Have you all heard about the changes in payment at Trekpay? Earnings are still through paypal but you will now have to wait 2 weeks for your payment. What I'm curious about is will this change anyones feelings on Trekpay? Or will you still visit and click their links and just be paid later. I don't mind being paid later as long as I'm paid - so I'll definitely keep clicking on Trekpay. To read for yourself: (came straight from Trekpay website: https://www.trekpay.com/viewfaq.asp?action=2&category_id=3) When and how do I get paid? Effective policy change: Oct 28 2009 Trek is implementing a 2 week pending period for payouts to PayPal. The reason we are implementing this pending stage is to allow PayPal enough time to clear payments from our paying Clients. Trek has been paying out commissions on purchases and later being notified by PayPal that payments received were fraudulent, resulting in losses to our business. PayPal has suggested that we place a 2 week hold on payout requests to minimize this problem. Trek will still make payout runs once per week but members must wait the 2 week holding period before they get the monies sent. Once each week Trek will run a payout. This will occur sometime between Tuesday-Thursday. Check your account for the amount of money. When you have $5.50 or more then a request for payout to PayPal option will appear. Make sure you have inserted your PayPal email address or your payout cannot be processed. Once we receive the payout request the monies will be deposited into your PayPal account after the 2 week holding period.

I agree it's out of their control. Why is it everyone hollers scam at anything different or necessary changes that have to be made? LOL! We'll just have to wait for our FREE money! the reason for the changes is because they were scammed! I too have been paid from them twice and have 16 referrals there, I still think it's a great deal. Like here we have to wait also! tdemex

That's one thing I always have to brace myself for when I post a discussion like this. Because you always have the people that will say OH IT'S A SCAM! When I've already mentioned in the post that I've been paid....... LOL Ugh...people!!!

I agree sometimes it is out of their control. I would not call them a scam site if they fail to pay in the future, because they did not set out to cheat our money, it is just business went bad and the need to fold their business. They just need a better business model.

Trek pay isn't a scam. If you read above, they had to make these changes simply so they could stop losing money. That in return will keep them "in business" longer. I've been paid by them several times, definitely not a scam.

Well Jul14nch0, I just recieve payment from them just last week, I cannot guarantee that they would not turn scam. However my person feel is they are trying to be good pay masters. They would do anything to keep this going. I wish them well and I hope you get your payment too.

Ok I will not cry foul and thanks for the info. Never checked it, partially because I am only midway to my payment. Of course it's a good change if it makes them more stable. As long as they are paying and are paid, all is fine! :)

Totally agrees, I think it would be a more sustainable model. I do not mind as long I know they not out to cheat our money or waste of time like some of the sites out there.
