The Time in my Stats is inconsistent with my actual usage. We are really excited about the overwhelming response and we appreciate the extreme patience of our members. We know that some computers have difficulty transmitting usage time and we are working to make the GetPaid4 Bar more universally useable, as is now it's use is at your own risk and reward. We guarantee we will pay for all logged minutes (provided they are not fraudulent) : ) |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Are income taxes owed in the U.S. on money earned through the GetPaid4 program? You are
responsible for paying any US taxes due on your GetPaid4 income. If you are an International user and we pay you more than $600 US, we may ask you to complete form W-8, which we will provide to you. This form simply attests that you are not a US citizen and not subject to US taxes. We keep your form W-8 on file at GetPaid4. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
What's the minimum payout per month, and do youy allow members outside of the USA? Some companies won't send you a check until you make $30 or $40 but we believe if you earned it, you can spend it. As long as you make $15, we will send a check your way. If not, we'll hold it for you until you make $15 or more. You can live ANYWHERE in the world and participate in the GetPaid4 Program, we send checks in US Dollars to ANYWHERE in the world! We realize that some our international users do not like to receive small checks. We expect to change our system shortly so that any user, US or International will request their check on our site, as long as your balance is over $15. You will get to control when you receive your check - Christmas, tax time, or just any time you need a little extra cash. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
If I use different ISP's but on the same computer, how will the calculation for payment be calculated? Using more than one ISP will not affect your payment calculations at all. |

How much money can I earn? There is absolutely no limit on how much money you can make. You can use the GetPaid4 Bar for up to 75 hours every month. Some other companies only let you earn money for 25 or 40 hours a month. |

|
You mentioned that payments will start January 15, 2000, but if I have had the GetPaid4 Bar since November or December will I still get paid for THOSE months? Yes, don’t worry, you will get paid for November usage on January 15th, and you will get paid for December usage on February 15th. |

How is usage tracked? Your usage is broken up into minutes.

net advertising revenues generated by users. We will be able

After closing the view bar, I could no longer find it on my system.

But as it almost sounds too good to be true, I would like conformation that you do indeed back up this companies claim of ownership by you.
