Actually, I really am in favor of "full disclosure" on these sorts of things. I remember the first thread on this forum that we had on Zeek rewards someone posted some information about prior programs put out by Paul Burks, while they weren't out right failures or scams, did leave some of their affiliates a little disenfranchised. He brought this information up, but brought it up in a very objective and nonoffensive manner.
Most of us, including several that have posted on this thread listened to him and even agreed with him on some of his points. He was accepted because he obviously had actually researched ZR... Personally, I am perfectly fine with that. It's these individuals that scream scam when they obviously have not researched anything about ZR except for maybe doing a search for "Zeek Rewards scam" that I have a problem with. And they then, if they even bother to give us a reason, parrot back what they found there, which of course is almost laughable.
I think smallgiant nailed it when he said, "Funny how different things look once you've seen behind the curtain" on the first page. If you actually look closely with an objective eye at ZR you'll see and understand that the likelihood is that this is a scam is almost 0.
As ZR is becoming to be more and more transparent and their efforts to comply with US regulations intensifying, almost to a fault, most of their former critics who have influence in the industry are at least agreeing that ZR is not a scam and some are even embracing the company.

Can you go into more details on this?

This 5cc was the name of the program through which Zeek rewards provided us with retail customers? We essentially purchased our customers that we needed to give our bids to through them. However, since the new government regulation took effect, ZR can no longer directly provide us with our customers, we have to find them on our own or purchase them.
At first glance, things looked sort of dismal, especially those of us that had to give away a substantial number of bids every day. As it turned out, it really wasn't so bad... What were we doing before with the 5cc in place? Place our daily ad to attract customers. When we don't have enough customers through our own efforts to give our bids to, we purchased customers.
What are we doing now all that the PRC is in place? Place our daily ad to attract customers. When we don't have enough customers through our own efforts to give our bids to, we work a little harder to get more customers or......purchase customers.
What has changed? Just looking at things VERY simply...nothing. (I know, I may be oversimplifying this just a bit, but bear with me)
What has changed if we look at things in a little more detail? Well, it's not quite as easy to get the extra customers that we need now that the 5cc has disappeared, but what was the 5cc doing? It was letting us purchase customers. But, we can still do that! There are many venues through which we can purchase customers for around the same price as we were paying for the 5cc.
I think I've found one that will work form me. It's called Zcustomers.com. They seem to be set up specifically to cater ZR affiliates as they flood customers directly into your ZR customer base.
The cost is about the same as 5cc, $2.50 per customer and it has worked flawlessly for me for quite some time now.

@shelterman Cool. Thanks for the info. I'm still confused on one more thing. I joined Zeek recently and I'm noticing something.
I purchased sample bids (got 100 vip points). Under the "Bid Give Manager" in the zeek back office, I gave out 25 each day.. but after a few days, I gave out more then the 100 I purchased.
Am I missing something?

That is perfectly normal. You'll find that you will be giving out way more bids than what you initially purchased. The company will advance you bids, plus if you have your bid repurchase setting set at 100% repurchase in your retail profit pool report, you will also be purchasing bids every day.
Really all you need to worry about is the making sure that you have enough customers to cover the bids that you generate. And if you've only purchased 100 bids so far you shouldn't have to worry about customers for quite some time, and because you can now give up to 1000 bids per customer.

Interesting thread guys, I had never heard of Zeek Rewards. I am usually pretty skeptical about things like this, but when you have so many BHW members that have been forum members for healthy seasons of time giving it a thumbs up it definitely makes it interesting.
Shelterman - Can you PM regarding this? I had a question and found your posts the most helpful. I don't have 15 posts yet because I'm a noob, and can't PM you directly. Thanks.

For future reference, anyone wishing to contact any of the ZeekRewards affiliates that have posted on this thread can usually find their contact information under their profile.
Even if you cannot PM the affiliate, usually the affiliate will provide contact information in their profile such as e-mail address, Skype, etc.

For those that wish to read and listen to objective reporting on the latest info on the banned countries/affiliates that ZR has imposed check it out here.
I have noticed lately that ZR has been really good about updating their news page. In the past, I was frustrated when we weren't notified about changes or problems. I truly believe this company is here for the long haul and I am so excited about the company's future. I have only been in for 6 months and I should be able to pay off my house within the next year. I have made my living on the internet for the past 12 years and I have found nothing that comes close to what this company has to offer. Amazing enough...black hat isn't even needed to make a profit with Zeek Rewards! LOL!

Where can I find out what countries are allowed in ZR affiliate program - it can't hurt to join as free member to take a look from the inside, but I'm a bit confused and can't find exactly where to join, submit email and stuff...
I come from Croatia.
EDIT: I just found a registration form - I was wondering why isn't there Croatia on the list? I see Bosnia and Herzegovina (neighboring country to Croatia), but not my country. Hell, Croatia will even become a part of EU relatively soon and BiH is nowhere near that - weird...
EDIT2: Well, I can't say I didn't try
LiveChat conversation
It's really stupid that I can't join just because I live in my country XD

Rovad,
Unfortunately the reason for this is that there are stupid people that live in both of our countries.

I've checked those OFAC legislations/bills or whatever they're called, judging by what they say it seems that PayPal, Amazon, Clickbank, ADsense and a bunch of other legit companies may get into trouble for accepting Balkan affiliates/publishers?! 
AFUQ:
I've been earning some nice income from all of those over the past 3-4 years, I've never done anything shady or illegal and I always received checks/payments (Adsense even offers Western Union, very convenient for private publishers) on time and without any problems.
Regardless of ZR, do you maybe know where can I get more, but simpler information about this? - the texts from those OFAC PDFs are a bit confusing for an average marketer like me with little to no technical knowledge about law terminology and that kind of stuff...

I've thought the same thing cybernac. Kinda ironic too that these ZR threads are thriving on this forum.
Without reading all the pages, I read smallgiant's post that you must refer people in order to become profitable. However, I plan on putting in alot of capital in Zeek, and my sponsor has said that I will not need to do ANYTHING, other than post my daily ad in order to become successful. Was my sponsor wrong?

Well, I'm not sure I would put it quite THAT simply, but in the spirit that he/she probably meant it, there isn't MUCH else you have to do if you are just interested in earning the daily profit pool and I would say you can become successful with ZR by focusing only on the Retail Profit Pool. However, I wouldn't totally ignore recruiting or the profitability of the matrix though as it is pretty significant once you gain a sizable down line.
tianh, I gave you the link to a good series of videos that really cuts to the chase on making money with ZR. This series of videos is put out by my own personal sponsor. I will also post it here for anyone else that may be interested.
