I guess we have few days to go and it is Christmas time. I have been here in Mylot for a year now and I think I received 3 minimum payouts here in this site. Not that big but I appreciate it so much. I am a few cents away reaching the next minimum payout. I wonder if it is best not to get our payment and let it accumulate so when Christmas is very near we can have extra bonus spending money, all because of Mylot.

I was planning to do the same thing when I first received my pay from myLot. The problem is I ran out of budget, and the only money left was my myLot earnings. Instead of saving, I transferred it to my Unionbank account. Go ahead, and save your earnings. Please give us an update if you were able to save enough for Christmas. Advance merry Christmas, averygirl72!

That is true, I would like to get that payout early but I guess it is better just to let it sit for a while. That is our problem sometimes we ran out of budget.

Hi averygirl. I have been on mylot for 4 months now and i have got one cashout in the second month though I had reached the minimum payout since the prerequisite to cashout is the minimum cashout balance in the previous month. So yeah. it was more than double which I got for the first time. And now I have a balance which is more than double of minimum cashout but I have kept the limit to $100 so that i can save the mylot money. it is good earning here. i am loving it. Thanks so sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

That is great keeping the limit to $100 means you actually save it for future use. To namiya that is very nice, we might even invest it to something memorable.

Yes, I haven't thought of that before. It is better to withdraw when it is bigger amount. Thanks

It has been one of my plans since I have joined here. I haven't spend any of my payouts yet and although I have originally planned to earn more to spend this Christmas, I am now saving it all for my summer vacation next year. I hope that I will be able to do more here and have something significant to spend. Anyway, I don't mind it that much because like I always say, I am also here for the fun.

Wow! It's nice to know, you are on your way to your third payout. In your total number of post if you depend only posting through response you cannot get that much earnings but if you are active in your participation, comment back to members who leave their response to your discussion you will get that amount you said. It means your activities was high. I remember my first payout, my total number of post was same like what you have now. Before, boosting your earnings was not clear unlike today.

The tasks here in MyLot makes payout quicker but since they are few I just focus on discussions. Hope MyLot will add more tasks.

Well I need some cents too to reach the minimum and get paid the next month. Holidays season is fast approaching so we really have to budget out money and save some. Money that I earned here are still in paypal account and no idea or plan to use it, just saving it there for the meantime.

I haven't been able to do it this year, but it is my ultimate goal to be able to save all of the money that I've made online so that I will be able to use that exclusively for my birthday and Christmas shopping. This year I've had to use the money that I've been making online to buy gas and other things like that, however, it has been something that has been very helpful to us in the long run.

I am trying to make payout as well and it will go towards a concert that randy and I really want to see. The Oak Ridge Boys are coming to town on December 12th and it should be a great show. I am looking forward to seeing the show and if I have any extra money I will use it towards Christmas as well. I know I just set up my Christmas budget and will start shopping in November. I have already bought some crafts that I will be using to make homemade gifts which I will start later on tonight. I try to save as much as I can so I can splurge a little bit when it gets closer to Christmas.

Having some extra money for christmas is certainly a good idea as after all everybody ends up spending a lot of money on christmas shopping and gifts. However I personally always want the payout as earlier as possible.

That is a good idea. We really need money right away and we need to prioritize the important over less important.

I would try to do that but I've already finished most of my Christmas shopping! My next $10+ payment is going straight onto my credit card. I want to have my balance paid off as soon as I can and the extra money I get from Mylot and other sites will help me do it faster!

Only few cents to reach the next? That's good for you. Me, I'm still halfway. I want to receive my next payout on the 15th next month but I know I can't make it.

that's good idea, to save for Christmas, you can buy some gifts and spend as you like, actually i didn't get the idea, but now definitely i am going to save for Christmas, and work more on mylot so that i get good money as well.

Yes, I guess that would be a good idea but for me I have other plans with my mylot earnings because I already have some other regular income from my other online work so I use my mylot earnings for my investments. I don't recommend everyone to do this and this is only a personal preference. Christmas is such a special holiday and for me it's the most special one so it would be best to have some budget to make the celebration most memorable and happiest. Advanced Merry Christmas to all!

Yes, Christmas we can't deny is affected by how much money we are willing to spend. There are so many expenses during Christmas so better have a budget for it.

Initially that's what I also thought. Set a higher minimum payout and leave the money in my paypal account until Christmas. But I changed my mind because I have decided to use the payouts for something useful.

Well that is right, the earnings can be taken early if we really need it at the moment but if you want to use it for future time, it is quite handy too.

I am not minding what I earn here for now because it does go to my Paypal account and I plan to buy gifts for my niece and nephew online. Since they live in the US, it will be impractical for me to try to send the gifts by post. So I am hoping that by December I do have a small amount that I can use to buy them gifts.

Yes, that's a great idea. I guess I have to earn more so that I can use my earnings for Christmas or New Year. It's really fun signing in here everyday so I guess it's not impossible for us to earn money until Christmas. Well, advance Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope we can save enough money for Christmas. It's just once a year so we have to enjoy it. Happy mylotting.

I always try to accumulate as much as I can here at mylot because there is nothing interesting i can buy with $10. I usually try to search for some gadget kind of things or gadget accessory like earphones and stuffs. If I get a decent amount, then probably I am going to buy a decent pair of audiophile earphones that sound really good. Can't wait for Christmas. But during that festive season I generally don't come here online because I like to spend quality time with my family and I feel very lazy to come here and also because I haven't got proper internet connection at my grandfathers'. Also, I believe they put exciting offer here on mylot during the festive season, something like a double payout? Last time I was here ther was something like that going on, like they doubled the payout... That was very interesting, I hope they do something like this year and every year. It will certainly still make mylot a lively place to be during Christmas.

Time passes by where we thought christmas is too far way. another year is nearing its end, well am not that worried knowing that xmas is nearing. but what am worried is getting more and more earnings as time goes by. it's not easy to earn compare to what i did back in the days where I was a much more active mylotter. i hope things will be good for me and earn a big thing before xmas month comes.

I have money saved in pay pal and I am close to my goal so I can get Randy tickets to the Oak Ridge Boys Concert (this is the one big gift he wants). I will be setting up my budget later on this week for Christmas shopping. We need to get the radiator flushed and also the axles fixed first then we can figure out the rest of the budget for Christmas. We are going to ask the mechanic if we can wait until after Christmas to get the axles fixed. I am also working hard to get payout and I think if I spend a lot of time on here the next two weeks I can do it. I am glad that pay pal does not make you cash out after a certain limit.

i will keep my minimum payout setting at $10 because mylot only pays once a month, which means there's only 2 payouts left this year, nov 15th and dec 15th. what if i need the money in between those dates to top up what's already in my paypal account? so i'd rather let the amount in paypal accumulate because transferring from paypal to unionbank eon only takes 2 days should i need the money already (or to help buy or pay for something online). you can make mylot your homepage and use the search function to add to your earnings.
