I got 757743 pp just for Feb 1st!   It is now March 6 and my balance was not cleared to zero. Didn't they say that on the 5th they will reset if it's above 100$?

I was just wondering about the same issue.  All money from last month still there.

Any one surprised this isn't happening on schedule? ;)

At first I thought it's because of that "if your balance is over 100,000 $ we won't clear it all in once" thing.

Maybe for you, but nothing for me. I did see the GI purple show up yesterday. Might take until the 15th to clear all the assorted categories, like it did last month.

Didn't they say that last month too? Oh that was the first payment by iStock, now it's changed to Getty Images.   :)

No lack of change and amusing things from the IS/Getty circus, to watch.

By the way, I went and looked because I get that tax interview warning email, over and over. Took the survey again. I don't know if it will let me take it 100 times, if I want, because apparently they don't know if we did or not. How strange is that?

At least the payment method stuck after the second time through when I did that in January.

for me, they probably have trouble counting and calculating the 11,000 sales a month.

I show green across the board and if this accumulation has ended, DAMNNNNNNNNNNN!!! Istock IS DYING!! Last month between IS & TS I was in the $400's and this month I am in the $200's. About a 50% drop. It's tough to make anything worthwhile in MS these days.

You won't have had many subs yet, and G+ comes with Getty sales after subs. Not that I'm saying they'll definitely be something to cheer about. My Jan subs were lower than in Dec/Nov/Oct, so even they aren't necessarily on an upwards trajectory for everyone.

Every month it's the same anxiety and hand wringing over the PP/SUB/GETTY sales.  We won't know the final tally til near the end of the month, so no point to fret when barely a week has passed.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Or was it...  Don't Worry Be Happy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=d-diB65scQU)

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy

I remember it slightly different:

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to hide
the bodies of my enemies well.

Is it over now? Seems they reached the end of the month a couple days ago.

Yes, Ploink you may have the 21 Century version instead of the BC version?  ;D
