UtilBux Description
UtilBux is a ‘get paid to site’ where you can earn money by clicking on ads. The site works with both advertisers and members to create a win-win community for both parties. Members can make 1 cent per ad they click on and also earn on their referrals (for up to 15 levels).
UtilBux Detailed Overview
UtilBux is new site to the paid to click community. There have been a lot of mixed feelings about this site for a couple of reasons. I’ll go into the reasons a little later but let’s talk about what the site is. The site is the standard site where you earn by viewing advertisers’ ads but you can earn by referring others to the site.
There is a downline system up to 15 levels down and you earn .005 cent per referral. This can really start build up if you start to refer a lot of members to the site. You can also earn .01 per click and .01 from your referrals if you upgrade to the premium membership and 0.15 per click, .015 from referrals by upgrading to the golden membership. I was surprised that this site had a forum where you can openly post topics, chat with other members, and talk to the admin.
The minimum cashout is only $2 and the site pays out very quickly either by PayPal or AlertPay. In fact, there is a section of the forum where people are posting screenshots of getting paid by UtilBux, so this seems like one of the few ‘get paid to’ sites that deliver on the promises.
The problem with the site is that there is talk about how the owner is the site is the same owner of WaveBux. WaveBux did not pay out their members and removed their payment request button after stating that they had cheaters in their system. Many members complained and the few people that did get paid had to go through a 60 day waiting period.

UtilBux Reputation
To sum up, UtilBux is definitely a site that pays out and does so in a timely manner. The question is for how long. Many sites start by paying out their members in the beginning and then later abandoning them. It is definitely risky to get too involved with this site as there is some evidence that the owner of WaveBux is the person who’s running UtilBux. If you decided to use UtilBux, I highly suggest you proceed with caution.

Used to be good, not any more!  I used to like UtilBux. I used it quite regularly as one of my top GPT/PTC sites about 6 months back and received a healthy payout of about $20 within my first month. Due to other ventures, I did end up almost stopping visiting the site for a couple of months only to find that when I returned recently, all the offers on the site ended up constantly spamming my mailbox like no site ever had before and when I did try to request a payout, I never received my payment. Complete waste of time and a total inconvenience that I now receive almost a hundred junk mails daily as a result. Please stay away from this site. it's a good site gone bad. Dont waste your time, find an alternative. |

Not paying Utilbux I joined a few months ago as a standard member, on the advice of my friends have been paid. There are about 4-5 ads for me to click every day and I try to click on them every day. I only took 1 month for payout with some referrals. A few days ago I finally account balance 2 USD and I ask my payment through PayPal. I waited almost 2 months, but till now not been paid. Well, I think utilbux is a scam site do not waste your time here. |

It's a scam The site is running really well at the beginning when I first joined. I even rented some referrals, but then it went down for really long period about 3,4 weeks. It seems like everyone lost referrals including me. The admin didn't say anything about compensation for us. Moreover, the site has been running really slow. Sometimes it goes down without a reason. I was just getting tired and quit. So if you want to get some money choose other ptc sites.

Now it's SCAM  I have been paid once by Utilbux with the help of my referrals. I believed this PTC would be reliable and long-living and they even had a forum. But then things went wrong: they ultimately stopped paying their members. I had reached the minimum payout again but now there was an error message stating it's not possible to pay members at the moment. I went to their forum and there was lots of topics about the same problem, but without any clear answers. My friends too have complained that they haven't been able to cashout. Evil. It's very likely that Utilbux is now a scam and I have stopped going to the site. I don't expect to get paid. The website is still stuck in the Christmas theme and seems that the admins are gone, only the site remains. New users - don't waste your time joining. |

Give it some time I read a few reviews on this site and it seemed to be genuine. They offered free membership and so I joined. I gained about 6 referrals in a few weeks. I reached payout and was paid. But that was the first and last payment I received from utilbux. From what I've heard, there seems to be a problem between the site developers and this has resulted in the negligence of payouts for it's members. The forum activity shows that the members who have recently reached payout have not yet been paid. All I can do as a member is wait for them to resolve the issue and carry on with their payments. My advice to any new member would be to join this site as a free member and to not make any personal payments for upgrades. |

