My $300 payout got stuck in 'pending' for 19 days and it was all one typo
Heads up for anyone running a paid newsletter or memberships, check your payout settings every few months. I hit payout request on a Friday back in early March and the status just sat on 'pending' for 19 days. I emailed support twice, got canned replies about 'bank processing times,' and started thinking I was out $300. Turned out when I updated my bank info last fall I fat-fingered one digit in the routing number on file, so their system kept kicking it back and nobody flagged it. The part that bugs me is there was zero notice, no failed payment email, nothing in the dashboard. I only caught it because a support rep finally asked me to read the number back to her over the phone. Fixed it in 5 minutes and the money hit my account in two days. So yeah, go log in and actually look at the digits on your payout account today, not just the green checkmark. Anyone else get burned by a silent payout fail like this, and did you ever get a real answer from support?
