  1. I am sure we all got this email beginning with the following: "Just a few more days until PaidViewpoint’s rebrand takes place! Get ready for a fresh logo, updated colors, and a modernized design that'll make your experience even better." I believe in the expression "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but that doesn't ever seem to be the case nowadays. All sites update and then we, as the user, have to get used to all the changes. For me most of the changes are totally unnecessary and just make it so much more difficult to navigate a site. Yes, we all eventually get used to the changes but more often than not, these changes are totally unnecessary. But this is JMHO. I really like PaidViewpoint and hope these changes are truly for the better. Am I the only one that feels "Leave well enough alone." ? Thanks for your input

  2. I hate them but worse are the captcha pictures. Click on all of the motorcycles. Do I click on the end of the back wheel which is also in a box? I guess not because they give me another one and on. and on. These are ridiculous. Of course I'm not a robot. They really insult our intelligence.

  3. Proofreading is an unknown factor for survey writers.

  4. I have been with PrizeRebel for about a year now, and qualify for roughly 1 in 50 surveys. Anyone else find this site hard to qualify for surveys?

  6. And recently I've been getting ones with very grainy pictures that could be almost anything.

  8. I love the cat surveys. They usually take under ten mins and so far I've always qualified and been rewarded. It's the only survey I trust I'll get paid. If it's a movie survey I put my age as 4 instead of 45 and dq.

  9. How about the ones in which you answer eight prescreen questions and a few from the survey, and then they finally say, "We are looking for married men age 40-55 who own their own business and have at least one underage mistress. If you or someone in your household quality, please have them take this survey." How about making that the first thing in the survey?

  10. As others have mentioned, I think this was a mistake and you were not supposed to see this. I've had similar messages within surveys, making no sense, am sure those are in error too.

  11. I figure it's there to cover them for everything short of the International Space Station falling on them and to screw us the survey taker. I tried reading it once and found it's a total screw job. No more reading for me, they're gonna do what they're gonna do....

  12. I've seen something like that a couple of times in the middle of a survey, but they weren't nearly as understandable as yours. I assumed it was shown by mistake.

  16. Has anybody here had any problems with Lifepoints today? I got an email about a survey. When I clicked it, I got my sign in page, and I clicked on that. I then got a three letter code I was supposed to enter. When I did that, it sent me to the log in page. I have been going around in circles trying to log in there today.

  17. Would have selected "2" since that is the same position in the alphabet as "B". Worst that could happen is a DQ.

  18. Thank you for your response. I was hoping that it was a language problem or Google translate did it wrong. Maybe the poster didn't understand that referrals are not permitted, as they probably don't speak English or their English is limited. Whatever it is, I hope my responses were not misunderstood by anyone. I was just trying to be welcoming to a newbie who had never been here before.

  19. I've seen plenty of surveys that had questions I couldn't answer, but none as stupid as the one you described. The ones I see usually desperately need a "none of the above" answer that they don't have. At any rate, I just quit them as well. You just know you're really not going to get anywhere and it's no use wasting time.

  23. It makes me crazy when you specifically indicate you don't shop at a store because they aren't where you live, just as you indicated. Then they ask you your birthday month and proceed to have you evaluate a store where you CAN'T shop even if you wanted to.

  24. Seen that one many times on MyPoints. Does not seem to matter what is entered. That "survey" seems to only act as a gateway to another survey. Also hate it when a survey asks what stores are local to you , but then proceeds to have you evaluate a store whose closest store is over 1000 miles away.

  25. I hate the survey that asks you when you last shopped at certain stores. Some I've never heard of and most of the rest of them don't even have stores in my state. One of them I know is out of business. So most of the answers I give go in the "never" box. Then they ask how much I spent in one of the stores I've never been to in the last month.

  26. I just joined a new site, and one of the questions on my very first survey was the superpower one. So I put the power to finish every survey I take and never be disqualified. Hey, they accepted that.

  28. YUP! Far too familiar. I just back out of those. Particularly hate it when it is supposed to be a ten minute survey and you are still doing qualifying questions after ten minutes. BYE BYE!!

  29. How about picking a seven-minute survey, only to be told when you finally get to the survey that it will take 20 minutes? I get that stuff all the time.

  30. i just had one that the lowest income was "under $150,000". and then the next questions was what are you total assets and the first one wqs "under $150,000". i think the creators of the survey have made a coding error.

  31. I don't read them either but I look for the general idea of the study...if I see I have to talk with another person or play a game, I opt out. Sometimes that's in the mile long blurb. I always wondered if other people read this stuff...WAY too long!

  32. Definitely the latter. They're pulling from a database that hasn't been maintained in aeons, because maintenance costs money, and having a buggy survey doesn't. It always makes me sad seeing Fresh & Easy in lists - they were one of my favorite grocery stores, until they went out of business like a decade ago.

  33. I see Wieboldt's listed as well. It was closed in 1987 and I'm surprised it lasted that long. I went there as a very little kid in the early 60s. I think these are just trick questions to weed out the non-serious survey takers.

  34. Once in a blue moon I'll see similar "testing" text during a survey, presumably because of a glitch since survey takers aren't supposed to see that information. However it's mostly gibberish that I don't fully understand, not quite as concise and neat as what you posted.

  36. Survey has a bunch of pre screener questions that I qualified with.. ( survey was supposed to take no more than 10 minutes) Then it tells you: we want to show you a short video before the next set.. You get the silly music with dolphins swimming and the video buffers and buffers..I keep refreshing.. but it still happens.. Another 5 minutes passes and finally goes on to the next video ad.. stop starts, stop.. etc... then another.. ( buffer) Finally I click 'continue' Message appears says: 'you have reached the end but you took too long so you are disqualified' I find myself saying a few 4 letter words aloud and then laugh at myself for being foolish enough to have been patient just in the hopes of collecting 20 points

  37. Yes, I can totally relate and it's really frustrating. I get disappointed when it gives me a message that I am disqualified. It feels like I've just wasted my time.

  39. Yes, I've come across that quite a few times, but I'm "busy" with so many other survey sites that I just move on to something else

  40. The other problem with those photo ones is how small some of the pictures are. Pick all the photos with traffic lights. Well, it looks like there's a wire across the road about a mile away, but I can't really tell if there's a traffic signal hanging down or not. I hate those grainy ones too. I had one with bicycles the other day, and one click was just a lucky guess, because I couldn't tell what the thing was.

  43. I don't know if they're not busy or what but I redeemed for a $10 Amazon Gift Card this morning & I received it this afternoon...that's never happened before & was nice to see it happen..would love to see "instant rewards" once you redeem as it would be nice not having to wait days or up to a week to get the reward you redeem for...but today was a nice change...anyone else have this happen with Tellwut?

  47. Did the site go through an update or something? Today they asked me to fill in a bunch of information including my address before I got sent to a survey, which was unusual. Also I noticed that in my rewards tab it mentioned migrated points, which I hadn't seen before. Also the site seems to be glitching like crazy; I had a MyTelco survey email reminder this morning but the survey won't show up on my dashboard, also surveys keep disappearing and then reappearing after logging in.

  48. I have not gotten two cents lately. I did really well on Life Points today though. I got my monthly Telco survey, and then I completed two other surveys. Two of the surveys I tried were closed. I still have one survey worth 75 points left to do.
