Well I did get my points but if I hadn't of copied and pasted that survey I don't think they would have paid me.

Here is the email I was sent telling us how they have planned this out-But LoL I have a story- When I went to copy this I saw a link to press ,to send them a email , so I thought what the heck and I clicked but instead of letting me send them a email it opted me out of their site and I am no longer a panelist or so I thought.The next page let me opt back in.-Like whew I have 280 pts. in my account.I hope this did not wipe out my points.But anyways.........It did say that I have now Successfully Rejoined You have successfully rejoined the panel. So lets hope I still have my points.It takes 500 points to earn cash out. Happy New Year! MySHOPinion has a big year planned for us. You may have noticed that the look and feel of MySHOPinion has been updated. We hope you like it. We have a new partner we are working with to make your experience more easier! The transition will be seamless to you in that all of your information including your incentive points are still the same and, as a matter of fact, will be much easier to track and redeem. Everything is done through email, you no longer have to log-in to myshopinion.com Going forward you will be notified via email each time you have earned an incentive…and you redeem your points online so you can use them immediately. In the next few weeks you will be receiving an email with your points balance along with a link to redeem them, if applicable. Last email I got from them on 2/1 listed my points as 230 but since it was a link to do another survey it hadn't yet added my other points.So your point value should be listed inside the survey invite.

Final.

I don't like when a panel dumps me into another panel's site for a survey without any mention of the compensation. I just did one last week, spent 25 minutes answering all these very detailed questions on clothing, only to find my effort earned me an entry into a drawing for $500.00 Are you serious? This is like a bait and switch being pulled by both of these companies. I think it's rigged from the start, nobody is gonna qualify for the first study. You get immediately sent into another site mostly without even a mention of the time involved, much less the pay. Branded Surveys is bad about this. They have really hit the skids and most panel members will tell you that.

I have left survey panels that take a ridiculously LONG time to earn and/or pay the rewards promised. One, for example, takes 6 months to pay you. Another one, took me 18 months to earn the $10.00 pay-out. Cheating me out of points is a deal-breaker--I deplore dishonesty; and yet, these very panels demand honesty from us.

I have left because the awards change, say you are getting to cash out at $25 and each survey is worth .50 and then all of a sudden those surveys are worth .35 and you don't qualify often. I also leave a site that won't pay me for my time. If I spend 30 minutes doing a survey, and complete it and get the "thanks for taking the time" message and then get told "sorry, you didn't qualify! better luck next time!" message, they are toast to me. Sometimes I don't leave them, they leave me, no surveys for months and months and then be told that my points will expire. Just little things like that. I understand that the companies have to make money, but when they make the money and don't pass the $$ along to those making the money for them, they can blow away and I won't care a bit about them.
