I really never believed I would say this …
If you have problems paying a Birthday Request, please drop a line to Admin and we will contact the person concerned and try to resolve the problem. As a matter of course, you will receive a reminder - either because you have never attempted to pay a donation or because we have not received a Confirmation email. You have 30 days in which to pay and, if there is still a problem at the end of the period, you will not be penalised if you have contacted us.
Sending the cash to me doesn’t help. If you can’t pay the Birthday Girl or Boy - why should I be able to ? What’s more, it costs me money to “pass” on the donation - so, if I receive any more, I will only pass on the net amount.
In order to reduce the problems, I have started a small system that looks at upcoming Birthdays one week in advance and emails the Birthday Girl or Boy to ask them to ensure that :
It is not essential to verify your identity but we strongly recommend that you do so. AlertPay is registered as a Canadian Financial Institution and needs to comply with Canadian “Know Your Client” legislation. Almost certainly, AlertPay would never “block” your transactions - but the Canadian Government might

Amy, we are all told when we sign up that we will have to send out Birthday Gifts to other people. It is right there in all the information, multiple times on the website. You have to send out up to 12 gifts each year and the gifts range from $2 - $5 depending on the other member’s status and level. (When I signed up I made up my mind to always keep at least $10 in my AlertPay account so that I could cover any Birthday Gifts that I need to pay.) So I don’t understand why you are getting upset with Admin for letting you know that you need to verify and confirm your AlertPay Account and make sure that you pay your gift in a timely fashion or be removed from the program. We all joined this program hoping to receive gifts on our birthday but that means that we all need to send the birthday gifts that are requested of us also. There is never “something for nothing” in this world.
God bless you!

Hi Admin,
“In order to reduce the problems, I have started a small system that looks at upcoming Birthdays one week in advance and emails the Birthday Girl or Boy to ask them to ensure that :”
“They have set up an AlertPay account and verified their email address
The Account Type is at least Personal Pro
It is NOT in Test Mode ”
“That’s a great idea! Newbies need more times to set everything up. Oh, No, Please don’t deal with PayPal. Years ago, I get paid from scammer to my PayPal Acc. on Monday, then on Tue. they asked for refund and PayPal let them do that without investicated. Boy, that”s hurt”.
God bless this club its members!

I can’t help myself; it’s just in my nature. Like a red rag to a bull. Amy, when God said brains I think you thought he said planes, and unfortunately you missed out. You see what you did is tick the terms and conditions box without reading them. I don’t even know you, and we both know you did that!
Also, based on what you wrote you only saw what was in it for you. Fortunately for you I have taken a few minutes out of my busy schedule, and as it happens I have a breath of experience in business, which I’m going to share just a little with you.
Business is based on supply and demand through negotiations and the like. The demand here is someone’s birthday. The supply is the other members making a payment into that persons Alert Pay account from their own Alert pay account.
Step one. Open an Alert pay account.
Step 2. Pay between $2 - $5 when asked to do say, and remember you will never pay more than $60 in any given 12 month period.
Step 3. Get paid when you birthday comes around.
During these 3 steps promote this gig. It’s a good one. The only way it can fail is if the members are dishonest. Plain and simple.
Just one last thing if you are going to take your services elsewhere maybe you should consider promoting a spell checker that way you would be able to use the product yourself, and when you have something to say it won’t be so obvious that you are just a greedy unintelligent individual who has no concept of making money.
There is nothing personal meant by my comments. After all this is business and good business is based on fact not emotions. By the way greed is an emotion! All the best Alexander

Hello,
Just wondering….how about people like myself who were born in January and it’s already passed? I’m assuming that I will need to wait 11 more months to see any money.
Let’s promote….

I have the same problem … born in january and discovered the site only days before my birthday. Luckely my wife’s birthday is in the middle of the year so now we are mainly promoting her bbc link.
All the best.

Hi, so far I have paid three donations per $ 5th my birthday is the 6th April. Tell me, do you in any way to check the authenticity of data on the date of birthday?
I, I heard some people that would be good to say the date is near, if your birthday is in December or January. This is very unfair and I think you should look for some proof of the date of our birthday.
Best regards!

Durda said …check the authenticity of data on the date of birthday?
BBC is intended to be about having FUN! So please think about this - how much fun do you WE would have if we had to view thousands of Birth Certificates - in dozens of languages - before anyone could join!
BBC is NOT about making a “quick buck” - it takes time to build a network and - if you read our Terms - no-one gets paid before they have at least three people in their network! If your Birthday is in April - you have time to build a network. The closer that you make your Birthday to today - the LESS likely you are to succeed

Today it is March 4 & someone’s birth date is March 10*
*Should that person JOIN NOW or wait a week before joining ?
Considering we have “All Types” in this world [ Internet Fraternity
included..........and a cute example above ], who is verifying the
veracity of Birth Dates ?

Well said, Alexander. I think a lot of people come into business ventures expecting something for nothing.
