Hello All Indians, Just wanted to inform u all that the TrekPay will not pay by PayPal anymore, they will use the alertpay and alertpay is not provide bank transfer facility for India, they only provide cheque with HUGE Fee for India. So Bye Bye Trek Pay.... If anybody using any good PTC site please let me know.. Thanks in Advance.

Oh ma God..!!! Friend, am from India and in Trekpay am about to reach the payout. But during the time they had asked Paypal about and have given only Paypal account there. I dont have an Alertpay account as its not linked with Indian banks. So what can i do?

no no friend.you are thinking other way .i am saying that when i reach about 100 dollars in alertpay then i withdraw my earnings.so 4 dollar per check is not costly for me.

thats not a big matter you can surely send your money from AP to Banks by third party Exchanger service with little extra charge.

I am not sure about this issue.I checked my account and I see paypal payment processor in payout box.I didn't received any notice from them.anyways that is not a problem for Indians.one can use there alertpay earning in other paid program.trekpay is not a good money making site and no body would like to transfer $5 in bank account.as far I know the minimum amount for paypal Bank transfer is around $50.

Hi, If you logon to the trekpay you will find the announcement that they will not pay in paypal and one more thing is that minimum ammount for the paypal bank transfer is $10 not $50.

Hiya! I have been inactive from Trekpay since I got my first and only payout. I dont have referrals there you see and I dont participate in Kooday. I do have an Alertpay account but I dont ever use it. I dont have funds there too and I have no idea on how to withdraw my funds from there if ever it had some. So Im sticking with paypal. At least now, Id have one less site to worry about. Im sorry for your limited choices. Maybe you had better luck earning online than me. Maybe you could find another program that would work well for you, or you could find another way. Goodluck and Happy New Year!^_^

You can link your debit card to your alertpay account. They charge $5 for transfer but it works. And i feel trekpay will turn scam soon cos they have not payed since 5th January 2011 .

Hi ayanbanerjee, thanks a lot for informing. Alertpay is no doubt not as friendly as paypal so far as we Indians are concerned. I have already received a few payments in my Indian bank account from paypal without facing any difficulty. I already have a few dollars lying in my alertpay account and I consider it useless as it will amount to a smaller amount on paying $4 fee charged by them for a cheque. I also find it difficult to trace a trustworthy one who is willing to exchange alertpay money as I already have faced a few scams like all others trying to earn online and do not want add one more to my experience. As such I avoid joining sites with alertpay option and feel cheated when they suddenly change their payment gateway like TrekPay. We have to swallow the bitter pill and avoid these sites. Sorry for those who are on the verge of payout and have already invested a lot of time there.

I was on Trek Pay but have now left as they stopped paypal. I could set up alertpay but to be honest I dont want too many different things linked up to my bank account so prefer to stay with paypal. Luckily I only had made about $1.40 so I dont mind leaving it, if I had got close to reaching payout I would be annoyed.

Well you can try onbux and sidetick since I know they pay.To make any money from onbux you need to rent some refers and you can use the money you make from sidetick to rent refers in onbux.You can make $15 per month in sidetick with out any refers and more if you look at other members pictures per day.

as far i'm not active in trekpay no need to worry for me,but still no need to worry people who are active and getting paid in alertpay because they can send money from AP to Indian banks by third party exchanger service instead of costly check.
