I had to wait 2 months due to my ignorance, I did not know I had to request a PIN number, well I did last month and I finally got it today. I got 288.93!! whoopeee!
Yeh? I didn't know this either. But then again, I haven't started actively using adsense until a couple of weeks ago so haven't had the need to. What is this pin you are referring to?
You have to apply for the PIN afaik. It's just a one click thing though. The phone verification is the same, but if that fails (which it has been doing a lot recently) - a quick email to the AdSense support team and they manually verify you. EFT's are the way forward though - not cheques
got my first check yesterday as well. the envelope was open so i almost crapped my pants, but nothing was stolen there was only one sheet with the check attached to it. is there anything else that comes in that envelope?
