Do Ciao Still Pay???

there have been some changes since you are away. They removed the 25 cents fixed rate per review and now we can only earn if our reviews are selected to be the best review in the category. They are saying that they created a premium fund and the money would be used to pay around 800 reviews monthly and so this made competition really tough as there are many good writers out there in CIAO but only a minority of them would be paid for their efforts. However, they still maintain the rate/read incentives which mean that we can still earn cents for rating other members give us and i have been getting some money from there and these add up to give me an amount which enables me to reach cashout. So now we can see more members actively rating others' reviews and hoping that others would do the same. In this way, they are helping each other earn and i think this is a fair practice although CIAO forbid it. But i guess no one wants to write review for free cos CIAO is getting at least 80-90% of all reviews written monthly for free with this new system so members are getting back at them for introducing the new system

I haven,t been to Ciao either but last month they paid me some part of the premium fund even when I didn't do anything. I am not motivated by that site so I don't think I'll be checking back with them unless they pay me again some part of the premium fund this December then I will try to get at least my $5 over there. The rates were very generous at first but I think Ciao was greatly affected by the economy so they had to cut back on their expenses.

hi legendro ciao is not paying any flat rate rather they are paying for good reviews they r distributing their fixed budget among 800 or 600(i'm not sure) members.i left that site now,yes you can earn from rating .

i'm not active in Ciao now but i think it still pays

Yes CIAO still pays. My payment for November appeared in my paypal on Dec. 16
