Review Stream (Updated 12/03/09)

I found a new site a few days ago that pays you for writing reviews. The site name is Review Stream. This site is quite different from other sites in the sense that it does not have a member home page. All you have to do is type in your email and your review. Now you would say that it sounds like a scam site. I thought so too. I tried searching for evidence of this site being a scam site but I found plenty of good comments on the site instead. Therefore I decided to submit a few reviews and see for myself. So far, I haven't gotten any reply for the reviews I wrote. You see, the procedure goes like this. First you submit a review. The review will be looked at and you will be given a reply within 3 working days. I submitted mine on last Friday night so maybe thats why I haven't gotten any reply yet. They will either pay you the full rate which is currently at 2USD per review or the bulk rate which is 40 cents if you had checked the bulk rate acceptance box. Minimum payout is 50USD via Paypal. That is a very high payout threshold. You would need to write 25 reviews to reach that level. I will write more on this site once I get a reply from them and I will certify this site as a genuine site once I get paid by them. Until then, if you want to check the site out and see for yourself if it is genuine, here's the link to Review Stream.

Now here is an update. Out of 5 reviews I posted, they accepted 4 and rejected one today. The reason they gave was - "Sorry, but we're not interested to buy this review at the rate you are asking". Kinda blunt don't you think? They also suggested "Please visit our FAQ page to learn more about the bulk rate option". Well I'm not interested in earning 40 cents a review so I just edited it and resubmitted it. I also asked them a question about payment. Their reply was almost immediate! 15 minutes to be exact. Wow. That is some really fast help I got. So far I have $8 in my Review Stream account. Once I reach payout (which I will definitely try to reach by next week) and get the money into my Paypal account, I will declare if this site is truly genuine or not.