This sites a scam  Ive been a member of multiple pay to click sites in the past, and I'm always open to trying new ones so I decided to give this a try and I made the minimum payout of 2 dollars, and never got paid. This site is a waste of time and effort and it is indeed a scam. I know of a few trustworthy pay to click sites and I'm going to say neobux is the best one. So bottom line, this site is a waste of time, it takes a very long time to get to the minimum payout without referrals, and even when you get there they don't pay you anyways. SCAM !

Good At First ... Then Stopped Working UtilBux was the first PTC site I ever joined. I joined it to make a quick couple of dollars to spend on ebay, but did not know how the site really worked. I finally earned enough to cashout, extremely exited that I barely did anything (I had a few referrals that did most of the work), and I received my money. Content, I decided to start really working to get referrals and view ads myself. I saved up on my account until I had exactly $31.50 (For a game I wanted to buy on ebay), and when I finally had it after a couple of weeks I cashed-out. I waited and waited, wondering why it took longer to receive than the first one. It has been a while now and I have still not received the payment. It was a huge blow to me since I was very excited and new to these sites. I contacted them many times, didn't receive anything back. If anyone is thinking of trying this, I don't think you should, because you will not receive anything. I wasted a few weeks making money, and it was a total waste.

Scam Written All Over It UtilBux is a GPT (Get Paid To) site and has been running for quite a while now. Now most GPT sites pay at the beginning then stop paying later, and UtilBux is no different. I was an early member of UtilBux and I tell you, it was great, I even earned about $187.69 (in a couple of months, which is really good for a GPT site), but recently, they haven't been paying, the cause: UtilBux turned into a scam, as easy as 123. I wish they didn't though, because if they didn't, this site would of been one of the best GPT sites out there. So in conclusion, if you ask me, then I recommend you find some other GPT site (just like I am). NOTE: Please be careful as most GPT sites are scams, or sometimes they bring harmful viruses, so please be careful. |

Waste of time I think most of the PTC sites are pointless and this is nothing different. This is just too much work to get a few bucks. If you get referrals then your chances of getting money INCREASE A LOT. Without referrals these site are not worth the effort. After hard work I actually got 5 dollars BUT THEY NEVER PAID. So don't join this site. it's A SCAM.

A waste of time I'm very skeptical of sites like this, but a couple of people I know had actually been paid by them, so I joined. However, after I reached minimum payout, I couldn't get paid. There was no answer in response to my request. Therefore, I feel like I just wasted a lot of valuable time on another company that's just out to scam everyone. There's nothing legitimate about this company if they don't pay as promised. All you're doing is making money for someone who's going to take it, and you'll never hear from them again. I would definitely recommend that everyone beware!

Scam. Never got paid I've been a member of this PTC site for about a month now and thanks to my referrals I've been able to reach payout in just a month. I have 14 referrals and I breezed through the $2 required amount before cash out. When I requested for payout they said they cannot pay at that moment. After weeks of waiting the same message still appears. I tried to contact customer service but it seems that customer service is just fiction. I had doubts before if they were going to pay me since I've heard that the owner of Utilbux used to own another PTC site that scammed members. Please stay away from this PTC site. It's a scam. |

Don't be fooled by the cover UtilBux seemed like a good legitimate site when I signed up. I examined it's sustainability and it proved to be a manageable and profitable site. Every day I would show up and click my links so that I would be able to cash out as soon as possible. My friends still don’t believe in getting paid to do something online so I had to be self reliant. The first time I reached cash out I was promptly paid according to their cash out rules. Knowing this I started to recommend my friends to join and built up a referral system. Reaching my second cash out was much quicker thanks to my referrals. When I went to request payment UtilBux wouldn’t allow me to log in. I contacted the administrator, but never got an answer as to what had happened. I do not trust this site and would not recommend anyone to use it.

