Title: No Paid to Post = No cashout for me :(
Post by: kjstrukel on November 01, 2020, 05:32:11 am
I was $2 short of cashing out in October instead of having nearly $30 if I'd have been paid for the last few months of Paid to Post.  Ah well, I know I'll earn more than $2 in November so will be able to cash out and if the PTP money comes, it will be a nice surprise!

I have submitted a support ticket for paid to post a while back, but still no response. I wonder what is wrong?

Without the Forum Bonus money, I will not be able to cash out until December or January. If it should come in, I might be able to cash out in November.

I fortunately did get to cash out in October with $37.29 even with no paid to post bonuses. I have been eligible to cash out about every other month, but it has been with lower amounts given the lack of the paid to post bonuses.

I like to cash out at around $100. But without the forum bonuses, it's taking me forever to get there. Oh well, every little bit helps. I sure have missed the bonuses though.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people were unable to cashout because of the missing forum bonuses. Such a shame. It's definitely going to take significantly longer to cashout from here on out if they don't have the posting bonus any more.

I haven't been paid either, what is going on.

My guess is it is one more thing that no longer works on this site.  If you get a response maybe you can let us know. Several have submitted tickets. I doubt you will hear anything back.  If the payment has stopped he needs to put a disclaimer on the site letting us know.

I did not put a lot of effort in to earning this past month.  Was not even sure there would be payment.  And from reading comments I was not the only one who had that concern.

I didn't cash out either. I was hoping for the posting bonus too. I will at the end of this month. Sure wish the posting money would come though. Maybe they are waiting so we will have a nice Christmas bonus.

I too would have been able to cash out in October if I had been paid for the forum bonuses that are due me right now.  I have three months pending that says 0 days.

I have been able to cash out every month even without the forum bonus, but it would be nice to get that money as well...seeing as it has been a few months I have a feeling they stopped the bonus and never told us, but I am keeping hopes

I haven't received the forum posting bonus for June, July, August, September, or October 2020.

I DID receive my 9/15/20 cashout request.  It was direct deposited 10/22/20.

Scratching my head as to why we have not received our forum posting bonuses. I hope that this snafu does not affect our ability to receive our FC earnings. I am nearing $30.00 and now worried that I will not receive my earnings.

Sorry to know some haven't been paid. I'm here now and need to make a decision on what to do. I would not like if I didn't get paid :( Offers and tasks have been removed, so it's a sign that things will not be the same. I'm hoping for the best. Been on here since 2011 and was always able to earn money from numerous offers etc.

I wish they would just make a announcement about ptp

I have a feeling this is never going to happen again.  I agree I just wish they would let us know for sure.

At this point, they may not even be able to afford to pay the backlog of forum bonuses. With regard to PTC and surveys, FC gets a significant amount of revenue and just pays us a portion of what they earn. But as far as I know - ever since its inception, the forum posting bonus has been 100% loss/expense for FC. What revenue did it bring to FC? It may have made the forums a more active and lively place, but I don't think there was ever any ad revenue to FC for users hanging out for extended time in the forum... So where has the forum bonus money come from?


I have five months of unpaid bonuses and I am closing in on 30 posts for November to make it six. That's $18 just for me. I have no idea how many of us regularly complete the bonus, but multiply that amount of bonus money in bulk to all of those active and it really adds up each month that it goes unpaid. If they had to pay everyone what they earned in full at this point, I don't see them staying afloat - unless they have a secret cache of money somewhere.


But I had received about $174 in forum bonuses prior to the recent drought. Nothing to sneeze at - even if it now goes away.

Great post, UGetPaid!  I agree with what you are saying.  I've always believed that FC was paying the $3 bonus out of the goodness of its heart, and was not being repaid through any other means. Because of this crazy year, FC may not have been able to absorb the loss.  Perhaps they can reinstate the bonus, as before, sometime in the future, even if we have to lose the bonuses that were not paid in the past.

Agree with your post 100%, but I think having PTP is what draws a lot of people to FC. Without PTP, they are just another GPT site. When people come on to do PTP, they will likely also do other offers such as PTC, videos, surveys, etc. When FC was popular and had more offers available, I imagine this really helped boost their earnings. More people on the forum = more people on the site = more chance that they did offers = more revenue for FC. Obviously things have changed now and I wouldn't be surprise if they were losing more than they're earning.

Perhaps between the fires in California and the .15 per day PTC, that is why they are dropping the offers, tired of paying people who don't get surveys or qualify.  Not Tap of course, they just went "mobile"
