Where to Deposit Clixsense Check in the Philippines without the need for US Dollar Bank Account?
  • UnionBank of the Philippines
  • Bank of the Philippine Islands - BPI
  • Security Bank of the Philipines
UnionBank is the best option in cashing your US Dollar check or related foreign currency check - FCC. Most government banking institutions will accept dollar deposit and even checks in US Dollar. BPI and Security Bank on the other hand will only accept check worth the minimum of $100 to allow you to convert it to cash or to become a Cash Receivable against the drawing bank. Unionbank also advised me to do the same, to withhold the check until I have $100, coz the check will only be consumed by excessive bank charges. In short if you have $10 check the bank gets all the money. The three have 21 days clearing period, so make sure to give the check under bank custody the moment you receive it. UnionBank accepts Clixsense Legends Bank so the check transaction is valid and consumable within the 21-day period. I will be back on February to confirm the successful transaction. The outcome will clear all my doubts regarding receiving future check payments since my first Clixsense payment only acts as a guinea pig to make way for future check transactions on PPC Publisher account earnings like Google Adsense Check, Adbrite Check, Infolinks Check etc. I have made this post possible for my fellow Filipinos who are in need of this vital information in cashing their US Dollar check into Philippine Peso by directly depositing it to affiliated Philippine Government Banks like Unionbank, BPI and Security Bank.

Banks that Accept Foreign Currency Checks  with related Foreign Currency Bank Account requirement

Banco de Oro - BDO with $200 maintaining balance
LandBank of the Philippines - $100 maintaining balance (reasonable)
MetroBank of the Philippines - $500 maintaining balance

I received confirmation regarding this issue by actual inquiries on the preceding banks. It's not the best option because you don't have regular check transactions and it will cost you excessive bank charges and fees, besides the amount is very material, instead of reinvesting them, you let this banks use your money in exchange for unreasonable interest rates that will only yield a small amount over a long period of time. Invest your $200 instead of making your money sleep and rot in this banks. 


LandBank is pretty reasonable if you have an online store or if you are selling online because you will need to maintain a merchant account in Paypal which will cost some fees every time you receive money, you can accept credit cards in US Dollar denomination with ease using Paypal. You can accept checks in US Dollar using your LandBank dollar account but you're least option, giving due consideration on possible receipt of bouncing checks or post-dated checks.

How will I receive the money on Clixsense?
After you have completed depositing the check to UnionBank, BPI or SecurityBank, (again UnionBank is the best option for they have the best support group) they will call their head office to confirm if they accept legal transactions with the drawee or the bank issuing the check, this time the Legends Bank. You will receive a call from their branch office regarding the confirmation and the 21-day clearning period will start regardless of the checks remaining valid days. My check was dated December 4, 2009 and I received it last January 8, 2010. I have deposited it UnionBank today January 11, 2010 and is only valid for 60 days from the date of the check or until February 4, 2010. Meaning its void once I have failed to deposit if after February 4, 2010. The start of the 21-day clearing period is today January 11, when UnionBank phoned me regarding the transaction.

All that's left is for you to wait until February to receive the credit if there's any. I hope I could get atleast P500 for all that trouble, lol. The check is worth $19.05, if theirs $12 bank charge I'll let you know for sure... lets wait...

Is clixsense a scam?


Of course not, I have verified it myself after receiving my first check today. My check payment was on queue last December 10, 2009 and I received it today January 8, 2010 while I'm busy working at my office. Clixsense pays! Unlike what people say it is a legitimate PTC. If you know the trick you'll never have a hard time earning money through this site.


Brief Overview
Clixsense only pays through check it doesn't accept payment processors like Paypal or Alertpay to prevent duplicate or fraudulent accounts. It is a very good quality control procedure in my humble opinion because it requires proper endorsement of check to be encashed. The check can only be encashed by the person indicated on the check itself or when he endorses it to someone else. The law says bank may require signature in both names before they'll accept it. If it's a simple flub on the name and you're an existing customer of the bank, it will probably be fine. Just endorse it according to the bank's instructions. If there's a major discrepancy between your name and the payee name, however, you would be well-advised to contact the check writer to have a replacement check issued with the correct name on it. FYI endorsing foreign currency check is not allowed in the Philippines, honestly, I tried, lol. So if you don't have any dollar account you can't endorse it to your mom you has an existing dollar account to convert your US Dollar check into Philippine Peso. 

How long does it take before you receive payment on Clixsense?
Clixsense check payment takes 4-6 weeks to arrive and is mailed to the postal address you have provided for them. Payments are automatically disbursed by check every 10th day of the month provided you have reached the minimum payout amount of $10 or the amount of your choice less of $3 check processing fee. Word of advice: Set it higher to $50-$100...

Make sure that you have typed your name correctly on the Payable to (payee name - your full name) before asking for payment and you have provided an accurate address or the check will be useless and you'll have to wait for another 4-6 weeks to get it right. Im not sure if Clixsense issue a penalty fee regarding this, just send support ticket if you have this problem.

How to earn in Clixsense
Once you are logged into your ClixSense.com account, click the "Browse Ads" link. On the "Browse Ads" page you will be shown a list of ads that are available for you to view, in addition to how much viewing that ad pays. When you click on a link for an ad a new window will open with a timer at the top of the page and the advertiser's page in the bottom frame. Once the timer counts down to zero (0), the amount stated for viewing the ad will be credited to your ClixSense.com account. Don't worry about frame breaking ads coz its still credited to your account, you can check it on your Click History Tab found on the My Account Menu.

It's very much advisable to upgrade, you'll only spend $10 annual premium fee to get access to all the ads available using Google Checkout. After you upgrade you will be provided with upto 500 ads to click that's $5 already on your first day, some people only receive 150 ads and that's because some ads have geographic filter. You'll only experience this if you are an international member.
