Spotlight On: FusionCash

I admittedly had been sorta down on and felt somewhat negative towards FusionCash for several years now, but I've become much more positive about and thrilled with the site of late. I'm not sure if the changes and improvements in the site that have made me feel more positive towards it have actually been there in place for a long while or more recently, because I just hadn't been a very regular visitor/user there in several years.

FusionCash was actually one of the first, if not the very first, site I worked on and cashed out on, but after my first cashout, I was finding it hard to find enough to do there to get my balance back up close enough to the site's $25 minimum cashout. By then I had found lots of other sites with lower cashout levels and plenty to do to earn on, so I mostly ignored FusionCash and spent my efforts elsewhere.

In any case, a couple of months or so ago I took some time to poke around the site at length for the first time in ages, mainly to see what I might be able to do to be able to get my balance up closer to what is what I generally consider an overly high cashout minimum (which was pretty much the reason I had stopped being very active there). For a while there, it just seemed like too much trouble or nearly impossible to reach their $25 minimum cashout very efficiently or on any regular basis, so I just mostly stopped visiting except for purposes of keeping my account active.

And, over the years, I lost quite a bit of referral commissions and payments for offer completions in the process since, unlike most other sites, your offer completions on FusionCash expire after 180 days (~ six months) if you don't or aren't able to make a withdrawal. I basically lost somewhere around or over $35 since 2008 due to those earnings having expired.

So upon visiting again a few months ago, I was really pleased a few months ago to discover that FusionCash had made additions and improvements that actually make it pretty simple to increase earnings regularly that are much more to my liking - i.e., a fairly small amount of effort daily or so.

I think I had less than a dollar in my balance when I started getting more active on FusionCash again in April, but since April 8th, I've managed to get my balance up over $15 with really only a fairly small amount of time and effort every day (or almost every day). At that rate, I could pretty easily pocket about an average extra $75 yearly, give or take, in virtually free money - and probably more, of course, if I wanted and had the time to put forth more effort.

How have I made $15 or so in less than three months? Well, I was already signed up for their Daily Cash Email, which is $0.02 daily for a minute or two's effort. Then basically I've been earning the rest daily or so with their daily Paid to Click, which is a whopping $0.15 per day; watching a few videos, which earns another $0.01 to $0.02 per video; and their FC Surveys, also found on the Daily Offers section, which pay $1 to $3 and sometimes even more per survey if you qualify for the survey. In addition, most of the FC Surveys also pay you a $0.01 bonus even if you don't qualify for the survey.

All of that can really add up over time, and that's just stuff from the Daily opportunities page, which also has tasks, a toolbar you can install and earn from, and several other things. So that's not even counting all the other sections of offers on the site!

Anyhow, I'm way closer to cashing out at FusionCash again than I have been in many years thanks to all this stuff, so I'm feeling much more positive towards the site again these days and actively working it again.

Another sort of difference with FusionCash as opposed to most other similar sites is that you can cash out at $25 or above, but at least $15 of your balance must be from offer completions - which was another reason I had so much trouble getting anywhere close to cashing out again there before. I had money from referrals and some other earnings from a few offer completions, but just never enough for their cashout requirements.

The $0.01 bonuses from the disqualified FC Surveys don't count, but I still have at present nearly $14 in offers, so again, I am way, way closer to being able to cash out there again than I have been in years and years (I haven't cashed out there since 2008).

UPDATED & CORRECTED INFO, 07/12/2013: FusionCash pays by PayPal (1-3 days), check, or bank direct deposit. Yet another difference (as opposed to most sites nowadays) is that they still only do cashouts once a month, and pay you on or around the 20th of the following month for any cashout you make the previous month. (Example: If you cashout any time in July, you will be paid on or around the 20th of August.)

FusionCash now accepts members from Canada, as well as the United States. (Not sure when they added Canada, but apparently they did since the last time I checked!)

I finally feel good again about recommending FusionCash, after all of their additions and improvements since I last really paid attention, and actually, this experience has motivated me to go poke around some of the other sites I still promote and recommend but haven't been very personally active on in years (again, mainly due to higher cashout minimums) to see what they too may have added to make earnings easier since I last thoroughly reviewed the site! Stay tuned!

(And as mentioned in recent posts, I still have a rather large announcement upcoming (but it's not quite ready yet), so keep checking back! I'm excited and I hope you will be too!)

