on the forum post why does it take 65days

hopefully I put this in the right spot just did the forum bonus but 65 days that is not right I was hoping to add that 3 to my already accumilated bummed but why so long?

Generally, you will get the Forum posting bonus toward the end of the month following the month you made the request give or take a couple of days.

If you make the request today (4/25), you would see the credit on or about May 31st. (36 days).

If, however, you made the request for April on May 1st, you would see the credit on or about June 30 (61 days).  

Most folks make the request for a given month towards the end of that month, so the wait is generally just  a little over 30 days.

Why does it take even that long?  Think about how many posts are being reviewed each month.  Doubt that they look at every one, but even looking at just the 3 you provide as examples it's still a lot.

But once you get in the habit of posting in the Forum and making the request each month, the Forum posting bonus pops up at the end of the next month.  Nice little additional to your account.

Yep, what he said. You can submit for your forum bonus the first day of the month, but you still won't get paid until the last day of the following month. That's why it's nice to have that $3 rolling in every month. The first month you submit for it is the worst because it does seem to take forever. After that you won't even worry about the time any more, you just know it will be there at the end of the month.

It doesn't always take that long. I usually get it sooner than that. Just think, if it doesn't go into your total this month, it will help you get a head start on next months cashout!

Yup - what everyone has said.  Just hang on - and keep going for it each month.  Because as soon as you get that first one, the others will flow in on schedule each month, and you'll get that extra three bucks towards your cash out goal.  I've had mine show up on the last day or day before last of the month, which is why I wait till then to cash out, because it's so nice having that extra three bucks.

Agreed with what has been said already.  I just received my bonus from March, so obviously it didn't take the entire 65 days.  I think they are just using that to sorta make sure they have enough time to get to you.  Don't worry, it will come to you assuming you have enough that qualify.
