Rapidgator Discussion thread

Yesterday it indicated my payment was processed, due after the regular delay on Paypal and when I looked earlier today, the payment was cancelled, the total amount is back in my Rapidgator page.
I don't know what caused the cancellation.
If it means waiting an extra week for RG to process it, then so be it. I can wait.
 
I don't think so, they removed PayPal payment as an option. I think this problem will stay a little longer than we are expect.

Long ago I had signed up for their credit card but the initial minimum amount required was $500USD. When selected, it's a Virtual Credit card and once again, $500 is required as the initial payout, then $100 payouts minimum after that.
I got rid of the credit card because RG pays in USD, I'm in Canada, and the credit card was paying out based on UK$. The total cost in transactions and foreign exchange was terrible. Once I realized it was running through UK currency, I withdrew as much as I could and cancelled the card.
It's a physical card they provide you which you can use in ATMs to withdraw cash, or online.
The other options are: Webmoney, Epese, Bitcoin.
So yes, they got rid of Paypal and we won't find out why.
RG charged their own fee for us to use Paypal and their payment provider charged another fee, so we lost out approximately 10% on total earnings. The credit card will be worse.
Going through Bitcoin means trying to find the means to cash out the digital coin. Good luck with that for most of the planet.
I have at the moment $120USD built up in RG - it will take me at least 4 more months to build up to $500USD. Then time on top of that to get the credit card, etc. Which means likely June I might finally get another payout.
I don't need the cash now. I'm in no hurry to get it. But the longer RG holds onto what they owe, the greater the odds something else will happen to prevent a payout. Who's to say that when I build up enough funds, that they won't remove the credit card option.
This is a great way for them to maximize holding cash in their own pockets.
I never was much of a fan of letting them hold onto more than $100, which is why I always requested payouts once that limit is passed. Now it's back to their credit card with bad fees and foreign exchange, which means anyone who uses the credit card will end up with less overall than ever.

I'm not joking when I say how much I was losing due to how the currencies on their credit card ran through several years ago. I was relieved when they opened up Paypal as an option. That's all down the toilet again.
 
^Crypto is going mainstream and you are telling me that there are little means of cashing out BTC when there are tons of exchanges to do it especially in Canada. You do realise that BTC existence is to get around the trust or censorship of a 3rd party like Paypal/CC gateway in sending/receiving payment right?

SALE are normal
 
Yes, I'm aware of the origins of bitcoin. but it was extremely convenient for me that RG adapted the Paypal payment method; I buy things from eBay, send cash to friends. Having the funds in Paypal was my optimal situation.
Earnings in the past year have dropped a lot for me, even though I'm still posting the same material, the same amount. A bad month I can earn $15. I used to consistently get at least $80.
I don't need this money. I'm aware a lot of affiliates do. If you live in India, $100USD is a huge amount of money.
RG dropped Paypal so now my option is back to that nasty credit card. Fees to withdraw cash out of the card in the ATM, foreign currency charges etc are why I originally stopped using that card. It's not going to be any better now.
I don't want to deal with Bitcoin. So virtual credit card again is my only option.
I never wanted to leave much credit in my RG account - if the site decides to "disappear" it takes everyone's cash with it. But if on an ongoing basis, I don't leave much in there, that's at least a bit of security for me.
RG can simply dissolve itself, keep all affiliate funds, rename itself and start over with affiliate funds kept in their pocket. Nothing can be done.
So it means having to once again accumulate $500 before they'll payout. I'm not happy about this.

I received this from RG

Dear Affiliate,

For the moment it is not possible to do paypal payouts because our
exchanger not able to do such exchanages. Your paypal payouts have
been refunded back to your balance. Please select other available
payout method like webmoney, bitcoin , epese or virtual card.

**
It's always possible they'll end up with another provider that can do the Paypal deposits - that's pretty much what I'm hoping for at this point.
