This is a warning to not SIGN up for AllAdvantage of you are thinking of it.

I have been a member for over a year. I have had money accumulating over the past four months - never getting a check because they kept raising the pay out ceilings and reducing the surfing pay rate.

Well recently they tried to con me into joining the sweepstakes, so I don't get paid anything for surfing. Interestingly, as soon as I opted to continue with the normal pay per hour program I am told I'm under investigation for using web surfing simulation programs.

I have never used such programs.

They have cancelled all the money I accumulated over the last four months ($60) worth.

This is simply an EXCUSE to not pay me the money.

DO NOT JOIN ALLADVANATAGE. If you are already a memeber, do not continue to use them. Sooner or later they will find some excuse not to pay you your money.

I was going to follow official channels but it just aint worth the $60. Better to warn others - will have more impact.

It sucks. I have $20 left in my account and it's going to take forever to get the next $10 so I can cash out.

What makes you think you'll ever get that money? The payout ceiling will probably rise, the maximum monthly earnings will probably fall, and your account will probably be zeroed for, as one memorable post put it, fraudulent activities that simulate active surfing, active surfing.

Did you guys know that AllAdvantage takes money out of your account when you haven't used them for either two or three months in a row? I got an email from them saying that they're deducting money out of my account due to inactivity.

Another surf for $ site I would not recommend is epipo. I was about $1 away from being able to cash out, and all of the sudden, my account total was inaccessible "due to a system upgrade" for two and a half months.

When the account info was back up, my total was at $0. The site claims that my previous balance will be added shortly when it's been confirmed, but it's been two months since they've said they needed to confirm my account total, and my previous balance still hasn't been added. I don't think it's ever going to be added.

Does anyone have experience with a surf for $ site that's hassle free?

My earnings went from $100 to $35 to $6 in the past 3 months.

edit: First, I was in haste and had wrong figures. Real figures are: I received $100 for May, $35 for June, and nothing for July/August yet. July/August combined, I had earnings of $45, and that check should arrive (hopefully) shortly. My earnings for September is only $6 so far.

I checked my account when it went down to $35 and saw some message about minuses due to cheats by my down-people.

Now, I'm getting in the single digits because my down-people got auto-converted to Sweepstakes. It shows 100+ hours of surf time with 0 hours applicable for payment.

Namja,

I don't think you'll ever see that cheque.

Interesting about your credits being reduced due to claimed down-people cheats.

Sounds like another reason for AllAdvantage to make this cheating crap up - so that everyone loses down-people credits.

More and more it is simply looking like a big piece of crap from AllAdvantage.

They must be in serious trouble to be ripping people off so much.
