This is a quick page for all the latest updates from my recommended PTC sites.

June '09:
Please check out my Scam Alerts page for updates.
So far, I only have 4 PTC sites that I click for - Neobux (the best!), TheClickers, Bux-Matrix and Bomblogic.
I'll be adding other sites to the list once I've seen that they're reliable.

04/23/09:

Ara-Bux - What the hell?! They closed down their site and they've been asking for donations from members. Now, they haven't updated their page yet and I doubt they'll ever come back. So, watch out for these scammers 'coz I bet they'll be opening up a new PTC site soon, if they haven't yet. Tsk tsk.

03/11/09:

Neobux - They have a new limit now for direct referrals. Click here to read it straight from their forums.
30 direct refs only for Standards and we can only have direct refs after we've been a member for 30 days and we've clicked at least 100 ads. I've been a long time member so no problems with that. I'm planning to upgrade anyway so I'm okay with this new rule. And they're my # 1 PTC site so no problemo.

Ara-Bux - I'm still waiting for my payment. I didn't know I have to wait 30 days for me to pass the audit then another 30 days to receive the payment. It's been over 2 months now. Hmmm... I'm still hoping I'll get paid.

02/22/09:

Ara-Bux - Implemented limits for referrals for all members, which I think is okay.
Standard members: 50 direct/500 rented referrals.
Premium members: 250 direct/1500 rented referrals.

01/27/09:

247Bux - I've requested a month ago for payment. They cancelled all requests after they implemented the "instant payout" for Premium. Now, I've been trying for days to cash out but it keeps giving me an error that the payment limit has been reached. Sheesh! With this kind of payment process, I don't think I'll get paid. I'll try again until the end of the month. If I still can't get paid, I'll quit this site.

01/13/09:
DailyCent - I requested for automatic payout the other day, I'm still waiting for it. Hmmm... I'll stop clicking for them.

PerformanceBux - Forum is down. I wonder why. I was supposed to check out their inactive referral replacement forum but can't find the forum. I hope they're not a bunch of scammers. Gosh.

247Bux - I'm still waiting for my payment. My payment queue hasn't moved for 3 days now. Hmmm... are they going to pay me at all?!

Ara-Bux - Also requested for payment from them in December. Still waiting. I hope they'll pay me within the time they said they will for Standard members.

TakeTheGlobe - I'm also still waiting for that $10 I requested from them. *Sigh* This is why I love Neobux.

01/11/09:

ThinkBux - Forum is down. Last month, they reset all members' balance to 0. They're re-launching the site to offer instant payments to Premium members. Now.. hmmm.. scam alert!?

01/07/09:
I have stopped clicking for a lot of PTC sites. Only the ones listed here are left standing. So, stick to my recommended PTC sites.

12/15/2008:

BuxOut - This was a shocker! They closed down the site. Wow. Didn't expect it, really. Now, I only have 2 PTC sites that I trust the most - TakeTheGlobe and Neobux. Tsk tsk. I was really looking forward to my payout from BuxOut.

12/06/2008:

SandraClicks - The owner decided to close down the site. I knew this is gonna happen... I had high hopes for their site. Tsk tsk. If you invested with them recently, you can still get a refund.

11/24/2008:

OsoBux, OldSchoolBux, NeroBux - Same owner who seems to be ready to run after scamming everyone with their referral sale. Owner says he's selling the site. Stop clicking for all these sites! Removed them from my recommended list.

SandraClicks - Site will continue even after the admin's girlfriend passed away. (my sincere condolence @ SandraClicks admin)


11/21/2008:

ClickersCompany - Site is still down. Tsk tsk. Moved them and AdAndEl on scam alerts.

11/17/2008:

AdAndEl - Their site is down. When you go to their page, it says their hosting account has been suspended. Their forums have been down for weeks so let's see what's going to happen with them.



TheClickers - Update on minimum payout on their forums:
New minimum Payouts
PayPal $6 minimum amount $5.5
Alertpay $5minimum amount $5.5

Every member can request and receive payout anytime but max 2 times per month.
For members that already have received more than 10 Payouts, minimum payout is $10

We plan to reduce our minimum Payout for your first payout to $4, $5 for 2nd to 5th
6$ for 6th to 9th and $10 after that.



