This is so irritating.
I joined Earn-22 on April 24. I used my points from another paid to read program to advertise the site. Because a 20 cent referral bonus was added for every referral, I reached payout almost instantly. Clicked on the redemption button and then later received an email stating the 20 cent referral bonus was a mistake and the bonuses were not being counted. FINE. From advertising, I ended up getting 10 referrals, clicked on all the emails sent and many PTC?s and last night reached payout. Went to the redeem section and there's not redeem button. It's late in the evening so I decide I'll email the owner the next day. Went to go check the site this morning and almost all my earnings were gone. Nothing had been debited and nothing was in my e-gold account. I emailed the owner explaining what happened and this is the response I received the following response:
hmm... that's wierd, if I debited your account, it should show that I
have debited it. You got 10 referrals rite? I don't think it's possible
to reach payout right now, might take another 3 weeks or so.
Well I did reach payout and since it's his/her program he/she should know it's possible to reach payout. What makes me mad is I wasted my points in another GPT read program to advertise this program that I am now going to cancel. I'm certainly not going to click for another 3 weeks to have my earnings deleted again!
What I don't understand is if you plan is to rip off your members, shouldn't you have a higher payout level so that someone won't figure out what a scam you are within the first few couple of weeks of starting.
This is the first time I've been ripped of by a program, but I knew it was going to happen eventually. Life goes on.
