We've all had them. Sometimes I can't believe these questions were approved by a group of adults. In taking a survey about frozen french fries, one of the questions was "which brand helps you spend more time with your kids?" What does that even mean? These are the types of surveys that I really hope companies aren't using to make decisions. People (me included) are clicking anything to just get thru the nonsense.

Along those same lines, how about the ones where they have you pick 5 out of like 100 photos that you think represent how you would feel using a certain product, and it's like pictures of clouds, kittens, fruit etc. I mean, come on!

I'm happy to hear the surgery went well. You and Mr. Peach are in my thoughts.

Thank You He made it through surgery which took 6 hours he had an Annereusym repaired He is in ICU and is doing okay

I loathe the ones that show you different faces and you have to pick what job you think each person has. So stupid.

Will do. Whoops...guess I should have read down farther, glad to hear he is doing well.

Haha, yeah, and then they typically ask 'what does this picture mean to you' and why does it represent to you whatever product or issue they are asking about. Crazy arse stuff.

Include

Six hours...wow. Wishing Mr. Peach a full and speedy recovery. Stay strong the two of you!

I hate those too. I swear these survey companies like to play head games with people.

I’m glad to hear he is doing okay. You both are in my prayers.

I use Firefox, and have no problem with them on my desktop, other than they're slow and sooo boring.

Probably even more infuriating than ridiculous questions are the logic fails I encounter almost every day. You know the sort of thing: 'Do you have children? No. How old are they?' 'Do you have a car? No. What make is it?' I've lost count of the number of times I've been forced to supply false data in this way.

So I have a brand new Ipad, with all the bells and whistles. This has made it a little easier to do surveys, as I am not experiencing problems with my memory being full and all that. So why, oh why do these surveys want me to install Adobe Flash? It never works, and when I Googled installing Adobe Flash, it stated that most mobile devices neither need nor support Adobe Flash. So I cannot install this anyway. In the last few days, I’ve had a plethora of surveys that want me to install Flash. It’s getting very annoying. So here’s my demand to survey companies: Attention all survey companies - Get with the times and get with the program! Stop asking me to install Adobe Flash. I will simply X out and skip your stupid survey. Nobody really supports Flash anymore, and you all are behind the times. Stop. It. Already. Ugh.

Please keep my Husband in your thoughts and prayers he is having surgery today

I don't know if they got new gift certificates since I mainly get Macy's to give to my Mom for Christmas.However their point value changed used to be $70 for a $25 gift certificate now it's 75 for a $25 gc.I guess they finally realized that they were asking $70 for a $25 gc and $ 150 for a $50 gc because they now changed it to 145 for the $50..Oh well that was good while it lasted.I do think they got more I saw a Burlington and I don't remember seeing that one before.

Aretha!

Respect

Admiration

I finally was able to log in again after being locked out for 2 months! I wrote to that "BEN" today and they fixed it in 10 minutes. I did not have to make a new account or anything. All my old points were there and they also gave me 600 points for my troubles. I wrote that I been a member for over 10 years and there is no reason why i am locked out except for a bug on their end. Ben wrote back it was a tech glitch and apologized. I never had to make a new account at all. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE TO THAT BEN-OTHERWISE YOUR GOING TO HAVE ENDLESS EMAILS GOING TO A HELP DESK IN INDIA THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING! WRITE TO BEN AND PUT THAT CODE IN HE SAYS TO.

Burlington has been there for quite a while and the amounts were always $75 for $25 and $145 for $50. Unfortunately, I went to cash out for one this morning and it said "Sorry, you've reached your temporary redemption limit for this reward." Wonder how long "temporary" is? Is the $18 for a $5 Red Lobster card new? I thought that was interesting! I think the site looks good.

Regulate

I am going to quit as soon as I can cash out, period. Help desk said I got the points and I DID NOT, for all three surveys....what a rip off.... I have so had it! YOU ARE SO RIGHT, NevadaJones!!

Included. My best to your husband and yourself, peach6.

Done

It's weird Cliche, I came back on my profile page and now Starbucks is up. Maybe I just needed to do a refresh, weird. Macy's is gone. They still have LongHorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden and Red Lobster. I love those restaurants, so that's a good thing. Some of the vendors are a little too young for me like AEO. I wish they had PayPal as well.

Sometimes I think that the people who make up surveys are a pack of lunatics.

EXTRA! EXTRA! It seems Ben worked his MAGIC and I received an email and was told that all my points would be transferred in 3-4 business days! I will report back as soon as this happens!!! IF you are having problems, please do follow the info I previously posted and maybe you will have some success in recovering your account.

Well, after getting a response from Lifepoints on 6th Dec, and following their instructions to open a new account, I received another daft email today:- "After reviewing your member history and performing an audit of your membership, we have found evidence that you have violated LifePoints community Terms and Conditions, which has resulted in your membership being deactivated. Membership in LifePoints requires truthfully and honestly answering the questions presented in each survey. The survey answers provided by members is vital to the research and businesses asking for opinions. We are aware of certain members completing surveys without actually answering any survey questions, opening duplicate memberships and/or referring the same person(s) with different email addresses, using the same IP address. Please note that this is a violation of the LifePoints Reward Point Rules and therefore we have deactivated your membership and forfeited all LifePoints collected until this point." And after I queried this email (as I know I haven't breached T&Cs) they sent this:- "Your inquiry was escalated for further review. Per management, Terms and Condition violations have been confirmed and the account(s) will remain closed. LifePoints reserves the right to terminate any membership suspected of Terms and Condition violations and further forfeit all awards earned from said account. LifePoints does not reveal how investigations are conducted or the measures taken to investigate memberships. This policy is a precaution to prevent future circumvention of our security measures and/or investigative tactics. LifePoints always errs on the side of the member, and the evidence must be overwhelming to result in membership termination. The evidence in your case was overwhelming. Therefore, your membership(s) were terminated and all associated awards were forfeited upon membership termination". I also have a similar problem with survey panels on the CINT platform (Falkor Studios, Opini, PanelChamp, Surveyyeah and Saybucks), so I'm wondering whether they've fed back incorrect info to Lifepoints. Has anyone else been affected in this way?