Spotlight On: ClixSense

So I have basically just fallen in love with old tried-and-true ClixSense lately. ClixSense has not only remained one of the most active sites out there (and more active than ever lately, it seems), but they have made so many awesome improvements and additions to the site over the last couple of years that it's become unbelievably easy to get to cashout minimum, and quickly.

I admittedly spent years being semi-ambivalent about the site, and even quite frustrated with it on occasion. For several years, it took so long to reach cashout, plus they onIy paid once a month, and even as an upgraded Premium member, it was tough to get to cashout level.

Then I was especially annoyed when they started deactivating inactive accounts - not hard to reactivate, but during the long period that I wasn't very active anywhere, I found myself marked inactive again and again and it was just a pain in the neck.

But now I'm all about how great ClixSense is these days. It's awesome now! I've even been paid twice in the last two and a half weeks (probably could have been paid three times in two weeks if I'd really wanted to, but I let one payment opportunity slip past me and requested it a few days later).

One of the biggest improvements they made a while back was lowering their cashout level to both standard (free) and Premium members, and increasing the frequency of payments.

In my early years doing this stuff, the site had a $20 cashout and you could only get paid monthly by check, plus they took a pretty big fee out of payments (something like $2, if I recall correctly), so it took a really long time to get to cashout level and then you had that huge fee taken out, which was really frustrating. For a long time, it ranked about 3rd or 4th place with me among its peers because of all that.

Then they lowered cashout quite a bit, and then lowered it again quite a bit MORE, to where cashout minimum is now only $8 for standard (free) members and $6 for Premium members, AND started paying lots more often, now paying twice weekly (on Mondays and Fridays) via PayPal, Payza, or Liberty Reserve. They still have a check option once a month ($10 minimum, plus they do still take out a $1.50 fee for check payments), but honestly, why bother waiting if you don't have to?

They also now only take out a relatively small fee for online payments (1% to 2.5%, depending on your chosen payment method) now, so that's great too. It's nowhere near painful to cashout like it once was, seeing all those dollars taken out of smallish checks.

All of these awesome improvements with their payment system has really upped ClixSense in my opinion, and not only that, they have made so many great additions to the site and improvements with ways to earn, it's really gotten pretty easy to be able to cash out at least weekly, if not twice a week!

Look for the Daily Checklist Bonus - that alone can get you to cashout level a lot quicker than normal, and really doesn't take a lot of time to do daily.

Besides always having PTC ads (more daily if you're upgraded), there's a rather large amount of paid offers available as well as the addition of Tasks - some of which I rarely have interest in but some of which I generally make a point of doing several daily, and those Task payments can really add up.

Then there's the ClixGrid, where you can take your chances and win up to $5 daily. And tons of other stuff too. The site is just loaded with earning activities these days!

The Premium upgrade has increased from what it once was (though pretty much every site's upgrade has increased, for the most part) to $17 yearly, but I still recommend it. The upgrade is still well worth it and really does give you a boost to getting to cashout level much more quickly.

Here's the basic stats on ClixSense, to reiterate:

• $8 minimum cashout for Standard (free) members, $6 for Premium (upgraded) members
• Cashout $10 if by check (Canada/US/Mexico) or $100 (rest of world), $15 if by Liberty Reserve
• Payment via PayPal, Payza (formerly AlertPay), Liberty Reserve, or check (fees apply to all payments)
• Payments twice weekly on Mondays & Fridays except for check payments (once monthly)
• Pays $0.001 or more per ad viewed, up to $0.02
• Easy daily bonus available via ads, ClixGrid, forum reading, and tasks and/or offers
• Varying referral levels & options dependent on membership type/type of ad viewed by referrals
• Lots of offers as well, and other ways to earn
• Premium upgraded members receive referral commissions on 8 levels
• Members welcome from all countries except: Afghanistan, Algeria, Antarctica, China, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, North Korea, Niger, Sri Lanka, Vietnam

In any case, all the great improvements to ClixSense over the last year or two have just really impressed me and been very lucrative lately, and I am in the process right now of having earned more there in just the last couple of months than I did in my first four years as a member thanks to all these neat improvements and additions.

You're probably already a member (the site has thousands of members), but if you're not? Do yourself a favor and check out ClixSense today!

Spotlight On: Bank Roll Bucks

So for the first time in a long time, I have a "new" GPT site to add... although it's not really new, and I'm so very, very excited to make this post! I've been meaning to actually for over a year now, but being so swamped the last couple of years kept me from re-signing up and being able to post this.

