Hello - is anyone using IntelliTXT / Vibrant Media and has not yet received their payment for December 2007 earnings? If someone here is using them, have you been paid for Dec 07 yet? I e-mailed them yesterday but had not heard anything back.
Hi there, I signed up with Vibrant Media in December and was expecting my first payment from them this month (Feb). I haven't received it either. They're telling me there's a problem with PayPal's payment system, and this has been going on for more than a week now. They keep telling me "hopefully tomorrow", but tomorrow comes and it's the same thing again. They tell me that everyone else has been paid except for those of us using PayPal. I have no way of knowing if this is true. All I know is, I haven't been paid and they're telling me it's all PayPal's fault. I receive monthly payments from other companies through PayPal and have never had a problem, yet when it comes time to receive my first payment from Vibrant Media, there's a problem.
My rep got back to me, said they are having issues with PayPal payments (which is my preferred method) - gave me the option of a wire transfer or check. With regards to low earnings, this is due to Microsoft pulling their search campaign for Q1 of 2008, he expects them to be back in Q2 and that things will improve - I guess we will see
I finally received my payment yesterday (the 25th). They gave me the option of receiving an individual PayPal payment, rather than using the mass payment system which they're having a problem with for some reason. So I took the individual payment, even though it involves losing some money due to PayPal fees. At this point, I'd rather lose a few dollars than not get paid at all. Hopefully this is all straightened out next month. No one else seems to be having these PayPal issues. As for earnings, my earnings dropped by more than 50% with Vibrant Media after Christmas. The month before that, my Adsense earnings dropped by more than 50% overnight and have never recovered. I also use Chitika, but they've never performed that great. At least they're consistent. I consistently don't earn much from them.
