Pinning it down (to $10)

As part of our efforts to make sure that the AdSense account details publishers provide are valid and correct, we do a couple types of validation that you may be aware of: the Personal Identification Number (PIN) program and, in some locations, phone number verification. One or both of these verification methods is required in order to ensure the security and accuracy of your information so you can receive payments from AdSense.

In the past, our system would ask you to verify your information when your earnings reached $50. However, we've recently changed the threshold to $10. This lowered amount means many of you may see a PIN arrive in your mailbox soon, as well as a prompt in your account to verify your phone number. For more information about these holds, visit the links in the 'Required Actions' box on your Payment History page.


(Psst: If your all-time earnings are between $10 and $50, this might be a good time to learn all about PINs so you'll know what to expect. Or, if you prefer surprises, you can remain blissfully ignorant till a PIN mailer pops up in your mailbox. Just be sure you don't pitch it in the trash!)

Hi,
It's a nice blog for newbie to adsense. But I could not find
my answer about how to receive
the PIN if someone not received
it TWICE or THRICE.
I also haven't received it twice.
I was finding a post here where
I could know that the address
can be confirmed/verified sending some document like ELECTRICY BILL or other related documents to you
thru EMAIL or FAX.
I hope I do receive suitable reply
to may EMAIL ID about this querry.
Thanks and regards

As like everyone else, I have been over $100 for weeks and still no way to put in my form of payment or tax info. AND NO WAY TO CONTACT GOOGLE ABOUT THIS! Is adsense just going to hold my money indefinitely, or until they hope I give up? I've offered them my ad space and they have made money off of this adspace. Now I've lived up to my agreement, if adsense is a reputable ad company you will live up to yours. Please respond to this.
