May 29, 2009 Mommy Rejects GetPaidToTry.com

GetPaidToTry claims to pay members for trying offers through their site. Like most sites that pay for offers and signups, some of the offers are absolutely free and pay pennies while other offers have you sign up for trials which will charge your credit card if not cancelled in time, but pay significantly more. Supposedly they pay out at $20. I don't know. I never reached pay out level because some offers never credited to my account and customer service was less than helpful.

One of the offers that I tried was for Video Professor. I received three lessons on HTML and only had to pay the shipping and handling. At the end of the trial, I canceled and returned one of the discs as per the agreement of the trial. GetPaidToTry agreed to pay me more than $30 for trying Video Professor. Not only should this offer have guaranteed I reached the payout level on the site, I would have pocketed $20 after paying for shipping the lessons both ways. The offer was never credited to my account.

Of course, I contacted customer service. A few days later, I received a response asking for the proof that I had completed the offer with no return email address. I had to submit a second ticket to customer support. A week later, I was finally emailed again and was able to send the info requested. I never heard from them again. I tried contacting the customer service representative that had replied the first two times, but didn't get so much as a form letter. I stopped doing offers while waiting for a reply because I had actually spent money on the offer and I wasn't going to do that again if I wasn't going to get paid. I kept receiving their offer emails. I just didn't complete any of them. A week ago I decided to click on one of the ads only to find out that I can't even log into the website because they have moved my membership to inactive status. That's how long it's been since they responded to any of my emails. I can't even log in, but they are still sending me regular junk mail. So now I've unsubscribed from the emails at least. But honestly, I wouldn't do any more offers with them even if I could. There are a million and one other sites that pay for completing the same offers as are on this site and some of those other sites actually have a working customer service department. I'll use one of those.
