Full Review

Ref4Bux is a Mini-PTC site that recently launched and is currently paying. However it is under 6 months old and will be added to the Ongoing Investigations List for the time being. If you plan on using this site be sure to test it fully.Here re the pros and cons of this site:

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://ref4bux.com/forum.php
FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/ref4bux
Twitter: http://twitter.com/REFforBUX

2. Paying - They are paying and payment proofs can be found on the forum and throughout the web. Here are a few places where you can view these proofs:

3 . All Countries Accepted - So far there are no restrictions and all can join and earn from this site. Will update if this changes.

4. Low Minimum Cashout - This site minimum cashout is currently at $0.01. Which should be a easy target to reach and cashout with. 

5. SSL Secure  - Extra added layer of security to help secure your data.More Info

6. DDoS Protection - Site claims it is protected from DDoS attacks (more info). Which is a big threat to PTC sites. Such protection can be very expensive but these days it is needed to protect the site from possible threats and downtime.

CONS:

1. New Site - We do not recommend investing or buying upgrades on new sites. For at least 6 months, if not a year. If you can't wait that long, at least test and get paid first before you decide to invest.

The main reason why we see this as a downside is due to the large number of new sites that go through many sudden changes during their first 6 months. Changes anywhere from rates per click, payment processor issues (paypal limitations), and payment wait times. New sites notorious for changing their terms. Why we do not recommend investing on new sites. 

2 .Slow Earner -  While this site has "bux" in the name it does not pay "bux" earnings. More like Aurora with a direct referral limit. While we are calling it a Mini-PTC site. These type of sites pay a fraction of a cent. Although they tend to sustain a little better then their "Bux" site competitors. We personally don't have a problem with either one, as long as they pay.
