InfinityBux is a buxhost site over 6 months old, however the site is part of a huge network that has a lot of issues. As of now we are removing this site from the Legit List to the Watch List. Site is still paying but has payment processor issues, removal of the support ticket system, and owner constantly spams members with their updates in the message center. See "cons" for more info
Here are the pros & 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://www.infinitybux.com/forum/index.php
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:

http://www.ptcsquad.com/forum/Thread-Need-Referrals-for-A-Paying-PTC?pid=6892#pid68923. Decent Direct Referral Limits - Currently standards can have up to 55 direct referrals. Great for promoters and those who can earn their own referrals.
4. Instant Payments - A great option for any site to have. No more waiting days or weeks for something you rightfully earned.
CONS:
1. Support Ticket System Removed. - At first it was
$100 to contact them via support. Since then they have removed the support system altogether and you have to discuss account issues out in the open forum. Which is not recommended for personal account issues that member's may have.
2. Too Many Sites? - Well we know they can't handle support
tickets and I have expressed my concern with the owner before about him
opening one too many sites. I think placing a $100 fee on support ticket
just shows that he can't handle running so many sites. Owner
says he plans on opening altogether 12 sites. From what we have seen,
large networks tend to fail. It is hard enough to run one site yet alone
12 sites. Most of these large networks open other sites to pay for
older debt from the older sites.

3. Payment Processor Issues - First it was PayPal. They were limited due to fraudulent activity from
investments. Soon after paypal decided this network is too risky to do
business with. Now it appears alertpay is giving them problems. With
that said, many sites are experiencing problems with alertpay, but at
the same time this network can't afford to have both paypal and alertpay
problems.
Since the alertpay issues, instant cashouts have been disabled and
the site is paying manually as funds are added to alertpay. With a big
network like this, it will cause long payment delays. As of now there is
no set time frame as to when people will get paid.
4. Message Center Spam -
This is annoying the hell out of users and I do not blame them for
getting upset over this. Instead of the owner keeping them informed
about issues and updates about the site, the owner decides to force
people to read the message center about other sites he has joined or
owns. Basically he is misusing this tool that was meant for showing
updates, and instead using it to get more signups.
5. Abrupt Changes - Site is changing referral earnings and cashout with short notice.
Cashout is now at $10 for all standard members cashouts. Their reasoning
behind this is due to cheaters creating another account after they
cashout.
6. Deletes Forum Posts - Owner decided to attack us for placing his site on the Watch List and made an announcement on his forum about our blog. Note that he did this a month after we moved his site to the Watch List and when our blog was down.
So in return we confronted him by replying to this announcement on the forum and wanted to make it clear that his site is on the right list. He approved our posts at first, then later turned around and deleted all of our replies without reason. He even was posting replies taunting us with comments like "whats wrong boss, don't like when people talk about you" without allowing our posts to show. Very childish and unprofessional way to behave when someone is trying to defend their actions. Even talked down at us for wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! While I don't want to make this personal, the guy was being a total jerk and I can see why so many are fed up with this network.
Later the entire announcement was removed along with all the posts and replies. This is not the first time that this has occurred. We have received several reports about posts deletions.
Note that the owner has posted here several times on our blog and not a single time have we ever deleted any of his posts or restricted him from defending his site in any way. Too bad he doesn't exercise the same courtesy to others.

7. BuxHost/NextGen Site - One of the easiest host to
purchase a ptc site. Anyone with $25 can open up a site. Makes it very
easy for scammers to open a site. There are a few that are honest and
actually trying, however most go scam. If you don't know what a buxhost
site is, look at the footer of the PTC site. More info on Buxhost sites:

For now we would recommend that if you plan on using this site be sure to test it fully before you decide to invest. Site will remain on the Watch List till most of the issues listed in the "cons" are no longer.
We will continue to monitor this site. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.
