HubPages Ad Program payment is late

   I usually get paid on the 28th of the month but it is now the 30th and no payment which is worrying because I count on these payments being there by the end of the month and this one has not been paid. Anyone know why payments are late or is it just me that hasn't been paid yet?

      Sorry, Bard of Ely. May be you should contact HP and alert them about the issue. Got mine on Sunday and i would consider today (30th) as late. I hope you get sorted out quickly.

         It is very depressing because I so often get pay and post very late and it makes my life so much harder. Until now I have been able to count on HP but not this time it seems! Thanks for your advice!

      Hey Bard of Ely,
      Your current balance is not actually above the $50 threshold (just checked), which is why you were not paid. You will most certainly reach payout next month, as you were SO CLOSE at the end of this month!!!

         I find This Month (Apr) $70.36 Dollars Last Month (Mar) $49.55 Dollars, so what you are saying is you would be paying me for last month's earnings not this one which is just ending? And you don't add my other accounts in to make the total?

            Remember this payment is not for April (which is not completely over yet), it is for March.

         Hi Simone,
         Do I get my first payout next month? I thought it was this month. I did read the guidelines. Must have misunderstood because I didn't get anything this month either. Just want to be sure. Thanks

   I wonder why I haven't had mine then! It is a real nuisance because I needed that money by today and it isn't there!

      Maybe you didn't reach the threshold this time?

      Was the 29th late for payments for you?

   Bard, from what I understand, you won't get April's payment until May. You just missed making payout in March, which would have been paid out the end of this month.

      Thanks, Gcrhoads64. You've answered my question, too. Not sure why the concept is so brain-bending.

   Bard, HP does not pool earnings from all accounts an individual might have here. Each account has to hit pay-out independently despite the fact all accounts are probably associated with the same Paypal account, which means it would not be at all difficult to have a combined payment. Of course, that policy works in HP's interest, since in the meantime the money sits in their bank account gaining interest for them instead of benefiting the writers.

      The reason for my confusion is I have had payments before that have been more than what was showing in earnings so I assumed they had added additional money from my other accounts. I understand this better now. Fortunately Google have saved the day because I got their payment and that will cover my phone and Internet bill!
