I can't believe I still haven't been paid by this crappy program. I've waited almost 110 days, and the TOS says 30?

Did you read the emails and everything else on this forum in reguards to Criton?

I guess not.

Here's in the email I received only a month ago reguarding payment, maybe you should check to see that things are right.

QUOTE
Here are some things to know about your cashout:

1/ If your account has invalid information like fake name, address etc.
Your request & account will be deleted. This is a term agreed by you when
joining.
2/ If you have no or an invalid payment account deleted, we will ignore
this request.
3/ If you request again before this request is processed, you will be
charged $1 each time.
4/ If you own muliple accounts or there is more than 1 member using the
same computer - you will be deleted.
5/ If you are using the same Paypal, Stormpay or Egold account as another
member, we will class these accounts as owned by the same person, and we
will delete both.
6/ At the moment - payments will be made within 60 days of this email's
date.


Now, I would advise you to read over the other threads reguarding Gimmemail.

Hi

I certainly wouldn't call t Gimmemail crappy.

Criton runs this site very well and always informs his members about things.

It is also a great site to advertise, very good respons and clickthru.

This is one of the better PTR sites around.

I have no knowledge of the owner persoanlly but I chunked this one months ago when I knew I was never going to reach payout. Glad I did. Nothing like waiting months for a lousy six bucks.

Hi

I do not agree.

If you click all the links Criton sends, the $ 6.00 is easy to reach.

Okay there are some searches, but it is not impossible to reach payout, even without refs.

I clicked everything to include searches and I had a one dollar sign up bonus. Ater four months and almost $4.00 I called it quits.

I have 0 refs. in this small program and it took me forever to reach where I am at now and I am still .15c away from payout. ( and I clicked every email sent even search ones and the PTC when I could remember)

But I do believe the WM will pay I think he is just having problems right now.?

I dont think you are right there...I am not to big a fan of this site...I joiend and was able to reach payout took sometime but mainly cause I finally got a referral who earned me like 35 cents but quit becuase he realized it would be impossible to reach. If you joined the program now I don't think you can reach it and I havent seen any emails in a while and only those few small ptc which takes you like a week to earn one cent.....Im waiting on my payout but I am not sure if I will ever see it espically if some of you are waiting form december.... dry.gif

Last Time I requested in december I was paid in 6 days.

Payout without refs can be reached in about 10 months at the current speed.
This is not superb , but I have seen worse.

michaellaskey
dry.gif I have been waiting a least a few months for Criton to pay this time, more close to SEVERAL months tho..I think sad.gif Criton has paid me a few times in the past, But the wait was never so.....Um....Extended. If you will unsure.gif
dgj4159
I reached payout in Nov. and was paid in Feb. for the full amount I was owed. I have been getting emails from them almost daily. May be some of you that aren't getting emails should make sure GimmeMail is in you "contact list" or whatever its called. I used to use hotmail for GimmeMail but had to change it to my Outlook Express address. Now I get them without any problem.

Hope this helps...

I can't believe people are still saying that GimmeMail is a great site that pays....blah blah blah. I have been waiting 4 months for payment! There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to be this far behind. I've sent contact mails to the PO which have not been answered, this is one site that I do not recommend to anyone, and will be quitting as soon as I am paid.

I think its safe to say that GimmeMail can be added to the ever-growing list of programs which might have been fine back in "The Good Old Days", but has gone down hill big-time.

Not only is Criton WAY BEHIND on payments, but he's been behind for months now, and has REFUSED to change his TOS to reflect the current situation.

Sending out an email saying payments now take 60 days, while the TOS still says 30 days is total BS!

Payments are to be made within the time frame stated in the TOS, not in some email sent out to members. What about people who are thinking about joining? They didn't get that email, so they'd still be under the impression that payments were made in 30 days.

If a Program Owner doesn't pay members according to the Terms, then they are lying and cheating. It's that simple.

