After receiving my first cash out of 11.69 cents, I immediately requested a second cash out of all the money I had "earned" while blogging away, waiting for the first cash out to arrive. I ended up requesting a cash out of 63.65! Not bad!
According the cash out date calculator, I should have been paid on July 7th. That was 3 days ago. I am a little nervous, as is my nature, but Bux.to was almost two weeks late last time, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt...for now.

Throughout this experiment I have read many different testimonials about Bux.to. Many, like those put out by Bux.to themselves, seemed too good to be true. Stories of users who had invested hundreds of dollars and seen a near instant turnaround resulting in thousands of dollars in profit. Some of the testimonials were profanity laced ranks, many of which can be found in the comments section of this very site, and describe Bux.to as a company out to take your money and stab you in the back.
Rarely would I find a testimonial that lay somewhere in between those two extremes. I hope that this blog will serve to fill that gap.
A quick recap: I signed on to Bux.to on December 14th 2007. The next day I had purchased 15 unrefered members for about 16 dollars. By Dec 28th I had crossed the 10 dollar threshold and requested a cash out of my account.
Then we played the waiting game. Bux.to waits 60 business days before paying it's standard members so I was not due to be paid until March 27th 2008. We had a lot of time to kill.
By the time March 27th rolled around, anticipation was at a fever pitch, would I get paid? Was Bux.to a scam? The 27th came and went. No money. I became restless. As the days went by, I began to make bolder and bolder statements regarding Bux.to and in turn, Bux.to supporters became increasingly more defensive. Hell broke loose.
Two weeks after the 60 business day payment deadline, I decided that I would have to make a judgment call at some point, a hard line answer to the title question: Is Bux.to a Scam? Yes or No.
I set a deadline at May 4th but that deadline became obsolete almost as soon as I had created it.
I got paid.
I want to be able to stand on my little virtual soapox and yell, "It works! It works! It really works!" but I hesitate. Maybe it's all of the animosity and distrust so many people seem to have for Bux.to. Maybe it is the rudeness and childishness that I've been met with by Bux.to's forum administrators. Maybe it's the way Bux.to's terms of service change without public notice and include clauses that allow them to disable Bux.to user accounts without warning or reason.
For all of the above reasons I have to say that while I have been paid by Bux.to I still do not really trust them. However, whether or not I personally trust Bux.to isn't really the issue is it?
Q: Is Bux.to a Scam?
A: No, they really do pay, just so late that people get a little crazy.

labele:The answer
Just to give you guys a heads up: I am taking off to Japan for about a month and a half on May 4. I won't be able to post from then on so that date will be the absolute end date for this experiment.
MAY 4th the experiment ends. On May 4th, you will get up and check this site and I will make a big bold statement about my conclusions. Obviously whether or not I get paid between now and then will have a lot to do with what will be said.
Also, just incase anyone was wondering, I still have not been paid, and my support ticket has still gone unanswered. There have been some reports of Alertpay being responsible for the hold on being paid, anyone have any ideas as what might be holding up a response from Bux.to support?

Bux.to isn't a scam you dumbass author. The reason why payments are taking so damn long is because Alertpay are too damn incompetent to send funds to other Alertpay members. Do some research before you bash a company that has been paying their members as promised. I've received 3 payments so far from Bux.to, the first two happened during the beginning of Bux.to when Paypal wasn't being a bitch and Alertpay were actually doing their job. Now, Alertpay have their thumbs shoved up their ass and we just have to wait until they fix their problems so Bux.to can quicken up the process. If you are going to claim a site is fraud, why don't you do some research first rather than share your experience about a stupid money processing site going downhill while Bux.to is actually doing what they do best.
Fucking idiot.
Obviously my comment is going to get deleted but at least the author of this blog received his lesson of the day and hopefully he follows it.
Good day.

