Yes we know that Toneaday is paying.But it may turn scam soon - the reason is now they are taking very long time for paying and more and more members are joining the site so chance of spamming is increasing.
I actually reached the payout of $2 on saturday but till now after 4 days also didnot get any payment from the site.My question is if about 500 members are joining and if they pays $2 to each members for testing also,they have to pay $1000 which i think is not posiible.
What you think abt the site- Pls do share

Site doesn't look serious.First thing that I didn't like was no confirmation email after sign up.Strange that they didn't care if people use valid email or not.Anyone can rate the first 100 words in one day, so , it means they should be paid 1.80 $ each.What are the criteria for reaching further levels?Quality rating?What is quality rating?Slow means correct?I don't like this.

because they didn't monitorized properly the sign ups and the referals, they dilited the referal program. i even asked them about it and that's how i found this out.

I don't see where they can get the sufficient amount to pay all the users.

I think with the amount of scams out there, it's natural to be cautious. However, I think it's important to understand what the purpose of ToneADay is. It's not just about rating. All those ratings tie into a different software they have called ToneCheck. You know when you use spell checker/grammar checker on Microsoft Word? Well, ToneCheck is like that except that it checks email content for tone. Our responses to words on ToneADay will funnel into a suppository ToneCheck can then draw on when looking through email content for tone.
That's how I understand it, anyway.
The company that created ToneCheck & ToneADay have other products (see Lymbix.com), so maybe the money they're paying ToneADay users is coming from sales of those.

I have also experienced that. It keeps on saving but it wouldnt get done even after a few minutes so I had to refressh and start all over again. Words keep on repeating as well. I dont know if it's a test whether you rate the same word in the same manner..

I joined there a few days ago.. and.. I have rated, and as you guys experienced I didn't get that email notification to tell us the next step would be. Then I contacted the admin and got replied. He said that my ratings were rejected. I am trying out again.. But after reading this, pulls me out to continue ratings..
So confusing.. actually it is a fun site to earn as well.. =.="

interesting topic!
I just started with this site. And I am now in the "qualification process" to see If I can participate. Its been 3 days and they still have not contact me saying I am approved. So I then start to think is this a scam?
Seems like one. I mean if I haven't heard good things about it, like they pay. I would have opt out. I'm not even sure if this is normal. But I'll wait and see if i am accepted or not.

I am on same page..I completed my first level and still waiting for e-mail notification since last 5 days .usually people got e-mail notification in couple of days so I doubt if i ever gonna get any e-mail from them.this site seems to me now as a smart scam ,where user finish there first level task and keep waiting for e-mail from them forever.I know members got paid before not now everyone got to wait for there e-mail which never arrives.

well one of the reason why i think it's taking some members longer to get their money is because more people are signing up. they tell you when you sign up that they check each account. so since the number of members increased it's understandable why the waiting period to get paid has increased. i have been paid 3 times already, with my 4th payment pending. so no i don't think that they are a scam site, because i did the work and has been paid. i actually think that it's better for them to pay us at the end of each month, that way the members will no when to expect their money. then if you don't get paid when they tell you then i would start to worry. you said you have been waiting for 4 days, well it tells you when you request payment that it can take up to a week. it's possible for them to pay 500 members $1,000 because they have done it already. from my understanding this site has been around for a couple of months and has been paying it's members. there just has been some delay in payment with the sudden increase of signups.

I didn't know what did toneaday. I didn't know how could they paid the member. I just saw the payment proof that posted by my friend here and I believe him. I joined toneaday just want to earn money. I done qualification test just in few hours and waiting for the email that will send to me. It has been 4 days now and no email sent to my inbox. They said that the process of verifying would take a time up to a week. I hope I get the answer in the next few days.

I am hoping that this site is legit. I too am in the qualification stage and have yet to get anything.
I hope it is not a scam, because if is not I think it could be a good money maker for us dedicating internet users. I guess we shall see what winds up happening.
