I was browsing through a few forum posts today and came upon a topic that seemed like a good topic to highlight today. Lately, there has been a delay in receiving money from shopping boosters. The delay has been lasting longer then a month, for some boosters it has been taking more then 2 months to receive. By all means this is not something I expected when using the shopping boosters on Moola. But the delays are justified.
Moola was paying people before they were paid by the shops just so that members did not have to wait to long, but they no longer do so. As Grant explained in a post on the forums
[Moola was] paying people in advance before and that just burned [them]. There were too many people making large purchases, getting the cashback from us, and then taking the items back or using a fraudulent credit card and not paying the store.
So now because there were so many people abusing Moola's efforts to pay people faster, users have to wait till after Moola gets paid. Most shops will not pay their referrer until after their return period (usually 30 days, but it varies depending on the shop).
So if you think about it. The 30 day wait will be the least you would have to wait to receive your boosters. Then depending on when the shops pay their referrers you may have to wait an additional 30-60 days (since some shops may only pay at the end of the month or end of the quarter).
My suggestion to you is to just be patient. I have done quite a few boosters, and I have received the money I was promised. It is a discount/free money anyways and if anything you can treat it as a rebate (which usually takes a long time to receive too). I know it may be difficult to see the little box saying that you have boosters pending every time you login, but you should do what I do... Ignore it. Then when you finally do get paid, the payment will be a nice surprise and maybe it could even make your day or give you the option to cash out right away.
It is actually a very simple concept. When you use Moola.com's link to visit a retailers site, the retailer will credit Moola for referring you to them. Moola will then get a referral bonus for your purchase or for you completing an offer. Depending on the booster that you decide to do, Moola.com will be paid either a percentage of your purchase or a flat fee. In return for you using Moola's link, Moola will take a part of their referral bonus and pass it on to you as a booster.
