    I redeemed $75 on 13th November. It seems I was lucky as everything pre-11th was written off. I'd had to hold off until 13th as they'd brought in their new "once in 30 days" rule and I'd previously redeemed in mid October.

    I got an email last week, paying me $31 of that $75.

    My current bank is $27, but I need to earn a living, not make pin money, so it won't be a high priority for me to get to $50, but I do intend to eventually get there, just "out of spite" so to speak.

    Mark Ewbie had his account deleted. He'd deleted all but two posts, as he wasn't happy at the low income and started his own site, then he must have pee'd them off ... and they deleted his account.

    I wrote a post yesterday, nothing earth shattering.... 22 likes, 12 comments and the bank increased by 8 cents.

    That's 8 cents to think of it, write it, upload my own photo, post it - then do some interacting, then check back for comments and respond to comments 2-3x.

    BUGG4H that!!

    I used to get closer to $8/post.

    Mines down from $85 to $2.75 :rotfl: :rotfl: I wasn't expecting it anyway :D

    I just commented on the post you made 30 minutes ago. Way to go to get the post/account deleted.

    It does make you WANT to break the rules doesn't it

    I haven't posted since the changes because I am on $42 and have no chance of ever reaching $50 - and then only getting $3 ! It is such a shame though . Mark Ewbie was a brilliant writer .

    That is precisely what I want :) Saves me removing all the posts myself. :rotfl:

    Simply: You missed the boat. There's no money to be made there now. e.g. I used to make $8/post. I wrote one yesterday - which took time - plus time to return and respond to comments, etc. It's earnt $0.14 - and, by most people's figures, that probably qualifies as doing exceedingly well. Even under the old rules, based on views/likes/comments it'd have earnt $1.50 as a "dud".
