One of the companies I am working with send me a warning this morning about upgrading my adbux account and this is the reply that I got back when I asked her why not to upgrade.Take all things into consideration :
-AdBux is not much more than a week online
-AdBux does not display the owners name
-AdBux does not display an office number, nor address, nor city, nor state, not anything
-AdBux is paying out slower and slower and keeping members purposely 2 days behind on requests
-AdBux has few advertisements at this time
-AdBux pay on clicks to upgraded members, seems outlandish , that was one reply and the other was proof of how the payouts were changing so rapidly and this is what she sent.

In the beginning, he paid out within just an hour or two.
Then he started paying out after several hours.
Then he went to 24 hours.
Then he went to 45 hours.
Then he went to right on the nose at 48 hours.
Take a look above at the payout request on the 24th at 10:51 am.....
It is now 10:58 am and he is PAST DUE the 48 hour policy of paying out.

I'm also a member of adbux, though I haven't reached payout yet since I've only been a member for a short time. I can understand how the longer and longer delays in payment could make someone suspicious but shouldn't it just matter that they ARE paying out? I mean..would people really argue the point of being 7 MINUTES late on a payment? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I really wouldn't mind having to wait a couple of days so long as I eventually DID get paid.

I'm glad that mnflower warned us anyway. I may not even sign up on that website because of his suspicions, which are probably correct.

Well, I have not signed up there yet. Not sure if I want to sign up for anymore things either. I have signed up for a lot right now, and have a Hard time keeping up with it all as it is.
Well, if this site ends up like a lot of the others, than it is just chalked up to learning experience. I know that not all Sites will last, and that is why you just live and learn and move on.

Thanks for the information. I'm a member there but I will not and never intended to upgrade. I'm close to payout so I'll wait and see what happens.
I did want to ask.. all those payment requests - are they all yours!? How in the world did you make that much money in such a short period of time?
I believe most of the sites like Adbux will die out in time, most of them do in the end anyhow but as long as I'm not putting much time or effort into being a member there and I'm not putting any of my own money into the pot - then I'll continue to let it run it's course and see if I can make some money out of it.
It looks like alot of people ARE getting paid, it's just a matter of how long it will last.

Hi i agree with your first point that is that they are not displaying any real address, contact etc,... but i don't agree with the payment system as they have already stated that the payment can take upto 48 hrs. if they have send the first payment within the 2 hrs then its not guaranteed that they will send the next payment within the 2 hrs. yeah if they send the payment after 48 hrs then the question will arise but till now they are paying theirs members honestly. I have been paid twice from adbux. it took between 24hrs-48hrs to reached my paypal account. if you want to see my payment proof then you can visit my blog http://earnfromadbux.blogspot.com
yeah its sure that you should upgrade your membership now because they will apply the benefits of upgrading the members from 1st hune only then why upgrade now?

I dont' know what adbux is playing at, they've removed the amount the site has earned. Adbux has been around for almost a month now, not a week.
I do wish they let us know who our referrals are. As for paying out, they might be overworked. I'd guess there are only a handful of staff at this moment.
It certainly can't be lack of money because they receive the money first before they put the adverts up on their sites. I would expect most users to have around 10 referrals only or less. Maybe only 10 people have 100 or more (referral purchase). Another few hundred could have 50 referrals? I mean the option to buy referrals has only been around for a few weeks. I highly doubt anyone have time or luck to buy more than 25 referrals.
I've tried buying and I never am able to buy any because they get sold out.

I am a member of Abdux ,too and I don't reach the bottom payment now .
I am afraid of what you said and I am afraid that I could not get payment at all .
there are so many web that they do very well at payment at first,but then they delay the payment ,and then don't pay at all .
It is so bad for us.
I don't know if I should keep to visit Abdux.
