Sorry to hear that - your rewards won't disappear, we just have been going a little faster than planned and need to build the redemption process. In the meantime, feel free to email me at [email protected] if you earn more than $10 and want to claim your rewards and we can do that via PayPal.
I'll add that to the site too. We're not cool with the bait and switch, so I'm glad you gave me that feedback
Danielle - everyone supposed to email you if they need "more than $10" from Referly to cash out?
Seriously, you are damn too smart of a businesswoman not to know that by not putting this disclaimer on, you will get much less signups. At its best, I take it as deceiving marketing strategy.
We are placing a bet we can get this feature built before 99% of people reach that point. We are proactively reaching out to users whose earning are nearing $10

You're betting other people's time on your business. And you even openly admit it. That's unexpected, and wrong.
Better to have a feature that became too popular before you could handle it than to have a finished feature no-one uses.
Thanks for the response. I think a disclaimer on the main page about claims during beta would have alleviated my disappointment.
Noted, will update. Thanks

Upvote for quick reaction.
But when I click on the claim rewards link: http://refer.ly/claim
It's telling me a different story (compared to on their main page - Earn rewards like whoa.)about getting the rewards.
"During the beta period we are not yet able to redeem your rewards, but we are saving them for you.
We'll let you know as soon as you can claim them."
I really felt like being Bait and Switch'ed.... Totally not whoa at this point.
