End of the month!

Don't forget to cashout/withdraw your funds from mybonusbucks.com by April 30, in order to be paid in May.

Also, I have divided the trial offers up into categories, to make things easier for you--categories are $5.00 and under; $5.00-$10.00; over $10.00.

Contest winner of April sweepstakes will be announced in May, so be watching!

Our forums are down today for some reason; they should be up by tomorrow by the latest.

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.

New Offers

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.

It isn't long now before I will be sending out my first payments for www.mybonusbucks.com! I am excited about it. I will be contacting the members who qualify for a CVS or WALMART gift card within the next few days to see which they would prefer.

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! :>)

HAPPY EASTER

Also, HAPPY EASTER to all mybonusbucks.com users. :>)

Thank you for helping to make this a successful new site so far.

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:
