I usually don't let it get past $20 before cashing out. Sometimes it goes over if I have a lot pending and it's over the week-end I'll wake up Monday morning with $30 - 40 in sometimes. But normally once it's $20 I'll withdraw. I've read/heard way too many horror stories about people losing their money and I'm a natural worrier soooo...
Yeah, I understood, for the most part. But I was suggesting this because to me it's better to have all of $20 if it takes 5 days than to wait 5 days for $3, then another 5 days for $7 and then maybe another 5 days for $10.
You asked why wait until there's a sizable amount instead of making smaller withdrawals. Each withdrawal takes a certain amount of days (it varies per person), usually the same amount of days each time. I was saying that if the withdrawal takes more time, I'd wait to make a bigger withdrawal as opposed to waiting days at a time for several DIFFERENT smaller withdrawals. For example, if it takes someone 24 hours or less to complete a withdrawal, then they aren't really affected. But if it takes someone else 5 days to complete a withdrawal, then it seems less time consuming and frustrating to make one big withdrawal than to wait 5 days PER withdrawal for a bunch of different smaller withdrawals.
I have been withdrawing every Sunday. Except for this past Sunday, I did not. Instead, I used the funds to buy ink for my printer off of Amazon. Hopefully, I will be withdrawing again this upcoming Sunday.
I withdraw anytime I am over a $1. But I only draw an even dollar amount and leave the odd cents in there to wait for the next go around. Amazon would let us draw out at a $1 when I first started Turking, and then went to $10. When I began Turking regularly again, I was so happy to see they had changed it back to $1.
I cash out around $50-$100, just depending on how quickly I need the money. I don't think I would leave more than that in there just in case there was ever a problem.
I leave it in there for a little while, not sure if I feel like making an Amazon purchase instead. I don't make nearly as much as some of you, I'm sure, only a few dollars a day. I still wait for more than $10...but often it's 2 weeks or more. Think the most was about $150.
I try and cash out every night before midnight. If it's after and I forgot then I just wait til the next day. I cash out the entire balance every time.
Amazon's on the west coast, which means that they are three hours behind us(New York?). I don't know how much that affects it.
