    hey i wanted to know who actually uses this. Do you hold your google payment til it reaches a certain amount? or do you just do monthly checks?

    What happens if you place a hold lets say for 5,000 and once you reach it , they just decide to not pay you and find the littlest thing wrong with your account and ban you?

    im eager to here everyones response. thanks

    I was personally debating that.. it would be nice just getting a $5000 check in the mail VS. a ton of $100 checks.. but I honestly think i'm just going to just get the series of smaller checks because if they say you did something wrong.. you did something wrong and you lose...

    How do you hold payments ? :)
    Does it really make a difference even if you hold the payments?

    I hold my payments for 2-3 months because I can't afford to pay $25 every month for DHL service.

    I regularly hold my payments for 2 months and I've never had any problems. This is very convenient for me.

    It's a good feature, but it's risky.
    From what I heard (and you probably also saw) they can suspend accounts for no reason at all. With payment holding you're just making it riskier.

    I hold my payments for 2-3 months, because a $100 check costs me $15 to cash.

    Take the small checks because the banned risk is too high

    I hold my checks... Why?

    If I get a hundred bucks or two every month, they just slip through the household finances and disappear.

    If I get a few thousand bucks at once, I can use it for myself (says the married man with two kids).

    That´s the sad truth.

    I don't see any reason you guys have to worry of banning if you are not violating TOS of Googles.

    There's always a chance of someone click bombing you. Personally, I rather just receive a cheque every month. :)