P.S = And by the way, I don't work for Bux.to for those critics who think Bux.to is sending people here to comment. You all are just impatient dipshits that have nothing better to do while you are waiting to get paid. Here's some suggestions asswipes: Go find a girl, read books, play video games, be social with friends, etc. It's not that hard. We only live around 48,000 days (average man's lifetime) so go out there and do something while you wait.
I've added a new poll, check it out on the sidebar. And in case you're wondering, I still have not been paid, and there still has been no response from Bux.to support.
Its kind of weird to be in this situation. Here I am about to reveal the truth about a company that is either A) illegally fraudulent, or B) just grossly incompetent. At this point it almost doesn't matter if Bux.to is a scam or not, because you simply cannot expect a smooth experience from dealing with them.
Even if they do pay (which is increasingly unlikely as every minute passes) I cannot in ANYWAY recommend them as a genuine stream to make money.
EAT THAT BUX.TO
Also what kind of a domain is .to anyway? You reek of scam.
And the beat goes on... Still no money from Bux.to and no response to the support ticket I wrote LAST WEEK. This is just sad.
Interestingly, I tried a few whois searches on bux.to and while I havn't got anyone's name just yet I did discover that the most people who visit the site are from Chile.
That got me wondering, how many of you are from Chile?
If you've been following this experiment you may have noticed a pattern in the referral activity. When refs first sign up they are super active, clicking as much as they can everyday, but then, after a few months, they seem to barely click at all. This pattern certainly holds true for my clicking as well.
Big thanks to the two big clickers, I hope you remain as enthused for as long as possible. Also I have acquired two new refs! Thanks for signing up, I've sent you each a welcome message through the Bux.to messenger system.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd we're back. Got a few requests wondering where our stats were at so here you go! As you can see, I haven't really been clicking any links, maybe 5 or so since the last update-- which is not very cool, I know.
16 more days to go. Do you guys think that I should extend the deadline? Just to give them a bit of a buffer? I would hate to plant a huge red "SCAM!" across the page, just to receive the money a day later. Tell me what you think in the comments

Yes, I am still alive. I must say I was genuinely touched by some readers concern with my personal safety.
Frankly, I just didn't know what to post. Things have just gotten really, really dry while we all just sit around waiting for the countdown to reach zero.
So here is what I was thinking, why I don't ask you guys what we can do to pass the time. If you have any ideas at all, then please just post in the comments below and I promise I will look at them. Help me keep this thing fresh!
Also, if you are feeling inclined, I made a widget for this blog HERE. Post it all over the internet!

My site has really risen up the google ranks recently. I am actually ranked 4th if you search for Bux.to which makes me think that the Bux.to people MUST read this.
*Ahem*
Dear Bux.to,
It is in your best interest to pay me on time.
Your truly,
Max.

Straight up: I don't think I am ever going to be paid. This whole thing with Paypal has left a real sour taste in my mouth and let me tell you something, I have already made up the big red splashy graphic that says "YES BUX.TO IS A SCAM" I am just waiting for that count down you see on the sidebar to hit zero before it goes up.

Well I left the world of Bux.to for 6 day and since it's been so long I thought that I would do the math for everyone so that you can all see what kind of clicks you can expect out of you refs right now during this "dark" age.
Also, Bux.to has clarified the Paypal situation: Act like PayPal doesn't exist. That it never existed. I had to sign up for an AlertPay account which was a huge pain in the ass. Here's hoping Bux.to doesn't fck that company over too!

As I mentioned earlier, Bux.to recently announced that they won't be using PayPal any more, which is unfortunate because that means the Bux.to scale is tipping even further towards SCAM.
Honestly, I wish I could be in on the decision making over at Bux.to just to see why they are making these boneheaded moves.
I Have Recived My Cash More Than 1 Year

Annnnnnd-- We're back! Sorry for the long hiatus, but I was moving and I just got my internet up an running again. Well, things are on the down turn for my refs. Even my most devoted refs seem to be barely clicking anymore :(
I don't really blame them though cause Bux.to recently made another bullshit announcement saying that starting in Feb they won't be sending payments through paypal and that anyone who wants their cash will have to sign up for ALERTPAY. gawwd.
