Got Paid Update #113 - NFO/MySurvey

Got a new payment this week from NFO/MySurvey, which has been a pretty consistent payer all along and brought my total earnings with them up to $40 since 2008.

You need to log in regularly to check, but they are pretty consistent with having surveys available and you can get that balance up to the $10 minimum ($11 for PayPal) in quick time.

That said about the PayPal, I'm also super thrilled to report that they are now paying via PayPal! To withdraw the minimum by PayPal you have to have 1100 points ($11) in your account because they subtract 100 points to pay you in that manner - which kinda sucks - but for the convenience of PayPal payments I'll deal with that. The terms say it could take 4-6 weeks but I got my payment six days after requesting, so pretty fast payment, it appears.

If you're not already a member and like doing surveys for a little extra cash, be sure to check out NFO/MySurvey!

Got Paid Update #112 - InboxDollars

So you might have guessed the other day when I reported my first payment and payment proof from SendEarnings that my next payment report and proof would come from its sister site, InboxDollars! Yep, happy to be able to report a first-time payment from InboxDollars as well, which paid me $28.76, also received on August 9th with the SendEarnings check. I cashed out at the end of June.

I'll more or less repeat what I said the other day since both sites basically work the same. It took me a long time to reach cashout level, but that's mainly because really I only do the paid e-mails with InboxDollars and SendEarnings. There are plenty of other things you can do on both sites to earn more, but my balance that took me just a little over two years to cash out on was strictly paid mails, and a little bit from filling out profile info here and there as the opportunities arose.

A neat thing about both sites is that once you reach your first cashout and once they've cut your check, your member status immediately changes to Gold Member status.

Gold Membership status benefits include random referrals, double sweepstakes entries, and the eligibility to get paid weekly instead of monthly. For me, that probably won't make a big difference (since I will probably continue to do just mainly paid mails as I have been), but it's nice to know the option is there if I needed to utilize it. And random referrals are cool.

You also (as of this writing anyway) get a $3 bonus for cashing out that carries over into your continuing account balance after payment, plus the opportunity to fill out a couple of short surveys for $2 more - so essentially you get another $5 boost into your account for the future (or $5 into each account if you're cashing out at both sites!).

Anyway, if you're not already a member, head on over and check out InboxDollars today!

Got Paid Update #111 - SendEarnings

As I've said many times before, I really love to be able to report a first time payment from a site - so it's a thrill today to be able to (finally!) be able to report I got paid in August by SendEarnings! I received my check for $27.08 on August 9th after cashing out at the end of June.

I say "finally" because it indeed took me a long time to reach cashout level, but that's mainly because really I only do the paid e-mails with SendEarnings. There are plenty of other things you can do on the site, including the more lucrative PTS (paid to sign up) offers, games, and other things, but my balance that took me just a little over two years to cash out on was strictly paid mails, and a little bit from filling out profile info here and there as the opportunities arose.

One of the kinda neat things about SendEarnings and its sister site, InboxDollars, is that once you reach your first cashout and once they've cut your check, your member status immediately changes to Gold Member status.

Gold Membership status benefits include random referrals, double sweepstakes entries, and the eligibility to get paid weekly instead of monthly. For me, that probably won't make a big difference (since I will probably continue to do just mainly paid mails as I have been), but it's nice to know that option is there if I needed to utilize it. And random referrals are pretty cool.

You also (as of this writing anyway) get a $3 bonus for cashing out that carries over into your continuing account balance after payment, plus the opportunity to fill out a couple of short surveys for $2 more - so essentially you get another $5 boost into your account for the future.

In any case, great to be able to report a brand new first-time payment! If you're not already a member of SendEarnings, check it out today!

Updates and Deletions, August 2010

Hello! I've been doing some minor maintenance this weekend and made some changes and deletions to the listed sites, both here and on the Quick List.

First, just some updates I noticed while going around to various sites and checking up on things...

Unless something's changed, DealBarbiePaysFast now offers instant payments by verified PayPal, but as there have been some problems with fraud and abuse since Barbara started offering instant payments, those wishing to do so will have to go through a verification process by the admin and be approved in order to be eligible for instant payments.

R U Ready 4 Money now offers daily PayPal-only cashout for upgraded members. The site also now offers check payment as another payment option, with a $0.50 fee.

I also noticed a change since I last looked over at Clickers-Union, which is now offering a minimum cashout of $0.85 by PayPal (AlertPay is still $1.01 minimum). There are no fees for either cashout option.

Now for the deletions... I have removed AdsForAll from both here and the Quick List as, when I made my recent rounds, I discovered my account had been deleted (presumably for inactivity). Well, if you've been here very long, you are probably well aware that I am highly against the 30-day deletion practice (thank goodness not many sites do this anymore). Deleting after 60 or 90 days? Eh, maybe... but according to my records, I last logged into the site on June 23rd, so it hasn't even been 60 days yet. In any case, this was a site I hadn't made much progress on balance-wise even though I'd been a member a pretty long time, so whatever.

I've also removed Clix 'n Cash from the listed sites after I discovered it is now forwarding to Incentria instead, so apparently it closed. At first I thought the Incentria owner must have bought it, but after sending in a support ticket I discovered this was not the case and apparently either the former CnC owner or someone that bought the domain is forwarding the old CnC domain to their Incentria referral link. Thus, it's been removed from the listed sites.

I thought the other day that YouData had finally dropped off the planet for good as I couldn't get the site to come up - it almost might as well have since it's done next to nothing since the end of April. But I'm keeping it on the list temporarily still (with a warning that the site may be closed/closing posted) and just waiting a little longer to see what happens. Pity, it was a good idea when it started.

On another note, one of my longtime favorites and top earners, Rhino Riches, appears to be down/suspended. I've asked around a bit and haven't heard anything yet and am hoping it's just a case of the server bill not having been paid or something and the site temporarily suspended, so not inclined to remove it from the list of active sites yet. I know the owner was having some stuff going on in offline life she was having to deal with. Anyway, here's hoping a temporary suspension is all it is.

My list of recommended sites seems to be getting smaller and smaller as time goes on - that's okay, I remain committed to trying to recommend only trustworthy and good quality sites that won't be a waste of your time. Granted, once in a while still one shocks me by doing something uncool, but most of the few left are longtime and established sites that have had a proven track record for years and aren't likely going anywhere.

On a final note, I do know there are still some good other general GPT sites out there that I'm just not a member of because I started limiting my number of active GPT sites some time ago, as paid to sign up offers were just something I no longer had time to do much of anymore. So just because a site's not here on the active list (especially if it's a general GPT site) doesn't mean I think it's bad or unworthy - I'm just not a member.

That said, this site and the Quick List will keep going indefinitely as long as the tried-and-true and trustworthy and established paying sites on the active list are still out there, and most of them aren't going anywhere (especially the PTRs and some of the PTC sites).

Okay - so I have some new payment proofs to post this week (two first-time-ever ones!) that I'm really excited about being able to post, so stay tuned for updates as the week progresses!

Got Paid Update #110 - ClixSense

ClixSense, glorious ClixSense! Very happy to report my latest payment from tried-and-true ClixSense, this time getting paid via AlertPay now that they finally instituted that!

Much nicer and faster, plus extra nice to only have $0.50 in fees taken out instead of instead of that huge $3 for check payment fee. That was an awful big chunk of fee to have taken out when it takes so long to reach payout at $0.01 or $0.02 per ad view.

ClixSense, MatrixMails, WordLinx, LinkGrand, and AdPaid continue to be in the forefront of my stable of most trusted and continually paying PTC/PTR sites.

If you're not already a member, check out ClixSense today!
