just a little vent here. add yours if you like. since i'm not out to try and ruin any PO's reps or programs, i wont be mentioning specifics. that being said, i've just about had it with this whole GPT/PTR/PTC business. I click my fingers to death, never cheat, and do the whole ptp thing trying to make a few bucks. I have very few referrals which makes it all the harder i'm sure, but i'm not here to complain about that.
IMHO, upgrading anywhere is truly a gamble. some sites make it so that if you DONT upgrade, you'll be lucky to cash out in 6 months - or you'll get so frustrated trying to reach it that you'll just use your earnings for redemption and they will never have to pay you! AND, if your lucky enough to reach payout WITHOUT upgrading, when you have FINALLY reached that "low" payout of $5 or $8, they come up with some excuse like my "grandmother died" etc... etc...or they come up with some other reason they can't afford to pay you. Or worse yet, you wait weeks and weeks after the request and start to wonder whats going on? Come to find out, it's one of the above reasons or the site is being sold, etc etc. That's it for now, i'm sure i'll have more to add later. And for the very few good running programs and PO's that PAY their members and give ample notice of big changes when the ship starts going down, and not running away with our money, I say THANK YOU! believe it or not, for someone like me those few dollars make a BIG difference. I am a person too, with a family to feed and I need the money i earned desperately. If i don't get paid, we will be eating pasta and pb and jelly until next months check.
The point is, you should have some kind of emergency funds available (in case of a crisis) to pay your members or you should not be a PO at all.