11/14/2008:

CrewBux - Standard members can't buy ads thru their balance and won't get paid until they upgrade. What the hell? And they have to invest 50% of their earnings. Soon to be scam site for me.

Ara-Bux - Only members who actively click will get paid. Here's a direct quote from their TOS:
"Only members who actively click on advertisements will be paid (At least 30 advertisement clicks in a 10 day period, or an average of 3 advertisement clicks per day since you registered)."


AdAndEl - Forums are still down. I just requested for payout today. Something smells fishy but I'll keep you posted for any updates.

ClickersCompany - Their site has been down for days now. They said they'll be back on the 17th. Hmmm...
"We come back the 17 november with a new script, new design, dedicated server and again more feature, 50 cts will be add to all members in their balance. Plesase accept our apologies for this down but it's to come back better than before."
I think this is the 4th time their site has been down for the past 2 weeks. Hmmm...

ThinkBux - The payment grid really sucks. And my guess is I won't really get any money I earned from them. Or it will be a LONNNNGGG wait. Hmmm... I'm thinking about removing them from my list. But, we'll see.

11/06/2008:

SandraClicks - Site is down for maintenance.

ClickersCompany - Site is also down for maintenance but the error page says suspended. Hmm... what's wrong with this PTC site?!

11/05/2008:

IdealBux IS a SCAM site.
Admin cancelled all payments to Standard members, including mine (which was dated 10/08/08). Now, he wants everyone to invest before they get paid. Just a few days ago, he said he'll pay those who requested before 11/01/08. Stop clicking!!!

11/03/2008:

ClixMX - Site already closed! If you go to the site, you'll read the owner's explanation. All members who returned after October 16th and invested on the site will be paid. Owner will be using his own money to pay off members who invested. Tsk tsk. How sad. The admin sounded really trustworthy.

IdealBux - They increased the minimum pay-out amount to $5.00. Only premium members will be paid now. Only $8.99/year. Now, all Standard members who requested BEFORE November 1 should still receive their payment, according to the admin. Read the news here.

BayBux - Admin announced that all requested payments will be sent out today, 11/03/08. I'm still waiting for mine so I hope I'm included on their list. I'll post the payment proof here.

BombLogic - It's been 5 days that I haven't seen any ads for Standard members. Hmmm...

ClickersCompany - Standard members now need $3.00 to request payments, while the old limit of $1.50 is only for Premium members. Also, Standard/Free members need to wait 20 days for the payments.

247Bux - They'll start paying Premium members instantly.

10/31/2008:

AdAndEl - Forum is back up but members can't still login due to maintenance.

BuxOut - version 2 was officially launched on 10/29/08. Site is faster now. Lots of new features will be introduced soon.

BuxEast - increased referral click for Premium members to 100%. Still no ads available due to maintenance.

OldSchoolBux - Problems with payments that were reversed through AlertPay. Admin advised that it was because of a scammer in AlertPay. They requested for a member to exchange their PayPal balance with AlertPay balance. That person was a scammer and because of this, AlertPay reversed all their payments and blocked the account. Read the topic here. Members were requested to send an email to Alertpay regarding this concern.

10/27/2008:

MainBux & TheRichCash - Both sites have the same owners/admin. I did a WHOIS lookup of their domain and...
Registrant:
michal schuh
chodska
praha, 12000
CZ
Same registrant = same owners. MainBux admin abandoned the site. Late payments complaints from TheRichCash and MainBux members. The ads TheRichCash members can click are MOST probably just the owners' ads. Tsk tsk.

ARA-Bux - ALL referrals were also deleted. So, anyone who signed up under me (hitendra and pralaut) were removed from my downline. Tsk tsk.

BuxEast - No available ads since yesterday due to the bugs when loading the ads. I'll keep you posted. New updates with payments/withdrawals. Read my review on this site on my complete list of recommended PTC sites.

ClickersCompany - They're moving to a new server so site is completely down.

