    2 Stars Dont Get Pounds Updated April 3 2001 22/03/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages £1 per hour, if I ever see this

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I think they are keeping us in the dark

    Get pounds had a lot of press exposure when they claimed to give people up to £1 per hour for doing exactly what I am doing now. SO hearing this from a friend I immediately signed up. Around 6 months later I havent earned a penny, nor have I seen a banner add. Nor has my inbox been graced with the presence of any correspondence from GetPounds. When I first signed up to the service they said everybody had to wait for 50,000 people to join up before they could make the service financially worthwhile for them. Then they told us in February 2000 that thay had nearly reached their quota and that we ... more

    2 Stars Full of Hot Air 13/02/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Promise to pay £1 an hour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages been a year and still not up and running, full of hot air

    One simple rule for you “If it looks too good to be true – it probably is” This is even more pertinent when applied to the many Internet ‘Paid to’ and Reward schemes out there. Not just the US ones, but obscure South American sites crop up promising in broken English ‘much wealthiness for your computer surfing’. Europe is not immune either and here in England we most definitely have a couple that promised bug and are woefully short of delivering. One used to be called ‘Sharkhunt’ and became ‘Yellow Bubble’ relaunched a couple of ... more

    1 Star Get paid...if they start... 22/08/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Hmmm...they promised £1 an hour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They never started showing ads, they fell down a hole

    Well, I've signed up, I've accessed their page god knows how many times, I've downloaded their software, I've installed the software, I've tried the software, I've told all my friends, I've signed up some of my friends, and finally I've waited.... Getpounds.com are just another one of these get paid to surf schemes that just hasn't taken off the ground. I'm sure everyone is now aware of what these get paid to surf things are but incase you've been in a closet since, well '98, here it is: Basically they get you to sign up, and download their piece of software. When you run it, it displays ... more

    2 Stars Its like a diet, you lose pounds 16/06/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent earning potential

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Never can earn that £1 an hour, the site is bankrupt?

    Getpounds.com is another one of these adbar ideas that pays you to surf. It all sounds so good when you read their little blurb and think 'I can make £1 an hour for sitting here and looking at ads, infact it can just sit there while I am online, that pays for my phone bill then.' The thing with this site, like so many others of its kind is simple, they dont work. I have the had 4 adbars now, the best being Paysu.com, and even there I only earnt a meagre £1.12 in my first month, and I spend over 30 hours a week online! So, whats the trick to getting this £1 an hour figure? Read on..... THE ... more

    2 Stars REDONE When will we ever see ads 15/03/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages There are not any at the moment, as they are not streaming ads. If they ever do though, it will be excellent, as you will be earning money by surfing the internet, and even by writing opinions on Dooyoo!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They have announced that they cannot start as they have a funding shortage. They also do not reply to your emails.

    THEY WILL NEVER START UP: I have come to the conclusion that Getpounds will never start. They have not even got a date on their website now for when it is going to be set up, which implies that they were lying about upgrading their servers. The message on the front page of their website now reads: 'The site will be shut down for the foreseeable future as we are facing critical funding shortage. It will not be possible to register during this period. We will email existing users when Getpounds is operational.' Don't expect them to ever start up, I would try and find another pay to surf program ... more
