Hi mylotters. As many of you I am also writing reviews in Ciao. After learning that I will not be able to receive payments there because of PayPal (it is not allowed in my country) I started to write rarely, once a week or less. Today I saw that my earning increased more than 6$ there, although I have not written a review last days. I looked for details of earnings and saw that premium fund gave me 6$! I dont know why they gave me and for which review but I am happy for that ``virtual`` award. I am calling it virtual because I am not able to cash out neither in Ciao nor other sites which pay only via PayPal (MyLot for example). Do you have an idea for what I was given that additional 6$?

maybe you can send your paypal earning to your friend or relative from a country where paypal is accepted..then ask him/her withdraw it and send it to you..hehe.just a bit too risky but if you can trust someone, then maybe this could be a wild option??

I am thinking of it. Maybe in future find a solution. Unfortunately I dont have relatives in a country where PayPal allowed, I have some friends but they are virtual friend and it is risky. Anyway I hope Ciao has other payment methids in future and I make a big cashout))) Or PayPal starts let us receive payments.

Alertpay is allowed and I receive payments only via Alertpay. I am thinking of what you said. But unfortunately Ciao does not pay instantly, and we will have to wait for a month, in that time I may loose that person and my earnings will go(((

Congratulation my friend! I am wondering how did you earn 5$++ today? What did you do?

The Premium Fund is, I believe, shared out between 'top' writers. I think it is a way of distributing their dwindling profits between people who really deserve it (rather than to scammers who get all their friends to vote their reviews).
I am sorry that you have to consider it 'virtual' money because your country is ineligible for PayPal. Is it not possible for you to have an 'unverified' PayPal account which would allow you to buy goods with a PayPal balance although you were unable to transfer the cash to your bank?

At first it's good that you earned USD6 for the premium fund. Unfortunately you can not use Paypal. It seems Paypal is the only one payment method for Mylot. I wonder whether you can get a check by Ciao. Perhaps you shall contact them about this. Good luck!
I love China

Aw.. You can't withdraw your money? How about here in Mylot? geez... look for some friends where you can place your money, and send it to you.. don't you have friends or families from US for example? Where are you from by the way?
yup! I saw you from the first page, i think! top 20 or something that's why you received 6 dollars. I'm on the top 40 so I only receive 4 dollars. Others who are not on the top 50 got 2 dollars.
Have you seen the diamond reviews? I think they received 20 dollars. Congrats!!!!

Ukraine, huh... In Asia? How come there's no Paypal there? Here in the Philippines as far as I remember, we only had it this year so we're very lucky. I also wasn't able to join other sites because of that. What motivated me here in myLot because of the Moneybookers. But now, they removed moneybookers so Paypal is the only mode of payment...
Don't you have someone you can entrust your money with? You can just tell them to charge you with the transfer fees and some transaction costs. What do you think? I was planning that one before. I think it's risky. Anyway, may I know how much you're earning from Ciao? You do have great articles!

Hi, I am from Ukraine and I dont have friends in countries where PayPal is allowed. In MyLot I am also not able to receive payment. But thats not problem for me here, I dont have the minimal and it seems it will take a long time for me in MyLot to reach the minimal. The problem is that in Ciao all my earnings are virtual for now.

I also writing reviews in Ciao. I think is great site to making money online. My earning in Ciao until now $4,37 (per 16 post review). I am exiting writing review product and sometimes I read and put my comment at friends review. But, Ciao give your payment via your paypal account. You can not make your account paypal. I am sorry I can not give you idea for your $6 in Ciao.

Anyway thanks for participation to my post here. By the way, I dont have only that 6$ in Ciao))) I started writing there when they gave 1$ per review and most of my reviews are written in that time. All my earnings are remaining in Ciao for now.

Hi transporter!
I also received $2 from CIAO via the Premium Fund. I think it's a good thing cos I'm almost starting to lose interest in writing reviews when they've changed the payment system but I'm still sticking with them, at least for now. I'm going to try how that Premium Fund and Diamond award works and see how I'll do.
Maybe you got that $6 for the reads and rates you get. I saw in the community section several users who are included in the Top 20 or so for getting the most reads and stuff.

That's really great. Me too have received additional $2 from premium funds though I don't know which review earned that money. I do think they give it to top writers. Regarding Paypal cash out, just wait maybe soon Paypal would allow your country to receive payment from Paypal. That's my country problem too before. We are only allow to spend but not to received but in due time Paypal allow us to do both. We could received and spend.

Wow! that's great! actually im also a member of Ciao community just recently..,In fact i have written 33 reviews and so far i am waiting for my first payment to come..,But there have been changes with their system so i kinda have some lazy moments writing reviews. As far as i understand their new system, every month ciao alots $ 2,000 to their Premium Fund which eventually distributed to members who top the list of their Best Writers for that month! Meaning you are one of the best writers for that month...,Congrats and keep it up dude!

Well I guess you're lucky! Since the new premium fund was established, I haven't been to Ciao at all. I'll head on over and check. Maybe I got lucky too! If I do get any special money from them then perhaps I will write again. It might not be worth it, but at least you get something. Better than not getting anything. Too bad you can't use paypal. That really sucks!

wow that is great for you and i think you must be writing some reviews really well. i did not get any and is not expecting any cos i know my reviews are not really well written and i had seen many others which were better than mine so i am not pinning too much hope on it. i am just hoping that more members would read and rate my reviews so that i can earn from it.
