Quote:Payza Cashouts & more

17 Apr 2017 05:02 pm
Members, I would like to apologize for the delay with Payza cashouts. Recently, we were informed by our bank that Western Union (which processes most wire transfers for banks) has blacklisted Payza due to an apparent investigation with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This blacklisting of Payza by Western Union has limited our ability to send funds from our bank account to our Payza account. We have been in touch with Western Union and our bank to see if we can come up with a work around for this issue.

We will keep you updated on our progress and hope for a positive result. In the meantime if you'd like to cancel your pending Payza cashouts so you can use an alternate method, just go back to the My Account page and click Cancel next to your pending cashout or submit a ticket to us and we'll be glad to assist.

Also, we have been working on adding new ways for you to make payments to us and we've been in contact with many companies to try and find the a much easier way for you to get your money. We should have an update on this very soon.

I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding.

4/18/2017 - I wanted to clear up some confusion about this issue. This problem only effects Western Union and not other banks that Payza works with. We could use a diffferent bank to fund our Payza account, but wanted to see if we can clear up this issue before we go through that process.

Update on Payza cashouts

24 Apr 2017 02:27 pm
Members, I wanted to give you an update on the Payza funding situation. We opened a new bank account and completed all the paperwork today. It will take a couple days for them to get the ACH and Wire capability setup for us but we expect this to be fully functional by the end of the week at which time we can initiate a wire to Payza so we can complete your pending cashouts. We're hopeful we can start sending the cashouts by the end of the week.

I want to again apologize for the delay and we will do our best to make sure all Payza cashouts are caught up as soon as possible. There are no delays with other cashouts and they will continue as normal.

Thank you for your understanding.

Update

29 Apr 2017 03:42 pm
Members, I wanted to announce a few things that we have recently updated. First, we added all new games to the site. We are NOT paying you to play the games as they are there for your enjoyment.

Countries update - We have enabled Vietnam to register with our site now. This is a great opportunity for you to start promoting for members in Vietnam as we just opened this up today.

Payza - I am sorry for the continued delay. The new bank account we setup to send our wires has placed a 10 day hold on the funds we deposited as it was a very large deposit. We are told the funds will be available for us to wire to Payza this week so ALL pending Payza cashouts will be completed soon. I want to thank you for your patience during this time.

Payza cashouts update

2 May 2017 09:39 am
Members, a portion of the funds we deposited into our new bank account have been released and we already funded our Payza account. We will resume processing Payza cashouts today (May 2nd). The remaining funds we deposited will be released on Wednesday (May 3rd) and we should have all remaining Payza cashouts completed by Thursday (May 4th).

Thanks again for your patience during this transition to our new bank and we apologize for the delay in processing these payments.

All other payment methods will continue to be processed on schedule.

Thanks

Tango Card Cashout - Wyre

5 May 2017 08:35 am
Members we are sorry to report that Tango Card has removed Wyre, the bitcoin option for cashouts. This is the announcement they sent to us:

"Recently we switched our supplier of Bitcoin rewards from Snapcard to Wyre because Snapcard discontinued operations. With the change, we had anticipated minimal customer and end-user impact. However, the recent changes in crypto-currency regulations, including increased identity and account verification and an increase in the minimum denomination/amount available to send or transfer Bitcoins, has caused poor end-user experience.

Our goal is to provide recipients with a hassle-free reward experience. After reviewing all aspects of the switch, we decided it would be best to remove Bitcoin from our catalogs. This decision did not come lightly and we apologize for how this will impact your own programs."

Tango Card has advised us they are adding new options on their platform for our international members. We should have these new options in Tango in the next week. In the meantime we suggest that if you wish to use Tango Card that you select the Prepaid Virtual Visa.

Thank you

Quote:Moving forward with change

1 Jul 2017 02:14 pm
Members, more than 10 years ago we came online strictly as a PTC. As all things go, the ClixSense business model has changed over the years and with the addition of Crowdflower tasks, offers and surveys our core business has shifted. No longer are we just a PTC, but instead ClixSense has grown to be one of the top performing survey networks in the world.

While our survey, task and offer business has grown significantly, the PTC side of our business has been on a downward slide for some time now and more so since the loss of Paypal back in February.

Being in the PTC industry has it's positives and negatives. The positive side of things is that we can provide you with an easy way to earn a little money and for advertisers we can send a large amount of traffic to their websites for a very reasonable price. The negative side of things is a bit more extreme. This caused us to lose our Paypal account (or so they claim), it places us into a high risk category any time we apply for a merchant account or new payment processor. It gives companies a negative feeling about us because this industry is loaded with fraud. What I mean by that is companies who we've approached to partner with us refuse to do so because of our affiliation with PTC. And lastly, from a revenue standpoint, it's not profitable at all.

