Bux.to Idol Competition + My Bux.to MasterCard Arrives!

It's been a while since my last update, so I thought I'd better update everyone as to what's going on over at Bux.to...well,they are working on the launch of the new site & script which should be ready by mid aApril apparently so watch this space (see my last post for screen shot of the new website design)

Today I received my Bux.to Mastercard from Payoneer! (see screenshots below) My card is activated now & ready to be topped up. I have changed my 'AlertPay Email' to the new one which is username@buxcard.net My previously pending payment to Alertpay will now be paid to my card. This is great news as AlertPay have been having problems with mass payments for quite a while now & they don't seem to be doing anything to fix this, so the Bux.to MasterCard is a stroke of genius in that respect!

Bux.to & Payoneer Inundated With Questions About Card

Update 21st March: Bux.to Takes Well Deserved Easter Break - CLICK HERE
Admin on Bux.to's forum announced today that the overwhelming response to the release of the card has put them under agreat deal of pressure. Apparently many users have been bombarding the Live Support function with queries about the card. If those members would take 5 minutes to look on the Bux.to forums they will see that there are special threads dedicated to the new card. With all this extra workload put on Payoneer staff, Bux.to issued a warning today about repeated questions & live support tickets being put to the staff of both companies. In short if this carries on it looks like Payoneer may pull the plug on the debit card. Please, if you want to find a answer to your questions regarding the Bux.to MasterCard please go here: Ask About The Bux.to MasterCard HERE ONLY Please read the below statement carefully it is very important all members are 'clued up' on this issue:

"1. We have received feedback from Payoneer that they have been receiving an enormous amount of customer support calls regarding payment timing to card. We need to stop this. We cannot bombard them with hundreds of emails or live chat sessions as we are not the only customer. Please do not bother Payoneer in regards to Bux.to payments, they cannot help you. If we leave this as it is we will lose Payoneer. They cannot deal with hundreds of Bux.to members question about the payment.

For now we are setting a temporally date to stop this. First card payment will be made to within next week in normal payment cycle 30 business days for premium. Payment term will be updated and hopefully lowered as soon as the new script is released. We are in process to change main points in regards to the payment in our TOS but maybe not ready before we launch the new script.

Since we are all waiting for the new script, but still like to continue with payments and especially making payments to you via new method through Bux.to MasterCard, we need to extemporize: If you received your card and passed the activation process please make sure that you update your Bux.to profile that you payment address is shown as follow:

1. Go to My Profile - http://bux.to/profile.php
2. In the AlertPay Address For Payments put YourBuxUsername@buxcard.net

Don't worry, it will still shown as "AlertPay", when we make payments to you and see the @buxcard.net, we will pay to the card instead of AlertPay.

We are trying to pay faster but seems very difficult to organise unless we have the new script. Right now no matter if it is card or AlertPay, the payout term/cycle remains unchanged, 30 business days. If you continue to bother Payoneer, we may consider to close this payment channel. Maybe with the new script we will add additional services such as priorty payments or similar. At the moment things are going way too fast.

2. Chargeback/Refund: Please note if there is a chargeback or refund, accounts will be suspended. Under no circumstance will those accounts be reinstated.

3. New staff started work today. Still not ready since they need to be trained. They will introduce themself in the forum by this week. Right now, it may take up to 7 business days to solve any problem. Please use the same email address in your Bux profile when you pay for refs or upgrade your account to avoid delays "

Bux.to members please take some weight off the staff & stop asking questions that have already been answered. Check the Bux.to forum HERE for answers regarding the Bux.to MasterCard.

Bux.to News & Announcements Update 16th March 2008

Not a great deal to report at the moment, but it looks like the cashouts to the new Bux.to MasterCard will be starting from next week. I am still awaiting my Bux.to MasterCard but I did apply 24 hours after the announcement was made & I live in the UK so I hope to get mine soon, some members from USA & some European countries have already received these cards . find out who has received their cards & FAQ about the Bux.to Debit Card HERE. The announcement made on the forum regarding when we can start to cash out + privacy news is below:

1. Payment to card will start next week. If you are planning to cashout now, don't, wait until the card payment option is available. Details of this will come soon.

