Sizzlefizzle update. Confused but have been paid :)

Tweet

I few weeks ago I posted about this site. I reached the payout quickly, and requested payout, which I should have received in the first month of August. I received nothing which is when I made my original discussion. I continued to use the site, which I enjoyed, and soon reached the amount to request payment again. As the original payment hadn't been received my account soon showed at $31.25. I have heard many things since about the site, some saying they are awaiting payment and others saying they had been paid. I emailed the company twice and received a reply to the second saying that they had contacted me regarding payment, and they were waiting for me to submit alot of ID to them. This included full name, address, photo ID and other information. This made me doubtful as to the security of the site, so I ignored both the site and the email for a while. Not looking back someone said to me that the site had recently been hacked so it could have been an extra security precaution. I am now wondering if this wasn't a security precaution but a result of the site being hacked, and someone trying to get my ID. Anyway, last night I decided it was time to update my blog, as I had received my first payment from another site, so I was happy, and while updating I left a negative report about sizzlefizzle. I then decided to pop into the site, and request the last of the money, so I tried to request the balance of the $31.25 after the original payment had been taken off so I requested $16.25. Then I changed my mind and requested the whole amount. I didn't expect anything, and the very earliest I should have received any money was the beginning of next month Well, the good news is that today I received $16.25 into my paypal from them!!! The confusing part is that I only requested it last night and any requests are processed for payment the following month, and also what happened to the other $15 of the request. I checked out the site and I have the balance in there still of $15. I have tried requesting this but the minimum request must be for $15, and if I ask for $15 I get told the amount requested must be less than the balance. Now I am confused, but I think I may try to get it up to over $15, so I can request again. Who knows when and if I will get paid again, but I am glad I receved the amount requested last night. 2 payouts from 2 sites in 2 days! Looks like giving them another chance, and reviewing my blog again. Plus an hour of voting ahead of me tonight too. The good news is that all the votes (all 47 pages) are clear for me to vote on as all rounds have ended. That is alot of votes and should give me a good chance of hitting the leaderboard for the day and receiving the $10 prize. Mixed feelings and confused, but thankful for the payment I got. Anyone else been paid by them today, or had similar experiences?