Cheers,

Wil

If I remember right, at some pt he said he never expected the site to get so big. Was then around 18,000 I just peeked and it is closer to 12,000 now. Spring cleaning perhaps but I venture to doubt, mass exodus. That is a lot of ppl to be missing from such a "great" program. LOL
Delilah
Criton Used To Come On The Forum And Deal With Any Problems That Arose. Has Anyone Seen Him Lurking Here? Has He Addressed The Pay-out Problems In The Last Little While?
I Really Love GimmeMail....And Have Been Paid Twice Now. But....My Third Request Was Put In About A Month Ago and Like The Rest Of You, It Isn't Been Answered Yet Or Paid. Crazy Too....Because Of The Last Email That Was Sent Out About Pay-Outs, Nobody Dares Email Criton Just To See If He Really Got The Request!!! He Says He'll Delete $1 If You Request Again. Does That Mean If You Simply Email Him To Ask If He Got Your Pay-Out Request?
I HOPE CRITON REALIZES THAT HE WILL GET MUCH MORE RESPECT IF HE KEEPS HIS MEMBERS UPDATED ON THE PAYMENT SITUATION. A SIMPLE "PAYMENT WILL BE IN 60 DAYS" ISN'T ENOUGH! UNLESS HE KEEPS US UPDATED, HE WILL LOSE OUR RESPECT AS A PERSON AND WEBMASTER - AND THAT SUCKS AFTER HAVING SUCH A SUCCESSFUL SITE!

this went down as we changed to a 30 day inactivity from a 60 day inactivity. advertisers weren't happy with responses.

see - try and keep advertisers happy - members complain that we are deleting members for no reason.

try and keep members happy by giving them a 60 day inactivity rule - and advertisers complain with click-thru rate.

it is hard to please all and i know sometimes as a non-WM it is hard to understand

"gone downhill" hey wil?

well FYI, the ENTIRE PTR industry has gone "downhill". look back - there are many more sites then there was, there are many more scams then there was, so more complaints and less praises.

gimme is not having a good run, i am NOT disputing that. but just because MY goal is to get gimme back to where it was like how it was in the "good old days", then why can't i? at LEAST i am here with faith that it will! and if it takes me a little time to get the help i need to do this, then so be it - but i am not running off!

so i refuse to change the TOS - not exactly. as stated i have a goal to get it the way it was so that is why it says what it does. i update members constantly on payouts and am doing the absolute best i can. call me what you want.
tamengame
yep this is onother site this was actually closed for awhile. They shut it down due to excessive complaints ask him he will tell you. I have wqaited for payout since november so good luck

Criton, I read your post in the other thread and I hope everything works out for you. I admire the fact that you aren't giving up and that you're working to get your programs back on track.

There ain't no doubt that the whole PTR has had problems in the last 12 - 18 months. A LOT of programs have come and gone, and the number of scammers, and the number of members who are happy to work with the scammers, seems to be increasing every day.

Too many people, members and owners, act like its all just a game -- and that's really sad. Because I think with some work -- ok, a LOT of work -- PTR could be a lot more profitable for everybody.

But for that to happen, there have got to be some changes. First of all, we need to get rid of all the bent members who think this is all some kind of "get rich quick" game and who will do anything and everything they can to make as much money as they can, as fast as they can. They're doing a lot of damage, and we're all letting them by making the business so attractive to them.

And the other thing that has to happen, is that owners have got to start running PTRs as legal, legitimate businesses. I believe in your other post you claim that you do -- you even have an ABN. I think that's really cool, and I wish more owners would follow your example.

But here's the thing (you knew that was coming, didn't you?). You've got your PTR set up as part of your business, but you require anybody who wants to be a member to agree to a Terms of Service that would never stand up as a legal contract in any court in Australia. And then you admit to the fact that you, as the owner of the program, are in violation of that agreement.

Does that sound like good business to you?

Cheers,

Wil

Thanks Criton for coming on and addressing the issue. I think that is all most of us really need....besides our money! LOL.

I know it would be really tough. Understand though, that it is tough for us too! Most of us who click click click away, do so because we need the little money we get to do this! I doubt if very many people do this who actually have enough money that they don't need every penny they earn! As for me, I have been disabled for five years, and I rely on these small payments to pay my own small bills. No, don't laugh...my husband appreciates it! so when pay-out doesn't come....and doesn't come....and you fear asking about it because you were threatened with your money being cut just for asking....it's a little frustrating. It's just $10, but it's MY $10. You know what I mean?

I also kind of looked everywhere I could for payment updates - the home page, my recent emails, but couldn't find any, so that is when I usually come to the forum. Like I said, I was surprised that you hadn't addressed this problem on this thread, because whenever I have read anything about "Gimme Mail", "Criton" was always there participating. Thanks for the participation :-)

Wish you the best. Send us some site revenue links to click or something - If that will help.

