This is not 100% correct.
Situation's been stadily improving lately.
90% of the posts in "Been Paid" folder show that the average waiting time is now 4,5-5 months. And don't forget that you are able to reach $50 payout on your own within 40-50 days. New cash-out system now allows auto-debiting so you don't have to wait to receive your first payment in order to cash out for second.
I've reached my 1st payout 3 weeks ago and I cashed-out (means money's been auto deducted from my balance) and I'm at $17 already.
It's true though but with old syatem people had to wait for about 4-5 months just to get their money debited. That caused a lot of multi requests for cash-out (when people just been overwriting their original requests and pushing themselves at the end of the like every time). It's been solved and we can see big improvement already.
A lot of people here are prasing low payout sites. I'm a member of several $3-$10 sites and I wasn't able to reach this amounts without referrals for 2-3 months so I prefer to wait for my $50 for 4 months knowing full well that I will be paid (as AYS has a strong reputation of paying site with the strong management and wise owners instead of clicking 1/4c links for months so I can get $10 in 4 months.
Just my 5c