With the negatives out weighing the positives, and after 10 years in the PTC business, we have decided to move forward without PTC. Beginning July 15th, 2017 PTC ads will be removed from ClixSense. Along with the removal of PTC we have also decided to remove ClixGrid and the premium upgrades, including the corresponding 8-level commission structure. As of today, July 1st we will stop selling upgrades, PTC advertising and ClixGrid. Those of you who have ad credits on your account may still use them until July 15th. Any member who has purchased an upgrade in the last 24 hours will be immediately refunded today. We are stopping the sales so any remaining ad credits or ClixGrid campaigns can expire.

With the removal of upgrades we will no longer have 2 membership types. Instead, all members will have the same policies and options available to them and this includes cashouts. We have decided that we will raise the minimum cashout for all members to $10.00. This is still very reasonable and lower than many other companies in this vertical.

So what does all this mean?
Well, a lot actually. Any member who had purchased an upgrade in the last year will receive a prorated refund for any unused portion of their upgrade. This refund will be credited back to your account balance on or shortly after July 15th. The amount of prorated refund will be credited at 4.5 cents per day remaining on your premium account.

We know with the removal of upgrades and the 8 tier affiliate program that this may have an impact on some members with a large downline. To compensate for this ClixSense will now pay an incredible 20% commission on all direct referral activities. We will offer a single level affiliate program only and this commission is the same for all members as we will no longer have 2 different membership types. This change makes all members equal so everyone will have the same earning potential. This means if you are a standard member now (not upgraded) this change has given you a 200% increase in affiliate commissions (from 5% to 20%). For those members who are premium this is a 100% increase from your current affiliate commissions (from 10% to 20%).

* Please note, the 20% affiliate commission may be adjusted at a later date. We will keep this at 20% for a short time and then we will review our numbers and adjust from there, if necessary. If we end up lowering the commission, it should not be reduced to lower than 15%, which is still more than a premium member was making.

This new higher commission will generate more money for you than what the 8 tier affiliate program did. The reason is more members will do surveys, tasks and offers than those that would purchase an upgrade. In some cases this change can boost a members earnings significantly.

The checklist bonus will now give a possible 10% bonus to all members and the requirement for clicking PTC ads & ClixGrid will be removed.

Daily Checklist Bonus 7.0%
Activity Extra Bonus 2.0%
ClixAddon Extra Bonus 1.0%
Maximum Possible Bonus 10.0%

We realize this may come as a surprise to you but this is a change that had to be done. ClixSense will continue to be the best it can be and move forward because of your support. We are always looking for new ways for you to earn money and will not stop trying to improve our service.

Along with all these changes you will also notice a brand new look for ClixSense. A new website layout with a responsive design (mobile friendly) that is very pleasing to look at and easy to use.

So to recap:
• PTC ads will be removed.
• ClixGrid will be removed
• Premium upgrades and the corresponding 8-level commission structure, removed
• Minimum cashout for all members is $10.00
• Affiliate commissions upped to 20% for all members
• Checklist bonus will now pay a maximum of 10% if all requirements met.


We appreciate your business and welcome your comments, questions or ideas.

Thank you
The ClixSense Team

1. ClixSense prestaje da bude PTC sajt - ukidaju se dnevni oglasi i GlixGrid.
2. Ukida se Premium clanstvo - svi clanovi ce biti jednaki.
3. Minimalni 'cashout'/isplata za sve clanove je $10.
4. Ne postoji vise 8 nivoa MLM-a.
5. Provizija za 1. nivo = direktne referale je 20% za sve clanove.
   (Vazna napomena u veci ove tacke: postoji mogucnost da ce ta provizija od 20% biti smanjena kasnije, medjutim nece biti manja od 15%, sto je veci iznos od onoga sto je do sada bio sa uplacenim Premium nalogom.)
6. Dnevna bonus lista iznosi 10% za sve clanove i izgleda ovako:

Quote:Update to changes - July 2nd
(2 Jul 2017 06:13 pm)

Members, after hearing from many of you and your concerns for the new checklist bonus commission, we have listened to your concerns and have decided to adjust the checklist bonus to 16% for everyone, similar to what we have now for our premium accounts. (12% Regular Bonus + 2% Activity Bonus + 2% ClixAddon Bonus). In other words, everyone's accounts will be equivalent to the current premium status and more.

The 20% affiliate commission will be unchanged.

Also, because July 15th falls on a weekend, we'd prefer to have the change on a weekday, so the changes will not be effective until Monday July 17th.

