Did you sign up for Abound? Abound welcomed 373 of my referrals, then scammed me out of nearly $260 in owed bonuses! Abound has been seemingly cashing in on us as we triggered our signup bonus by completing offers and referring others. Instead of paying us owed bonuses, they've been flagging accounts without reason and shutting down accounts. If this happened to you, I recommend leaving reviews of your experience on Apple App Store, Google Play Store, TrustPilot, etc., and perhaps filing a BBB complaint if they owe you money.
I was able to make one withdrawal request on 4/11 but they never processed it.
This app used to be Times Club and was dependable and quite popular in the early 2020s. Towards the end, there were multiple referral tracking and payout issues, along with poor customer service.
Fast forward to last month when Abound resurfaced in Referral World. Referrers like myself gave them a second chance, but the issues that plagued Times Club are still occurring. I received word that Abound started placing accounts on hold without explanation, which also happened to me. Despite my earning over $260 last month and withdrawing $30, Abound put a hold on my account with absolutely no justification, and while their support team has been prompt in responding to my email inquiries, the "support" has consisted of them telling me, "We’d like to inform you that your account is still under review by our Fraud and Compliance team due to some activity that requires further verification." They've also been copy/pasting canned responses stating it will take 3-4 weeks, even though it's already been 4 weeks. And yet in the past 4 weeks, they haven't reached out to me for any verification information whatsoever.
A total of 36 emails have gone back and forth with what appeared to be stall tactics on Abound's part.
And as of yesterday (5/9), they completely locked me out of my account.
If you've experienced a similar issue, please email me at [email protected]. And if you signed up through me, my apologies if they ran the same scam on you.
