Pink is the new green at the Deal Barbie Pays network. This site is really a breath of fresh air in an otherwise gloomy shiftcode market. I want to hate on the website’s design, as it is definitely not as user-friendly as the other big names like TreasureTrooper and CashCrate, but overall it is fairly easy to get around. Payout-ratios are top-notch, service is excellent (owner is very friendly) and there are great contests and incentive rewards.

The Net Fool gives Deal Barbie Pays a 4.5-out-of-5 rating

As far as I am concerned, DealBarbiePays.com is the one of the best shiftcode website on the internet. They have proven to me that they are not a scam with great support service and frequent payments. With over $2,000 in offers available as well as a unique credit-based prize system, this site wants to pay you. There are many incentives like a $5.00 sign-up bonus, frequent promotional codes, contests and cash-back for completing offers. Deal Barbie is not afraid to offer lots of ways to earn money.

I want to have a look at the payout scheme, as shiftcode driven websites typically offer less than stellar opportunities. My eBay payout benchmark ($10 payment) proves that they are in the highest percentile of competitive offer-based GPT websites. They have an average amount of deals to complete, but also have a unique option I haven’t seen anywhere else… the ability to “request an offer” that you may have seen on another website! This is really smart, and bodes well for their business. The minimum cash out level is set to $20, which is somewhat low when you factor in the $5 head start. One of the networked websites, DealBarbiePaysFast.com, offers a withdrawal level of just $1! In all, the payment process is definitely above their benchmark… they accept PayPal, check and Amazon.com gift certificates.

As far as the design and ease-of-use goes, Deal Barbie is a bit average at first glance. When you spend, say, five minutes on the site… you definitely get the hang of where things are fairly fast. At first, however, things seem out of place a bit. There is really not much negative to say here, as I generally give shiftcode websites a “pass” due to the fact that the system is designed poorly in the first place. I wanted to touch on their contests though, as this is a bit abnormal when looking across other GPT websites. They run excellent incentives all the time such as “complete 10 offers, get $2.50 back” and “for every 5 offers completed, get one raffle ticket.” While Deal Barbie might not provide the extraordinary gifts like SWATcash, it is a big plus to be rewarded under any circumstances.

I really like the Deal Barbie referral system. When you first consider the referral payout ratios (15% first-level, 3% second-level, 2% third-level) things don’t really look to fantastic. However, the website offers an instant $1 (and 5 credits) if you can get a referral to complete just one offer. This is really nice for those of us picking up referred members that are inactive in less than a week. There is also an “upgrade” system to pick up unreferred members. I really don’t think this is very effective, but hey… why not?

Deal Barbie goes WAY overboard in selling merchandise. Seriously… I don’t want a DealBarbiePays.com t-shirt, mug or keychain. I am really unsure who is buying this stuff, but if they are actually selling it more power to ‘em. Cafepress has its place, and I don’t think it is in get paid to websites. As long as we are on the subject (haha), the service and support from Deal Barbie is a big plus. I’ve read multiple reports proclaiming the ethics and passion that the owner, Christina, puts into the business. The support forum is a bit shady, not going to lit to you, but if you actually need to contact someone they are all very helpful.

The excellent service, payment scheme and contest system completely outweigh the fact that it is shiftcode-based in my opinion. This makes DealBarbiePays.com the leading shiftcode website (with a 4.5/5 ranking) on theNetFool.com! Congratulations. I trust this website to deliver payment to you. They have paid out almost $700-grand and have shown no signs of stopping. Maybe they don’t have the glamor and user-base as the big dogs, but competitive rates get them by just fine in my book. So stop on by and tell them the net fool sent you, you won’t regret the move.
