Uncle Bob, et al.,
Lets use this current FileMates week as an example - November 5th through the 11th.
If, as Uncle Bob mentioned, one puts in for a payout today (Wednesday), that payout would be redeemed on/or about Wednesday, November 21st.
If you put in for a payout on Monday, November 5th, that payout would be redeemed on/or about Wednesday, November 21st.
If you put in for a payout on Saturday, November 10th, that payout would be redeemed on/or about Wednesday, November 21st.
That's the way it works.

Also, keep in mind that FileMates' days are based on CET (Central European Time).
