When do we enter the 3 id numbers for paid to post?

[loriecampbell]

I have several posts and tried to enter in the 3 I've gotten for November. I know today's only Nov. 1. Here's the message I got:

"You do not have enough posts for the selected month. You must have at least 30 posts in the selected month to qualify".

Do we do it after the 30 posts are made?

I've only submitted my posts once so far, so I'm not completely sure, but I waited until I had my 30 posts to do it and had no problems!

You got wait till you have 30 posts or more for the month!!! Having a little more then 30 is better cause a few might not get consider as contributory post!!! You have to sumbit the 3 post by the end of that month or if you happen to miss it you can do the following month & Sumbit for the present month & the month before... But you must have 30 post or more for each month ( ex. 35 posts for Nov. 36 posts for Dec. submit by Dec. 31st!!! Hope that helps you out!!! Good luck

You enter the 3 ID's for your selected posts when you decide to request the bonus.

Yes, you need to have at least 30 posts before you make the request.  I usually wait until the next to last day of the month so I have a good selection of posts, usually 40-50 posts, before I submit my request.  You won't get the bonus any sooner if you make the request sooner, so why not wait until closer to the end of the month. (Bonus is usually paid at the end of the month following the month you made the request.)

I don't do it on the last day of the month because I'm not sure what the cut-off time is -- rather be a day early than a day late.

I do it right when I hit 30 posts. That way I don't end up forgetting and miss out.

Hi loriecampbell.  You can request the $3.00 Bonus for Forum Posting after you have made at least 30 posts for the month. 

You are eager since you want to request this already and it is only the first day of November!  Relax and enjoy posting all month long. 

Then toward the end of the month you will have many posts to browse through to choose your best 3 posts for claiming the bonus.  You still have to wait til the end of the following month for credit anyway.

Quote from the Rules on Forum Post Bonus:  "Bonuses will be credited at the end of following month; please allow UP TO 65 days for crediting."

I've never attempted to do it before I've made at least thirty posts because I'm afraid it I tried to early and forgot to continue posting or if I miscounted then I would not get credit for the month.  also, by having at least thirty before putting in the numbers I have more to choose from as far as good posts.  It also gives me a chance to look over the thirty posts and if I determine that one or two might be "iffy" I usually have enough time to get in a few more posts before the end of the month.  So far so good - I've gotten the bonus seven or eight months in a row since I've started here on the forum.

Yes, you can submit anytime after you have made 30 qualifying posts per month.  I usually go ahead submit after my 30th so that I don't forget.  I forgot to submit for the first month I was on here and have never forgotten since then!

That brings up a good point. We are only allowed to request the $3 bonus for the current month or the previous month. Beyond that time frame, we're out of luck. During the month of November we may still request our $3 bonus for October as long as we made 30+ posts but it's too late to request a bonus for September.  So if you made your 30+ posts in October but forgot to submit your request, it's still not too late!

Ideally, though, you want to put in your request by the end of the month so that you'll get your bonus around the same time each month.

 :wave:Thank you for your feedback and tips everyone. Have a great payout!

30+ posts for sure!

it has to be 30 qualified posts tho.

You can check how many eligible posts you have by clicking up top where it says "Are you getting paid to post yet?" Then, on the post that comes up, click on "forum bonus request form" and it will tell you the posts you have. Actually, it's the same page as when you go to enter in your post numbers to get credit.

I always request at the end of the month

Yes, you have to wait until you have 30 posts. Then, you pick your 3 best ones.