Now I am scared I joined utilbux not too long ago and everything has been going great. It is just like the countless other PTC sites out there where you click the link then have to click the little red button to see the 30 second ad. I don't like how they make you sign in and type a security code each time you visit the site. Their referral banners are quite unattractive plus it is difficult getting others to sign up for the site. Now I am reading all the negative comments that others have left here and I am very concerned. Plus I just came from the forum where there are nothing but scam alerts where the payment proofs are supposed to be. I am going to have to cut my losses and end my account with them. |

Useless for the standard clicker I joined this site as a clicker who wanted to earn some cash for my paypal account some months ago. As many PTC's at first there were a considerable number of ads but days passed and the number of ads were decreasing. I had clicked there for nearly two months, I was unable to reach the minimum cashout. It's true that I didn't have any referrals, but I think that 60 days is time enough to reach the cashout in any good PTC site. In conclusion I believe that it is not useful for people who only want to see the ads and earn money, but it could be interesting for advertisers or people able to get a good number of referrals.

Not My Cup of Tea PTCs do not last long and it is only the early birds that get the benefit from the PTC business. UtilBux is no different from other Bux PTCs. It promised to pay it's members at the early stages and showed good signs of continuing for a longer time. I joined UtilBux three months ago and after working hard for my payout, earning a cent per click, when I finally tried to request for my payout, all I got was disappointment. Payouts have been stopped. Luckily, I did not invest any money into the site. It may be good for advertising as it offers low advertising rates, but it is certainly not my cup of tea anymore. |

Legit enough for me! I worked with this site as an advertiser not a publisher. I ordered their package of 1000 'unique' views for 21 bucks. As I needed only visitors, no matter where they were from, for a pay per click program, I can say they did the job. I did not receive 1000 unique visits, just about 600 which was more then ok for me. In this way I recovered my initial investment and I got a lot of referrals. So it really helped my business. From my point of view it was a fair deal, so at least for this part of the program I really recommend this one. |

Payouts stopped I have been a member of this site for about 2 months and so far never got a single payment. When I tried to cash out I got an error saying that they can't pay me at this time. I have been in PTC business for while now and have seen a lot of websites like this one. They all start very good, but because of lack of management 90% of them go down within first year and turn into non-paying website. I do believe that's what happened with this site as well. Admin had his paypal account limited therefore couldn't make payments and until limitation is lifted nothing can be done. No payments = a lot of unhappy members and I am one of them. My advice is not to join this website at this time and look for more established paid to click websites that have been around for a while and have a proven track of payments. |

Was Paid Once But Never Again It WAS legit. Note the emphasis on the word WAS. It used to pay it's members, I was one of the fortunate ones to experience that, and for a while I thought it was going to last forever. But alas, some things are not meant to be. I knew it was associated with a proven scam site even before I joined, but I still gave it the benefit of the doubt. Very early this year, I tried to request for payout as I already reached the minimum required. It said "unable to send payment" or something to that effect. I tried again a couple of days later, it still gave me the same message. I haven't tried since. It was, after all, just a couple of dollars and there were already complaints left and right about people like me also not being allowed to cash out. So yes, UtilBux is now a scam site and you would be wise to stay away from this one.

Be very wary when dealing with ptcs Ptc sites have always had a negative outlook because of the huge percentage of them scamming. With that being said Utilbux is paying for now and people should continue to have their eyes on this site if they want to use it. Like any new PTC, I don't invest money into it until it has been around for more than six months. Also I don't invest in a Ptc until I know I will make my money back within 3-4 days and I don't invest more than what I make from them. With that being said, only time will tell with Utilbux. From constant researching of the site, a lot of people feel adamantly that the current owner is/was the owner of Wavebux. I recommend everyone use caution with this site and do not invest for now. I haven't been paid yet because I've reinvested the money I've earned with the site in hopes of building up a big downline and upgrading in the future if it lasts. I will give it time to build credibility and I will create a blog for this site if it lasts long enough, continues to pay, and resolves issues with previous members. Again, use caution, don’t invest, and wait before calling it a scam. I am hopeful that the owner will possibly do right this time and do better in maintaining the site.