Anyway, without further ado, I'm so very, very pleased to be able to recommend to you again what has been my all-time favorite GPT site for years, Bank Roll Bucks, which reopened back in 2011 after the admin took some time off from the GPT world with a new baby.

Bank Roll Bucks is not only a favorite because it's such a great site with such a terrific admin - it also is one of my top paying sites of all time. Between April of 2008 and September of 2009, I earned and was paid over $100 total from Bank Roll Bucks.

One of the reasons it is easy to increase your balance on the site is because there are not only always lots of offers, but the site admin has always been vigilant about making sure the offers at Bank Roll Bucks are active and good ones, and weeding out any bad/poor ones. New offers are added to the site daily.

In addition, there's plenty more to do at Bank Roll Bucks, with 20+ daily surveys available (survey earnings on GPT sites can really add up); daily, weekly, and yearly promos, and much more. There are also lots of fun games available, including Slots, Bingo, Pick a Pair (always been my favorite), and Spin A Rama. There are also PTC (paid to click) ads on the site.

Bank Roll Bucks has a minimum cashout of $1, and payments are made via PayPal, Amazon gift certificate, or check. Payments are made daily except for checks, which are mailed weekly on Fridays. There are three referral levels (25%, 5%, and 1%).

In addition, there are some really cool bonuses! You earn a free bonus when any of your referrals complete their first offer, and a $1 bonus for every 25 offers you complete.

Members are welcome at Bank Roll Bucks from these countries: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, and Germany.

And probably the most important of all, Bank Roll Bucks is run by an absolutely trustworthy and wonderful admin who has been well-known, active, and helpful in the GPT community for a long, long time, and who is always quickly and easily available to the site's membership. I just could never say enough good about Jennifer, and she truly cares about the integrity of the site, her members, and the GPT community in general. Truly a topnotch GPT admin!

And in fact I have said tons good about her and Bank Roll Bucks in the past - you can find those old posts (all 100% positive) in the closed site section if you want to know more.

In short, when it comes to Bank Roll Bucks, you just can't go wrong - always my absolute highest recommendation ever when it comes to Get Paid To sites!

Not a member yet? By all means, head over there right away and join Bank Roll Bucks today!

PaidTheFastest

PaidTheFastest is another site I've had on the list to review for a while and just hadn't gotten around to yet.

PaidTheFastest is basically a general GPT but has quite a different look and feel to it. They have fairly liberal use of promo codes as well as jackpots and many other ways to earn.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Cashout is a $1 minimum and paid instantly (within 24 hours) via PayPal. Payment is now also available by Amazon gift certificate at $5, paid weekly. There is one referral level of 20%.

UPDATED 03/04/2013: It appears that PaidTheFastest is now open to some other countries besides the US, though I'm not sure which ones, probably Canada, UK, Australia - not sure where else. You can try & register & see if yours is one of them.

CashPirate

CashPirate is a new site that opened up earlier this month that got such a good thumbs up recommendation from a favorite GPT blogger, I decided to check it out myself. First off, it's a really nice site graphically and technically and very different from what you're used to seeing around. The site at this time is pretty much all offers & contests, for the most part.

UPDATE 03/02/2013: CashPirate now has instant PayPal payments available with a $1 minimum, Amazon gift certificate paid weekly with a $1 minimum, or withdraw by eBay or Wal-mart GC (both available daily) with a minimum $10 withdrawal. Referral earnings continue to be one level at 20%, and CashPirate currently offers a $0.10 signup bonus.

UPDATE 03/04/2013: It appears that CashPirate is indeed open to some other countries besides the US; it appears it is open to Canada, UK, Australia, but I'm not sure whether there are others. You can try & register & see if yours is one of them.

In any case, it's kinda neat and something different, and you can't much beat instant PayPal payments, and they've already paid someone I know so looking forward to working with this one some in the future.

Join CashPirate and check out this brand new site today!

DollarClickOrSignup

UPDATE 03/02/2013: DollarClickOrSignup has been through a lot of changes since this was originally posted, so hopefully I can touch on the important ones in this update. I do continue to keep it in my active site rounds.

UPDATE 07/08/2013: DCOS is now paying via PayPal again! $1 minimum cashout is available via PayPal or Payza with instant payments available. There's also an option to cashout ($5 or $10) via Amazon gift certificate, or cashout minimum of $10 or $15 via Wal-mart gift card.