Also some of you had some very good questions and I would like to address those now.

* I have an advertising campaign setup that is linked to the ClixGrid page. What will happen to this once you make this change?

- We will redirect this to our homepage. This will happen for any page that we removed.

* I have sticky ads running that are not set to expire until after the change, what will happen to these?

- We will stop all PTC ads, ClixGrid ads and sticky ads and prorate a refund of any remaining ad credits or sticky ads.

* I purchased an upgrade for one of my referrals. When you cancel all upgrades, will the referral get the money or will I get it?

- All refunds on upgrade purchases will be made back to the person who made the purchase. So, if you purchased an upgrade for your referral, then you will be credited back the balance of that upgrade.

* Now that you have stopped selling ad credits and ClixGrid, what happens to these requirement for the checklist bonus?

- We have removed the PTC and ClixGrid option from the checklist bonus so that is no longer required. Also, 1 cent offers from the offerwalls are excluded from the checklist bonus. If you look at the checklist bonus you will now see that PTC and ClixGrid are no longer required.

* Will you have new advertising banners for us to promote with?

- Yes we will have new banners created in time for our change on July 17th.


That is all for now. We appreciate your input and look forward to showing you the all new ClixSense.

Quote:Affiliate signup commissions update
10 Jul 2017 02:53 pm
Members, as you are aware on July 17th we will move to our new business model and we wanted to give you an update on what the signup commissions will be.

Here is an overview of our current affiliate signup commissions:

Premium members:
$2.00 commission on first $5.00 earned from their new affiliate.
$0.30 signup commission on new active affiliates in top tier countries.
$0.10 signup commission on new active affiliates in other countries.

Standard members:
$1.00 commission on first $10.00 earned from their new affiliates.
$0.15 signup commission on new active affiliates in top tier countries.
$0.05 signup commission on new active affiliates in other countries.

Effective July 17th ALL members will get the following signup commissions:

$2.00 commission on first $5.00 earned from their new affiliate.
$0.30 signup commission on new active affiliates in top tier countries.
$0.10 signup commission on new active affiliates in other countries.

Top Tier Countries:

Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Chile
China
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hong Kong
Ireland

Japan
Malaysia
Mexico
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Saudi Arabia

South Africa
South Korea

United States


*Due to some members who try to abuse our system and create multiple fake accounts or use PTSU we do not pay affiliate signup commissions instantly. Instead these commissions will be paid whenever certain conditions have been met but not earlier than 10 days after the signup date.

These conditions include, but are not limited to, performing at least 3 actions on 3 distinct (different) days. We cannot reveal more than this to avoid abuse. Simply put, if your referrals are active you will get the signup commission accordingly.

There were also some questions on whether the $5.00 bonus for every $50.00 earned in completed tasks was being removed. It is not being removed and will remain.

We will review these commissions each 90 days to see how effective they are and change them if needed but we do not expect any changes as this has worked for us in the past.

Thank you

Quote:July 17th Update

Members, we would like to give you an update on the progress of our changeover. As you can see we have already moved to the new site layout and removed PTC ads and ClixGrid. Many of you are still writing in asking where did the PTC ads go. If you happen to miss our announcement you can access it here:

Frequently Asked Questions | ClixSense

Also, not everything is updated and we're still working on the site. If you find a bug or something that isn't working right please submit a ticket and let us know.

Refunds: We are also getting a lot of questions on the status of your upgrade refunds. This will be done as soon as some other updates are taken care of. We're hopeful we can get all refunds taken care of today, but if not it should be done in the next day or so. We promise that we will get everything done as quickly as possible.

Affiliate links/banners: We've had some questions about advertising campaigns on other sites that are targeted to the PTC or ClixGrid pages. We have now setup a redirect for you so if a campaign you have running is targeted to one of the pages we removed, it now redirect to our new homepage.

We have all the new banners and splash pages updated. If you are using the html code we gave you to promote then you do not need to do anything to change your advertising banners as they will automatically be updated. If you have an old banner on your website we suggest you update it with a new one.

We appreciate your patience during our changeover and we will keep you updated on our progress or if anything changes.

Thank you

Quote:Delay with Payza Cashouts

2 Aug 2017 10:37 am
Members, I apologize for the delay in processing Payza cashouts. We have 2 wires that were sent but have not been funded yet. I was told it can take up to 4 business days to credit but we've waited longer than that. They also switched their banking partner so this could be the reason for the delay. We have been in contact with them daily and we're hopeful they can get this straightened out ASAP so we can get your Payza payments processed.

All other cashouts (Skrill, Payoneer & Tango Card) are being sent without issue.

Thank you
