New cashback/money making website - GetPaidTo

Hi guys,

I've just been send some info on this website: https://www.getpaidto.com/

Just wondering if any of you've heard about it or tried it out? It looks interested you can earn cashback on purchases (like a normal cashback site), but not sure if their levels beat Quidco or TopCashback.

Then you can also earn points on filling out surveys, watching videos and testing games.

You can redeem your points to cash (or vouchers), but this is where it gets complicated.

You can also use your points to BOOST your cashback.

Has anyone tried this? I'd like to know what you experts really think!

THANK YOU! :beer:

    it was previously posted here on mse on the referrers board in 2008 and the post was locked.....

    looks like they have been around before and for whatever reason shut down, probably same as superpoints, ran out of money and are now back in business.


    Looks good, like swagbucks and gifthulk, and cashback thrown in just like swagbucks.

    Read the faqs though... very interesting...


    Fraud Controls


    What is considered Fraud?
    There are various situations where potential fraud is highlighted. For example, completing the same offer multiple times on different sites, cancelling a trial offer or product before actually receiving the product or service, or cancelling before the obligated number of days specified in the offer by the advertiser. Using disposable email accounts is also considered to be fraud; please only use email accounts registered to you. Completing offers you have no interest in, using false information or information belonging to other people (including credit cards) is also considered fraudulent.

    Make sure you use a real credit card, registered to you at your actual address in order to earn points. Many of the trial offers will not accept anything else. DO NOT use a pre-paid card, ATM, debit or gift card.


    Why has my account been marked as fraudulent?
    There are many reasons that this could happen. Here are some of the most common ones:

    Having multiple accounts
    Using a bot or illegal 3rd party program to complete offers
    Being abusive to other members or staff
    Using a proxy server

    I think it looks ok, but like anything would have to start using it, to find out how quickly payout can be made, etc.

    oh and one thing.....

    How many accounts can I have?
    Each individual within the same household, using the same IP address, may open their own account at GetPaidTo for cashback shopping purposes. However only ONE account per household address may be used to complete tasks from the Offer Walls to earn points.

    Only ONE member account at an address may be used to complete paid tasks at GetPaidTo. Multiple users or multiple accounts from the same address will be considered fraudulent by the Offer Walls (which provide the paid tasks) and risk the account/s being terminated by them. The correct address and ID information for the account must be used when completing offers. Also note that multiple accounts held in the same name but at different addresses will also be considered fraudulent.


    so can we start a referral thread?

    It's been around for a while.... but looks like the website has been updated lately
