    Default Payoneer vs Alertpay

    Which do you use and why? Currently I use alertpay because it seems like payoneer has little fees hiding everywhere!

    How are you getting your money with alertpay? I used to use them but their bank transfer thiung is broken now isn't it? If I'm going to wait for a check anyway why not get paid directly from the site?

    I just started so after this payment period I'll be getting money for the first time. Now that I've heard alertpay is having issues I'm thinking about just being paid directly. What is the purpose of using payoneer etc. instead of being paid directly anyhow?

    EDIT: Answered my own question by looking a little closer. For instance, MFC's minimum payout for bank transfer is $1000

    Alright new question then, what's the difference between a wire transfer and direct deposit? Because DD's minimum payout is $20 and it's apparently free. In which case I am now double confused as to why you'd use payoneer/alertpay in the first place.

    i am using payoneer just because i already had it..but there are alot of fees
    5 dollars to load every amount
    plus they take like a dollar or something on every time you spend from the card

    I have a new payoneer card and this is what i've just had to sehll out to the robbing bastards:
    $12.95 "activation fee"
    $3 recurring monthly "maintenance" fee
    $1.25 (ish) every time I've spent anything on the card
    $2 every time I've loaded it (wait 2 days for it to hit your card), or $5 to get it instantly

    I haven't even considered trying to get money out of an atm as the fees are just preposterous.

    Daylight robbery! But they know they can do it because there are so few options open to us and everyone else charges high fees so they can too, they're just sneakier about it.

    When did the bank transfer with Alertpay stop working?
    I didn't have any issues when I transfered money into my bank account with them 10 days ago or so (last pay period) so let's hope it's fixed

    payoneer is nearly instant, alertpay is not - you have to wait several days for it to transfer to your bank. if bank transfer is working. which lately it hasn't been.

    if a site offers direct deposit i usually take that instead, but some places don't (like streamate and imlive). cams and mfc do. but still - takes longer than payoneer, normally. direct deposit for daily pay is only available if you live in the uk - the other options are alertpay or payoneer.

    I'm with SM and just signed up for direct deposit to my bank account, so I hope I don't have any issues.

    Payoneer takes out a dollar every time you use it? Wow, that is reaaally shitty. Damn.

    I guess the best bet would be cashback at a store then. But isn't there ATM fee only $3.15? Well, that's not cheap, but still. I guess it would work to just take out all the money on an ATM.

    PS- Does anybody know the fees for the Payoneer load to Bank Account option through the camming sites? I'm through Payoneer on IML. . and I can't find the fee for that anywhere. I rather it just go all to my bank account for tax reasons.
