SimpleGPT/P4R Payment Proof July 2010

N.G. Woosh — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 19:35:55 +0000

Here’s payment poor for SimpleGPT and Points4Rewards for July 2010.

I kept cashing out and forgetting to post anything, so I withdrew $1 just to screenshot it. ._.

On that note, both sites have a $1 cashout minimum with instant PayPal. Pretty awesome.

Beware of “The Dollar Pit”

N.G. Woosh — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:55:41 +0000

The owner of “The Dollar Pit” used to send me messages on Yahoo to ask me to post this or that on my blog. Today I’m posting a warning.

If you had signed up for this site previously, you received a signup bonus. Now, let me start by giving my opinion on bonuses: If I say I’m giving you $5 to do something, whether it’s sign up for my site, spend it on an item, whatever, that $5 is yours. Once I give it to you, I no longer own or have control over that money. That just seems pretty basic to me.

Apparently that isn’t true of “The Dollar Pit”. If you’re given a bonus, and suddenly the rules change, it’s time to take back that money. I don’t know what the signup bonus is now, nor do I really care, and after this post I’m moving on with my life and I probably won’t give the site a second thought. However, with that being said, please just know that if you sign up for the site, it’s at your own risk.

I had my attempt to withdraw money deleted twice, once without explanation. The second time told me to either earn more money (higher than the minimum) or give my bonus back. I replied thanking the owner for explaining, and providing my opinion, to receive a message that was pretty rude: “I don’t hesitate to pay members that do the work.” — I have done some work, I’ve posted blog posts at her request, made a graphic she requested for her site, and I was given a bonus. So much for paying members that do the work.

My personal argument with the rude email aside, I will say it again: “if you sign up for the site, it’s at your own risk.” I’m all for business policies, but honesty is the best policy in any business.

Would I go so far as to call this site a scam? Probably not. She probably does pay some members, but I personally sure can’t prove it.

I’ll be going through to remove or edit previous posts about this site shortly.

CrownGPT – Looking for a new site?

N.G. Woosh — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 04:17:22 +0000

Looking for a new site? Try CrownGPT. PayPal, check, and alertpay payments for cash. Amazon, eBay, and other gift cards for points. Everything looks legit, and the layout isn’t bad either. Plenty of legitimate sites can scare you off with a horrible layout that you can’t really navigate, but this one is pretty well laid out.

6/13/2010 Update: I’ve posted payment proof!

Cheesy Themes + GPT Sites

What is it with GPT sites and cheesy themes?

Not to mention how some of them have horrible designs, but that’s a pretty common thing on the internet I suppose.

Don’t Waste Time on Prize Live

N.G. Woosh — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:43:25 +0000

Prize Live never replied to my emails (I sent two through the contact form and one straight to their email address). Is it a scam? Maybe. Is it legit and just ready to ban users without a reason? Possibly. If it’s legit I can say I don’t have any proof because I was banned when I requested payment. What I can prove is that my account is “on hold” with no explanation or reply from them, and no payment was ever made to me for my earnings. You can come up with your own conclusions from that.

If the owner of Prize Live ever bothers to contact me I’ll post an update, but I don’t expect it to happen.

There are some great GPT sites out there with truly instant PayPal payments, such as CashPirate and Points4Rewards.

10/22 Update: After waiting for over two weeks I’ve finally received a reply informing me that my account was placed on hold due to what “…seems to have been a bug…”. I never received payment and such a simple reply took a lot longer than it should have. I still have no proof that Prize Live is a legitimate website and I will continue to focus on sites that I do know to be legitimate.

Prize Live – Mysterious Ban

N.G. Woosh — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 04:17:28 +0000

I cashed out my $1 referral earnings several days (before the 9th) ago from Prize Live, only to log in and find that I’ve been mysteriously banned. No explanation, no emails, just that my account is “on hold”. I’ve contacted them twice using their contact form with no reply.

The only thing I can think of that would bring about a ban is my move to Houston (IP location change or something), but placing my account on hold seems like an overreaction. An email would have been nice if this were the case.

I’ll update as soon as I hear something.

…and here I was thinking I’d be posting payment proof.
