I know that you get paid at the end of the month for the previous month if you have made it to $100. But when you first start using Google AdSense you have to recieve a PIN number which is sent out after you have made $50 in order to start recieving checks. So if you are just starting to use Google AdSense in Febuary and you make $50 get your PIN sometime in Febuary and before Febuary is over make $100, will you recieve your first check at the end of March or is it diffrent when your first starting and you first get your PIN.
If you get the PIN before the 15th of Feb, you'll be paid at the end of Feb. If you don't, and get it before the 15th of March, you'll get paid at the end of March.
What is a PIN? In order to become eligible to receive payments for your AdSense account, all publishers are required to enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN). PINs are printed on white 4.5 x 6 inch (11.4 x 15.2 cm) postcards and sent via standard mail. To view the outside of the PIN mailer, please see our entry on What does the PIN mailer look like? Why do I need a PIN? PINs are necessary to verify the accuracy of your contact information and to help ensure that you can receive your payments. When should I expect to receive a PIN? We'll print and send your PIN via standard mail several days after your account balance reaches US $50 for the first time. PINs typically arrive within 2-4 weeks, but may take longer depending on your location. How long do I have to enter a PIN? You'll have 6 months from the initial issue date to enter your PIN. If you have not entered a PIN within 4 months, we will replace the paid advertisements on your site with unpaid Public Service Ads. If you still have not entered your PIN within 6 months, your account will be disabled and your unpaid earnings will be refunded to the appropriate advertisers. What if I do not receive my PIN? If you do not receive your first PIN, you can request 2 replacement PINs. For instructions on requesting a new PIN, visit How can I request a new PIN?. If you have requested your maximum of 3 PINs and have not received any of them within 90 days, please contact us.
