Another way to make a little extra cash for our Disney funds

[FoundMyPrince]

Yes, I was just paid $120 rather than $544. I've emailed them. Check the forums on Expotv.com --- looks like everyone is having the problem. I went ahead and zapped the $120 into my bank account before something happens to it.

It's hard to get motivated to do more videos with all this mess happening. Anyone else? I thought once I was paid it might give me the kick-in-the-pants necessary, but so far it's not working.

It looks like they have an error in the payments going out. I only got the $ 2.00 part and not the $8.00 bonus part. I am hoping they get it fixed. I will keep everyone posted as I am in the middle of talking on the forums and emailing them

Me too. Only $36 of the $173. At this point all I can do is laugh. I have waited and waited for them to get back to me on my huge mass rejection and still no word on that.... but at least they said, "Thanks for being a part of the ExpoTV community" They love me! I'm so glad to know that!

 

[jessica52877]

Yep, mine was $816 short! so yep, that is exactly the $8 part I never got paid for! I was so happy when I saw the email and went ugh when I opened it!

 

[NATALIEBELLESmom]

the admin just said that they are looking into it and it seems to be a bug in the bonus payment cat. I hope they get it fixed soon.

I am bummed too, I had over 30 rejections today for travel reviews, they say they cut off at the end, I SWEAR they weren't like that when I uploaded them but all of a sudden the last word (and ONLY the last word) is cut off on each review, at least I can review them for Sept. I still have 5 pending and DH has 2 pending, patiently waiting! I hope they get the payment bugs worked out before posting to our paypal accounts, we are currently standing at 1450.00 between the two of us for August and want to book Disney as soon as it is deposited. I will be so thrilled to see that money!!!!! And motivated to start in September, I haven't started yet until I see the money for August, guess I'm a skeptic.

Got it! I just got a second paypal for the rest of the amount- looks like problem solved.

Whew!

 

[NATALIEBELLESmom]

I just got the remaining money as well. GOod Luck to everyone else.

I'm glad the payment thing got squared away and some of you have your $$$ already.

I am still waiting on approvals. I have 12 from as far back as 8/22. I totally don't buy the "approved in the order received" business. It is frustrating. I did these weeks ago and yet I see live videos with dates of September. What gives? I even had an in theater movie review I did 8/21 that they finally approved 2 days ago. Usually they are quick with those.

It is frustrating but if they approve these last 12 I'll be receiving like $832 so well worth it I guess.

I have 5 pending for august along with my payment... so they are still holding it hostage I guess. I wonder what for?

That is just utter BS that they use to try to pacify us... I have 4 approved from September already (37 pending from sept) but I also have 5 pending from august...which judgeing by my calendar is BEFORE the september ones that were approved... As long as they pay me soon I will be happy.


Here is my artsy attempt at a PS2 VIDEO GAME REVIEW... Let me know what you all think!!!

 

[brivers222]

so I just got my cat review approved in the following $5 category PETS>CATS... why am I posting it... because they only paid me $2!!!!! ***, mate? I e-mailed them to see what was up.

Here is my artsy attempt at a PS2 VIDEO GAME REVIEW... Let me know what you all think!!!

WOW!!!! How impressive, now are you going to tell us all HOW you did that? Was that using the Windows Movie Maker? Maybe we DISers could all pull together so we could all start turning out reviews of that quality so that they have NO CHOICE but approve all of our reviews.
Way to go Brivers, that was great!

 

[MomofCKJ]

Brivers, that was AWESOME! Nice work!

[brivers222]

Hey thanks everyone!!!!

Yeah that is all movie maker... anything else would be uncivilized

What I did is took extra long footage of the "movie" parts of the game and then chopped it up around the parts I needed. Now it did take a good hour to do all that and get it looking nice, so I was yeah, making $5 an hour if approved... But hey that is something I don't mind my name being attached on so I guess it is worth it.

For the "intercepted alien transmission" <-- which of course now I figure out what I wanted to call it that and not what I did... duh! was found on accident. I was dragging a clip and accidently placed it down in the AUDIO row of Movie maker... and then my inspiration was born. you can take a clip and put it in the audio and it will play over top of what is on the video section. I just filmed about 1 min of me looking around and then chopped it to size to fit the audio clip.

Sad part is that took a lot of effort and I just don't want to apply that all the time.

I am going to do destroy all humans 2 but the toned down... just enough to get approved in the $5 category. once In a while I will try to impress.

Of course that is all stemming on an approval which as of now is

 

[popstar7867]

Hi Everyone! Three more approved today! One is of a great Disney guide book! If you want to check it out it's under the same user name as my dis username! Now if only those travel reviews would get approved...!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Well, as of now I STILL have 9 pending from August! Last month I got paid on the 16th. They better hurry up! I'm pretty sure they will probably just go through at the last minute and reject them for some stupid reason, because yesterday I had 13 (august) pending and they rejected 4.

But so far they have approved 25 out of my 50 September videos. The other 25 are still pending, no rejections yet. But I do need to go through them all and make sure they were put in the right categories so I am getting paid the correct amount! Still nothing for DH yet. . .

 

[brivers222]

I have five from august still waiting on a decision.

I have uploaded 41 for September already... only 5 have been decisioned and one was the Cat one yesterday that was paid $2 instead of the Category $5 it was placed in... still no reply on the forums or via e-mail... gah!

Their communcation or last there of is really frustrating.

 

[Handbag Lady]

Is it just me or did they change the "search" thingiemabob? We used to be able to look up people by member name...?

 

[brivers222]

they remodeled their site... i noticed that yesterday when I was uploading some reviews.

Also i just got my final 5 decisioned for August. one(1) rejected because I got too excited and uploaded the wrong item... Lysol Tub and Tile cleaner description had (now I named it wrong also... stupid stupid stupid lol) Lysol cleaner but I was reviewing the Clorox Toilet Cleaner with bleach. So that was my own darn fault

Got a reply on the forum about the cat... Because they don't match database it gets an automatic $2 but as the category is $5 they will change it... although they haven't yet and I doubt they would have had I not contacted them and posted the issue in several threads. So anyone who doesn't match database and enters in a website... DOUBLE CHECK when it is approved... they might not give you money you deserve unless you bug them for it. It kinda like they let it ride and hope you don't notice you were shafted.. and it might have been overlooked had it been part of their mass approvals... so double check pay you expected with pay you got. What clued me in was my totals went up by 2 and I did not do any $2 reviews this month.

 

[MomofCKJ]

They approved 10 more for me today, going back to 8/22. Only 2 left sitting in August. Getting there....
