When I checked my account in Ciao yesterday, I know it was just more than $3 in my earnings and I just made 3 reviews this month. An when I log in today i already reached past the minimum amount there and I was surprised to see it knowing that I only made 1 review yesterday.
I checked back later in a few minutes ago and scrutinize it upside down and there I noticed something added in my account balance and that is another incentive and I believe you know what it is. But if you want me to spell it out then it's the Premium Fund for November.
Has anyone got a Premium Fund in your account?

Increased? It is still $5 and that is the same since I started 2 months ago, nothing change in the minimum payout. That's right, that we only earn right now when members read and rate our reviews and although it won't be that easy but it's not that hard either if we are making quality reviews. Members will always go back in your reviews or subscribe in your reviews if they think you write something good and with quality. That is also for the good of the site to get rid of those who make reviews just for the sake of and I believe this is the reason why they remove totally the fee per reviews.

Am sorry not $5,I heard from a member of ciao that the minimum payout is $10 here after.

If that would be the case then there should be an announcement already in the member area about the increase in the minimum payout and also in the guidelines but it still stands the same as of the moment. Check the site if you want and it's clear over there that it is $5 still and not $10.

Congratulations! I think you are a really good writer that is why you deserve to have the additional incentive. Well, I am really not a good writer so I guess I would not get any part of the Premium Fund. But I am still hoping that I will still reach the minimum payout. Congratulations again!

Hi Sirrob, that is great. I know you would make it. I am sure you will earn more. I have not visited Ciao lately since I am quite busy. In fact I have not visited myLot as well. Luckily today I was able to go online. Goodluck and more earnings to come!

Hahahaha, I did check and unfortunately I have not earned any premium fund. Though I got $89 on my account and have requested payment. I am expecting to recieve them after the cut off date. Best to you my friend and more earnings to come. You do deserve the premium payment.

I haven't been online most of the time too because of work related issues that needs to finish. And in the coming days would be a difficult time again since the holidays are nearing and I have just started with my new work. Great to see you here and check your Ciao account, you might have a share of the Premium funds.

Congratulations!
I almost quit Ciao when they stopped paying per review, but I still have some good friends there, so I've been going in rating and reading. I have watching my earnings go from .37 to .41 just from other people reading and rating my reviews, so I thought well I'd stay, maybe there'd be something that I could review later.
After I read your post, I logged in this morning and I also have a Premium Fund in my account. I was pleasantly surprised.

Congrats to you as well for receiving a Premium funds. Indeed it is slower to earn right now but in my opinion it is just right and believe this would help bring back the glory days and get rid those members who just make reviews for the sake of. I am now doing more in Ciao cafe since there are a lot of categories and sub-categories already in which I could express more on what I would like to write.

I haven't earn from ciao yet but I love posting reviews on movies for I know I'll help someone who might see my review on a certain movies. I think we just have to enjoy the flow.

That's right, that is the most important thing to do around any sites, you should enjoy what you are doing so you would be able to sustain it. And the more you know certain products or services the better it would be for you to write something and words would just be flowing.

The more you write quality reviews, the more you reach certain level in your earnings over there. Just take into consideration my case, I only have 4 reviews written last November yet I was able to receive a small amount from it and if we do good there's no way it won't be compensated. Good luck to you.

Well, your answer is not very useful though....You know that SOMETHING that actually You did not share with us....So?
Why can`t You share your success story of "I have 4 reviews and more then $6- but i wont tell You how I managed to get it!!". Ble.
Give some advices better! I would find them useful, because i want to make sure that they pay me someting at all! I joined them about 3 weeks ago, wrote articles and got $1.75. And then: BHAM!: no more $0.25 per article. It is like they always do such thing when too many users manages to post many articles and are expecting to get money for them?
WHAT will be next? THEY will increase the minimum payout till $100?!?
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. Quit it while You can.

How did you know that those who drop a comment gets nothing at all? Remember that you need to read the review first before you make a comment. And every time you made a comment that translates to community points which has some relation in your earnings.

Well congratulations and I haven't received any Premium Fund since I joined in early December and wasn't really enthusiastic after they changed the system. But I am glad for you that you got some surprise there and I hope your earnings will go up there too!

The premium funds was from November reviews and for sure you'll get yours next month. I believe that if we just write quality reviews over there then it would be compensated. It is indeed frustrating to think if we deal with it and compare the earnings from previous months but it is also frustrating to see reviews that's just full of garbage, you know what I'm saying. The more frustrating is those reviews with exceptional ratings and when you read it you get nothing from the review itself.

Hi Sirrob, That is really good that you received some of the premium fund. I am not as active there as I should be so I have not made it to payout yet, I a, almost there but ow they increased that too I believe. They just never said to what yet. Correct me if I am wrong. I am going to try to get more active there so I can receive some of the premium funds too. It could really pay off with a great review and make it worth while to make them more often.

Actually I am a bit surprised about it because I only have 4 reviews made last November. With regards to the minimum payout, it still stands at $5, no changes at all with it. This month I only have 3 reviews yet so far and I am not sure I would be able to make more since December has more days off line than ever.
