We are trying to get the offers updated (dead links taken down, etc) by the end of this week or beginning of next. Lately there have unfortunately been fewer offers available for cash sights due to fraud. Thankfully, fraud has gone way down on our site, and we hope to have more new offers available from advertisers in the near future.
Please continue to promote and support mybonusbucks.com--we're not closing or going anywhere!

We have been adding some more new offers, and will be adding more tonight also.
Every one who cashed out/withdrew in April has had a bonus $3.00 added to their account, to help them reach the $20.00 minimum for cashout in May.
*Our forums have been down intermittently*. I hope to get this resolved as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience!

CASHOUT ANNOUNCEMENT--As of May 1, 2007
APPLIES TO NEW MEMBERS ONLY : As of May 1, 2007, all first payments of new United States members of mybonusbucks.com must be in check/money order form, to verify your identity and your address. If you would like to receive your first payment by paypal, you may email a copy of two utility bills or your driver's license (with sensitive information blacked out). We will not ask you for personal information other than what you have already shared by signing up at mybonusbucks.com--this information is ALWAYS kept private. This new policy has been adopted in response to an HUGE number of fraudulent U.S. memberships lately. Again, this applies to all new members as of May 1, 2007--not previous members. Members may make future withdrawals via paypal after receiving their first payments by check/money order. Check fee of $1.00 will be credited back to account for first payment--so it will not cost you to receive your payment by check/money order. International members will continue to withdraw only via paypal.

I added some new offers again. Some of them are from a new network of advertisers that I am trying. There are also a bunch of NEW freebies--so check it out.

Please do not complete offers fraudulently!
It is as disappointing to me as it is to you for an offer to get reversed or denied. Please do not complete offers fraudulently.
This means:
do not complete offers you have completed before
do not complete offers with a false credit card, name, phone number, or email address
Advertisers KNOW when you complete offers fraudulently and WILL NOT credit for them.
THANK YOU!
BTW, I understand that sometimes offers get reversed or denied for unexplainable reasons by the advertisers. I am referring primarily to users who register and complete a bunch of offers fraudulently, then withdraw and log out. This hurts our whole industry.

Offers Pending (Not Yet Credited) Information
Some people write me about offers that they have completed that have not yet been credited to them--here is my response:
1. I have no control over when and if the offers are credited, unfortunately. I DO want everyone to get their money (if you don't get paid, neither do I!).
2. Some offers take a week or two (or in rare cases, even longer) to get credited to a user's account. Please be patient.
3. This is how it works. I run offers through advertising networks that feature a variety of advertisers. I work with the networks--they in turn work with each individual advertiser. When you complete an offer, it goes to the advertiser, and it is in the advertiser's hands. The advertiser credits the advertising network for offers completed, and the advertising network credits me when they receive notice of an offer completed on mybonusbucks.com.
4. If you have not been credited, I will try to contact the advertising network to see if they can work to get you credit. DO NOT contact the advertiser directly as this action may jeopardize your chances of receiving credit at all. You must be currently participating in the offer you are requesting credit for, or you will definitely not be credited by the advertiser.
5. The advertising networks will only contact the advertisers to attempt to get credit for completed but non-credited offers that are "paid" offers. Advertisers unfortunately don't work to get credit for free offers, even though you may have completed them and all the requirements.
6. If the advertising network does not credit for an offer, it is out of my hands. I want you to get paid, but I cannot pay for offers not credited, unfortunately. I cannot reimburse you for time spent on free offers either. Otherwise the site would go bankrupt, which would not be good for you or for me!
7. Thankfully, most offers get credited! :>)

One Month of Running Mybonusbucks.com--Reflections
It is a little over a month now since I launched mybonusbucks.com. YEAH! We are up to a little over 400 members in that time. I have learned that to have a successful get-paid-to site you have to have two things: New members, and new offers (both on a regular basis!).
I will be making my first payouts this month. Most people will be getting paid through paypal, but a few members have chosen check (money orders) as their preferred payment option.
On another note, I had some new banners made up for mybonusbucks.com. Check them out on your referral banner page:

Denied or Reversed Offers :>(
I have to post about this issue because it is just as disappointing to me as it is to you when an offer is denied or reversed by the advertiser. I cannot control this. These are the main reasons it happens:
1. you are signing up with false information
2. your credit card did not go through
3. you previously completed the same offer on another site
4. for some reason, the advertiser is just denying your offer
5. you are signing up for offers that are not for your country of residence
6. you are no longer a member/participating in the offer
I have NO control over offers being denied or reversed. Unfortunately, if I do not get paid by the advertisers for an offer, I cannot credit users. I do look into all reversed or denied offers and try to get payment from the advertisers if I feel there is no good reason for them to be denied/reversed, but I am unfortunately not always successful. I do all I can however, to get your payments, but as previously stated, if I do not get paid, I cannot pay you.
On a more positive note---I hope there will not be many reversals or denials!

Updates
New offers are being added two to three times a week right now. Don't forget to cashout by the end of the month in order to be paid in April.
In case you are wondering why I did not post my contact info/name when I registered the domain name of mybonusbucks.com, it is because of personal safety and privacy, especially since I have children. :>) So if you look under the whois information, you will not find personal information.

Top Two Misconceptions about GPT Sites
1. The sites run on "auto-pilot". I have to check on www.mybonusbucks.com throughout the day. Sometimes offers expire that I have to take down. Other times I check on messages or trouble tickets. At night I try to add new offers a few times a week. Then, of course, at the end of the month I pay the users.
2. The owners are getting rich. . .LOL. . .Maybe some owners, but not this one for sure! For many offers, I make less than the users, then I have to pay for advertising, hosting, and take taxes out.
So why do I run the site? Well, it helps others earn some extra cash, and hopefully I will make enough of a profit to save up for a few needed things. Plus it gives me a diversion from watching a baby and a preschooler during the day.
This has been a good first month--I have over 150 members now. I'm happy about that, and I hope the members are happy with the site.

We're Going Global
Starting April 1, 2007, www.mybonusbucks.com will be open to international users. I have already added a number of international offers just for them. International users will be able to cash out via paypal only (no checks).
I think this will be a great move, to be able to involve our international friends in making extra cash (bonus bucks!).

New Offers Added--Check them out!
I just added ten new offers (including some freebies!). They are posted under the "This Week's New Offers" category, so be sure to check them out. I try to add new offers several times a week; the last thing I want is for the site to be become stagnant.
I know my web design isn't nearly as bright and flashy as some of my competitors, but my idea is to focus on content and customer support for now--plus, I am of the opinion that in some ways, plainer is better. I really like my logo with the buck with dollar bills on his antlers.
One of my goals for the near future is to add a category of international offers, and open up the site to international users with payment through paypal.

Why I Started MyBonusBucks.com
I started MyBonusBucks.com to help other moms and individuals earn some extra spending money at home, particularly with the trial offers and the free offers. I also thought it was a good way for people to save money on things they would buy anyway, which was why I added the shopping section.
I also started the site because I am saving up for dental work I need done. I had severe "all day" sickness with my last pregnancy, and it basically ruined a lot of my teeth. I am very self-conscious about it, but don't want to go into debt to have them fixed, so this is one way I can try to earn a little money eventually.
I realize I am competing against a lot of the huge sites out there, so I want to focus on unique promotions (like $5.00 CVS or Walmart gift cards per $100 in offers users complete), and particularly to have good customer service.
