I just checked my account and my payouts are still processing. I wonder what is going on. I have been trying to get on the Netwinner forums all day. I keep getting an error page. This really sucks. I'm tired of them blowing smoke and telling us how great the site is and to be patient. But, no real explanation for the months long delays in paying out.
I read over on Comparerewards that people that filed complaints against Netwinner with the Better Business Bureau and Attorneys General are getting some of their payouts fulfilled. I guess the saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" holds true. So, people that didn't cash out until 2008 are getting payouts before the people that cashed out in November and December 2007.
ETA: Well, it is official. I just checked comparerewards.com and this is what they have reported:

NetWinner emailed members today to tell them they would not be paid for outstanding redemptions. Instead, members' cashouts would be cancelled and the points refunded to their accounts... but they would be doubled. From now on, points are only good for raffle entries.
Sometimes you hate to be right.
I'm sorry, y'all. I'm really, TRULY sorry.
In a message to partner sites, NetWinner's Wendy Warner today stated that only about 10% of you would be unhappy with this move. "Some will see it as I doa great opportunity for most of our players and then you have the 10% that are hard core that will not be happy at all."
Just 10%? Head count, anyone?

NetWinner "Refunds" Points in Lieu of Payments.
I haven't received the e-mail yet and my payouts still say they are processing. Netwinner is pathetic! And that explains why I haven't been able to get on their forums. Too many people are doing the same thing...trying to get answers.
The only consolation for me is that I didn't invest a whole lot of time on that site. I had only started playing in mid February and have slacked off in the last few weeks. And I haven't played at all since the first of the month when it was clear what was going on over there and that my time was being wasted. I feel really bad for the people that have been playing for a long time and have lost hundreds of dollars in payouts. I have lost $50.