ClixMX - There's a daily withdrawal limit. If you requested after the daily limit has been reached, your request will be moved on to the next day or until it's within the limit of a certain day following the day you requested. So, their TOS won't apply anymore.

NeroBux - Site is down, moving to a new server. Hmmm... their site has been down more than 3x in the past month.

10/25/2008:

Bux.To IS a SCAM site.
Read the information from TakeTheGlobe admin and here and here


10/22/2008:

NeoBux - Paypal purchases have been enabled again. Cash-outs are still through AlertPay.

Uniclix - Admin decided to just sell the site instead of having members wait and wait for their payments. Now, he's running off with everyone's money. Nice move. He said he can't maintain the site anymore because of his studies. Apparently, he needs a lot more time to grow up.

TakeTheGlobe - A member just received $6,580.17 from TTG. This means that they can handle big investments and they're still the best PTC site today. Great news!

ARA-Bux - The admin responded to my inquiry advising me that they cannot restore my stats. I hope they learn a lesson from this latest hack attempt. They should backup more often! Sheesh!! Rating is lower now.

247Bux - If you requested for cash-out, that amount will be deducted from your balance but you won't lose the money. Members have been complaining about this and admin just posted this announcement today. Anyone complaining about it will be banned (why?!) and will not be paid anymore.

InsaneBux - Site is back up. Forums are still down. New upgrades are being implemented.

10/19/2008:

ThinkBux - All Standard members should post in their forums to request for pay-out. Queue will be based on this list.

ClixMX - Site is back up, with new design and upgrades. Members need to set a PIN for their account. Some maintenance and updating is happening with the site so just report any bugs in their forums.

247Bux - I'm finally done with the verification of both my Paypal and AlertPay accounts. Now, my balance was reset to 0. I already posted this in their forums. Hopefully, they'll fix it within this week.

ARA-Bux - Their forum is up. Admin announced all balance will reset to what it was on Sept 29th. If you didn't post it on Daily Stats, there's no way for them to reset your balance to what it should be before the hack attempts. Hmmm... what if this happens again in the future? So, I'll just say goodbye to the $2.01 I made from 10/03/08 to 10/15/08? (Wasn't able to click from 9/29 to 10/02)

BayBux - TOS change: Standard members will be paid within 30 days (and I requested pay-out 6 days ago so let's see if that won't affect my request) and within 7 days for Premium. Their minimum pay-out amount was also changed to $5.00.

InsaneBux - Site is down. Domain seems to be not registered anymore. Hmm... What's up? Is InsaneBux a scam site now? I'll keep you posted.

IceBux - Site is down and is owned by someone new. They will be updating/upgrading the system so site is under construction.

CrewBux - Anyone opening a dispute or claim in Paypal against Crewbux will be banned and account will be deleted. However, members are against this because some might have valid reasons for doing so.
Staff Jynchou posted an update that they're working on Instant pay-outs too. Let's see what's gonna happen.

UniClix - Admin has not been active in the forums since October 1st. Placed them on Scam Alerts.

10/19/2008:

MainBux - I am no longer recommending them because of the recent decision of their admin to pay late like BuxTo. I suggest you stop clicking for them until members have been paid and they changed this decision.

10/16-18/2008:

ARA-Bux - Site is down due to hack attempts. Corrupted database and their only secure backup was back on September 29th. All history will be reset to what it was on Sept. 29th. Whoa. No resolutions yet for the balance reset so if that happens, I'll lose $2+. Tsk. They better have a solution to that. Site and forum will be back on October 24th.

AdAndEl - Their forum is still down. Members can still click, though. Hmmm... any news? I'll keep you posted.

247Bux - I finally received the activation code after retrying today. They don't accept PayPal for now. All payments, purchases will be through AlertPay.

BuxEast - Site is back up on 10/17. Chinese members need to upgrade to continue membership. Instant payments now. Hmmm... let's see. I'm kinda skeptical now because their site has been down twice for the past 2 weeks.

BuxTo - I have decided to NOT recommend BuxTo anymore due to late payments. There are members who have been waiting for 10 months for payments. Yes, they do pay but the waiting time is just too much for anyone to bear. So, I will keep on clicking here but JUST to convert my balance to ADS.

