Balance Deduction

[Administrator]

Sometimes it's not a matter of not being unable to earn the necessary amount to cash out. i'm a good example. I signed up in the beginning of 2013 but was still unable to sit at a computer for enough time to do FC offers (thought I was well enough, but wasn't). It took me 2 full years to get over all the physical problems from my illness.  I lost almost all my offers, including my sign-up bonus. I only had a couple $$ to go, too, to hit the cash out. It really upset me to have to start over.

So sometimes it's not a matter of being unable to earn the amount. It could be due to other problems. It would be nice if FC could make some exceptions, of course, if there is some kind of proof.

I'm sorry to hear about your health troubles.  In a perfect world, we'd make exceptions for cases like yours.  But the sad fact is that when faced with expiration, a lot of folks would just lie.  Then our support agents are suddenly in the business of deciding who is telling the truth about a life altering condition (for example).  Nobody wants to make that judgement and most especially nobody wants to get it wrong.  I want to be clear that I'm not trying to imply that you're lying.  I believe you.  It's just that the bad apples make it impossible to have more flexible enforcement of this policy.

It was very upsetting to lose so much and I had to struggle to keep from losing any more $$. 

There should be some kind of acceptable proof for real unavoidable problems...but then you'd have to make a list of acceptable proof for the unavoidable problem. Just like in school, you need a doctor's excuse when absent...but could you imagine asking your doctor for an excuse because otherwise you'd be losing $$ on a survey site?  LOL

I understand FC's position and agree that the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Now, if I could only be younger, have kids at home, be an electronic techie, and be the right gender for most of the videos and surveys, I'd be doing great.

I had the same thought about the doctor's note.  It would indeed be ridiculous, and even then, people would just fake those -- its not that hard!  I'm grateful you can see where we're coming from on this one.

It's a long enough to time for people to cash out if you ask me I think it's a fair rule

[pressman]

I cash out every two months  it is a least $50  if i put more effort in to I would make more

  Right , exactly I agree with you ...I believe that the amount of -effort- is directly in conjunction with the amount -earned- in that if you don't put -some- time into it you won't yield much of a result.

I doubt that this will ever change because this is designed to keep members active.  I didn't like this rule at first but when I realized how simple it was to participate on a regular basis and cash out at least every other month I didn't mind it anymore.