The site continues to have paid to click (PTC) offers on site, and has one referral level of 50%. Members are welcome from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

JillsClickCorner

I recently joined JillsClickCorner and whoa - talk about a LOT of PTC ads! Pages upon pages upon more pages!

JillsClickCorner has been around for a few years (i.e., likely not going anywhere like so many do). It pays up to 1 cent per ad though most are lower, but still - there are SO many! Upgraded members, as usual with PTC, can earn more. There are PTS offers as well, and many other ways to earn here on this multi-activity site. There is one referral level here of 10%.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Minimum cashout is now $1 via PayPal, $1.06 via Payza, and between $0.10 to $1 for several other payment processors the site has available (including Liberty Reserve).

International members are welcome here. This one is also affiliated with the DonkeyMails/etc group of sites, which do pay, so I feel confident about this one as well. Check out Jill's Click Corner today!

DealBarbiePays

Now that I've been doing this for a while, some of you might have been wondering why in the world I hadn't gotten around to listing any of the DealBarbie network of sites, which are all very popular in the industry, and the owner has a great reputation for being and honest and paying admin.

Well, the answer to that (why I hadn't listed any of them yet) is because DealBarbiePays was one of the first sites I joined, and then for whatever reason I got more active on other sites and it kind of fell by the wayside with me for a while and, well, now here I am finally getting back to it! Since I initially joined and all that way back when, I have become acquainted with the admin via other industry discussion forums and such, and have started getting a little more active on those sites again.

In any case, it's just such a great group of sites, and with such a good reputation for honesty and being paying sites, that I would be really remiss to continue on without having listed them yet, so here we go!

We'll start with DealBarbiePays, where I first joined way back when. Tons of contests on this site always, lots of 1-cent PTC on site, two referral levels (20% & 10%) - lots of good stuff, and also a $5 signup bonus!

UPDATED 07/09/2009: The DealBarbie network of sites underwent a sale at the beginning of the month and was sold to an established and trusted owner in the community. One major change to the the site that is really nice - DealBarbiePays now has instant, fee-free PayPal payments available whenever the cashout minimum is reached. Check and gift card payments will be paid twice monthly on the 15th & 30th of every month.

UPDATED 05/21/2009: DealBarbiePays is now open to members in the US, UK, and Canada.

UPDATED 11/04/2009: DealBarbiePays has eliminated the payment by check option, but has added Wal-Mart and iTunes gift cards to available payment options.

UPDATED 06/27/2010: The DealBarbie sites are now owned by respected owner Barbara Norris, longtime owner of AnythingFreeForYou. Payment terms have changed to Net 35 and pays by check, PayPal, AlertPay, Revolution Money Exchange, direct deposit, & Wal-Mart or Amazon gift cards/certificates.

UPDATED 09/24/2010: Cashout at DealBarbiePays has been decreased to a $10 minimum.

UPDATED 03/02/2013:  Once again there's been a ton of changes to the site since I last updated, and really so many changes over the years I about can't keep up. The major ones: Members who joined after January 1st, 2011, can cash out at $5; those who joined prior to that date can cash out at $5 dependent on number of offers done, otherwise cashout is $20.

Payment is now available within 24 hours. Payment methods available are PayPal, Payza, check, direct deposit (with approval), and a number of gift certificate/gift card options. There are still two referral levels, but now at 10% and 5%.

DealBarbiePays has been awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval by BeenPaid.com.

QuickRewards

I need to get a little better organized, because I somehow accidentally stuck my link to QuickRewards in the wrong place, and just recently found it via another list of stuff I had 'cause I discovered I had earned some change through mails from QuickRewards. Oops!

QuickRewards is another one with a lot of good word of mouth and favorable comments out there on the 'Net. Some of the big pluses about it is the fact that there's a LOT of very different stuff you can do, on site and off, to earn cash and other goodies. It also has a number guessing game & a trivia game that you can play daily that I like a bunch.

There are different earnings for different things on the site - you can rack up cash, points (which you can redeem for cash in 100 point increments), and tokens (redeemable for prizes). At 100, the points will automatically turn to cash and I've watched my balance go up a couple of cents just in a day this week that way. They have paid mail and paid to click (PTC) opportunities as well.

QuickRewards has no minimum cashout by PayPal and can be requested anytime ($5-25 cashout minimum for gift certificates). Payment is usually within 24-48 hours. They also offer gift certificate options. QuickRewards members must be from the US, UK, or Canada only.

QuickRewards has been awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com.

This site is a little different from the rest and there's definitely a LOT you can do, so go check out QuickRewards today!

