I have heard many thing about ReviewStream. It says, it buys user reviews. I could see that, it says currently it is buying user review at a rate of $2. It further says, if the review is not of a high quality then it will buy it at a bulk rate of $0.40 per review. I have read many reviews from their websites. None of them are of high quality. No famous writer will write review for this site at $2. Those who come to write review here are general internet users who are not very adept in writing.
But ReviewStream at present may be out of money. They do not have enough courage to disclose that. So, they are not even paying a review at a bulk rate ($0.40). Even if I have written a number of reviews with utmost care, every piece of them have been rejected! They are inspiring us to spend (waste) our time to write reviews. But we are writing only to get a rejection mail after a week. They send everybody the rejection e-mail with a common template which reads "Your review is not specific enough"! This way they are cheating everybody! So, be careful buddies.

well, although it is a bit late to reply but I do agree with you, as i did experience the same thing till i decided to direct my attention on searching for other online sources and i'm still searching for some trusty sites that pay fast..
But i just replied to another posted question here where the owner of the question recommended us to check the bulk rate next time! so, i'm gonna give it a try...

hi smiley83...it was me who recommanded checking the bulk rate if you don't want to your review get rejected. Have you tried it? Did it work? Also write a few sentences started with I think, or in my opinion, I like, I don't like ....they like similar sentences!

The last time i went there was i Wrote a simply recipe that is actually good but they rejected that immediately and made insults of that recipe. i said to myself " to hell with them" if they aren't paying any more then good riddance. so, they're still rude to their users, eh. just a note: every thing that you write there becomes there property, one of the mylot users made a discussion about that.

Actually, all reviews have to be 200 or more words. They immediately reject reviews that don't make that limit, so that may have been the problem. I have written a few reviews to the website, but they haven't been reviewed yet. I have heard that many people have been payed, it's just that the website could be a little more user-friendly.

Have you checked the bulk rate box?
My reviews get accepted all the time, about 1% gets rejected and I mostly realised why...if the reviews are not good written, have no opinions in it, or if they all look alike.
But the most important thing is to check the bulk rate box. If you don't check it it means that you want the full rate for your review, which means 2,50 for every review you write so if they don't think you deserve 2,50 and you don't want the 50c as you didn't check the bulk rate acceptance box they just reject your review and that's it. So make sure you checked the bulk rate box.

Hmm..that is very interesting and informative to hear about. I haven't been too active on ReviewStream and the one time I did submit a review there I got paid the bulk rate for it. That doesn't really say might though since it was only one review. I'll have to write a few more and see what happens first. But thanks for sharing your experience. It is something to take into consideration.

So far, reviewstream is paying my review posted. Hopefully they are not cheating because members are trying hard to earn extra income. Actually, they have guidelines in accepting product reviews. If the review satisfied their guideline then you will be paid with $2.00 and if it only satisfied partially then you will pay for $0.40 and if totally not then they will reject your review. I'd done many reviews from them and so far all my reviews are accepted.
