Under payment details on Streamate, "Date Issued" on the check payment is the day its mailed?
I know it sounds like a relatively simple question, but ive never gotten a single check from Streamate so im going thru a relearning/readjusting process.
I wasn't expecting a check mailed until next week as I didn't switch it until early Wednesday morning (Around 1 AM).
Im getting it via Fedex (Bills due).
Honestly, im rather impressed if it is indeed already mailed.
Payoneer comes Friday, and if its mailed ied probably get it no later then Wednesday, which is only a 5 day delay compared to the 2 week delay I was financially prepared for.
Lets see how my bank handles cashing, or depositing a random ass check for totally different amounts every week.
Honestly, Ive been wanting to joining up my husbands income and mine for awhile instead of keeping it separate.
This might be a push I needed.
It's usually correct but I too haven't seen my check issued and I changed it in time (or so I thought). With fedex they show up on Fridays usually. Be sure to be dressed and awake because they knock on your door to deliver it and you have to sign for it. At least that's what it was like when I did fedex last. Regular checks usually come on Monday for me.

they're always issued on Wednesday and about 95% of the time I have received my mailed checks by usps on Mondays. I've had a couple that randomly show up early on Saturday. I have also had two instances where the check was late by one or two days, and then I think only once have I ever had to reissue it ($25) for being lost in the mail.
I deposit my checks into my chase checking account via their mobile app. I only have to go into a physical bank to make deposits when on the rare occasions my checks are over $2k. I don't see why your bank would give you any issues over depositing "random amounts" every week. That's not uncommon for freelancers.

Does everyone have Weds the 11th on their 'check issued' date? I have a feeling SM just didn't send my check because they probably didn't knowledge my payment change until it was too late. I did it on Sun or Mon. I emailed to ask but I can't get into my email for some reason.

Mine still isn't showing up on my payments report either. I made the change Tuesday morning as soon as I read FCP had closed.

Hello. In my case I changed payment method the past tuesday 10 of april (the Payment from 1-7) Was sent to my FCP account but really frustrated because that money is now frozen until the choice bank decide to pay back. The process will take around two months so yeah, I worked holy week for nothing and really, I needed that money to pay something for an upcoming trip... But for now I cant do anything else, just wait.

Looks like several of us got screwed over this week. I don't see my check in my informed delivery digest so it looks like it'll be added to next week's pay and we'll get it on the 23rd.

Got my check today, it was mailed on Friday fyi. I would expect our checks to be later from now on fyi. As I have seen first hand signing checks is a bitch and I am sure a lot of American models who were with FCP are now with checks, ergo a much more tedious process.

So SM is offering Cosmo Pay which allows people from outside of the US to access their money via card, but we can't even get them to send us direct deposit without a $40 wire fee here in the US. Interesting.

it would be nice if streamate gave us a button that said something like " Sorry, the performer can not chat about that, please contact support if you have any questions"
something that looks like its automated so we don't have to be the ones to shut them down, and also so they don't keep asking

This did have considering how much more effect I need to put into affiliate marketing outside of adult. I am switched to check for majority of the sites at the moment. There is debate if I can still use Paxum or not. but not sure yet. Wiill keep checks until I am more confident of a service I can use to get E-transfers to my bank account or a new reload credit/debit card.

Mer my check was issued on the 11th but I still haven't gotten it yet. I so do not miss this check fuckery. I was really hoping that the whole P/FC thing would push SM to finally incorporate direct deposit/bank transfer but nope. I guess I will have to get use to getting checks again because I refuse to sign up to another card company as well as have a bunch fee's taken.
Edit: finally got my check :)

My check still says it wasn't issued, nor is it in the mailbox via informed delivery so I'm really starting to think they shoved it with this week's pay. Does anyone see their 4/18 issued payment yet? If I don't see it by tomorrow I'm bitching.

I contacted support about my missing payment. I thought I made the switch in time. I got a reply last night saying that the payment would be processed this week and would include all other eligible earnings.
As long as it comes in on time next week, I will be relieved.

During this whole FOSTA thing, I've been poking around at other options/jobs.
Since everyone I've been meeting is a ' life coach', I decided to Google how to become one.
Look what popped up! ICF ( Not Streamate's ICF technology name), but close enough for a good chuckle)
LOL! Turns out I'm already a Life coach, and have been one for over 7 years. We all are! Who knew?;D

Ugh,
So it turns out SM MANUALLY changed my state! O.o My bank is in Texas, my home state is not. When I switched from check, to wire, to check it was already been pre-filled. I've received checks for months, no issue. Apparently when I switched back to check, they carried over TEXAS as my state from my wire's bank address- but how if it was already pre-filled out with the correct state?
Either way, I emailed vanessa to see if they'll send it today, if not- looks like the 30th for me.

