First time Mylot payment - I am very concerned

I have no idea what is going on with my pending payment. I just noticed today when I go to my earnings page I see a message at the bottom that says "Congratulations you have earned enough to qualify for April's payment". So I click on the "Payment History" tab...it says my pending earnings are only $4.96! How is it possible when minimum payout is $10 ?? My account balance is $28.71, $23.75 is from tasks and when I add $4.96 to it, BINGO it equals $28.71. So I guess I am not getting paid for my tasks??? I am very upset if this is the case...and I will definitely leave Mylot . I hope the answer is something simple like task payments will update the last day of the month. I contacted Mylot admin, so I will see what they say. Anyone else who did tasks have this problem? Check your pending earnings and see.

It also says: 'All amounts are estimates and are subject to change until final payments are made.' When were the tasks added to your account? It sometimes takes a couple of says for them to be added to the total. Both tasks and discussions will be added together (as already has happened in my earnings) and you will receive the total amount. By the way this will be deleted as it is an issue that should be discussed with myLot and not in a discussion as stated in the Guidelines.

I had a feeling this discussion was probably breaking some sort of TOS. I just wanted to get a reassuring answer from someone who did a task and was credited in their pending payment. (Or maybe its not so reassuring in my case) Some tasks I have done were completed and approved over 1 week ago. A few others were approved today. I still have some tasks pending, but am not concerned about those. I was hoping the approved ones would at least go through to my pending payment. All tasks that were approved have went straight to my earnings total, just not in the pending payment yet. Thanks for the information and hopefully it is just the fact that the month is not over yet and my payment is yet to be processed.

Tomorrow I am willing to bet that the total will be the entire amount. Then adjustments are made until final payments are made as deletions take place regularly and not only until the end of the month.

WOW! Never mind I rechecked and Mylot fixed my problem right away, I was not expecting that! I feel silly now for starting this discussion, guess I panicked a little since I have never received a payment from them and didn't know for sure how reliable it was.

I have not done any tasks so I cannot answer that for you. Perhaps they pay the tasks out on a different basis than participation? It's also strange that you have a "pending payment" notice and I didn't get one and I've met the payment amount for this month. Dunno what to tell ya.

Your earnings from discussions that you have participated are probably different from the ones that you have got for doing the tasks. I imagine that My Lot considers you have enough for a payout in the middle of April. Your earnings if not finalized already will be by the time of your My Lot payment. Good luck.

maybe that's a carry over from last month? I'm pretty certain that I'm getting paid this month for the discussions and the tasks I participated on because that's what my total amount of earnings reflects. I guess we'd have to wait until payday in order to know for certain! Thanks for the response on my discussion!