ClickersCompany - Standard/free Chinese members can't have free referrals, only bought. Premium Chinese members can only have up to 25 free referrals (direct) plus their bough refs. They're also working on instant payments and purchases.

10/15/2008:

NeoBux - PayPal lifted the limit on their account. The admin is very thankful for all the petitions, donations and support that the members gave them. Wow! That's really good karma.

247Bux - A LOT of members are still having problems with verification of their accounts. I haven't received the email yet after filling up the Get Verification Code form on their site. What's up?!?!

MainBux - They've decided to pay members longer than before, like BuxTo (according to the admin). They said that it's better to pay the members longer than have the site close out because of no profits. No specific details yet. I'll keep you posted.

OldSchoolBux - Admin is looking for members who are willing to "exchange" their PayPal money with OSB's AlertPay money. 95% of their money is in PayPal so they're having problems paying AP members causing long delays.

BuxEast - Site is still down for 4 days now. They've already finished setting up the server hardware. Now they've started installation. Then, we have to wait again for server optimization. Hmmm... They just had a server upgrade then this? Let's see.

10/14/2008:

AdAndEl - Their forums is down. Not sure why. I'll find out.

247Bux - Site is back up. Members have to verify their Paypal email address TWICE after the upgrades. If you're already a member, check your emails. If you didn't receive the email, report it here. I haven't received the email yet so I can't login yet. It seems that A LOT of the members didn't receive the email.

IceBux - I only get 2 ads now. The admin is not yet around. Added them to my Scam Alerts page 'til they fix the problems.

IdealBux - Members are complaining about late payments, since August! I've just requested payment on the 8th. So, let's see how long before I get it.


10/13/2008:

OsoBux - They now have a new system for cashing out.
To request a cashout you need to have 100 points.
Standard members get 1 point for every click.
Premium members get 1.5 points for every click.

You also get points for:
10 points each time you rent referrals.
15 points each time you buy life time referrals.
10 points if you upgrade.
0.5-50 points if you convert to ads.
1 point if you play the $0.10 Jackpot
0.1 point if you play the $0.01 Jackpot
(your points will reset to 0 every time you will get paid.)

Ara-Bux - As of 10/12/2008, they have opened pre-orders for their New Rental Referral system.

BuxEast - They're moving to new servers. Site is down again.

NeroBux - They are increasing the prices for referrals, upgrades, etc, starting this week.

10/11/2008:

ClixMX - Site is down due to cheaters attacking them. Go to the site to check the message from their admin. All members who requested for payments will be paid. Site will be down until updates are fully functional. Here are what the admin promised:
* More security for your accounts with the use of a PIN
* Possibility to buy ads, referrals and upgrades with your balance
* More banner spaces for sale
* Manual replacement of inactive referrals (fees will apply)
* Minimum number of clicks to cash out for standard members
* Referral packages will include advertising credits to increase the number of ads
* Jackpot and messenger system to contact your referrals (these are not ready, so they might not be included)

BuxEast - If you're having problems with the link ads, start from the last link to the top. Members are experiencing this problem and I was able to click all ads by starting from the last one.

SandraClicks - Site is completely up and working. Site seems to work faster now.

10/10/2008:
247Bux - Site is completely down. They're transferring their database to a new server. Members will receive an email informing them when the site will be back. Members need to activate their account. Click history will be reset to 0 when the servers are up. Balance will remain, so, no worries.

BuxOut - PayPal is no longer a payment or cash-out option. Admin decided on this after what happened with NeoBux Paypal account.

ClixMX - Site is down. No information yet as to why.

10/09/2008:

NeoBux - MAJOR UPDATE! Their PayPal account has been frozen. Read the bad news here. ALL payments and cash-outs through PayPal has been stopped. However, all payments will still continue through AlertPay. NeoBux admin is asking for help from members through donations. Tsk tsk. PayPal set a permanent limit on their account. They now have to wait for 180 days before PayPal unfreezes their account.

OldSchoolBux - Because some accounts were hacked, they are implementing the PIN system. All members need to enter their PIN when they request for their first or next payout. If you need to update your profile, you need to send them a PM.

