I sent my site in for approval on 11/11/06 and the site says approval time is around 5-7 days. Well it's been 8 days. I understand it's probably busy because of the PS3 and Wii. I'm wondering will I be approved and receive my paypal by Thursday? I'm supposed to get $425 paypal and I really want to buy a few things from the Best Buy Black Friday Ad.

Thanks in advance!

you probably wont get the money by thursday. Its only been 5 business days. You'll probably get approved by Wednesday and get your paypal by saturday(since its thanksgiving weekend, IDK if they'll send out) or tuesday after that.

actually it's 8 business days. Since you sent in for approval on 11/11 that's a saturday, you have to count from 11/13 and not include any weekends from there.

Not really. They approvate at like 1159pm the night before and call it the 7th business day. So technically, they are correct.

For 3604free.com, I submitted for approval on the 4th, a Saturday. I was approved on the 16th, not before midnight on the 15th. So I actually wasn't approved until on the NINTH business day.

Hello

I submitted for approval on the DVDRecorders site on the morning of the 8th and I was approved this morning (8th business day).

I had 10 referrals and requested the $400 sent through PayPal. If they're cool with that, I figure it will show up sometime this week.

I'll post pics when it arrives.

Alright sounds like I don't have a chance at getting approved today. Thanks a bunch though!

Yeah, I'm also a bit late on getting approved on yourfreeflatscreens, but not if it's by business days. Why do they procrastinate and do it all at the last minute?

Oh well.

How can you say they are late, but not if it's by business days???

They don't procrastinate - it's very clear on the progress page when someone submits their account for approval [b9bf413ecf8]5-7 business days[/b9bf413ecf8]. Either people don't read "business", don't know what a business day is, or they don't know how to calculate 5-7 business days from the time they submit their account.

Finally, they don't do it all at the last minute - they approve accounts in the order in which they are submitted. If you look through the threads, you will see TRAINN is pretty consistent when it comes to approving accounts. If they aren't, they are very good at letting everyone know.

I do think that they do some things last minute, and I don't know why. My example are a couple offers I've completed for them on a couple different of their sites. They didn't credit in the time they should've, so I put in the request for them to credit. They both credited on exactly the tenth day.

I'm certainly not complaining though, as this company is great and I don't mind waiting one bit. The only thing I don't like waiting for is the final product to be shipped, and right now I'm waiting for a $350 check and an 80gb iPod to do so.

Hmm well I'm on the 12th day and the 8th business day. I know they'll get to me, but I wish it was a little bit faster. -D

Heh, why do so many people complain about the wait time? I am totally cool with it. People don't realize how much users they have. If you have all noticed, they have server issues quite often, it is because of so many users coming to their sites. Also, they pay Wednesdays and Saturdays, not Tuesdays.

Its been 15 days and 10 business days since I sent for approval. Still nothing. \ liFalls asleep.li Twice as long as it should be. Maybe they should hire another person or get a friend to help out.
