  1. Today, I’m very much hating on these survey sites. Most days, even on kind of crappy days, I can score at least one survey out of the multiple survey sites I belong to. I’ve been going at it almost two hours and snake eyes. Absolutely jack squat. I get on weekends there aren’t that many, but I can usually score 3-4 surveys on a weekend day. I’m angry and venting for no reason other than to get this out of my system. I feel these survey sites are total hot garbage dumpster fire at this point. They all suck and can get bent. They can all go belly up. Screw them all. I am being restrained. I used a lot more dirty language earlier, complete with f bombs, when I vented to my hubby. I am done for today. I’m not in a conducive mood to work on any more surveys. I don’t like to do that when I’m angry like this. I will crack open a beer and turn on some football. I deserve a day off, and since I’m my own boss, I have generously decided to give myself the rest of the day off. :) It’s not like I rely on these for income. It’s just beer and vacation money. My niece is getting married in March, and I have to book a hotel and that, as I plan to go. So that’s what I’m using my survey money for. I shouldn’t put too much pressure on myself. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks everyone for listening to me whine. Have a good weekend.

  2. Yeah. I get DQ pennies from Peanut on PrizeRebel and MyPoints. But I'm also stuck with a perma-ban page whenever I click on a Peanut survey on Swagbucks or InboxDollars. Thinking of complaining, but not sure if it's worth it.

  3. I have been contacted by businesses and sites after taking surveys. I can't say for certain that it was Tellwut, BUT I know I took the daily surveys yesterday and they are not showing up on my account. So starting today I will be taking a screen shot as soon as I am done taking them and check it again the next morning before I begin the questions for the day. This has happened to be 2X in the past week. And I did log in. Do paying attention isn't an option anymore, or I am just wasting time. I did get a couple of surveys done last week with them, but it was a wash with the 2 days that I didn't get credit. Sooo, that being said, I do think that our info is sold by the survey companies and that is how I am ending up with over 100 junk emails every day. Ridiculous. I don't open them, I just delete and go on. And deleting cookies is a good thing. And don't do any banking surveys. There, I am done now.

  4. I don't think no one has to get over anything. This is a rant/rave section of the forum. That's what it's for. Ranting, raving and letting off steam. In a polite way...................

  5. I'm not a beer lover, but I'll toast to you with a Malibu Rum and Coke! I want to pull my hair out on some of these surveys. Not only do many of them drone on and on about stupid crap, I end up being on one for 20 minutes and I get the you've been DQ'd message. Darnit! It's infuriating. Last year I ixnayed 4 survey panels. I found that I was spending way too much time sitting for very little money. I'm down to 3 and I'm ready to fire 2 of them. The one that is left is pretty good and has been pretty good to me for 11 years. The rest? I think it's a sign of the times. When the economy is going good (and I don't believe it is now) you have less survey takers and better payouts. When the economy isn't doing that good, more survey takers, companies take advantage of this (just like they do in the private employment market) and give out lower payouts because they can. This one panel I'm on (the one I'm about to fire), I just refuse to do the low paying surveys. It's an insult. I'll go 2 or 3 days without logging in and then I'll go back and there are a few really good paying surveys that I qualify for. They just play stupid silly games. Unresponsive customer service (and it's getting worse in the private sector, even high dollar stores), lower payouts and a meh attitude towards people like us.

  6. I think we all need to take a break from the surveys and do something else for are own sanity they definitely have not been profitable lately I hope they will pick up soon.

  7. Wasn't sure how to react to this. I feel your pain, as I'm sure we all have. On the flip side, dropping F-bombs and having a cold beer sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than trying to find a survey. With any luck, it's just end of the year / start of the year BS and things will pick back up again. Me, I think I'll do the whole Netflix and chill thing.

  8. It is over a month now that I was locked out of Lifepoints and I had to open a new account with a new email address. Lifepoints transferred my points but I have gotten only ONE survey in over a month. I have tried to get help FOUR times and I get repeated generic answers that do NOT answer my questions as to HOW to start getting surveys again.. Besides quitting Lifepoints, is there anything else that you can think of that I can do to start getting surveys again? BTW, I still get Lifepoints informational emails (not emails about surveys) at the OLD email address and none at the new one. FRUSTRATION!!!
