@Chuck_D you only earn BAT while linked to something. So while enabled, you won’t earn.
If you didn’t read through the link I provided you before, I highly suggest you do so. If you had already applied for on-chain when I first replied, you would have received an invite and been earning already. So read through PSA: Current and upcoming changes to Rewards and Creators and apply for waitlist.
And if you don’t want on-chain payments, then you likely will be waiting a very long time. Brave is trending away from custodial accounts and more to on-chain payments. There are no guarantees when, or if, Uphold will expand to other countries for Rewards or if Brave will add other partners.
