I was awarded a bug bounty (very simple bug) in fall of 2013. I'm yet to receive the award for it. The bounty giver is a reputed organization and boasts of million in bounty. I'm wondering if these companies are putting X amount in a savings account. And then paying the bounty via interests..or may be there is a glitch. But after more than a couple emails assuring me it will be send in next cycle, I've just lost hope. I infact feel embarrassed about asking for it and will stop asking them.
I might as well change my paypal so that I never receive anything from them!

#2Publicly shame them. That seems to send companies into overdrive to correct errors & issues.

exactly what I was going to say. they don't realize a lot of devs pay their rent via bounties. not to mention a lot of these security bounties leave their product/app vulnerable to getting rooted.
blog about it, I'll share it to my 5000 followers of CEO's, VCs, and developers :).
