Sneaky Peak at New Bux.to Design + Debit Card Payments Already Being Made!

Well this is the news most of us have been waiting for on the Bux.to forum - The news that the new coding for the new website design is 98% completed now & they have already paid members to their new Bux.to MasterCard's! - This is quicker than I expected I wasn't expecting members to be paid so soon, but this just shows how hard all the staff at Bux.to have been working for the last couple of months. There are also Bux.to nominations for 'VIP' members at the moment, a new status introduce about three weeks ago. Members that have this status on the forums seem to be always there, knowledgable, helpful & polite - So if you spend most of your days on the forums & know a hell of a lot about Bux.to you're in with a shout - Good luck to all the nominations your contributions to the forums have been excellent & your nominations are greatly deserved. Here is the very latest update from Bux.to:

"1. Script is about 98% done, should be finished by end of next week. We're just finishing up the helpdesk module, with this module, when a member send support we will have all the necessary details. The current ticket support requires you to type in your details everytime you send etc. and we hope this will reduce spamming in the tickets and provide better support with faster response time. We will need 1 week to test after coding. Expected launch in mid April. You can see a 'sneek peak' of the new design in the attachment. New script at the moment has the best autoclicker detector available, if you use an autoclicker you will be ban.

2. Bux.to card payments initiated yesterday, serveral members have received their payments via Bux.to card. Please note there is may a couple of hours delay by notifying you and getting your Bux.to credit for. We continue to pay all the members, premium and free through AlertPay and card as you can see from their feedback. Minimum cashout request to card is $75. If the payment request is less than $75, it will be cancelled and you will have to place a new one."

Bux.to Members Now Recieving MasterCard Debit Card

Well it was 19 day wait from applying for the Bux.to MasterCard, but finally I have been approved. It just goes to show how many applicants they must of had as their normal processing time is 2-5 business days. So know I can relax in the knowledge my card is on it's way to me. I was a bit worried as my passport expired in February & I only had my National Insurance Numbers as ID which worked out fine in the end. There are hundreds of members now that have been approved it may actually be in the thousands. For those that are still unsure about the new payment system I have put some links below to some of the forum posts on the official Bux.to forum of those that have been approved & those that have already received their cards.

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 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!

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.

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..

Another week & another Bux.to update on the forum. Apparently the Bux.to card has been delayed slightly & the tech team are still working on the new servers performance & stability. There are many exciting things happening with Bux.to at the moment & we are all very pleased to be getting regular updates from Tri one of the Bux.to Admin. Below is the latest update from

3. Regarding Bux.to card again...just talked to our coders, they said they already corresponded with the relevant people in order to perfect the API and should be ready today or tomorrow when thorough testing is completed.

This is all great news, but what I like about Bux.to admin & especially 'Tri' is the frequency of the announcements. We all like to have REGULAR updates it keeps us informed, up-to-date & also stops many members posting the same old questions we read a hundered times a day in the forum! Communication is the key to running any successful business & in Bux.to the communication between its members has been top notch. Please keep it up Bux.to, we all sincerely appreciate all the hard work that is being done there.

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.

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."
