I have been writing on Reviewstream on almost a year now and I have seen them reject more than 30% of my reviews. And in this entire year I wrote for them whenever I felt like writing. So I haven't been able to cash out even once. Earlier they used to send an email stating that the review is not specific enough but now they have 6 reasons listed on the site itself where they specify why the review was rejected. I did earn the mentioned rate many a times from them but most of the times I have been paid at the bulk rate.
Anyone here knows why they reject so many reviews? And anyone has any tips to get past those 6 reasons for getting rejected and getting paid at the mentioned rate? Any writing tips for writing on reviewstream?

It is a site where we can submit our reviews of many things. To know exactly what are accepted you should visit the website where you can find more information. There was no need to submit personal details, but the rules may have changed.
If you think you want to give it a try be prepared for rejections.

I got paid by them a lot of times and it was really rewarding. But ever since they lowered the amount of pay from $2.50 to $1.50 and bulk rate from $0.50 to $0.30 cents I did stopped writing because I am sure that most of my reviews will be paid in bulks now that many reviewers were submitting the same products again and again and their standard as they say might get compromised so they approved most rates in bulks.
I would rather write my own reviews on my own site rather than to submit it to them. Most of the reviews there now as what you have mentioned were rejected even if it was really a good product although not famously known for or something.
About writing tips? well you have written a hundred I guess, there is no formula than being true to yourself as a user of the product and of course you know what you are talking about and you did not copy anything and rephrase it and just submit it because you will be sued for copyright and for plagiarism.

Yes the rates are way below what a writer would expect for their reviews and I guess it is not much useful writing there anymore. I am about to reach payout there so I am trying to get it done as quickly as possible but now it seems that they are not interested in almost any review that I give to them. Well I guess it is a better to submit articles for some magazines rather than writing there now.

That is what I wouldn't feel comfortable with, spending precious time and effort on writing a review only for it to be rejected. That is what I like about Mylot, most discussions are accepted providing you follow the simple rules. I did try bubblews but didn't have much success with it. I am sorry your reviews got rejected, providing they get a fair account of why they were rejected, rather than reject them with no explanation. That way you can learn and improve and hopefully get less rejected.
