the heck out of me MsTickle! LOL You're the second person to have mentioned this going on and I just returned here so I'm not sure what's going on because earlier today mine was adding up too. Weird. COOL! But weird.
