Generation12, e-gold

Update from Generation 12:

Just a quick update. We are not closing the Generation site and we are not going to stop using E-Gold. We are however going to add some payment processors. I think this will be good for members because it will give them a choice. I know E-Gold has weathered storms in the past and I am sure this one will be no different. I will be making changes to the cashout policy. Nothing big, but necessary. I will send out another update this evening on our scripting process.

E-gold

More on the e-gold saga. Not good news.

9PlanetNoSurf, Alert Pay, E-Gold, SurveySavvy

Well, I picked the wrong day to upgrade in 9PlanetNoSurf. Why, because a few hours later, John sent an update saying the site is in trouble. Another update said those who upgraded today, would be refunded in full. I hope so. This site certainly folded fast though, running for only 20 days. Big hype & then it died. Now I know why I don't usually jump on board a hyped up site. DSM, another example of a hyped up site. Luckily I stayed away from it. I prefer the sites which fly under the radar.

Anyways, my transfer from Alert Pay to E-gold was completed today. Took about 4 business days. It's a good, easy way to get money in and out of e-gold. There are fees, but the simplicity of the transfer makes up for them. The fees aren't too bad though. I think it's 4% to transfer to e-gold, not sure about going the other way.

Also received a check from SurveySavvy. It's not a bad survey site. I've been paid by them several times. No minimum cashout. I don't really receive too many surveys from them though.

I have a little extra e-gold at the moment, so I'm looking for a new site to joined. Stay tuned for my decision.

Site-Seer, E-gold, Iwon, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Tried logging into SiteSeer just to do some free surfing & couldn't log in, went to the site forum & turns out they have closed, so good thing I didn't reupgrade. Latest update found here from Johnny says all 3 admins will be meeting today to discuss what to do.

Received a fake email from egold today to confirm my account. Never click on any email links, always go directly to the site and login. Better safe than sorry.

Iwon.com. Everyday they give away $10,000. When you visit you earn points towards entries into the daily drawing. You get a max of 100 credits. Credits are earned by clicking links or doing searches. You also get a free email address. There are also giveaways, a prize machine to spin, pick 7. I've been going there for years to read the news section. Prefer to search at google though. Several years I actually won the $10,000 daily drawing. It was really cool. Got a phone call. Was pretty skeptical it was for real, but they sent paperwork to fill out & get notarized. Sent it back & got a check for $10,000. At the end of the year they sent a tax form. I'd just built my house, so it came at a perfect time. I'm still amazed I won. Definitely a site worth checking out.



If you're into Harry Potter, pre-sale for the last installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7), has started. The book is available in standard or deluxe versions. Release date is scheduled for July 21, 2007.
