Anyone having issues with PointsMaker recently? How long does it usually take them to check in items?

Are you not in one of the PM specific chat groups? Will probably find much quicker and relevant DPs there instead of here.

To answer your question though, they've been checking in items this week fine for me. Paid out as well.

  1. Pointsmaker - Best in the business. Takes fewer risks. Consistent with somepayment times
  2. MYS Buying Group - Pointsmaker & MYS use the same type of software. Next best. Comes up with slightly more deals than pointsmaker. Once they asked members to return an item. They compensated for the inconvenience.
  3. USA Buying Group - Offers the same deals as MYS. Terrible communications and hardly respond to messages. They also asked to return the same item as MYS. I don't think it went well with the members
  4. Simtec (Closed) -
  5. YRCW - Handles everything through WhatsApp. Personally, I found it inconvenient. Lesser deals.
  6. Buy For Me Retail - Very less number of deals. They offer a lesser amount than other groups for the same deal.
Stores:
Tax free state - If you live in a tax-free state, you will be able to participate in almost all deals. You will ship the products to your home and then ship it to buying groups. Usually buying groups provided shipping labels for qty of 5 or more.

Walmart - Always cancels the order to the buying group address
Best buy - All apple orders to the buying group address cancels. Most other products ships but off late, it has been hit or miss.
Amazon - The easiest. All orders ship.
Google Express - Once google shut google account of members (including Gmail) for shipping to buying groups.
Ebay - Many cases of a permanent ban. Once banned, you cannot create another one with same address.


I sell on four of those and no issues with Walmart, Bb, apple ,etc.

His group review is not what I experienced, almost the exact opposite.

Questions re. USA buying and FB group
 
Can anyone link to the FB group that keeps getting mentioned?

I see nowhere to contact USA for check request, they list an email that bounces, and a number that is missing a digit.

Jeez this is seemingly run by an orangutang.

How long does a package take to show up in the MYS portal?

ToastedSi Oct 16, 2020 2:34 pm

Once delivered, usually a day or two. I noticed that items delivered on Friday/Saturday may show up a bit later though, like on Monday or Tuesday.
