Full review/ Site History 

BuxMatrix is owned and ran by the Mark & James Network. These sites are a little different from your average every day PTC site.On BuxMatrix they have two groups of members. One group called the "Bux" group, you can stay a free member as long as you want and receive your first cash out when you reach $4. In the other group, the "Matrix" group is where you can upgrade. We are not going to go into details about the ugprades, that is something you investors need to find information about within the site itself. We have tested this site as a standard member and it does pay and you are not required to invest. Unlike the other sites within their network.

Site will be moved from the Legit List to the Elite List. It has been online and paying for over 2 years. Site did have a few issues, but nothing major and everything has been solved along with some improvements. If you do plan on using this site, learn how to use it before you invest into it.

Here are the Pros and Cons of BuxMatrix:
PROS:

1. Forum - This site does have a forum. Forums are great for communication between members and staff. Members can post payment proofs, get support, and stay up to date on changes made to the site. You can find their forum here:

http://markandjames.net/forum/index.php

(old forum)  https://bux-matrix.com/f/

2. Paying on time - Payment proofs can be found throughout the web. We were paid as well.


3. Verified by Gold Trust  Inc. - If you notice in your browser that the site's url will show up as "Encrypted" and verified by Gold Trust Inc. Very few PTC sites have this.

4. Unlimited Direct Referrals - There are no limits on how many referrals you can have. Great for promoters and those who can refer a lot of people.
5. All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. As long as you can use a AlertPay account. Will update if this changes.

6. Established - Site has been online and paying since Dec 2008. Over two years and counting. It has had a few issues, but these issues have been resolved. Which is why they now sit on our Elite List.

CONS:

1. Admins do not participate on forum- The admins on this forum don't answer support or questions. You will find that the top of the forum will say:

"This Forum is dedicated to our Members, ADMINS WILL NOT INTERFERE, Click Here to contact us. "

Although payments continue, and we have found hardly no evidence of complaints about this site, the forum is mostly ran by other members and mods.

With that said, the forum has improved from the last one and it is actually more active and mods are answering questions. If you are looking for a answer from the owner do not expect it. Use the support ticket system.

2. Up-line does not upgrade - Members who upgraded but their sponsor are not upgraded will not be able to access the matrix section. The referral will have to change their sponsor  (upline) just so that he/she will be able to access the matrix area. If you have this issue contact support:

3. A "Bux" Site - Despite this site being a hybrid, it does have some elements of a "bux" site. This type of ptc has a very high fail rate. Most "bux" sites go scam under 6 months, if not within a year. Most rely on upgrades and rental purchases rather than actual advertisers. A typical "bux" site will show fixed/self-sponsored ads, sell rentals, and have a higher rate per click. This type of business model is not very successful and  unsustainable, which is probably why most "bux" sites fail.