I requested payout today (finally made it) lets see how longgggggg it takes.

Is there any chance we could get a date that you're up to with payouts? I'm also on BettyBucks---I'm sticking it out, perhaps out of curiousity to see if the new (again) owner will be paying. She's got a list of members and dates they requested. Actually, she's doing pretty well with her payouts, even if they are partials.

I know a list as long as you must have would be too much to post, but perhaps just tell us---on the homepage even---what date you are working on now.

People tend to say the things that have been said--some hurtful--when there is not much communication.

It's great that you're still here, still working on it as much as you can, and that you've asked for help. Not many ppl would do that. An update is all I think everyone really wants.

Hang in there Criton, things will work out :-)

Just out of curiousity (because I requested the same day), are you egold or paypal?? Do you have lots in your downlines, or perhaps many years with this site? I thought perhaps seniority might take precedence.

I'm paypal, so I don't have those egold worries others do.

I'm just curious as to why you got yours over a month ago, and I still haven't. Unless 5,000 other people requested on the same day...lol sad.gif

I'm not trying to nitpick, or be upset---I'm afraid if I am I'll be deleted for badmouthing someone or something. I would just like to know where I stand here, and if 125 days is now the payout time, or is it still 60 days, as everyone is talking about, or 30 days like it said in my email.

It does say Criton has my request (down under my credit/debit area), but in case anything happens to that, I still have my email from the redemption if it's ever needed...just let me know.
mgbland79705
It's one of the first I signed up with. Right now, I've got a whopping 78 cents in earnings! According to ThePaidHelp, I'll reach payout in December of next year. Definitely, not the fastest earner.
monia23
Hello,


just wish to say, Criton WILL pay you, as he has always done, don't worry. I haven't sent him any e-amail which he would not have answered.

So, if he needs some more time to get Gimme on the old tracks, let us give him more time and support. Because he is one of the most honest webmasters I have met, I will not leave Gimmemail.

He has always paid the FULL amount, not only 6 dollars needed to cashout.

Criton, please consider placing the revenue links in your emails, I know many of us will try to help.

Good luck, Aussie, and don't give up.

atila
But it takes tooooo long time waiting for a little 6 bucks. Interested, did he any changes in the TOS (90 days wait or 120 or 1800 maybe)?
mhaid
The following is the TOS as of this posting....looks like Criton hasn't had time to fix it yet.


"E-Gold is not always available and will depend on funds at the time of redemption. PayPal and StormPay is always well funded and redemptions can be paid much easier. gimmemail.com will pay members when their balance reaches $6 and they request payment ($1 minimum personal earnings needed for each request). First payment will be a set $6, even if they have more than $6. After the first payment, when users reach the minimum again, they will be paid their entire earnings. Payments will be made within 30 days or a reasonable time after. "


Also, yes, he's answered me too when I've emailed him...had a bit of trouble over that beginning of the year urls...thankfully it worked out well. While it takes a bit to get to the $6, you can get there. I don't plan on leaving any time soon, but since the TOS and my redemption email said 30 days--altho his latest admin email said 60---I'm at 128 days, and I could really use the money.

I understand he's a bit behind, but somewhere on this thread (I think it was this one anyway) someone else requested on Jan 12th (same day as I did) and they got paid. One has to wonder "where's mine?" Or else "does that person posting actually exist, or are they computer generated?" Actually, I think this last thing on the bingo sites...the people winning on there can't be real!! LOL

justin082005
yea I understand if he is having problems and the payments are a slight bit slower but come on when the TOS says like 30 days and his emails said 60 it should be done than.

Criton pays the entire balance at the time of paying. I had around $6+ when I requested payment sometime in January. He paid me in April the entire amount I had in my account ($12+).

Criton pays. Takes long - yes. Frustrating - Yes. But he pays smile.gif

Hi, I just wondered how things are going with Gimmemail. We haven't heard anything for about a month, and it looks like the emails are back to normal. That's a good thing smile.gif .

Any schedule on payouts yet? Such as, what request date are you up to, or are you doing random payouts?

Sorry if this bugs you Criton, but I just wondered, as I'm sure a lot of us are wondering. I didn't want to add to the many feedback emails you must get every day---nine thousand people are a lot to take care of!!! I figured this was easier for you to find.
