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.

She's there for me. Must think I'm handsome.

Yonder!

When I participated in Opinion OutPost Surveys some years ago, they proved to be not only incompetent but disingenuous providing support. I think they equate lying and deception as an appropriate support methodology. OO systems frequently run poorly, fail to finish or return a panelist to be credited for completing a survey. I opened support tickets, tracked them and noticed a pattern in outcomes, a "tough cookies" response or being ignored and incomplete resolution. So, I bundled all the incomplete responses, such as "we will get back to you on this type responses", refreshed to support tickets and never heard back. I eventually made a payout threshold and dropped out of OO surveys.

ER used to be you could use redeem a gift card every quarter. Now it's 90 days. For example, I could redeem a Starbucks gift card in November and on January 1st of the following year I could redeem another one. Now it's exactly 90 days. Here is question I have and I wonder if anyone else who's on the ER panels noticed. When you now redeem a reward it has a pull-down menu from 1-5. So if you were redeeming a $50 GC does that mean you could redeem 5 $50 gift cards? Anyone else see this?

I'm beginning to think a lot of these up and coming survey companies are sleazy. What bothers me is that these advertising agencies, survey companies and large corporations are making a boat load of money. Some of those ideas they use are from survey takers like myself. I've seen some of the things I've said on advertisement and even on their questions they ask me, from other survey companies. Makes me feel used. I don't like it at all.

That is really odd. I still have surveys (not that many), but I do have some. I got over a half dozen emails from them today.

Ground.

Nice sleuthing!

Would this happen to be a yogurt survey by any chance? I did one for them & I live in Canada & they sent me to a store to buy a certain yogurt..I buy the damn thing & they end up telling me it's the wrong one..I wasn't the wrong one..it just happens that the survey was for people in the USA only & for some reason I got hooked into the survey & ended up paying for the product & go $$$ 0 back from OO for their mistake
