With this many reviews, you are bound to find out all you need know about AllAdvantage's viewbar, pay outs (in several currencies) and other useful facts. However, read my predicament to hear it from the other side.
Earn cash, or so they promised. I did everything right, even managed to sign up a modest 20 referrals and was made an A+ member. Then AllAdvantage announced I was being investigated for running multiple accounts. I have no idea how, as at the time I was lucky if I spent enough time on line to hit the miserly 15 hour limit, let alone run more than one account. Not to worry, justice would prevail, or so I thought.
Well it did, just v e r y s l o w l y. It took eight emails and nearly a month for AllAdvantage to suddenly pronounce me innocent. No explanation was given as to how I had exonerated myself, I was simply given my account back.
The experience had not been a good one. I was expected to send all my account details (code, password, mother's maiden name, the lot) by unencrypted email if I was to discuss anything with them. I was lucky if I received an email after five working days. Mostly it was automated replies from an email server. It was never revealed what I had done to arouse suspicion of breaking the rules. My account was simply frozen.
Still, I thought everything had been reasonably resolved when my account was reopened. Oh no, I have just received another email, less than a week after I was declared legitimate, my account has been suspended again.
Make of this tale what you will. I don't know whether these two investigations are linked to the princely sum of 30 pounds sterling (about 45 USD) I currently have trapped in my account. By far the most I have ever raised, although only because the server did not send me a cheque when I passed the limit two months ago.
The recent change from a regular pay out to the chance to win leaves me unimpressed. Until recently AllAdvantage was eager to brag about the enormous number of members it has. The odds look tiny from here and smell of a company trying to cut costs. I hope they're not about to vanish into liquidation, they still have my thirty quid. Who knows if they survive long enough, maybe they'll let me have it. I'll edit this review when I find out.
