This is the last week of the month of March--don't forget to withdraw your cash through check or paypal for payment in April.
Also, check payments for April will be made via US Postal Money order for this month. Another note: new offers will be added today and tomorrow, and there will be a new referral contest soon.

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.
