I wanted to pass along to others my disappointment with VelocityClicks. While it seemed like such a good ptc site with up to 2 cent ads, they seem to have changed the rules about payout without telling us. Unfortunately their forum is down and there are no FAQ's to look thru as it seems to be linked to their forum. According to the terms, a link that does still work, it doesn't say anything about being upgraded in order to receive payout! Well, as of today, I reached $10.01 and tried to request my first payout. Instead of being taken to a screen to fill in my payment processor information, I get this message instead: Quote: You must be a premium member to request your account earnings! Click Here To View History It may take up to 10 business days for us to process your payment request. If you are a upgraded member, you will get the payment within 48 hours guaranteed. For those of you trying to make some extra money online without having pay to upgrade, I'd leave this one alone unless you don't mind that you can only redeem your earnings for ads.

Thanks for the headsup! And here I was still banking on payout from this "nice" site. This, by the way, is the second site I come across that insist on upgrades before payment.

Sounds like a scam to me. I'll avoid them. I usually don't upgrade as I don't have any referrals. I hope that upgrading isn't a new trend that the sites start. It would cut me out completely.
