This is a Swom FAQ based on my personal experience and the opinions of other Swommers.

Does Swom pay?
Yes Swom pays. Swom has paid me twice via AlertPay

How does Swom pay?
Swom pays via AlertPay or check

What does it cost the upgrade to gold in Swom?
The cost to upgrade is $24.95 monthly

Can I pay my monthly Swom fee with my earnings?
Yes, but you have to upgrade with your own funds first.
I paid for my first month with my own funds and use my earnings to cover it now.
This is only automatic for Credit Card subscriptions.

What is the minimum payout?
The minimum payout is $25

Is there a best day to upgrade to gold?
Immediately after you realize you want to take advantage of Swom..
If I should pick a day, I would pick the one after payrun or maybe add a day to give them the chance to get a problem and fix it without it having too much effect on me.

By using previous numbers achieved by me, which is absolutely not anywhere near typical, an upgrade would pay for itself if it took place 7 days before Swom does the payrun.

When is payrun?
Payrun is the 10th every month

When can I withdraw my commissions from Swom?
Whenever you have more than $25 in your account, but remember it’s best to leave $25 in your account to cover your fee. It saves you fees and you won’t be affected by any hickups that might occur when payments normally would take place.

How long does it take for my withdrawal to be processed?
I don’t know about check, but AlertPay is about 14 days.
Transferring to AlertPay is instant of course, the 14 days is used for something else.

I don’t have an AlertPay account, should I get one?
Absolutely! Doesn’t cost you anything to get one and the sooner you get it the sooner you can verify it.

Is it free to use AlertPay ?
No, there are fees, but only when you use it.
Like receiving money from Swom etc..