2. We want to stress the privacy issue again, please do NOT put your email on this forum. We've seen topics people asking for help along with that their email and other personal information. Post your email here do not help, it will only increases spam and risk of your account getting hacked through phising. Use http://www.buxtosupport.com/

In the next few days, we'll be implementing another feature to the forum to block people from posting up their emails as another layer of protection for privacy.

I'm guessing that the new script & new look Bux.to website will also be ready once the new cashout script is integrated.. Right.. now I'm gonna get on to Live Support & find out where my MasterCard is!...

Bux.to News & Announcements Update 13th March 2008

So it's been a week since the Bux.to MasterCard was officialy released & the majority of the hype & hysetria has passed thankfully - after reading so many of the same questions & answers on the Bux.to forum I myself became a involuntary unofficially certified Payoneer expert! Anyway for those of you that like to have your finger on the pulse & like to know exactly what Bux.to is upto here is the lastest Bux.to news announcement:

"1. We are disappointed with AlertPay, mass pay doesn't work again. We're still trying but cannot pay hundreds individually. Please aware there will be delay with payments through AlertPay.

2. By this weekend, I will be revising the current forum's spam system. As you know, banned sites are automatically convert to "bux.to". This seems to raise alot of confusions so I will change this to "Bux Banned Site" to avoid any further confusion that might arise."

Well AlertPay has disappointed me, I thought they would have got this sorted by now. It has been two months since the change from Paypal to Alertpay. Thank goodness for the pre-paid MasterCard. I don't think AlertPay are quite as well equipped for the huge surge in business as MasterCard. I for one would not be too bothered in Bux.to ended their relationship with AlertPay it was only a knee-jerk reaction to have them anyway really. My MasterCard is still under-review so I hope to get approved any day now & hope this will shorten the payout waiting times, which it is intended to do. Watch this space folks for more Bux.to News, Reviews & FAQ's!

It's Here! - Bux.to Releases Pre-Paid MasterCard Apply Now!

How The Card Will Look:


Card Order Confirmation Email:

IMPORTANT UPDATE SATURDAY 8TH MARCH 2008 :
The Bux.to Pre-Paid MasterCard will now only be available for Premium Members. The decision was made due to a overwhelming response to the application for the card. They (Bux.to) decided that it would only hinder the time taken to make payments. Those of you that have already applied for the card that are standard members will not be able to load the card until you upgrade to premium. I think this is a wise move for two reasons. 1) The whole idea of the card was to speed payments in the first place. 2) Those standard members that have already applied for the card will have to upgrade to premium to use the card. I think the latter was possibly pre-mediated by Bux.to & in a way quite a smart move, as thousands of standard members applied & quite a few of them will upgrade to premium. Some of you may think this was a cheeky move by Bux.to but if you look at the bigger picture it will only benefit the members & staff at Bux.to

Woohoo! the news we have all be waiting for finally arrived on the forum last night. The Pre-paid Bux.to MasterCard will be available To ALL members (standard & premium) I applied for mine straight away as soon as I found out. The link to apply for the card is here: Bux.to MasterCard Application (If you receive the "not logged in" error, please logout, login again using your case sensitive password, then visit the page again. Alt3rn4tiv3ly, click on "Surf Ads", then visit the page again.) This was the announcement that Tri made on the forum last night:

"The time has come. You can apply for your own Bux.to card here:Bux.to MasterCard Application

Please Note: Minimum payout for the card is set at $75. The exciting news is that both Standard and Premium can order the card. As card will take sometime to come, we want you to order card now. All other information regarding cashout will be on held during this time while we make decisions, we will find a way to satisfy all members. If you are having trouble, there is a Live Assistance available http://www.payoneer.com/ContactUs.aspx or leave your question here where staff will be available to help.

Important Note about Activation Fee for Non-US:
Please refer to OUR fee page not on the general web site for the activation fee for Non-US. We made a deal with them. It is $9.95 NOT $19.95 as stated in their Terms & Conditions located at http://www.payoneer.com/terms.aspx

If your are getting a message "Please Login First" on Bux.to site. Please click Logout and then login again then go to the link.

