When do we get paid for HP Ad Program now?

   David 470posted 12 years ago

   I have been having issues with PayPal because my Social Security number can not be verified. I think I had a similar problem at College where my financial Aid did not go through at first.
   
   I tried getting a Paypal Mastercard and it said my SS card can not be verified and now my account is limited.
   
   I'm not sure if it will block HubPages from paying me or not because I have not received payment yet. This is stupid -- I have always had trouble with my social security number and now PayPal is taking security measures by blocking my account when I tried to upgrade!
   
   So my question is, when are we normally supposed to get paid? Is it no longer the 20th of each month?

      Get a good Social Security Number from El Passo. It will cost about $800.

      Maybe you should get to the bottom of it and check with the social security office. Someone else may be using your number. Check your credit reports too.

      If I still have my money in my current Amazon account am I going to lose it when it switches to HubPages?

         No but if you have no other websites to keep using your independent Amazon account and accruing outside of HubPages, it may be hard to earn enough to reach the payout for those funds in cash.

            @Relache, I reached payout in December, will I be paid all I've earned up to the 28th of January or only what I've earned up to the 20th of December?

      Thanks for that I had wondered if or when a change was going to occur.
      
      With the 28th being on a Saturday I wonder if it will go through that day or delayed until the 30th.

      Thanks for bringing this up, I was wondering too, as it used to be on the 20th of the month. I mentioned it on another thread and someone bit my head off for suggeting perhaps HP was having some financial issues. It seems only possible, since prior to Panda they weren't paying us to write.

         Is there a typo in there, Jean? Or do you mean that HP wasn't paying us directly?   The reason for the change wasn't Panda,HP's ad program was in the pipeline before Panda happened.

            Yes, my typing is just awful lately. But I was wondering, because aren't they paying more than they were with the HP ad program?

               Not really.  It's just a difference in the way it's distributed.  Adsense paid us direct, but the HP Ads advertisers pay HP who then pay us.

                  And, of course, nobody has to use the HP Ad program, and can do the direct Google Adsense only deal if they so desire.

                     True. I just was curious about the date change. I've been nursing a rib injury for a few weeks now, and have finally decided to take pain meds, but they are apparently too strong for me as I can't type right and my posts aren't making sense! I never tried turning off the HP ads and just doing the Google Adsense, because I never did too well with the SEO stuff.

                        Well, hopefully those suckers are killing your pain.  Last time I was hurt and took Vicoden...the big ten mg's...I felt...nothing in the way of pain relief.

                           I'm getting relief, but I'm staying in the house. I wouldn't take the chance of driving or even walking, it's snowing today and it's slippery. My tolerance level is low, so I'll be careful. I usually don't take anything. My chiro and I believe that when you take something to kill the pain, you are more likely to hurt yourself worse, since you think you feel better, but you really aren't better. It's just hanging on long, and I am getting impatient. It will pass.

                              Mostly true.  You could hurt yourself and not know it, but the phrase, "God loves drunks," or whatever - comes from the fact that a drunk person, being muscularly relaxed...is less likely to injure themselves than a non drunk in a fall or auto accident, etc.

   In case nobody asked this. I read through the replies and didn't see anything
   If our paypal accounts are setup, etc, is the payout and transfer automatic or do you have to ask HubPages to transfer the funds into PayPal?
   
   I reached my first payout in December 2011, so from what I have read from this discussion thread, I should receive a payment this week, correct?

      It is automatic. Provided the status for "Ad Program" is "active" in your HubPages Earnings Program Settings and you have accrued more than $50.

      I read an apology in one thread so it might be that the official announcement was not made as prominently as one might have expected.

    Not been paid yet either. Before it changed, hubpages always paid on the 20th no matter what day the 20th fell on. Also if you are due to be paid on a weekend day then you normaly recieve the money the friday before, which is what Amazon have just done. There are lots of hubbers talking about this in the forums, many of us were not even aware that the payment date had changed in the first place. Could someone from hubpages maybe let us know when we can expect payment please?
