Is Sonic Bids a Scam?

[T_R_S]

I joined Sonic Bids because I got a free 1 year membership.
First I am wondering about i f anyone had good experiences.
I get about 3 emails a day from them.
I submitted for a song for an major airline music show.
The song had few thousand hits on Youtube and got a bunch of airplay.
But they took my $20 and I never heard anything about it not even a rejection email.
I just did it to see what became of it - I don't care about the 20 bucks - It just seems that it (SonicBids) is scam. Plus they even what money form bands to post a video on the bands EPK. Sorry but there a million places for band to post videos on the internet for free.
Does anyone have positive experiences with Sonic Bids?

We got some gigs from it. Gigs that paid fairly well and provided food and treated us well. It was the guitarist that dealt with it though, so I'm not sure quite how it all operated. Generally speaking I don't think they provide many opportunities you couldn't create for yourself (as you mentioned). I have always maintained that if you desire to make money in the music industry then you should provide a service to musicians, not be a musician yourself.