I applied for the card as soon as I read the announcement & the time to verify tales 2-3 business days so hopefully my card should be on it's way by Tuesday next week (11th March), in time, this will speed up payments for everyone & will take a huge amount of work-load off the already over-worked Bux.to employees. Appartently they reckon the payout waiting times should come down to approximately 1 week after cashout request once the new card is properly implemented. FANTASTIC! The wait was well worth it..

Bux.to Now Set To Use Pre-Paid MasterCard as Payment Option

With most of the talk on the official Bux.to forum centering around the eagerly awaited Bux.to Card, it was great to see a update from Admin today regarding alll the answered questions relating to the release & use of the card. The most surprising thing in the announcement is the change from Visa Electron (as we all were told it would be) to MasterCard. This is probably in hindsight; a better option as MasterCard will be more widely acceptable than the Visa Electron Card, so a good move for Bux.to & a even better one for it's 2.5M members. The other surprising thing in the annonucement was the fees for the card, these will be a lot smaller than I originally anticipated & the limit you can put on the card is a whopping $12,500! which will test even the top members at Bux.to! Read he full official announcement for the Bux.to card below:

"In order to provide a smooth release. I'm giving you answers to most of the questions I've seen. We have tested the API, some changes and other admin decisions need to be made before public release.

QUOTE:
"The U.S. Patriot Act is a Federal Law that requires financial services institutions to make all possible attempts to authenticate and validate an individual’s identity participating in their service."

If the Cardholder Details is located in the US
The only method to provide your ID is to give your SSN.
If you're under 18 - Parent SSN required

If the Cardholder Details is located outside the US
You are more flexible as you have 3 choices as given below along with the information needed.

1. National ID
- Name of ID holder
- ID Number
- Country of issue

2. Passport
- Name of passport holder
- Passport number
- Date of expiry
- Date of issue
- Country of issue

3. Driver's License
- Name of license holder
- License Number
- Date of expiry
- Country of issue

If the Cardholder Details is located in the US but do not have SSN
You need to change your Cardholder Details to your home country and fill out the details of your home country then choose the option 'Send card to different address' and put in your US address.

Should I wait for card to release or cashout via AlertPay now?
If you are premium. I suggest you request cashout via AlertPay now. The reason is becauses the time it takes for first cashout to card is roughly 20~30 business days.

Break down:
2~5 working days for ID validation
7~10 working days for delivery (in the US) longer if you are located elsewhere in the world
serveral days for funds 'from balance to card requests' to complete
serveral days for funds to appear on card

But after that you can request cashout via card."

**END OF ANNOUNCEMENT**

Well, this is great news, many other PPC sites already have a pre-paid card for payouts but Bux.to has delibrately taken it's time on this to get everything perfect & ready for the launch. Good work Bux.to, we are all very excited for the plans for the future!

For All The Bux.to Doubters, Sceptics & Non-Beleivers:

(Click Image Above To View Stats)

I first joined Bux.to on 13th September 2007 about two months after they launched. At first I was VERY sceptical. I couldn't understand how they could afford to pay all these members when they were basically make very little profit from advertising Vs. paying their members. After visiting the forums regulary & reading other members posts it became clear that they are actually making their money mostly from purchased refs & premium upgrades (not to mention the clickbank products) I didn't start refering properly until October '07. I had read so many success stories in the Bux.to forum I thought I'd at least give it a go & it's free so I wasn't going to lose anything. Now five months after I initially registered I have 860 refs, been paid $10.46, purchased premium membership, & purchased a additional 100 referalls (Total investment: $157) I have already been paid $10.46, my next due amount is $417 & total balance is $739. So as you can see from the figures I will be well in profit when I get my next payment. To anyone considering joining Bux.to I would seriously recommend it, not only is it a good investment with quick returns compared to other ventures it is also a excellent place to advertise & with over 2.5 million, yes MILLION members there is always a audience ready to view your ads, which is great for business owners, seo experts, students, blog owners, & affiliates alike to advertise their product(s) Less sceptical?

Bux.to Official Updates (February 23rd 2008)

It has been a while since any official updates regarding a few pending matters & yesterday we got some news regarding the Bux.to card, servers & payments...

