[wesman2]

Can someone tell me how Poinclick was suppose to make money? Did they print little ads on the checks they sent out?

 

[becat]

hummmm interesting, I have no idea why they send me an email saying I have $1 cash balance. I have total of $40.01 for pending check. Deos any one know what the hell does this mean? Will I get my checks?:|

 

[BiggieN]

sorry, i jsut read through all the FAQ's on pointclick's website. apparently the money i have left in my account can be used towards a purchase at a particiating retailer, or that's what i was lead to believe. can someone clearly explain how the heck am i supposed to use this money? i have $23 left in my account and i know they sure aren't giving me a check for it.

 

[elSmoko]

hrmm, I wrote an email asking and I got an actual reply from a human, I think. it sounds like good news for those who have 25+ dollars in their accounts. checkit

Dear (ElSmoko),

Thank you for your email. We appreciate you consulting us directly. Your Account History states:

8/28/00 Record approved $648.79 0 $64.88 + $0.55 = $65.43
Current Cash Balance: $0.50
Pending Check Amount: $65.43

You will be paid you $65+ because it is over $25. Those persons with checks pending in August and September below $25 will not be paid at this time.

We want you to know that you check will be paid and you will be notified, when you check has been mailed.

Sincerely,
Adriana
Shopping Network Support

hope that helps someone

Just received this from Point Click:
Many of you have inquired regarding the status of reimbursement requests for the August and September pay periods. PointClick deeply regrets the delay in sending payment to you. We realize this is an inconvenience and a disappointment. It is never our desire to delay payment to any of our loyal members. On Monday, October 16, 2000 we received a commitment for a second round of funding. When that funding closes, we will be able to send your payment to you. These things are never all that precise, but we believe that the closing will occur during the second or third week of November. We will keep you updated as that time approaches.

Once again, we apologize for the delay. If we had the cash to send, we would do so now. As you may have noticed, many Internet companies are not able to get any kind of financing at this time. We feel fortunate that investors see merit in our business and want to fund our growth. We certainly intend for all our members to receive exactly what they have been promised. Most of you have been patient and understanding and we appreciate it.

To check the mailing address that your check is being mailed to, go to the Member Area ("modify account" link) in the PointClick Web site (click on the link below--you will have to login before you get to the page with your information).

I just received the same message. are you believing it?

Yep, all that have pending checks apparantly got that. True or not, it echos what I've been told over the phone. I've heard hints that the TV drawings may be delayed as well. It's my opinion that if this new business model of theirs doesn't restore member faith, and subsequently advertiser success, very soon... it's all over but the sweeping up of the IOUs.

If they declare bankruptcy they don't have to pay us. F***!!!

Has anyone noticed that now the 'Daily Prize' is gone? (although there is still some mention of it in a couple FAQs, but it has been removed from the Prize's page.) And now they're giving away a PS2. Of course it takes 6-8 weeks to get even though it is the hottest x-mas gift this year. I just want my $150 check. I've been waiting since the July check.

 

[elSmoko]

you mean, they owe you for july? or the last check they sent you was for purchases in july?

 

[becat]

I got an email awhile back says the Sept. checks will be issued in Nov.

 

[LuZeR]

BiggieN;
i think i am in the same situation as you.
please let me know what happens.

 

[Insomniac]

I just checked, they owe me starting from August 1, 2000. That was when my total went over $25. I had purchases before that, but my total pending amount was not over $25 until August 1st.

 

[zeca]

Still waiting for a "phamtom" check they said they sent in the July time frame.

I'm not holding my breath.
