How often does MyLot update my earnings?

It seems that I'm missing something; before, it seemed that MyLot updated earnings at a specific time each day, but now that I'm not obsessively on like I used to be, it happens quite infrequently. Take yesterday--I was on MyLot responding to a number of discussions, but I didn't get a reply back (except one and I just answered back). I know part of the algorithm they use to pay us requires an interaction between users, so I'm focusing more on those friends'' discussions lately, but I haven't seen my earnings grow for yesterday's interactions. I'm not trying to cheat the system, just merely trying to understand if something changed. Thanks to all that respond!

Depending on where you are in the US, MyLot time may be an hour or two's difference from yours. They are in Kansas, which, I believe, is Central Time (see the time at the bottom of the page).
It seems that, as of this moment, we can expect an update for Wednesday's activity (midnight to midnight, MyLot time) in about an hour (9:30 am, MyLot time). This is normal: updates can usually be expected for the previous day some time mid-morning (i.e. between 9am and 11am).
Occasionally, especially at weekends, an update may be missed so I can only assume that it is a manually-initiated process, not automatic.

Thank you! I'm in the eastern time zone, so based on what you told me, that update *might* be happening as early as now here, as it's approximately 10:30 am. I really appreciate you giving me such a thorough answer! :)

Normally by 11am or 12 pm they will up date your earnings. Some times it takes them longer if there is a bug or something. Weekends they normally don't up date but some times they do.

We had some glitches earlier this week, but I did not notice that it affected earnings. I see that your questions have been thoroughly answered. I think it is good to review once in a while and see what is happening. When MyLot was a much smaller website they were able to update quicker, it seems. It was almost always at 8;30 MyLot time which is the same time zone I am in. I am glad you got some good answers to your question and I am sure this discussion would be helpful to others with the same kinds of questions.

It is pretty stressful for various reasons. I get plenty of hours for sure. I wish I could work from home.

Yes, it was. I'm not that old but sometimes my brain gets foggy! ;) Happens because of my multiple sclerosis. So how is the new job going?

etween users most of what we earn comes from that known as participation but commenting b ack on my own discussions always seems to make me earn more. yesterday I hit one dollar and seven cents more than I get daily most of this month as I have been sleeping in each morning getting over bronchial pneumonia.

Thank you dear Hatley! I already got my earnings update (now that I had an idea of the time to expect it)! I remember those days of earning $1+ daily, but now that I've got a regular place to be daily (I wouldn't call it a job), I'm not on as often as I like. Could also be related to the fact that I am once again without a computer and forced yet again to use my phone to type responses.
It has to stop. Enough is enough. But I am so glad to hear dear Hatley, that you are on the mend :) Finally a bit of good news in view of these dark skies! I enjoy bantering back and forth but MyLot is definitely NOT the place it was a few years back, when a group of us came together and there was a camaraderie that I've yet to find here. That probably is also because I'm not here as much too.

You are in USA and am sure you have been member of mylot for a long time. As per mylot time (now it is 9.31 am) around 10 am or 11 am mylot earnings will be added. It is done regularly. For 25th earnings will be added in the next hour or so.

Yes Ravi, I have been a member for about five or six? years now, but I forgot just when we got updates. Back in the beginning, we were paid a penny for each comment, so of course I posted a LOT more. Now, I'm lucky if I post one or two comments a day. But thanks for your response--I appreciate it! :)

Hello and welcome to MyLot! I remember when I started how confused I was by how one earned money too. Some days, what I'm looking right at doesn't get comprehended by my brain and I just get a bit flustered. But thanks for your response and good luck working on your first payout!

I am sure other mylotters were able to help you with this topic and had given you reasons why you feel like your earnings were not updated.
Just keep mylotting and I am sure you will see how your earnings grows fast.

Yes, everyone that has responded thus far has been more than helpful. Sometimes your brain just forgets the answer to the question, or as in this case, it was right under my nose but I couldn't see it! Thanks for your response!
