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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

From the very beginning, GetPounds was doomed to failure. Offering to pay £1 per hour while viewing adverts online was brave at best, and suicidal at worst. Many pay-to-surf programs have come and gone and in the current climate, many more will fail soon. Internet advertising is just not living up to expectations with ...  Read the complete review

Well, it seems that many companies are struggling to provide a pay-to-surf programme and GetPounds is no different. They were initially offering a staggering £1 per hour to their members. This would put many of the other similar schemes available on the net to shame. Many people have questioned the success of this scheme - would be ...  Read the complete review

How interesting, this would of proven the best 'paid to view adverts' program on the net if it ever launched - users would earn £1 per hour using the getpounds software the 'adticker' subject to viewing 100 adverts in that time. It seems now that the only reason the company were offering £1 an hour was to get many signups ...  Read the complete review

--------------------------------------------- *UPDATE* Getpounds have put the date forward even further. They have put on the front of their site that it will be up and running from the 31st March. This is getting a bit ridiculous now. It has been an extra month on top so far. Lets just hope they do not change it again! I am ...  Read the complete review

You have to be careful about what you read and what you believe. Many things out there on the internet offer loads of money/per hour, but rarely will this happen. To get the fabled £1 an hour you will have to see plenty of ads, which won't happen; so there will only be potential earnings of £1 an hour. Plus it can be quite hard to actually get the ...  Read the complete review

UPDATED 15 MARCH The www.Getpounds.com website is currently displaying the following message… ”The site will be shut down between 16th Feb 2001 12:00 AM GMT and 16th March 2001 12 AM GMT. We are upgrading the server and the Adticker version. It will not be possible to register during this period. We will email existing ...  Read the complete review

I registered with get pounds.com recently after also registering with a couple of others. And i am sorry to say it was a total disaster. After following all the instructions very carefully as i didn't want anything to go wrong. I downloaded the Ad ticker and waited after 16 minutes. Did exactly what it said only to be left with no Adticker and ...  Read the complete review

GetPounds.com was a nice idea, really nice. Nice enough to warrant me quitting my job I think. But sadly that's all it is: an idea. Can you seriously ever see anyone paying that much? Come on people, most programs struggle to pay 30p per hour, not £1! It's never going to happen. Despite my cynicism I signed up anyway. My ...  Read the complete review

£1 an hour to be actively online? I'll have some of that I thought. A few months later and I'm still waiting for the adverts to appear. Ominously the small print says that its not £1 an hour but rather £1 for every 120 adverts that screen across. Am I alone in having a feeling that when the service finally arrives that I'll be seeing a ...  Read the complete review

Updates from 3rd Jan/3rd Feb & 25th March at end of original opinion. It looks like Getpounds are trying to compete with Uniquesurf for the record for being in Beta testing. Not only that, they only seem to stream test type ads not real ones like most pay-to-surf's in Beta. I joined Getpounds a few months ago ...  Read the complete review

I signed up to GetPounds months ago, we are still waiting for them to go live. It's important to say that they are promising UP TO £1 an hour. In reality this could mean an average of 10p an hour. When other pay as you surf companies in the UK seem to be struggling, I can't see it being anywhere near £1 an hour. I would ...  Read the complete review

I used to be into these pay to surf things, until I got the getpounds viewbar. I downloaded it and then when i tried to put my computer on, it would not load, and it took me 3 days to fix it, and it resulted in me reinstalling Window's, and I am still feeling the after affects. It had looked quite good to me, and bettre than any others= ...  Read the complete review

Getpounds attracted my attention because it was a UK based program paying in £ sterling. This is more important than you may think. If I earn money from a US program and receive a check payable in dollars, I will not simply receive the exchange rate but will pay £15 bank charges for a foreign check. This effectively makes $100 worth £50, and ...  Read the complete review

I signed up with this company expecting £1 an hour from surfing.It looked too good to be true, but there was no reason why I shouldn't sign up, it's free and I have nothing to lose! They ask you to download their ADTICKER and use it whilst you are surfing. When they start streaming adverts you will get paid £1 an hour (so they say). ...  Read the complete review

The bar sits there with nothing showing. Test advert it states. That is all it has been saying for months. I am beginning to believe that the advertising bandwagon has got off the ground quicker than the retail bandwagon. Sure, there are lots of great retail sites out there, but they do not appear to want to advertise. They ...  Read the complete review

Like many others, xmillion was attracted by the promise of a get paid to surf scheme offering £1 an hour for 25 hours a month and put his name down. Xmillion has these two points to make; 1) Any student of the American GPTS business will tell you that schemes are always being launched with extravagant promises of paying x cents ...  Read the complete review