TakeTheGlobe - Site is up and running again. However, some members are complaining that they're not being credit for their clicks.

NeroBux - Forum is back. Seems everything is back to normal. Members have been posting their payment proofs. Good to hear.

IdealBux - I've already requested my first payment from them yesterday. I'll post the payment proof as soon as I receive it.

BuxEast - Ads are working fine now. Just have to wait a li'l longer for the green message saying that it's okay to move on to the next ad.

CrewBux - Will be moving to a new server soon so members might have problems accessing the site. They'll announce when that move will be.

10/08/2008:
BuxEast - As of 10/07/08, they're back with a completely new system and servers. Bad news, though - all members accounts were wiped! No announcements on their main page. However, they promised it won't happen again. All those who purchased or upgraded will get adjustments. All past members should re-register. Read it here. Bug Alert: Site is up but when you click ads, the timer doesn't work for all of them. I'll keep you posted as to when they'll be up.

TakeTheGlobe - They're back after DDoS attacks yesterday. Admin announced that payments will be delayed longer because of it, which is understandable because of what they just went through. They're still a trusted PTC site. Read the admin's message here. Also, they explained what happened here.

OsoBux - Admin said that in about 2 weeks, they might change their restrictions against members from South East Asia. I'll keep you posted.

NeroBux - Forum is down. I'll found out what's wrong somewhere.

BuxOut - They will be implementing v2 of their site soon. No date was specified yet. Once the upgraded system is up, all click history, including referrals', will be reset to 0. Members are okay with this as long as there'll be instant payments. I'll keep you posted.

CrewBux - New site is finally up. My stats are back to normal (removed them from scam alerts). They changed their TOS for payments while they're still fixing INSTANT PAYMENTS:
Honest Members: Payments will be issued within 30 business days on AlertPay and PayPal.
Premium Members: Payments will be issued within 40 business days on AlertPay and PayPal.
Standard Members: Payments will be issued within 60 business days on AlertPay only.
You must accumulate at least $5 before payment will be issued.

NeoBux - All the text when I login are in Spanish! Weird. Edited: Had to clear my cache and cookies. Everything's back to "normal".

* * * * * * * * *

10/07/2008:
Ara-Bux - On 10/05/2008, admin announced that they might switch to a Rental Referral system by the end of this month or early November. "This will ensure you have profited from your purchased members before they are removed". However, to implement this, ALL purchased referrals currently in members' accounts will be REMOVED. Most of the members agreed with this proposal. See the announcement here.

BayBux - Members from China need to upgrade now to receive payments.

MadaBux & AsiaPTC - These 2 PTC sites have merged. All support will be redirected to AsiaPTC, members can click on MadaBux. However, MadaBux is still down for v2 upgrades and the merge. I'll keep you posted!

ClixMX - Only 4 ads are now available for standard members. This is just temporary, according to the admin, because they detected thousands of cheaters. This is one way for them to lessen the damage. They're coming up with a new anti-cheater system. I'll keep you updated.

Crewbux - Their staff posted instructions to all members who got deleted that they should create a new account, open a support ticket with the following details:
Subject: "Account Restoration - (username)"
Details:
Crew Username:
Membership Type: Standard/Premium/Honest
Number of Referrals:
Referral Clicks:
Own Clicks:
Balance:
They will add all the details to the new account. Check the original message from the Crew Staff here.
Already on my Scam Alerts page. I'll take them off as soon as I get back my balance. I'll keep you posted.

EarnEasyCash - No more minimum amount for cash-outs for Premium members! For Standard, everything stays the same - $1 minimum.

MainBux - You can no longer buy referrals through your account balance. You need to buy them through AlertPay or Paypal.

SandraClicks - They now have over 70,000 members. They're moving their database to a new server. Site might be offline for a couple of hours or days.


* * * * * * * * *
PTCNation
They're still on Pre-launch. Note that all accounts will be wiped when they officially launch. They said there'll be instant payments. Might as well sign up when they have officially launched and payment proofs have been posted.

MadaBux is still down for system testing of v2 of their site. They're also promising instant pay-outs. They have been down since 10/01/2008 so I hope they'll be up soon!
