The Answer

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.
