Cash Balance is shown for informational purposes only, and is not immediately payable.
XVI. Payable Balance
Cash Balance earned by the Member is not considered to be Payable Balance until GPT Site has received the full payment due from the business whose actions were completed.

Referred Members are known in the Service as Referred Friends. Members may earn commission through referring new Members to the Service based upon earnings and prizes received by those Referred Friends. The rate of earning shall be 10% commission per each cash earnings through Cash Offers, Paid Surveys, or Cash Back by a Referred Friend, 1 Coin commission per each Coin redemption by a Referred Friend, and 20 Star Points commission per first-time login by a Referred Friend. In the case that 10% commission for a particular action includes a partial cent, the Service may automatically round down or up to the nearest cent. Members may participate in the Refer a Friend Program by referring new Members to the Service through the Referrer’s unique Refer a Friend link. Visitors who click through this link will be recorded as referred by the Member whose link was used, and should a visitor register with the Service, that new Member will become a Referred Friend of the Referrer. Should a visitor visit through several Refer a Friend links and/or Affiliate links (which are those used by Affiliates in the GPT Site Affiliate Program Service), the most recent link used will be the one recorded. Should a visitor’s Internet Protocol (IP) Address change after the record was made, that visitor will not be credited as a Referred Friend if he signs up, unless he clicks through a Refer-a-Friend link again after the IP Address change. Records are retained for a minimum of 30 days, so visitors who visit through a Refer-a-Friend link and sign up more than 30 days after the most recent click through a Refer-a-Friend link potentially may not be credited as a Referred Friend. The Referrer may lose any commissions earned should the Referred Friend be terminated from the Service for fraud or any other violation of the Terms and Conditions, and the Referred Friend will no longer be considered as linked to the Referrer, as the Referred Friend’s Account is terminated. The Referrer will not lose any commissions earned should the Referred Friend willfully cancel himself from the Service, however the Referred Friend will no longer be considered as linked to the Referrer, as the Referred Friend’s Account is cancelled. Payment of commissions earned by Referrers will be made under the normal pay schedule, which is by the 30th day of the month following the month in which the commissions were earned. Payment of commissions requires that the Referrer is eligible for payment of earnings. GPT Site reserves the right to disallow individual Members from participation in the Refer-a-Friend Program should they abuse it or abuse any of the Terms and Conditions in an attempt to gain through it. GPT Site reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Refer-a-Friend program for any or all Members at any time.
XIX. Sign Up Bonus
To receive a Sign Up Bonus, a Member must be a bona fide new registrant to the Service, not have another Account, nor have had in any time past another Account. The Member must not have previously received a Sign Up Bonus from GPT Site. A maximum of one Sign Up Bonus per household is permitted. The Sign Up Bonus shall not be paid unless and until the Member’s Payable Balance, including the Sign Up Bonus, reaches the current minimum payment level. The Sign Up Bonus is currently worth $1.00, and its value and availability are subject to change at any time, for any or no reason, and with or without prior notice. The Sign Up Bonus program may be altered, suspended, cancelled, terminated or made unavailable for any or all Members at any time, for any or no reason, and with or without notice.
XX. Payment of Cash
GPT Site sends payments to members based upon their Payable Balance (as defined throughout this agreement), on or around the 30th day of each month, with considerations for weekends, holidays, business or Provider delays, and other unforeseen events. GPT Site rewards Members in good standing with payments once they reach specific balance levels in their Account. In order to receive a payment, the Member must have submitted complete and proper payment information, selected a payment method and reached the minimum payment amount in Payable Balance earned through the previous month. Until these requirements are met, the Affiliate is not eligible to receive payment for any earnings, including any Payable Balance he has accrued. Payable Balance requirements for payments may vary with each option, and are subject to change at any time.
Current requirements are as follows:
- $10.00 or above for a PayPal payment;
- $10.00 or above for a check payment;
PayPal payments will be sent via the mass pay service to the Member’s payment email address on file. Check payments will be sent via USPS or UPS to the Member’s postal address on file, and upon being sent may take up to 2 weeks, or more, to arrive at some locations, due to postal delays.
Members may choose to:
- Receive an automatic payment via a specific method upon reaching the minimum requirement;
- Retain their balance within their Accounts, by not completing personal details and a payment method selection, until a later time.
GPT Site will not be held liable for lost or missing payments due to incorrect information provided by a Member. GPT Site will not be held liable for delayed, mishandled, misplaced, confiscated, destroyed or lost payments as a result of action(s) by any Member or third party. Once a payment process has been initiated it cannot be reversed, and the balance cannot be returned to the Member’s Account.