1. Cluster/Servers/Stats/Website accessibility

Bux.to is growing very fast. We are still having problems and trying to find the best configuration. We recognized that the MySQL servers are insufficient as traffic we receive is massive, we serve up to 5 million page views a day.
We took actions by adding another server which will be integrated early next week. We'll see how this will help with the issues. It was a huge amount in terms of cost. Consider this cluster as part of the investment for our members to provide the best service.

2. Bux.to card

We were planning to release the card with our own design and logo, but this is taking longer than expected. So instead we will start out first with cards from our supplier with the embossed 'www.bux.to' a very basic design. Card orders will be accepted from Monday or Tuesday next week with more specific details to follow. The good looking design will be out a few weeks later for ordering.

3. Payments

We pay our members everyday as you will see on their feedback on the success stories.
Just the whole PayPal issue, we have hired an attorney to take care of this. They still own us a large sum amount of money. We can assure you we are a serious business and that all members are getting paid accordingly to our TOS

Great news about the Bux.to card! lets hope those legal crooks at Paypal give them their money back - I sympathise, I have been in the same position with Paypal. Stop using Paypal & make Alertpay your way of paying TODAY.

Small Change In Bux.to Terms of Service (24th Feb 2008)

There has been a minor change to the Bux.to TOS as from today:

BUX.TO ACCOUNTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.

"2) You may only have one account. Do not attempt to create more than one account or all of your accounts will be terminated. You should never need another account. Accounts are not transferable. If you have forgotten your user information all you need to do is request for it to be e-mailed to you."

UrOnlineBiz.com Rates Bux.to No.1 - Again!

UrOnlineBiz is probably the best review site of the PPC industry. All the reviews on the site are very thorough and they are normally the first to alert people that a site they are reviewing is a scam or not. Below you will find very good review & brief interview with Bux.to conducted by Phil at UrOnlineBiz.com I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

"Taking a look at the PTC industry current top PTC site we can still see giant leaps of progress being made here. For quite some time it seems that bux.to has been able to pay out much more than “extra cash” which is a common phrase related with PTC sites. The last highest payout we had heard of was around $4000 at Bux.to but recently they have gone much higher with an unbeatable $12.750 payout which went to the lucky owner of a large community.

Obviously that person had the means and the traffic in which to refer so many people however the amount of people gaining 3 figure payouts is increasing all the time thanks to more people purchasing the upgrades. The 500 referral upgrade has never been so popular and the results are just astonishing. The collective high earnings of the members at bux.to are now changing the way people see bux.to. Now Bux.to is seen by many as an extra source income rather than extra small cash.

Because the site is now so popular we were curious as to how they handle this with their number of servers and what their plans are for them. They told us the servers in use are 2x Load balancer 3x Web server 3x SQL Server FireWall included which costs a small fortune.

They told us that their future plans also include a completely new script which should be operational within 4 weeks or so.

Its common knowledge that Bux.to has been recruiting for quite some time in an effort to improve their service to the members. The last time we heard 15 people were employed at bux.to but that has now risen to 20 including volunteers and freelancers. The difference is very noticeable especial with the support system thanks to a very active forum with professional administrators.

It almost seems bizarre when one checks these facts they also find that Bux.to is still listed as a scam site on other PT review sites. These seemingly rushed results bare a contrasting existence with the results found at the Alexa chart and Bux.to's very own proof of payment system with happens to be larger than any other PTC site.

The Alexa chart will also show Bux.to miles ahead of any other known PTC site. To get an idea of what their Alexa position means we had a small interview with them regarding the stats of the site.

UOB: How many members do you have now?

Bux.to: 2.5 Mil.

UOB: Approximately how many visitors do you get per day?

Bux.to: 500,000

UOB: What is your opinion of these sites that black list you so rapidly?

Bux.to: We believe in them having freedom of speech even if what they claim isn’t true, at the end of the day our facts speak for themselves.

So there you have it Bux.to has gained so much success that they have the right to be slightly un-phased by such black lists. What ever their reason for trying to discourage people from signing up at bux.to the 2.5 mil members with 500.000 visitors shows us that it isn’t harming Bux.to or stopping them from growing as a business.