I used the site as an Advertiser  This is one PTC I used as an advertiser and not as a clicker. I was trying to promote a MLM business I joined and get more subscribers and I thought I could do this through a PTC site. I had a friend, member of UtilBux and he recommended the site, telling me that the prices were ok and the traffic was guaranteed. I went for the "I want fast traffic" package to get a higher rank on Google. I was not interested in geo targeting so this package was the right one. I paid for 1000 unique visits 21 bucks, and the hits were delivered very fast. My page rank went up so I decided to go for another package. It was quite an investment, but it was a very good one and I'm not sorry.

Don't trust this site ! I got scammed ! Don't believe this site, the first time I was paid 2$(the minimum payout), then I requested new payments, however, I wasn't paid, the same happened with a friend of mine. When you see them giving 10 and more ads that's a sign of scam. Actually I realized all of that after I read that paypal was charging the admin for some documents. Also noticed that the site is getting down very often, this way you'll be working hard to earn a few dollars and you never know if you'll ever receive them. I don't have any faith in it.

Legitimate PTC site Just like it sounds, Util Bux pays you less than a penny for every click, and they pay out just like it says. But the catch is it takes forever to reach the minimum payout. It took me like 2 months to make 2 dollars. I don't know about you, but my time is worth just a little more than a dollar a month. I know I could have worked harder at it, and got paid sooner, but is it really worth it anyway when there are a thousand other PTC's out there? My answer is no, it is not worth it to me. I say if you are that hard up for cash, go for it. If you are like me and value your time just a little bit more than that, than this is a total waste of your time. |

Be careful- THIS IS SCAM! I am a member here for about a month and site was good! Nice design, 4+ ads and good script... It was a fast growing site with more that 60000 members. But, recently they stopped paying! I reached a minimum payout but when you request a payment it says: "Sorry, we couldn't send your payment - try again later". And I tried so many times, and still the same answer! So, I stopped! And now there were just 2 ads today! On their forum you can read many posts about payment problems, and everything started when PayPal closed their account (Admin says that) and you can view the advertisement where is posted a forum thread which says: "Dear Utilbux members, please don`t open more disputes at PayPal because they will not give my account back until I don`t have all disputes closed and I already lose a lots of disputes... " Also, AlertPay payments are not possible! So, for me this is a "closed book" and another SCAM PTC on a huge list. And I will rate it F, because they were too short in business! |

UtilBux-Pretty Trustworthy I have joined this site recently, and while seeing Bux in it I feared for the worst. I was lucky that this site actually pays, it's adds are reasonable, and upgrade fee is not that bad. Although the amount you get paid for one add is not much, if you can get some good referrals, and together you and your referrals click, you will notice you get quite a bit of $$$'s. This site has some good proof, including me, I got a cash out of 4$. It took a little while to come, but eventually when they transferred it, I had the full amount in Paypal. I would advise however not to buy upgrades so soon, in case they shut down or start a downfall like a lot of other PTC sites do. This site for the moment is trustworthy, reliable and is not like a lot of other Bux sites. |

Another site which time will tell if it is good or not As I do many PTC sites, Utilbux is another site which I have heard some good reviews on. I joined as a free member and gained a few downlines from my free traffic exchange sites. So far, I haven't reached the minimum pay-out yet as I've joined for only a couple of days, but they certainly look good with an active forum and a couple of payment proofs to show for it. For beginners, this site is worth checking out. But I don't advise any type of investment until the site is at least 6 months old. For the gamblers, it is certainly your choice, but the 15 level downline is certainly idea to quickly start your campaign. Hope this helps. |
