    It takes forever for your miles to expire so you cannot have been on the site for a long time as they do warn you when your miles are close to expiry.

    Your miles don't expire until a year after you earn them and there's an indicator on your profile to show how many are going to expire in the next rolling 30 day window.

    If your miles do expire, you have no-one to blame but yourself.
  • I just like most of the people here have been not paid when i got to 50 pounds on the website, Does any one else feel that because too many people are on the website DooYoo can not afford it any more? I think the website is feeling the crunch and will also head the same path ciao.co.uk has as well.

    It's always easier to look elsewhere rather than look at the most obvious solution which is that your reviews come under closer scrutiny when you're cashing out
    so that Dooyoo can check that your submissions are up to scratch. If you're posting reviews that barely meet the standard, chances are, some ARE sub-standard and Dooyoo are not a charity and won't give out money just because you post 150 words on a website.

    If there's am issue it's because too many people are posting sub-par material in the hunt for easy cash. Dooyoo is not the problem, money grabbing members are.

    I can confirm that Dooyoo are still paying out having cashed a cheque just yesterday.

    Dooyoo are becoming far more vigilant with regard to the standard of reviews being posted. Reviews which are under the word limit, contain padding in its many forms or those which are plagiarised (either directly or more discretely) will be found and dooyoo is perfectly within its rights not to pay.

    They are very fair and give folks a chance but, they are not a charity and value the integrity of their site. It doesn't take much to ensure that what you write for your 50p plus reads is at least marginally acceptable. You don't have to be a great writer or linguist but, as a member, you do have to play by the rules. It's no different really, to self-employment. You wouldn't expect to be paid for poor work then...

    If you have a genuine grievence with them and can, hand on heart, say that all your opinions were up to scratch then just email them at [EMAIL="feedback@dooyoo.co.uk"]feedback@dooyoo.co.uk[/EMAIL] and they will get back to you. If you don't get a response after about 48 hours (not including weekends) then let a guide know and they'll see what they can do to speed up a response. If you know you cut things fine then just up your game.

    Dooyoo has potential to be another good consumer resource but it risks being spoilled by a few who fail to see the site for what it is.
