Hm... that is a good question... but why don't you ask your payment today, on the 24th?

On the forum they say that that all payments will be processed on the 25th of the month, and payments will be processed as soon soon possible.

If you are asking your money on the 25th, you might wait for your money another month!
I thought I should make some more cents before I request for my first payment. If at all I need to wait for another month, then I will request today itself. Are you sure I can't request tomorrow?
