i don't know what is the pin? how can i receive it? to my home address? or to my paypal ID when withdrawing i've filled it? but my home address is a bit wrong, i want to modify it, but it seems that i can't do that before my first pending finished, once i filled wrong home address, then i can't get my payments? i can't just use paypal ID to get my pin number? it that right? Insert some words: once we filled the wrong home address and can't be allowed modify it after first pending finished, if so, i think this is a bad user experience in mircoworkers, actually, why get so much troubles in receiving our PIN number? just through email is not safe? I can't understand it but what's the form of PIN mailing to my home address? Letter to my home directly? go to one of post station nearby? then how long does it take to me? thanks ! plz give more details

hi friend nice to hear someone who is working with Microworkers.PIN is the initial identifier of the person's identity.Microworkers team will send the pin to the individual address and they confirmed whether the person is genuine or not.PIN is mailed to the home address (the one which has given at the time of joining).No u cannot use your Paypal Id to get your PIN.yes of course it is a bad user experience but it is under the company's rules and regulations and we cannot change it. I had also called up for my PIN as i had requested my first payout of $23.95.i had requested on 26th of october but till date i had not received it.i am bit afraid of that.i had working on this website from the past two months and still working with this website.i am agreed with you that this PIN should be emailed to the individual address. happy mylotting

omg, the status of my withdrawing and PIN shows pending and mailed, but i filled wrong address, i know this time i can't get it. i request a change of my home address, but no response, wtf. like this go and back, how long will i get my payments? i've do lots of work here, the next step is receiving my pin, but my home address is wrong, then i want to change it, so sending a request, but no response. then how to continue? there is no need to use home address to receiving the f*cking pin number, so this will identify you are not a genuine? it's too farfetched. we certainly can get it by using our email address, once i get it through email, then i'm a robot,laughable

Well, since you put a wrong address, I guess you cant withdraw your earnings as you cant have pin. Contact support,

to all above i've received my payments twice without providing any pin number, someone here is already told me pin number is not necessary element to get our payments, unless you want to get your money by using check, i think the only benefit for us is this will not ask for the extra fee to them, but it's really a long cycle to me who is far from America, so i would rather give them the bonus fee to reduce the time, besides, paypal has the least fee cost when you withdraw from it

The point of sending a PIN to the members' homes is to ensure that they aren't using multiple accounts. Microworkers doesn't want their members to signup with different email addresses and do the same tasks. Sending PIN to home address will ensure that the member does not have any other accounts and is unique. It would be pointless to have the PIN sent to an email since everyone can most likely create many different emails and pretend they are different people. This is what Microworkers is trying to avoid. Anyway, the PIN is just sent once so when you've submitted the PIN, your next withdrawals will be instant from what I know.

you can have a look at my response above, in fact, i just want to withdraw without providing pin number, it seems to be accessible for us to get our payments without pin, it is said that pin is just to point at check. i can't understand the effect of pin number before, but suddenly given this statement, i am enlightened right now

let it be. you don't need to waiting for your pin number, offical statement sound a bit flurried, at least i've been paid twice without proving pin. pin is just used for check, maybe cheack wouldn't be paid the extra fee to MW, you see, every payments there will cost our bonus fee, it depends on the different way we use to get our payments, it seems paypal is the cheapest way, i used think cheak doesn't need give MW for fee, but it really needs $4.50, so withdraw as possible as you could, so long as you have lots of money under your account, don't worry about your pin, but one has his own pin is always good, who knows the rules there will be changed in another way in the future, even if get paid without pin for now, i still correct my home address for many times in order to get it

What do I do to withdraw my funds without the PIN. I actually have a pending fund right now but it says that I need to enter the PIN. The PIN has been mailed though. How can I just get my money right away without waiting for the PIN to arrive? Thanks!
