Folks, The new incarnation of SurveyHoney has proven to even worse than before the resurrection. SurveyHoney fields "surveys" for other survey companies, and they are almost exclusively routers. I had an extended dialogue with "support" about this misrepresentation and the pat response was "we have no responsibility for what the companies we field for do. I suggested two ways to counter this panelist abuse, use the fielding contracts to identify routers or debrief the panelists and ask them if they were exposed to a router. Both suggestions were ignored. This apparently also includes bluntly unethical behavior from the external survey companies. Such as the following, I clicked a 25 point reward for completion for a 13-minute survey. Well, it turned out to be more like 45 minutes and three back to back surveys. One survey on medical conditions, another detailed survey on commercial medications I was taking and then an extremely detailed survey on why I wasn't using android smartphones and what it would take to get me to switch from iPhone to Samsung. UPDATE 1: i decided to try to see if I determine if there were ANY surveys fielded by SurveyHoney. So I opened a "survey" link from the dashboard and sure enough it went to a router. I aborted the router and returned to the dashboard and tried another. This happened 4 times back to back and on the fifth attempt I was blocked because I wasn't finishing surveys. So there, SurveyHoney only fields routers. UPDATE 2, FEB: As I gather information on conduct for my ESOMAR report complaint, I now will be adding professional incompetence to the report, see section 9 of the ESOMAR Code, links have been posted to the forum previously. I undertook a 13 minute 26 point survey. I started at IPSOS, bounced through survey cube twice, CINT twice and some others. I ended up on a tedious 40-min car survey from Yuno and when I completed the survey I was shown the following message " Survey already taken As you have already answered this survey, this transaction will be considered invalid. I imagine Y'all have been through this too and the time and effort to be credited can take many exchanges, can consume as much time as it took to complete the survey and there is a strong chance of being ignored, diverted, such as "not our problem" and more.2 points

From what I understand, if we make $600 or more with one company, they are required to send us a 1099 form for taxes that has to be declared. What happens if this company is based in England, like Prolific or others that pay us in British pounds (but converted to U.S. dollars in Paypal). Does anyone know from past experience?1 point

Not sure if it was because I filed a complaint with the BBB against them, but I was just paid from Pinecone after waiting two weeks. Right afterwards, I received an email from the BBB that my case has been resolved. It should be interesting to see if Pinecone drops me now from future surveys.1 point

Glad you got paid. When I had my problem with them, I was about to file a complaint with the BBB and told them that in my final email to them. My credit showed up shortly after that. So maybe there is something to a BBB complaint.1 point