Recently at a global forum conference the worlds most famous entrepreneur Bill Gates spoke about how he is an optimist but and impatient one who feels the world is getting better but not fast enough and one of the reasons for this is because wealth is not accessible to everyone. We feel that what Bux.to is currently doing is knocking at the door of this issue because literally anyone who has a computer or access to one anywhere in the world can sign up and earn money at bux.to there are no countries banned from signing up with them.

As materialistic as it sounds in reality money is what makes the world go round, it pays our bills and puts food on the tables providing it with not only our essentials but our luxuries too. Because of this it’s hard to find a reason why people should not sign up with Bux.to and try to earn money there as it is quite simply the easiest way on the internet to get a lot of money for so little work."

Bux.to To Get Makeover!

Bux.to is all set for a facelift! During the last month Bux.to members have had the chance of earning 1000 referalls by creating a new design for Bux.to The company is less than a year old so some would say this is a premature move; but, with many copy-cat PPC websites out there, I think this was a very wise move. At the moment the Bux.to members have had their chance to vote for their best design, and now the Bux.to staff have completed their voting for the final design. Apparently this is NOT the final design, elements from other designs will be implemented into the new design & those whose designs are implemented will also receive referealls i.e(if 10% of your design is used you'll receive 10 refs) We all look forward to the new finalised design!

Bux.to Visa Electron Debit Card Released This Week

Many Bux.to members have been getting very excited by the news that Bux.to are all set to release the Bux.to Visa Electron Debit Card. This will probably be made available via ikobo & is available to premium members only, although this may change in the coming weeks/months. This is truly great news for all Bux.to members as it shows they are in this for the long-term & not here just to make a few bucks & vanish into oblivion like many PPC sites do on a regular basis. At present Bux.to pays out & accepts payments by their new payment processor Alertpay. As you may or may not know, Paypal stopped all payments regarding PPC sites about 3 weeks ago & for a while left hundreds of thousands of members from various PPC sites up the proverbial creek without a paddle. The news of the Bux.to debit card is a great idea & will allow any member from virtually any country that accepts Visa to be paid via their card (no bank account required) Premium members who get the card will have to pay a fee between $1.99 (US & Canadian Residents) & $11.99 (International Residents) all cards are sent out by FedEx & you can choose to have it delivered by express (3-5 days) or standard delivery (7-14 days) To any people that are worried that their country may not accept Visa Electron I can say with a good degree of certainty that if your country & ATM machines accept Visa cards you will be able to wihdraw your funds from your card. As a Visa Electron card holder for the last 5 years, I have been able to use the card online & in London, Madrid & Amsterdam (don't ask what I was doing there!) Don't let the 'Electron' bit worry you - As long as they accept Visa you should be okay. If you have any queries regarding the card please leave me a message & I will be only too happy to assist you.

Bux.to Members & Advertisers FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Bux.to is NOT a Autosurf, Multi-Level Marketing, Pyramid, Ponzi, Matrix or "Get Rich Quick" scheme.

Members FAQ:

What is Bux.to?
Bux.to is a new innovative, international and FREE English based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ad on our, "Surf Ads" page.

We can be reached via contact form:
Contact Us


Business hours
10.00 am till 6.00 pm (GMT +4:00), Monday through Friday except public holidays.

How does it work?
You view websites in 30 second sessions via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned $0.01 and as premium member $0.0125 for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit. Note Dec 07: The Red 'X' problem has now been fixed.

Can other people in my household join?
They must have a valid unique e-mail address and valid unique AlertPay address/account to register with our program. As far as cheating goes, our software detects users who create fictitious accounts and use the same computer so if someone else in your household wants to join and will legitimately use their account; you shouldn't be flagged for abuse.

Can I have more than one account?
No. There is no need to maintain more than one account. If you've lost your login information, you can request to have it sent to your e-mail address. If you are caught with more then one account open (we have a very strict auditing process before payments are sent) your account(s) will be terminated, your ip address(es) will be banned and you will not receive any earnings.

My network, school or ISP all use the same or randomly used IP addresses, can I join?
Yes, this is fine. The same general rule applies from the previous question.

How much money can I make?
We pay you $0.01 for each website you visit and $0.01 for each website your referrals visit. As premium member $0.0125 for each website you visit and $0.0125 for each website your referrals visit. There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit or referrals that you obtain. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless.

