Not heard of them before, so obviously that makes me cautious anyway but am I the only one here to be thinking 'don't touch with a bargepole, sounds dodgy' etc? I am cringing at hearing people putting in up to a grand and not getting it back for days.

Now they seem to have moved on to a different offer to entice more people.

Hope I am wrong but I am saying thanks but no thanks.
I can guarantee you are, have already had and withdrawn my deposit and the bonus. Not hearing of them shouldn’t be a basis for determining an offer’s validity either, but the majority of people thinking as you do makes these sort of things possible as otherwise everyone would be doing it.

I have to agree, they would definitely seem to be welching on the previous one, being fair we got the money back out, but it costs £3 a time to make a withdrawal as i guess its a foreign bank, Me and the ones i referred have all resigned that no bonus will be forthcoming, think they got a scare with the amount of people taking up the offer and keep shifting the goal posts until it all expires, i dunno how shares work, but, expect they will have some kind of catch to avoid paying anything out.

I realise that not recognising a name is not necessarily a reason in itself for rejecting something, after all I had never heard of half of the bookies on here before being introduced to MBing, I was merely giving it as just one of the reasons it made me more cautious.
I know that big 'names' can also sting you.

I know this example will sound OTT but if a stranger said 'I need an interest free £1000 loan for a few days/couple of weeks, and in return I'll give you £70 (as long as you meet all the requirements), oh you'll also need to pay a withdrawal fee' - what would your initial reaction be?

I really hope that you and your friends get the promised bonus @mabozza . You help a lot on this forum, so fingers crossed it works out for you.

Me, I am just too cynical these days

Your example is spot on, but to be fair if its posted here by people for whom it worked before Fineco decided to put a stop to it am happy to try it,no one knew at the start that they would can it, the goalposts changed unfortunately before i or my referrals could get good from it, only 8 days left for it to appear (When it was meant to be in 7 weeks ago, so, breath not being held)

For what it's worth, my transfer of the money back out (to Nationwide) was pretty quick for what is considered an international payment... Although it does take me back to the days before Faster Payments spoilt us. (In fact now, if a FP transfer isn't instant I start to get in a huff!)

Yeah, I tend to trust people on this site more, especially the regulars, and like you say, it has worked for most people. Good luck :)

Ha ha, I can remember waiting 7 (working) days for my photos to be printed and returned in the post - and seeing how many of the 24 taken were actually any good, usually about 5 or 6.

Oh jeez aye... i been there too LOL.... now i shoot thousands and dump on puter ..better days LOL... Yeah on this page you are 99% certain that any money earning opportunities are good... the tripe gets found out very quick and removed... I note some of the users here have faster transaction times, wondering maybe if its because i use a Scottish bank

It's a shame so many of you have had problems! Everyone who I done in person had no issues :/

Like you say I think they underestimated how much people love 'free money' fingers crossed you and everyone else gets their bonus on the amended date of 19/06/2018

Anyone who joined under the last £70 or 100 trades offer had their "Friendship rewards" page, appear within
the Client Area? I suppose technically they've got until midnight...

This is a right farce, half tempted to nuke this thread as I don’t want others to go down the same path

Yeah I think they are dragging their heels now as previously through several other referral periods I've had no problems receiving the bonus nor has the joiner. It's a shame :(
