Hey, I have earned a small amount of money from your referral program, but not enough to meet the $50 minimum payout. I am just wondering why you have a minimum payout for Paypal? After all, I’m the one that gets charged by Paypal to receive payment.
I would really like to get my money but with the microscopic amount of traffic my site gets I don’t think I’ll be able to meet the $50 minimum any time soon, if at all… 
Thank you, - Evan Byrne

The reason is because, if the minimum was $5, we’d be flooded with payout requests. Such measures have to be implemented in order to maintain some sense of balance. Otherwise, we’d be making thousands and thousands of $5 payouts.

That makes sense, but I remember reading somewhere that money in my account expires after 1 year of receiving it. Is that true or is my information incorrect?

This is something I’ve been wondering about too. Does someone manually make payouts each month? Is there no way to automate it?

I’m not positive what system they use. I know that Paypal has a way to make many payments at once. I believe it involves uploading an XML file – but I’m not sure.

So, is it confirmed that funds pay out of my account after a year? I wouldn’t imagine they are just lost.

Yeah, after one year, if you have earnings totalling less than $50, you can cash those out.
It is only deposits that can expire, if unspent after 1 year.
