There is a catch. No cash.

[Ducklow]

A few years ago I spent hours and hours setting up a stable flow of referrals I did get about $100 in cash but now I log on to this.

so the catch is you better hurry ur *bleep* up and withdraw your money or it will vanish

[constance312003]

wow that is interesting.  I have not done any referrals- not sure I will now

[surveysmillenium]

I thought I read in their terms that there is an expiration date for the money in the account. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's 180 days. Something about their accounts receivable not being able to keep accounts after that time. That must be really upsetting, losing so much money, after all that work. 

[swogden]

An impressive amount of work to get that many referrals -- and then lose the fruits of your labor by ignoring the site for a couple of years. A credit does expire after 180 days on the books.  I found that out myself but only lost a couple of bucks.  Now I'm here every day just to keep things up to date. 

Hope you plan on doing that too.  You may still have active referrals -- tho I noticed that none of them you showed have generated a cash out bonus. ($5.00)  Perhaps they lost interest when you did.

Obviously, you know how to get referrals.  Keep up the good work and stick around to reap the benefits.  Just in case you forgot: you still need to have $15.00 in offers out of the $25 minimum cash out amount in order to cash out.

[handllucas]

I cash out everytime I get $25, just to avoid having to keep up with expiration dates. There is no penalty or fee for cashing out often

[rbudovec1947]

Ducklow,

You have to read the FAQs:

Per the Terms of Service, offers and bonuses expire if not cashed out within 180 days of being credited.


My rule of thumb is as soon as I reach the minimum requirements for cashing out, I cash out. No fuss, no muss. FC is not just about referrals, although it's great that you got so many. I'm jealous. It's also about logging in regularly, doing the DCE and PTC every day for $.17 and completing a daily survey or a daily task or a new free offer once in a while so you can cash out. Otherwise, the referral bonuses are lost after 180 days. The first three things I did when I joined were to watch the Tutorial Videos, read the FAQs, and read the Terms of Service. You've got to know the rules so you know how to play the game. 

[marciaenglish]

I don't understand....... How can you do all that work, and just let it "sit" there so long?  If I saw my account balance growing like that; I would have to check on it every single day!

[bleyd]

Wow...to get that many referrals and don't cash out. That's sux! But what I want to know is...how'd you get so many referrals?  I think that's so awesome that you got so many! 

[samrhett2]

You gotta understand that Fusion Cash is not a bank.  They can't owe hundreds or thousands of us money that just sits there indefinitely.  If they did their books would start to look like they had huge debts.  Sorry you lost your money but the first rule of sites like this is to read the rules.

If you consider 'hurrying' to be a period of years, then that's your problem right there. The original post implies FC doesn't come through ie the "catch" and that FC also 'steals' members' money ie "no cash".

If you wanted to be truthful about this situation, you should have said, "Do NOT be as ignorant as I am. Read the T.O.S., stay active when you start to earn money, earn very good money via referrals, and do NOT complain when you screw up royally like I did."  

Love it when people bad mouth something, but fail to say it's due to their own actions. Just thought of this, it might save you additional grief: You need to put gas in your vehicle more than just the 1 time after you bought it. If you fail to do so, your vehicle will run out of this necessity and you'll find yourself stranded by the side of a road.

[ruevouge]

Wow, that is a lot of $$$ to lose out on, but it is in the "terms" that after 180 days the $$$ expires.

Sorry man, that sucks, but it is kinda your fault for not cashing out after years?!? Ive known since I joined you have 180 days before offers start to expire, and really there is no reason to not cashout within 180 days unless some unforseen events make you unable to get on a computer.

FC cant leave everyones account open indefenintely, how in the world would they be able to manage their books? 180 days is plenty of time, and only a couple of yours were close to that mark, the rest were WAY beyond 180 days..

So no there really isnt a catch at all, you should know about the 180 day expiration and you dont need to "hurry ur bleep up" you just gotta cash out within 6 months! no hurry at all IMO

[sgerman]

Yes sir...You have to cash out within a certain time period preferably within the month you get the money. It will expire so hurry. Plus it takes 20-30 days for a pending cashout to be approved

[pvs_19857]

I did not know about this that if you sit ideal your money will expire. That's good Information. Thanks.

[rbudovec1947]

I did not know about this that if you sit ideal your money will expire. That's good Information. Thanks.

This is the pertinent section of the FAQs:

Per the Terms of Service, offers and bonuses expire if not cashed out within 180 days of being credited.

You really should take the time to read the FAQs and the Terms of Service, which you can find under Quick Links using the new FC Toolbar, so you know what you agreed to when you signed up. Read the fine print so you don't get blind-sided for any site you join on the net. It's just common sense. That's the first thing I did when I joined. Also be sure to watch all the video tutorials by 'oldbuddy' at least once. This site can seem a little confusing at first and doing those things will really help you learn the ropes quickly. Anyone who has recently joined ought to take the trouble to do those things. Makes life a lot easier if you know the rules and basically how to navigate the site.
