Paypal problems on Clixsense, could apply to Swags etc

The quoted announcement below has come from Clixsense.

It could apply to Swagbucks, Gifthulk, InstaGC etc at some point in the future (in my opinion). From reading comments, BuxP (?) had the same problem but have rectified it and they offer Paypal again.

I think this serves as a warning to members to be aware that cash out options can change when you least expect it.

It is not a good idea to build up your balances on sites like this as you may end up losing your hard earned amounts.

Members, this announcement comes with a very heavy heart. On Monday February 6th Paypal placed a hold on our account. They advised me that due to new policy changes the ClixSense business model was now in violation of their user agreement and we would have to stop processing all payments (in and payments out).


We attribute this change to the large amount of fly by night PTC, HYIPs, traffic exchanges etc that have made this industry look bad for those that actually run a legitimate business.


I have had several conference calls with Paypal over the last few days trying to convince them that we've posed no risk for the last 7 years since we've introduced them, and even our account rep agrees, but in their eyes it did not matter. On Tuesday afternoon I was told I would get a definitive answer either last night or this morning if we would be able to continue with them for at least mass pay cashouts. I received the call this morning that they are not allowing us to process with them any more. If you haven't noticed, the option to pay by Paypal has been removed from the site.


While this is definitely a set back, it certainly does not mean you will not get paid. I highly suggest that if you are currently using Paypal to switch to Payoneer. They can send your funds directly to your bank account or to their debit card. We also suggest you try Tango Card or Paytoo as they have many different options for you too.


I have a call later today with Skrill to try and get this account setup ASAP and I am doing everything I can to bring Payza back as well.

We know this is a major inconvenience but as the old saying goes, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. ClixSense will continue to move forward and we will do our best to provide you with the great service that you've come to know.


Thank you
Jim Grago

Well, there will be other options to cash out. Clixsense said they are working towards to get Skrill up and running and other options could be also explored. Same goes for other websites. Not sure why you think, you'd lose the money?

All PayPal redemptions are currently resulting in an error. We have contacted PayPal to see what's going on. In the meantime feel free to keep your points in your account or redeem via another method at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It's not that people would lose money as such. You should never really build up a huge balance anyway, it's better in your pocket that sat in an account on a PTC website that could close at any time (it has happened before)

Just happened to me on Neobux too. Looks like there's some sort of global issue.

And yes, I agree that you should always cash out as soon as you can if there's no financial incentive to save. Don't know if anyone remembers Pigsback at all but I lost a tenner when it abruptly closed.

Can anyone recommend any of the alternatives to PayPal that Clixsense mentioned? TIA.:)
