Even if there is the possibility to request payout in PP too, I don't do that. The loss of credits is just to high. That is exactly 50% and that is a lot.

I prefer to cash out in ECU and than exchange it later to LR. Exchanging LR to PP is more profitable... you can get more money to PP in such exchanges.

So, it just doesn't worth to get your money directly to your PP account!
