it's more than 21 days already from the day i requested my payout from microworkers and up until now i did not received their payment and i did not receive the pin which they are going to send to my email address once i made my first payout request. because it's already more than 21 days, i requested a new pin and i was surprised because they deducted $2 from my earnings.
How about you fellow mylotters? what is your experience with them?
i really don't like what i am experiencing now.

First off, they don't send the PIN by email - it's by snail mail, so it takes a while to arrive. That's REALLY unclear on the site. Depending on where you are in the world, it can take a couple of weeks for the letter to land.
They won't send money until the PIN is entered, so that's not a surprise. If you have entered the PIN and have been waiting 21 days, that's not good. To be honest, Microworkers has gone downhill since the original owners moved on. I don't even request payout any more - I use the money I get on there to fund campaigns to build other income.

really. i just learned that today. they said that if i cannot receive the pin within 21 days that the date of request, i need to request another one. so what i did i requested another new pin from them, but after i press the request button i noticed that it would cost me $2.
because of that, o lost my motivation to keep on doing it. $2 is already a considerable amount of money. i really don't like it if that is the kind of their service.
can we use our earnings to make a campaign with them? how do it? i tried it once but they asked me to deposit for my campaigns.

I've just joined microworkers so I don't know yet whether they'll pay me or not, but I'll just see when I reach payment. Otherwise I'll also use my balance for promotion purposes. I do find it strange that they're making it so difficult to payout: entering a PIN by post? What century are we in...?

i don't think you can use your balance for promotion. i tried it once but i did not work.
i think they are paying, because i know many members who are paid by them. what i don't like is their kind of service.

I can not remember the exact period when I collected my pins.
You can check the FAQ column to get you answer.
I am sure you need to wait for a bit longer, probably around 30days.
The rules will be changed from time to time.
At that time when I requested for my pin numbers, I had not learned about the rule of charging $2.00 for requesting the pin numbers again.
For me, I have collected my 6th payment. I did manage to cash out my payment consistently during my past 6 months.
Now I need another $0.40 to approach my 7th payment at $9.60.
But this coming 7th payment takes me for about 1.5 months or more.
You should write to the admin to seek their advise.

I do not think you receive the pin from them through email. You get it through post. I received my after about 3 weeks from the date that i requested it. I entered the pin and was paid the next day.
But i was disappointed that they removed paypal and nowadays there are less jobs.

really! i don't know why they should send the pin at home while it is more convenient if they are going to send it to our email address.

if that would be the case, we need patience. waiting for more than 21 days is very long already. because of that i requested another new pin, and i did not know, it's $2 for requesting another pin.

I have just signed up with them recently and so I have no idea. Actually, I am now rather weary of such websites.

before, you can earn more from microworkers if you refer someone to their site. but now you cannot.
you only earn alone for doing the task. i'm sure they are paying but i think you really need patience at first especially waiting for the pin for you to be paid by them. i don't know why they still need the pin for us to be paid by them.

I cashed out from them one time and they sent me my pin number to my home address, not my email address. It may take a while for your pin since you are outside of the U.S. They did pay me also. i am getting ready to cash more money out again in a couple of days.

They do pay,after 30 after i place my first withdraw.They send out a pin through the mail.At first i thought it would come to my email address,so i wait the full 30days an nothing happen.so i start to ask my friend who is active their,an she ask if i receive my pin.after waiting for 33 days,my pin finally arrives. and after entering my pin,2 days later i have been paid.
So you will just have to wait till you get the pin,it will take a while depends on where you live.I live in Jamaica and it take almost a month to get here,so it's a legit an paying site good luck an your earnings.

yeah. i know that they pay but it is more than two months already and there's no pin.
so i can't cash out my money and for me to use my balance i need to fund my account.

I have excellent experience with Microworkers. It is my second favorite site with Mylot of course being my all time favorite of all on the web!!!
Anyways, back to Microworkers. I remember it took 3 or 4 weeks for me to get my pin in the mail. You should not have asked for another. I guess they thought you misplaced it or something. I remember thinking it wasn't going to come cause it took a while, but I had also read that it would take awhile, so I didn't say anything to admin about it. It does take awhile. You will get. Just have to be patient, unfortunately. Good luck. Do well!

i really should not ask for another pin, i should ask you before requesting another pin. it's my bad. i didn't know that they are going to send it at home and not to my email address.
since i requested another pin, so i think i will another three to four weeks for that. is it?

This is very frustrating for me as well. I requested my first payment/pin July 22 and still have not received it. I really hope that they pay us. Now I've reached a balance over $50 and like all of us want to receive my money for the work i've done. Microworkers could be a good site as long as they pay. We've done the work and deserve the money. I hope you receive your pin soon. I will let you know if I receive mine soon.

good, it's great dominique25 that you were able to reach $50. i lost my motivation for doing it. i hope your pin soon.
waflay, it's good to know your pin arrived at the time you lost your hope. i think our patience has its limitation. that's a blessing maybe your patience is being tested.

I got the PIN from Microworkers within 21 days, depending upon the country in which you are living, it can delayed. They do not send the PIN on your email (I think you have some confusion over this) they send it on your Mail address. You should have waited. Instead of waiting you requested another PIN. I think they have deducted the amount because you requested twice.
Wait for your PIN, it will reach you soon

yeah it is. it is very difficult to reach $2 in a day. i haven't tried to reach it.
i think i have a problem with my home address? do you know how to change the information of my home address?

yeah, really. i was wondering why i haven't received my pin in my email account. i now understand that they are going to send it to my home address.
they deducted $2 to my earnings for requesting another pin. my $2 flies away in an instant. i earned it for doing some task for few days and went gone in an instant.

Why microworkers prefer to send your pin via snailmail? Sounds fishy. Since we are in a modern world then they should send it via email even if we wait for 3-5 days its quite acceptable.

i'm back! i think, it would best that they will just send it to our email address than through a snail mail. i don't understand them. it is already more than a month an i still don't have my pin.

i just received also my pin. i waited for almost four months. maybe because my place is too far from them.
