Very unhappy member I have been a top 10% contributor for several years but I have decided not to renew my membership. When I joined it was all about gaining points and awards. I accumulated over 4 million points and then the points disappeared and we got "coins". The top prices/rewards needing 80,000 coins were bought straight away although the top person on the leaderboard had at the time only a quarter of that, so I don't know what happened there. I live in the UK and most of the rewards are only applicable to to people living in the US. This is apart from E-books which I find quite basic and of no use to me. I have raised the question as to what is happening with the points on several; occasions, but only ever received a glib answer. I also won a contest several months ago, but I have never received the prize which was a canon lens. I have asked when I will receive my prize time and time again via email, but to-date still haven't received an answer. I received a message on viewbug messages from Ollie who apparently is a co-founder, this was when my membership had lapsed. I have returned his message asking the questions above, but of course never received a reply. This is a sad state of affairs as I liked the camaraderie of the site. But enough is enough.

I have been using Viewbug for a few years and love it! … I have been using Viewbug for a few years now and they are a great company that gives photographers both professional and hobbiests a chance to show off there talent in the photography world.

Total lack of action Having posted a review 2 weeks ago concerning being charged twice for annual membership, I was advised by the company to email them (again!!). This I did, and surprise surprise, STILL NO ANSWER???? They have just replied with the same reply as before!! I have already done this????!!

I love participating in the challenges and contests. I love meeting like minded photographers. I found everyone to be very nice....as well as the galleries of the photographers are so beautiful...I am inspired to be a member of Viewbug!