How do I refer others?
Use your unique referral code found within the user area "My Stats".

How can I cancel my account?
Inactive accounts are automatically cancelled after certain time.

Why I have to click twice to see the green tick?
Check your antivirus, antispyware/adware programs, your browser settings for cookies and java script acceptance. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache or reboot your computer.

Why I have not received my welcome email or password request?
You need to make sure that mail from the bux.to domain is not being blocked, Try adding "mail@bux.to" to your address book.

I can't see any ads!?
If you see no ad links on the "Surf Ads" page but you DO see stats on the right hand side then you need to disable all antivirus and antispyware/adware programs. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

My stats aren't updating!?
This is either because your browser is saving the page in it's cache or you're not waiting for the dollar sign to appear after the timer is complete. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

I keep getting "Invalid verification code entered." when I try to register or login!?
First, make sure you are correctly typing in the verification code. If you are typing in the correct code and still having problems then it's something to do with your browser caching the previously used session image. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

How often are the statistics updated?
Stats are updated immediately.

How do I get paid?
If you have at least $10.00 accumulated, you can click on your account balance within your stats area and it will submit your request. Currently, we only make payments via Alertpay. We will soon be using other methods of payment.

When do I get paid?
You can request for payment once you're account balance is at least $10.00. Your payment will be processed and issued via Alertpay or Bux.to card within 30 business days for premium and 60 business days for standard members. You can only request one payment at the time.

What is Alertpay?
AlertPay is the payment processing solution that we use to pay members. Your AlertPay address is the e-mail address you use to register with Alertpay. You can get a free AlertPay account HERE

Why did I get paid less then what I was owed?
Alertpay may charge a small fee when you receive funds.

Advertiser FAQ:

How does the advertising work?
When you order an advertising package, we first approve the site and then insert it on the "Surf Ads" page. All new ad entries appear at the top of the list. We only charge you for unique visits that our members generate. All outside visits are free. For instance, you may order 1,000 visits but you may receive 1,300 or more visits because of non-members checking out the "Surf Ads" page. You're essentially getting more for your money.

Are my visits guaranteed?
Yes. We guarantee that you will receive at least the amount of traffic that you ordered.

Is each visit unique from the last?
Each visit is unique on a scale of 24 hours. Meaning, you will only be charged for the same visitor once per 24 hours. On the "Surf Ads" page, the "Member Visits" counts the unique visits from members and the "Outside Visits" counts each page hit from non-members.

Are there any restrictions?
Your ad cannot promote adult content or illegal activity. We also do not accept sites that use frame breakers.

Why did my ad end so quickly?
Smaller purchases like the 1,000 and 2,500 visit ads usually expire within 15-30 minutes. Sometimes even sooner. Bux.to generally has 1,000-2,500 users online at a time.

Why I have not received my Ad status email?
You need to make sure that mail from the bux.to domain is not being blocked, Try adding "mail@bux.to" to your address book.

When Did Bux.to Start?

Bux.to started on June 12th 2007, and has grown phenomenally in the time between launch & now. Bux.to's owner 'Debbie' must be very happy with the way things have gone. In the time bux.to started many PPC sites have fallen at the way side. Adbux WERE Bux.to's main & only real competitor in the early days, but now bux.to has taken the mantle as 'The Best' PPC around. They now have over 2,000,000 members & the bux.to forum alone has a massive 10,000 members! Based in Hull, England the work load for the shoe-string staff must be over-whelming. All credit to the team (which cannot be larger than 6-8 people) They have a huge task in answering queries via the support ticket system, checking orders for referall packs & upgrades, not to mention all the on-going site maintenance on top of all the other problems they face such as cheaters (members using auto-click tecnology to obtain more clicks) I must admit that when I signed up back in September 2007, I did have my doubts about PPC generally, not just bux.to. Bux.to is free, so I thought "Well, I aint gonna lose anything giving this a go..." Five months later I have over $575 in earnings ($10.46 of which has already been paid) I am currently approx 4 weeks form my next payout ($417) & when I get that paid into my Alertpay I will post a screenshot on here for you all to gawp at! Bux.to is for real & they really DO PAY.
