After a really long time i finally reached $50 minimum cashout limit in readbud but when i went to redeem page its showing "Unfortunately your minimum balance of $50 does not meet or exceed the $50 minimum required to redeem the funds" I have attached a image of this page. Is it necessary to exceed $50 to request cashout?? I can only find it out tomorrow after i exceed $50

Yes, you really have to reach to $50. Well i have an account there too, and i have it since july or something, and i still didn`t reached to minimum payout, i just have $44. I have to say that at first i was making $1.2 and now i barely make $0.15 daily, so it`s kinda hard to reach for $50.

Hmm that's odd. I've been a member for some time but i'm only at $22. I would like to know what happens with your account tomorrow so please keep me posted. No reason to keep reading and rateing articles if i'll never get paid.

I was able to request cashout after i exceeded $50. After i cashedout i got the message "Payout Request Submitted we have to approve your redemption payment to your paypal account can take upto 30days We will send email confirming payment to your email id your mail balance has been reset to $0" I dint receive any email about payment or cashout request. Anyways i have no hopes, just requested cashout and said good bye to readbud

As for me, I reached $50 and requested to withdraw my earnings about two months ago. By now no payment. What do you think of that? legal or scam.

Hi Prajnith, I am a member at Readbud. I was referred by a close friend who needed a few referrals there. I obliged. Initially their number of articles was higher and that meant more easy money. But over the period I have realized that the number of articles per day has reduced. I realized it was a scam but just for the sake of friendship I had joined there. Over the period I found that quite a lot of articles are interesting and it has been a pleasure reading them. I have even copied some of their content on my PC and so now, it is not the money that I am after, it is more about the interesting and useful articles that they have. Cheers, theSids

Hi, it is possible. What is impossible in this world? Say everyday you read 15 articles that worth about 1 dollar. In 50 days, you will get paid, at least in your fantasy. Like this: Soon after you reach 30$, you'll only get 6-7 articles that worth about 0.50$. Next, if you -exhaustedly- reach 40$, you'll get 3-4 worth about 0.20$. Next year you'll get your 50$, one thing you should do is just: Pray to God that readbud will be realized such a trick is sinful and the deserve to stay in hell for it... IT IS SCAM!

Hmmm this is another strategy of Readbud to deny payment. It has been resorting to different kind of strategies to evade paying their members who diligently worked hard for the payout. This is the reason why I have been warning people around for as long as I have the opportunity to keep away from Readbud. When I learned that Readbud is a certified scam through this http://www.bukisa.com/articles/323273_readbud-get-paid-to-read-articles-a-certified-scam Well this story is enough for me to stop working in that site. Beware of Readbud!

It's a big scam site. Many users have been scammed. I heard that the site is managed by AWSurveys, which is well known for scamming people. Just look at their so called 'minimum payout'. It's so high! How can people ever get to the payout? Quit Readbud. It's not worth your time.

Now 20 day is past when I requested for readbud amounts and then my amount immediately shows 0 on my readbud profile. and they told me that I have been paid in next 20 days but now no any message comes from Readbud so now I am also sure that Readbud is a scam site so now I don’t like to work on this site until I get my last payments.

I'm not sure if readbud is a scam because I have not reached payout but I'm nearly there soon. It does not hurt me if I don't get to withdraw my payout because I'm not reading those articles at all. Since there are already rumpled about it being a scam, I don't want to waste time in reading it but I'm letting the articles run to appear I'm reading. At the end of it, I'm not losing anything if readbud decide not to pay at all.
