Trying to figure out why I lost $0.05.

You lose earnings, too, if discussions you responded to get deleted. If you record your earnings day by day, you will notice that some lose a few cents and others increase by a few. It's likely that, in the last few days, MyLot have been busy with the new Tasks feature so normal 'housekeeping' has fallen behind a bit and they are catching up today. Don't forget what it says at the bottom of the Earnings page: "All amounts are estimates and are subject to change until final payments are made."

Yeah I've had some money going missing from my Mylot account before as well.

hello susanshayavon i noticed a different earnings amount here at Mylot this morning, before the earnings amount changed for the day today, from what that i had in my Mylot account yesterday. lol i did not see a drop in the numbers beside of my screenname, as if something had gotten deleted. i didn't see anything that i had done since last night here at Mylot from this morning for my earnings amount to be different like that. i am really not for certain, but i think that my earnings amount was adjusted by like twenty-seven cents. and i still haven't figured out where that that money went either. lol whatever. btw, did you figure out where that your lost earnings went to? thanks for sharing. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.
