It appears on this page. https://www.google.com/adsense/reports-payment It should say on December. "payment issued"
I know why some people got PIP early. This is because of christmas. Maye Google was planning to pay-off early as a gift. P.S: i don't know whether they will succeed in paying before 25 DEC or not
Well I'm also in the US on the East Coast - EST and as of 9pm December 22nd there is still no PIP showing for me! Looks like we're not going to get the payment early enough to do some Christmas shopping
"PIP and payment issued" is early for those who opt for the cheque and a bit late for EFT and Western Union but most of the time the money will reach ETF and WU 1st. Anybody agree with me?
