Isabelmarco the site that we all thought as reliable and invested in does not pay standard members anymore
see their tos screenshot

Think of this. I had alot of refs there as a standard member and i made a cashout request of 20€ 20 days ago.
Of course now i lose my money and the money i invested.Must be stupid to buy premium since
no standard member will click and most refs would be inactive. This decision is the end for this site.
Please post your opinion
they claim in the forum that they did this because 99% of the standard members were cheaters. Well
i think they dont know that standard members support most ptc sites with their clicks. and they make money
by selling them to people. Anyway. thanks for reading my post. I was a bit ungry but dont you think i am right?
ps the neobux team must prepare a party tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are really stupid..Almost like the clickin.me admin =S. Whatever I can't pay the $9 fee not worth it at all. Anyways I have to wait a month for my payment =/.

Good Night, Thank you for information.
I quit to clicking link ads because isabelmarco paid upgrade members only. Lot of ptc sites might pay upgrade members compare Auto surf sites at past time.
Lot of free members felt bad or get angry. I cannot afford big upgrade membership.
Is isabelmarco scam ptc site??

I will redeem for ads i guess

I requested my first payment from them on Sept 25th, for $9.09. I'm wondering now if I'll get paid, seeing as though I requested payment before they changed their terms.
I posted it in their forum as well, as to whether or not they are going to pay me, and will post the reply I get in here, when they respond.
I for one will not be upgrading on that site, as any site that makes such a drastic change in such a small amount of time doesn't give me any confidence in them at all.
Bad move IsabelMarco, you could have at least disabled payout option until all standard members were paid, and then set it to only Premium members. That would have been the smart way to do this.

I sure am glad that I couldn't make up my mind on whether to join this site or not. They just made my decision for me. I agree with Dav7. They should pay the free members that joined before this change.

Here's what the thread has been like so far, on the IsabelMarco forum:
My Post:
I am a standard member, who requested my first payout of $9.09 back on September 25th, before the changes were made to only pay Premium members.
I am wondering if I will still be paid, or will I have to upgrade to premium in order to receive my payment?
Upon checking my history or payments, it shows the payment request with the Sept 25th date, but there is nothing under the status section, doesn't say pending or anything.
I would appreciate a prompt answer on this, as I would like to be paid the money I requested, before the TOS was changed to only pay premium members.
Thanks,
Moraelyn
IsabelMarco's Reply:
you will be paid if you are a Premium member
My Response:
So you never really answered my question. I clearly understand that premium members are the only members getting paid. What about those standard members who requested before the changes, and have a payment that still shows in the history, with blank status?
I am standard, and requested when standard members were still getting paid. Will I receive the payment I requested?
I understand that this is your site, and you can do with it what you wish, but if my payment has been cancelled becuase of these changes, then I feel it was a bad move. It would have been a smoother transition to temporarily halt all new payment requests, complete all pending payments, and THEN chnage the terms to pay only premium members.
This is eerily similar to the sudden and drastic changes made by Clickin.Me, when they cancelled all pending AlertPay payments, and decided they would only pay via Wire Transfer which requires people to give up their banking details.

Is this not against Paypal's TOS and a good way for them to stand a chance of losing their Paypal account.

Oh well another good site bites the dust. Requested my next payment yesterday morning before the TOS changes, guess I'll never see it.
Let's see how long it will take for PayPal to block IM's account for violation of their TOS...

I've joined most popular PTC's, but for some reason I just didn't join Isabelmarco... I'm never lucky, but this looks like an exception.
Sad that they change their TOS that way.. and as someone said, it's probably a desperate act after being low on cash.

Advertising starts at 6.50 so I guess that's the amount you need for ads. I'm just gonna click to that for advertising as I'm not letting that money go to waste.

I'm not sure about the converting to ads, as I have a balance of $10.10 there right now, but it will not allow me to convert to ads, as I don't have enough funds. I did request payment of $9 when they still allowed it, and apparently all payments that were requested are left pending, until you upgrade to premium. That might be why I don't have enough for ads.
I wanted to let my balance build up to a good amount, then upgrade for 1 month and get my payment, but seeing as though they are leaving pending payments in pending status until you upgrade, that means I'll only get $9 when I upgrade, and have to upgrade again for a second payment.
I'm going to just give up on them, as they have basically scammed all the lower end standard users like me, that only have 1 referral, and might make $9 every 40-50 days or so.

Another site with a not very creative method of debt reduction...
I joined about 2 months ago after reading so many rave reviews but the site has appeared to be going downhill since then.I reached $9.00 and cashed out about a week ago so I guess I can write that one off...

The time of the old slow paying PTC sites has come to an end. The time of the new improved instant payout PTC sites has begun.
This didnt come as a surprise at all, next to go is probably crewbux unless they acctually release their v4 site with instant payouts.
Howy
Oct 4 2008, 07:46 PM
I usually converted to ads even when they were paying. This was because their payouts were so slow (50 days for standard members). But I noticed that as the payout wait times increased my ad results worsened. So it's probably not even worth to redeem anymore. Unsatisfied members = bad ad results.

Wow, I really can't believe this! I always lived this site even with just a few referrals there. You always felt they were honest and the personal touch made the difference. Even worse, I just went crazy promoting their new GPT site called IM PIGGY BANK. I won't be promoting them anymore... wow...
I had every intention of upgrading there when I came back from my trip but now that I am back and I see this new development

I've thought is over and have decided to drop this program. I have been paid $9 in the past and had a request in queue. Why pay back that $9 and maybe not get paid the one in queue in the 30 days I would be upgraded, then lose the upgrade and be paid nothing. I'll just stick with the $9 I have.
There most likely would not be $9 worth of links in one month or maybe just enough to break even. Sorry to say goodbye to IM, but I think I'll drop them rather than upgrade, especially with the attitude the admin expressed in their forum towards those who just upgrade to get an old payout. If I can find the link will post it here.
Here it is ...

So at least we've clarified that I would have to be premium to receive the payment.
Now the question is:
If my payment is delayed longer than the 30 days as promised in the FAQ, and I request payment on day 1 of upgrading to premium for 1 month, what happens if my payment is delayed longer than 30 days?
I don't feel it would be fair to make me pay the $9 again, in order to get paid, seeing as though you state that payments to premium members are made within 30 days. If it's delayed, it's due to no fault of mine, so I should not be made to pay the penalty.
If the answer to this would be to make me pay the $9 upgrade for the second time, in order to receive my delayed payment, then I would like to have my payment cancelled, so I can use it for other means.
And reply from Isabelmarco

That's unfortunate that they did that :{
I have a payout pending, also. Was supposed to be paid 11.06.08, so, probably won't see a penny of it. Just another way to screw the members. Think I'm going to quit PTC and go back to PTR, at least I was making money then. Thanks for the info. Guess they have to pay for their site upgrade for DDOS attack someway. Better to take it from the members than out of their own pockets. I'm done with IM. Wonder how long it will be before all PTCs follow suit.

Just like everyone else, I am sad to see this site go. It worked wonderfully for me while it lasted, but there was no way I was going to upgrade. I just hope this isn't foreshadowing the future of other PTC sites.
