PayBud Reviews

by Cpnj29

This company does everything it can to not pay what you have earned. I’ve been waiting for 4 weeks for a gift card and just received an email that states they are not responding to any emails and not doing any payouts. If I can figure out who to file a complaint with I will be doing that too. :( By the way....if the workers have time to monitor the Facebook group to block people speaking their truths...they have time to press a button and send out the gift cards earned...

First excuse was that they were getting fraud accounts from a foreign country
Second excuse Covid 19
Third excuse we are restructuring
this app has not conducted itself like a business and they come up with new excuses to not pay people.
Over 120 days I have been waiting for payment and now they say they will not make payments while they restructure. I paid a membership fee and it looks like I will need to pursue getting my money by other means. It has been over 4 months already. They block everyone on social media from commenting and the only people who make positive comments on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all ambassadors. Beware!!!!!

I’d give it zero stars if I could. They bribe “ambassadors” to make their social media look like people are loving the platform. They have previously bribed users to write positive reviews... so I’d take what you see here with a grain of salt. I can provide screenshots! I paid for two months of premium membership, spent HOURS every day on PayBud , and I have nothing to show for it. Luckily I got my money back from PayPal- but there goes the $650 they owed me from redemptions that I’ll never get.

No point in playing and earning points because you can’t redeem. this app “corporate “ put redemptions on hold when in late March, but even before then redemption payouts were 60-90 days behind. PayBud DOES NOT pay out. Don’t play and waste your time on this game.

I was a premium member for 5 months and PayBud regularly paid out redemptions. this app holds free weekly contests but you’re better off playing the lottery.

Only use PayBud if you have plenty of time to spare and don’t mind the fact that they won’t pay you. It’s been almost 5 months and still haven’t received gift cards even though I paid the 30 dollar monthly fee. It’s one excuse after another as to why they aren’t paying. A quick google search of the owner of PayBud will show you lawsuits filed that seem to show prior history of defrauding people. This review doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the things wrong with PayBud and the people who run it. Stay far away from this nightmare!

Horrible app, horrible company, and horrible staff. this app used to be great, but they ran out of money quickly. No one’s been paid since January. They come up with excuse after excuse as to why they can’t pay people. If you complain, you get suspended/banned. Most of the 5 star reviews highlighted are from their facebook group moderators! If you post a negative comment about this app anywhere, they’ll ban you for speaking out. The employees share users’ private information as payback for complaining about not being paid. Totally disgusting and despicable app.

PayBud gets paid by their running ads on their site but they don’t pay everyone. They pay a few select people their hush money and that’s it. I have been waiting for my redemption from January.
People are not downloading PayBud to lay the games. They are downloading to earn “beermoney”. Well that beer money is not coming. Don’t bother posting on their Facebook page because they will just block you. They don’t respond to support emails either.
Waste of your time

This is one of the worst rewards apps I’ve ever used. First, while it is free to sign up, you have to pay a monthly fee in order to access any kind of decent payout. Why would anyone pay for a reward app? That seems to negate logic.

Second, you can actually lose points playing these games! It took me about 5 days earn 100 points. I lost them all with one spin on the spin to win wheel. And this isn’t a game where you bet or anything like that. I’ve never used a rewards app where you can lose points like that!

Third, the “check-in” feature doesn’t work. There are no locations available and when I try to add any I get error messages.

Save your time as well as yourself from frustration and skip PayBud. There are many, many, many other rewards apps out there that are doing it right. this app is by far the worst.

I started playing on PayBud in January, and since then I have brought a few family members in on playing as well. This is the first app I have used for earning extra money. I love it. I actually just got a payout this morning! $50 towards our Disney trip! Thank you this app!!!!

I’ve been reading the reviews and waiting to make my own opinion. Most of the negative reviews are all similar. While the positive 4-5 star reviews are raving about different aspects. If you download PayBud to support you, sure a one star review is coming. After playing the games and checking out the different features this app does offer a lot. The money payout aspect of PayBud should always be a bonus, and a great bonus at that.
PayBud is free, if you’re addicted to PayBud there are ways to enjoy it more often through paid memberships. But I have yet to need to pay to do anything on PayBud , and I’ve had it over a year now.

Tldr- not a scam. If you’re counting on PayBud to support you, please apply for a job. If you like games that add up points for real life “bonuses” PayBud might be perfect for you, as long as you aren’t trying to live off app money.
5/5 this app is exactly as advertised. You aren’t applying for this app you’re signing up to earn rewards.

this app is a wonderful app that gets addictive fast. With easy, fun to play games, you can build up points quickly and cash them out for everything from gift cards for birthday presents, household items, or just to buy yourself a treat to PayPal cash or the this app debit card that can be used anywhere, including online purchases.

this app has wonderful customer service and a great team of people to help make it all run smoothly with good communication to make any problems that arise more understood.

this app is definitely the best app out there. I make more off of PayBud than any other app I use. I suggest you upgrade to the Platinum level as you get more games, bigger rewards which means a quicker cash out. this app offers great gift cards to redeem for and you may also redeem for PayPal. Love PayBud!!!

by Angnguss

I love PayBud! Even though it has been rough the last couple weeks , I’ve still earned over $60 in rewards for gift cards ! Can’t complain about that. They are very responsive and quick to let you know everything that’s going on in PayBud

by Kcoffman7350

I have been using PayBud for about three months, first for free then updated to the gold tier. I have made about $135 in gift cards. They do take 30-45 days to pay and sometimes you have to email but all in all it’s been well worth the investment.

by Abp917

This is one of the only apps that I’ve ever used that does what it says. You play games every hour and earn points to redeem FREE gift cards! Who doesn’t love free? It takes less than 2 minutes an hour to play and it’s fun. Definitely recommend PayBud! Don’t hesitate to start playing and earning now.

by Mrsstompor

Awesome rewards app. I was skeptical at first. But I received 2 of my rewards and won a contest for a $25 gift card. They are a little behind on payment but I still got my PayPal. And if you pay for the upgrade you will make your money back and way more. PayBud has helped me so much!!!!
Also need to mention that they hired ambassadors to help out with any issues and they are all super awesome and helpful !

by Britches69

I am so thrilled at all of the earning opportunities that are available with the latest this app update! this app has partnered with a variety of companies that makes earning this app points basically limitless!

Offers, the Hideout TV partnership, hourly games, promo codes, this app Arcade and the list goes on! You’ve got to check it out.

I love this app and am excited to explore all the earning opportunities!

by Lindy H.

this app is the best earning site/app I have ever done! It is also the easiest. All you do is play simple games for cash and gift cards. You can earn even more with the fun contests that they do on their social media accounts. I have actually won 2 contests so far, and I’ve only been a member for a couple months now. I have earned hundreds of dollars for my family with this app. In my opinion there is no better earning app out there.

by Lina Castillo Esteban

3 days in with a platinum account ($30 but totally worth it) and I just bought my first $25 gift card in the shop. Set an alarm to remind you to play each hour and you’ll be raking in gift cards in no time. Green account is good if you want to be casual and not spend any money, but platinum is really where it’s at for earning points.
