Last month was a good month. I earned a fair bit more than usual. Maybe it helped that I was back from Wales engaging on the platform again, because since April, Iā€™ve been away an awful lot, renovating a house.

So, imagine my surprise to get an email saying my money will be rolled over to next month, until it reaches the $10 minimum payout threshold. Iā€™ve earned a lot more than that!

Hello Susie K šŸ¹ Guinea pig slave,

This email is to let you know that your Medium Partner Program earnings will rollover to the following month and continue to accumulate until they meet the $10 minimum payout threshold. Your current rollover balance is $450.71.

I hopped over to Medium Help to say, ā€˜Um, I think youā€™ve made a mistakeā€™. And it looks like a couple of hundred people got there before me! Theyā€™ve been inundated with reports.

They now have a notice at the top of the help page:

September 5- Partner Program emails notifying people that their payouts would rollover were sent out erroneously. We will follow up with the correct emails soon. Thereā€™s no need to file a support ticket about this, as it will be corrected soon.

So, you can all relax. They are not rolling over your $1000 payment because itā€™s below the $10 limit. Theyā€™ve just make a mistake and it will be rectified soon. Thanks Medium!

Now go and relax, or read some of my stories.
