Frustration

[hjpeoples]

I think it is total crap that I am paying to advertise this site on both Google and Microsoft search and you keep expiring my earnings before I reach $25 to cashout. Spare me any comments about the effectiveness of my advertising or any other reason to throw it back on me. The fact is I earned it and it should not expire or there should not be a minimum to cashout. IMHO

you have an entire 6 months to reach that $25!! HALF A YEAR!! I don't think you should get frustrated with FC for you not being able to make minimum payout within 180 days!! It takes barely over ONE $1 offer per week to reach $25 within that time limit. just trying to help.

I smell something fishy here.

Why aren't you on here doing daily's and posting more often and look for ways to make some money.  Anyways, you can only cashout a certain amount from refferals.

Thank you, that is very good know. Some of us don't really like reading the whole eentire thing we just want answers.

I think 6 months is plenty of time to cash out. I'm not sure why people join this site and then complain about stuff like that. If you are on here doing the dailies and surveys you should know what your account looks like and cash out when you can or before you hit the 6 month mark. I don't think that FC is being unfair in that regard.

I just started and have already earned over 7.00 I do not see why you cannot earn the minimum in 6 Months unless yo are not trying.

I honestly don't see why it expires. I can't get on every day and do this and I didn't get credit for two that I did do.

if you are having trouble getting your cashout limit within 6 months then start referring friends or members to get your $25 limit to cashout.... send a email to all your contacts with your link in it or something lolz

I never knew that if you didn't cash out in 6 months, your earnings would expired.  That is a good thing to know!  But I will be honest, I do think that its unfair because the person did do whatever it was to earn that money.  That is just my opinion though

If earnings didn't expire, we would have to keep them on the books as liabilities forever.  Our accountants wont let us.  I know it's not ideal, but six months is the best we can do (it used to be 90 days!)

i dont fully understand what you're tlaking about here

I think it is unfair to make earnings obsolete after 6 months, because of the time it takes to earn your money.  If you can't hold the earnings more than 6 months then I think you should lower the amount you can cash out with.

Seriously, forever? That is a total corporate cop out, our accountants won't let us indeed. So the accountants advise you to just keep the money and turn a liability into an asset, isn't that just peachy. Did they advise Enron at one time? You have made a conscious decision as part of your business model to "expire" payments to anyone not achieving a predetermined activity level, using a dollar amount as the metric for that determination. This way you get the benefit of that "minimal" activity without any liability. What is the metric for canceling an account that is not producing any activity?

I am expressing honest disagreement with that policy, merely as frustration not anger. You should be honest as to the reason for the policy; the accountants may well be a consideration but they are not the sole reason, nor likely even a significant reason, for the policy.

How about other options? Lower the cashout amount or automatically payout at the end of the six months. I am sending you referrals so I should receive my referral and offer completion bonuses, it is a simple concept.

I think 6 months is plenty of time. If you want to make some money with these survey sites you have to put in some effort to get paid. I understand not being able to log on every single day and do the dailys, but even if you logged on at least twice a week to do them.. you would still hit your $25 quota during that six month period. Although, in my opinion.. that minimal amount of money for that time period is just a waste of time. I guess the bottom line is, if you aren't willing to make some time to participate... how in the heck do you think you will make any money at all and why bother signing up then?
