:banana: :banana: Yeah! The cap has been increased to 60! At $5.00 a pop, that's an extra $100.00 for DH and I together:cool1: !
 

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.

I reviewed a copier/fax/printer/scanner for the $10 office product category and also got $2. I sent them an e-mail and we will see if they fix it. It was in their database too!
 
I still have 10 pending for Aug. I think they're probably going to reject 2 of them. It doesn't make a lot of sense, I filmed like 10 vids all at once, didn't move except to pick up the next item which was right next to me. I edited and uploaded them the same way. Half have been approved, 3 have been rejected and 2 are in limbo........... I'm not going to make near what everyone else did, only about $300 but it's $300 more than I had and it pays down the extra I put on the cc this summer while I wasn't working.

Did anyone else get the newsletter email yet? They said they got submissions from over 900 people, 42% of reviewers didn't have a single rejection, 80% of the reviews were approved and half of all rejections came from just 10% of reviewers. So 90 people accounted for 50% of the rejections......... not too bad. If you know who is right, that could be part of what is taking so long, two people have to review it to reject it so it's twice the time and work to get them processed.

I don't know who here suggested it but I started a spread sheet to keep track of what I've uploaded and the catagory it was in. I put the date it was uploaded and then when it gets approved I put the approval date and the amount in. If anything is in a catagory I think may not be right, I flag it red in the catagory so I can watch it. I also shade rejected items red and list rejected and $0. When I get paid for Aug, I'm going to shade everything greem (lime of course...) and I have a colored line separating the months. So far it's working for me.
 
This is driving me nuts! I did get paid and in full (2 seperate payments) but DH still has 13 not approved or rejected. His were all in before the last week of the month. I kept thinking they would go through shortly but they still aren't. I am one of those that has all my 50 Sept approved already. Well now I'll do 10 more, but why don't they have some rhyme or reason to it!

I got $1000 for last month so I am not complaining what so ever, alot of crap to get it though. I did have several rejected, just had enough extra to cover. I really don't see how their explanation for rejections is remotely true though, everyone we know on here had rejections and all people off here I know, that alone I am sure could account for 90 people.
 
Got my last 7 accepted late last night! :cool1: I uploaded 100, 91 were accepeted, 9 were rejected, 1 for not being currently available, 1 for poor video quality, 2 the video cut off before the end and 3 had black footage at the end and 2 of my Disney World videos were rejected because I didn't have clear pictures of myself in the video. (I have good pictures of DH, so I am going to remake them and upload to his account this month) I agree with all the rejections. I don't know what happened to the ones that got cut off and had black footage. Something happened when I saved them in Windows Movie Maker. I'm going to have to double check every video from now on to make sure it saves correctly. DH had only 4 videos made and had all 4 accepted. So we have a total of $939.42 coming for August:banana:

Our goal is to get 60 videos each this month and have them all accepted :thumbsup2
 
When can we expect payment? I guess I assumed we'd be paid on Sept. 15th (stupid I know) and now finances are super tight and I am dying without payment, still have 2 pending. Anyone know when the cutoff is???

Last month I got paid on the 16th. So I was thinking since the 16th is on a Sunday that I will probably get paid on Monday, the 17th. But considering that I still have 10 pending from AUGUST I'm not sure when I'll get paid. :confused:

They already approved 30 of my Sept. videos when I still have all those August ones pending. I sure don't understand their logic! :upsidedow


Here's hoping for payment soon! :wizard:
 
I just got 6 travel reviews accepted!!! They are all of Disney locations if you want to check them out!

Just watched your Disney videos! Great job! I gave them all raves too! :goodvibes

I really like watching the travel destination videos, especially the Disney ones!

I have several Disney videos approved also and 5 more pending! :wizard:

I sent you a friend request from DH (Dadof2Disneyboys). You're already on my friend list!
 
I got lots for Disney approved last month but am wondering with them being so picky for Sept are they still approving Disney restaraunts or only hotels??
Lesley
 
This sounds great, if my computer can handle this I'm going to talk to DH about buying a new video camera, we bought ours before DVD's came out and we rarely use it. Linda :)

Thanks so much!!! I'm going to go check yours out now!!!! I love watching disney reviews! I can't wait to be back in the world in less than 3 weeks! I'm a new DVC owner too so it will be my first time home!
 
I still have four pending from August, all uploaded on 8/22. I can't wait for them to get through and receive my check! I'm also going to check out the Disney travel reviews because I will be there in three weeks and would like to make a few travel videos as well.:hippie:
 

I saw your Destroy All Humans 2 on the home page last night! My Wii Play with Wii remote is still on the home page, but who knows for how long. They approved all my video game reviews yesterday. I'm still waiting on approval for a cruise report. I'm planning on doing a review on the Disney 4 day cruise next. I already did AKV. http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/21/188/Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-Villas/176880 I hope to keep the rest shorter, because I think only the die hard Disney fans will watch the whole thing.
 
Yea! Just got some approvals for Sept.
2 of my DVD's were approved...I was anxious if the quality would be ok, since it is hard to video a TV...but I did it on an angle and must be they thought it was fine. :cool1:
I also had my first travel review approved...CHEF MICKEYS character BREAKFAST!!
Now I am psyched to finish reviewing all our DVD's...I have about 30 more I can do!!!

:dance3:
 
I just checked and Expo FINALLY took care of my remaining August videos. They also approved all four of my September videos.

I doubt I'll have time to do more in September as we leave for WDW in less than two weeks.

As for August, they rejected three of my remaining videos. One because the only shot of me in it (travel video) was of my back and I expected it to not be accepted. The other two were rejected because they say I reviewed them already. They are wrong, but I can't bother to fight them. I reviewed three fish tank nets. Each had a different size and I use them for different things/sized fish. They accepted one of the three. Whatever.

I hope they pay me soon.
