I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.


I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.

please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add
  1. Pointsmaker - pointsmaker.com - Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick same day most often via echeck once item is checked in
  2. MYS Buying Group - mysbuyinggroup.com Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick once item is checked in echeck
    MYS has the most complaints of all, from very late payment to not receiving items. Many people have given up on MYS.
  3. USA Buying Group - usabuying.group same as others regarding loading the tracking number. slowest payment of all. alerts come via whatsapp and email and response time is medium to issues
  4. YRCW - app.yrcwtech.com same as others alertss comes via whatsapp - payments can be slow. response time to issues are pretty quick via communication thru wahtsapp to owner
  5. Buy For Me Retail - The best. buyformeretail.com deals are posted on page. offers sent thru email. payment sent ach when they are checked i
  6. EMB - embdeals.com same as above - a great one as well. alerts via whatsapp. payments can be requested same day and will arrive same day. lots of offers last amazon prime.
  7. EMB - From late 2021 through August 2022, Several reports of missing packages, more complaints than most of the other groups. Buyers Beware.
  8. TheDealBuyer - thedealbuyer.com - Seems to be very new to the game. Not using whatsapp, but Pushover to send deals.

Sounds right, I'd avoid this club altogether, along with BFP, as they both have ridiculously slow payout times.

I stopped buying from as late 2023, it took them 6 months to payout. I am surprised, as back in May, they were saying they are implementing a payout within ("no later than") 20 business days so aka a month., I knew that was BS

Anyone know approximately how long Pointsmaker takes from experience nowadays to pay? Now its going over 2 weeks, thought would be quick. My first experience ordering something for them.

Pointsmaker is usually pretty quick. This time around I'm going on 2 weeks. Not ready to panic, but something to keep an eye on.
Still faster than some of these others. Sheesh.

For those of ya'll who run multiple amazon accounts, do you run a business account and personal account? Looks like you can link Prime from personal to the business account (Prime Duo?)". Anyone have experiences with this approach?

I am also waiting for some payments from MYS , only about 1.5 months behind but I wanted to check in, this is their response below.... it does seem suspicious with the timing but I hope everyone is OK and they get their act together.

Dear Valued Member, I hope this message finds you well. We wanted to reach out to you regarding a recent challenge that has impacted our business operations. Our CEO experienced a medical emergency while traveling and has been receiving care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Istanbul, Turkey, for the past twelve days. While this unexpected situation has presented some difficulties, we remain hopeful and focused on making things right. A plan is being put into place to get buyers paid. MYS has proudly served our community for nearly a decade, building a reputation as an ethical and trustworthy business. Although the temporary absence of our CEO has created some operational challenges, we are working diligently to overcome these obstacles and continue to provide the service you have come to expect from us. One of the issues we're currently addressing is limited access to some of our bank accounts. Rest assured, we are actively collaborating with our banking partners to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We ask for your patience as we navigate this situation and are confident that, with your understanding, we will emerge from this stronger than ever. We truly appreciate your ongoing support and trust in MYS during this time. We will keep you updated with any new developments and are committed to restoring normal operations soon. Thank you for being a valued member of the MYS family. Warm regards, MYS Buying Group

Not trying to be a snark but..........
What would a medical condition by any individual, especially the CEO of an organization, have to do with paying the company bills? CEOs don't write the checks and pay the day to day bills. Now if it was the comptroller or CFO of small company, I might be able to see some delay although there should always be a backup to someone controlling the purse strings but.......
Unless the CEO ran off with the company funds to Turkey

Hope it all works out in the end.
