Well yesterday they finally paid me, $161 to be exact. I requested it way back on Jan 29th. I'm just an average skeptical user and have never really earned anything on the internet. I signed up with bux.to using chris as a ref back in early Jan. Is bux.to legit and actually pay it's members? Yes, I have first hand experience with this now. Can you expect to make any money back that you invest into the site? Most likely, ive earned 3 times my investment so far. Is bux.to something that you can depend on for steady and timely payouts? Not at this time, you'll be waiting some months after you cashout. Will this get better? Who knows, they have alot of members and limited people actually working behind the scenes. For now i'll just use the site as an extra cash wallet that I wont count on getting soon, but down the line. ach Ok, i wasn’t going to post on this topic until I actually got paid from bux.to.

Why should any premium member have to wait? The whole idea of being a premium member is getting paid faster. That whole free referrals deal is the gimmick. There is absolutely no excuse for Bux.to or any company of its size not to pay out by a strict deadline. Clearly, their business model sucks.

It's not a pyramid. You only have referrals directly under you, and they are not linked all together which would be a pyramid scheme.

Chris is ignorant, and if he spent 5 minutes to actually research the topic he's writing about he would find out why he doesn't have his payment. People are STILL getting paid like usual every day, all you have to do is look at the forums. The payments are only delayed.

I'm sorry, Chris. I'm not being negative towards you but you did it to yourself when you put your faith in bux.to. In fact, the bottom of the pyramid yeided such a little reward that it feels as though you may have abused the respect of your viewers by asking them for referals (even though they knew of the risks themselves).

Although I wish you had put Bux.to in the subject line of this posting, as the update from Feedburner made no sense ("The Path to Financial Independence: Fail."), and I did not initially make the connection - although I had been following the story. Let us know what happens, will you? Thanks Hi - disappointing, but not completely unexpected to hear this.