TreasureTrooper

There are dozens of different things you can do on TreasureTrooper to pick up cash and many other things I haven't quite figured out yet, but among the things you can do are offers, surveys, shopping, games. There's actually a lot about this site I haven't quite figured out how exactly it works and am still discovering and investigating. So far I've racked up $3.00 here.

TreasureTrooper is open to US members as well as those outside the US, though like many of these sites that are open to non-US members, they warn that some offers may not be available to those outside of the United States. There is a $20 minimum cashout for TreasureTrooper, payable by check or verified PayPal. Two referral levels here of 20% and 5%.

It's a cute and humorous site, and again, if you like games - you'll probably dig TreasureTrooper a bunch!

ClixSense

On ClixSense, you basically get paid to view 30-second  (or less) ads and must go to the site to view them. You can rack up a minimal amount, or there are many opportunities to increase your earnings.

UPDATED INFO 03/03/2013: Minimum cashout at ClixSense is now $8 for Standard members and $6 for Premium (upgraded) members if by PayPal or Payza, and payments are now made twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays (there is a 2% fee for PayPal payments and a similar fee for Payza). Payment is also available Liberty Reserve, but with a $50 minimum cashout and 1% fee; these are also made twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. Payment by check is still available with payments made monthly (first Monday of every month); $10 minimum (+$1.50 fee) for check payments to the US, Canada and Mexico; $100 (+$2 fee) for check payments to anywhere else in the world.

Also, within the last year or so ClixSense has instituted a deactivation process for inactive accounts. It doesn't appear that they are deleting inactive accounts totally, and it's easy to reactivate your account once marked inactive, but I would recommend logging in at least once a month to keep active.

In addition, I would be remiss in not mentioning in this update how much ClixSense has expanded their site in recent years to give you more ways to earn via the ClixGrid game, tasks, more offers, and much more. It is very easy to meet the minimum requirements on the Daily Checklist Bonus each day (look for it on the right hand side of your account page when logged into the site), and especially now since the minimum cashout has been lowered over the last couple of years, those daily bonuses can really add up to quick cashouts!

UPDATED INFO 06/24/2012: You earn $0.001 and up to $0.02 per ad viewed at ClixSense; the referral structure has changed quite a bit over the last 3+ years, but in general, as well as getting paid per referral click, there are referral signup commissions (for Premium members only) and referral upgrade commissions for both Standard and Premium members. Premium members get paid through eight tiers for referrals who also upgrade; Standard members get paid for only one tier (direct referrals who upgrade). Upgrade to Premium status is $17 a year, but you generally get a lot more ads than a Standard member and an opportunity to make more on referrals, as well as other benefits. Highly recommend this upgrade, you make lots more and faster that way!


UPDATE: ClixSense rocks - and the yearly upgrade is totally worth it. See all my later posts about the ClixSense upgrade in the "Where It Pays to Upgrade" section of the site.

CashCrate

I like CashCrate a lot - it's a really nicely technically done website, and being a web geek, that really appeals to me.

This GPT site always has plenty of offers and is clear and concise about it. It's open to US members and those outside the US (though they warn all offers might not be available to those outside the US).

UPDATE 09/02/2008: As of 09/01/2008, CashCrate now has a $20 monthly minimum by check and also added PayPal as a payment option. If you've made the $10 or more, they'll cut the check at the end of the month - you don't have to request it like many other sites. If you're getting one at the end of the month, they say you should receive it by mid-month the next month.

CashCrate also offers two referral levels (20% and 10%) and some nice perks and automatic upgrades when you have a certain number of referrals - read more on the site for more info.

Join CashCrate today - it indeed does pay!

UPDATE: Paid on 05/24/2008 - $10.21

FusionCash

FusionCash is my favorite right now 'cos... well, they've paid me! I spent a pretty short maybe four or five hours total in February on the site and got paid a little over $67 on March 10th.

The minimum cashout is $25, at least $15 of which must come from completed offers.

They do offer payments by verified PayPal, check, and direct deposit with no fees for any of the methods.

Referral bonuses: $1 bonus for every referral who confirms their e-mail address; $2 bonus when a referral completes their first offer; $5 bonus (forever) whenever a referral cashes out.

They were the first GPT site I really spent any time on and as you can see, I didn't spend that much time at all yet still managed to make nearly $70. Even bigger opportunities on this site if you can afford to do more than just the 100% freebies. I highly recommend FusionCash, join today!