Hi Kortney - I just checked my account and SM issued my check yesterday 3/18. They included checks for 4/1 & 4/8. I've never done the check thing, does anyone know how long it takes for checks to get to California? I miss having my earnings appear like clockwork in my account every Tuesday :(
I'm moving at the end of the month so this couldn't have come at a worst time!

So if a check was issued on 4/18 does that mean it was mailed out on the 4/18? I'm for sure going to the PO and getting Informed Delivery ASAP!

Finally another bonus week that isn't competitive.
"For the entire week of April 22-28 (GMT), we're giving all performers a 20% earning bonus! If you earn at least $25 during that week, we'll add up all of your eligible earnings and add on a 20% earnings bonus (eligible earnings excludes Video Sales, Cammodels, TopSpot adjustments, Partner Site, and Gold Club earnings, which do not count towards your bonus earnings).
This means that if your eligible earnings for the week are $1000, we'll add an extra $200 bonus, just for streaming! This special event doesn’t have a leaderboard or a prize list, and there’s no limit to the amount you can earn. Once you make at least $25, this bonus applies to all eligible earnings made between April 22-28 GMT, so make sure you know when those dates start in your time zone."

You can sign up for informed delivery online. SM is in Seattle so you'll probably get it a lot sooner.

These may be SUPER obvious questions or I may just be lacking some brain cells lol. I have a few VERY basic questions regarding SM and wondered if anyone is able to clarify some things for me.
1. Is SM a free chat site or a privates/groups site? Can you do both or just do privates only?
2. Anyone know how UK models can be paid, if/what the minimum payouts are on there for those options?
3. Is the payout 30 or 35%?
Thank you :)

I'm really thinking they don't send anything out until Friday because being in the midwest, I get mine on Monday as well. So if people a state over are getting it on Monday too, they probably issue it (like someone mentioned) on Weds, and mail them out Fri.

Please note: If you are expecting payment via CosmoPayment this week, it has been initiated. Because this payment solution was implemented quickly, there may be a delay on when you see the funds in your Cosmo account. We are working to resolve this and expect processing to return to normal schedules in the coming week or two. Rest assured, your payment will be received!
Just saw this on my home page. So I guess I might not see any money for this week or next week then? Normally I get payment on Friday. I really hope next Friday I get at least one payment!

Just posted this myself in the SM vent thread and Cosmo Pay thread for all to see before i saw ur post here; what i understand from the bolded part of the sentence is, the payments for this week will be delayed but they dont specify for how long (can be hours or days) and for the next week and the week after things will go smoother, i dont read it like it'll take a whole week or two to get the money that were supposed to hit our cosmo accounts today (friday).
Not a native english speaker here but this is what i personally understand and i hope i am right cause i too need that money. xx

Someone above mentioned cutting them on Weds and sending on Fri which I thought was odd because I get mine on Mondays as well as many others but I went with it. I'm just thinking what you're thinking- they send on Weds or Thurs. If they sent it on Fri, I wouldn't have it until Weds.

This was interesting to see. since its just 20% bonus over earnings $25. and it's not a leaderboard contest.
My check arrives April 18 sent out April 13th. (Canada) just now waiting for my bank to release those funds. because I am trying a thing where I am not visiting money mart often. I am not sure about Paxum I am waiting a few months before I use my paxum account.
since I am back from my trip I just need to crush it and make enough for a new powerful computer. then eventually have my room set up with 2 or 3 computers depending on layout and comfort.

I wasnt being condescending or rude I was being passive aggressive and sarcastic. The answer to all the questions were intended to be vague because you came here asking someone to spoon feed you the most basic information about the working on SM I found that rude.
Im thinking maybe I need a break. I always enjoy being helpful on this site and offering advice to all the other models but when I see something I dont agree with I do call it out. Im not one of those "if you dont have anything nice to say" types but I do try to do it with out being outwardly insulting or attacking a persons character I just stick to calling a spade a spade. I think that just like sometimes the cam clients can wear you down sometimes you other models do it to me as well. Think I need to just refocus my energy and spend less time here. Maybe just visit the goal threads and keep to that for a while. Obviously Im not appreciated here.

Yes I was being sincere. I have been a cam model for many years, alongside being on this and another cam girl forum. And yes I understand how frustrating it is when people ask simple questions. (Hence why I pointed it out that they were simple).
My questions was more so looking for confirmation of things that I wondered before I joined SM.

I'm with you there. This forum is invaluable and I've learned a lot here as well as tried to be as helpful as possible to others, but if you hang out here too much it can do your head in if you get on the wrong side of certain members that feel they own this place. If you stop getting email notifications about replies you soon forget this forum exists and you can get on with your regular life (camming).
