I'm just a newbie in terms of the nitty gritty of earning online. I have just started to sign up on one of those ptc sites, that is neobux. I searched through the web about some feedbacks and comments about this site and most are good so I said to myself, "Hey, why don't I give this a try? " I want to play safe so what better way to do it than trying on a credible site.
From the site, I learned that there are two processors of payment, namely, alertpay and paypal. I chose the latter because I heard that it's already available here in the Philippines specially the withdrawal feature. I don't know if alertpay is already available here though. Then I opened a personal account. I learned that there is no fee on receiving money directly from paypal funds as compared to premier/business accounts, in which case, the applicable fee exists on the latter. The status was still then unverified.
In order for me to withdraw money to a bank account here in the Philippines, I must get it verified and add my bank account into it. I did not have any credit or debit card. I once applied for credit card on some banks in our province, I think there were two or three banks, but to no avail. All my applications were rejected. I even reapplied couple more times but still nothing happened. The credit card agent who submitted my application forms said that it was because of technical reason or some sort, like no one at home was there to pick up the phone when the bank representative called in. I don't know. Maybe. So I gave up. This happened two years ago. Because of this incident, I crossed out credit card as an option to get verified.
So I looked for answers on how to go about it. Thank God for the internet, I found the solution online. Through forums and some blogs, I found out that having a Unionbank EON card is a very suitable solution. This card works both as ATM and debit card. Because it has a Visa logo, it can be used worldwide for purchase payments online and offline. There you go. I said to myself, "That's the answer." So the next day, I went to a Unionbank branch in the city and applied for an EON card. I tried to apply online but the signup page did not work. I was told that it could take 5-7 business days to get the card or even longer than that. The bank clerk told me that some received their cards after one month. He set my expectations that it could take that long because the link on the website for online registration is down. Yes, indeed. He was right. After a week, I called up the bank to follow-up my card and as expected, it was still processed. The next five weeks, I would call every other day just to check the status of my card. Still, it was processed. I was told that it could possibly be that my card was included in a batch of huge volume of cards. I got frustrated and tired of calling the bank. I said, "What the heck? I might just give it up."
Then a week after, I tried to call the bank again. Surprisingly, the lady on the phone told me that my card has arrived and ready for pick-up. Woohoo!!! The following day, I went to the bank to get my card. I paid P550, P350 for the annual fee and P200 for the Paypal verification fee, which is US$1.95. I went straight home. I was so excited to get my paypal verified. First, I enrolled my Unionbank eon card for online banking. After 3 banking days, I got an email from Unionbank telling me that my Unionbank cyber acount is already active and that I can start online banking right away. So I tried to log-in in their website and Voila! I got in.
Next thing I did, I went to paypal's website to try if I could link my Unionbank debit card this time. I put the card number then all other necessary info. Then it was stated that I had to wait 2-3 banking days for the 4-digit code to appear in my card statement.
Funny, but I tried to log-in again on my Unionbank cyber acount and there it was, the 4-digit code. It took only few seconds to appear on my statement. Wow!! I did not have to wait 2-3 banking days. Then I went to my paypal account again and type in the 4-digit number and lo! and behold! I got verified. It only take seconds not days for me to finally get verified. Since my eon card also is an ATM card, so I added it as my bank account.
