Yeah, the JD Power surveys are the most boring of all. I’m actually happy when the “you do not qualify” message pops up at the beginning.

Also, Focus Pointe Global is merging with Schlesinger/Inspired Opinions. I dont like this because FPG is TERRIBLE, but Schlesinger is an excellent company. This may really hurt Schlesinger.

Anybody here ever get this message from them?I got it about a month ago and contacted support and didn't hear anything so contacted support again yesterday. I don't think I will ever hear from them. I have been doing Peanut Lab surveys for many years and never had an issue. Then suddenly one day I got blocked. And I belong to a lot of panels that have Peanut Lab surveys and am being blocked from taking these surveys on all of them. I think I know what may have triggered this. I got blocked from all Swagbucks and My Points surveys a few months ago so then I was more aggressive with the Peanut Lab surveys. Especially with Swagbucks so I could meet my daily goal. But I still was answering the surveys the way I always did. Nothing changed. I wrote about this before. No way I can prove it but if you complete too many surveys with any one company in a short period of time you might get flagged or in my case get your account suspended. This is an issue with a lot of panels. For the most part they are not paying much for completed surveys or at least as much as they used to so if they see that someone is completing a lot of surveys they may be assuming that the person is faking their way through even if they aren't. And it gives them an excuse to get rid of you. And they don't need to give you a reason for doing this. They can terminate any panelist for any reason or even for no good reason. Anybody who belongs to a lot of panels and has been doing surveys for a long time like I have is very likely going to have to eventually have to deal with issues like this.

And I just finished one about mobile carriers that DQed me after I was done. Almost 20 minutes pissed away for a nickel. Why do I do this to myself?

Update. Just noticed the nice folks at BDE added a few hundred points to my account for no other reason than putting me up to the level where I could claim that third $10 Amazon gift card. I didn't ask; they just did it. I know we generally moan and complain (and rightfully so!) about how we get treated by these survey places, but I thought it was important to recognize a place when it does go above and beyond to do something nice!

Just a little rant about some useless routers. Let's start with Easy Surveys (should be called impossible surveys) I have been doing surveys for quite a number of years and have NEVER qualified for one of these surveys. They are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. SaySo surveys are another useless router. I have only ever done about two of these. Never qualify for them. Pollfish are hopeless as well. There are of course many more. Safe to say I don't waste my time anymore on any of these.

Can we please just get rid of the dreaded Sample Cube. They are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. If you are unlucky to get on one of their routers, best pack a bag cause you won't be going anywhere anytime soon. They just redirect you a thousand times, asking the same boring questions over & over, plus they either take an age or they don't redirect you back so you miss out on DQ points. Does my head in.

Has anyone successfully redeemed anything from them recently or have a valid contact number? My last redemption was June 2019 which was fine. Now all of a sudden when I tried to redeem their site is claiming my birthdate doesn't match their records & there isn't anything on the site to check your profile to see what they show it is so the redemption just sits there and will not process Any contact number I found either rings busy it shouldn't be busy at 2am...or is dead & they don't respond to their contact us form (if you can actually get it to work)

When a survey cube survey comes up, I abort. I'm tired of wasting my time with survey Cube.

I get these guys a lot, but they seem to be another router that disqualifies you often before you even saw what the survey is about.

I just received an email from them that states they’ll be shutting down in May. Their panel has sucked for a long time, but worst of all, I currently have 4,600 points, and they STILL haven’t paid out for they 1,000 point survey that they sent out back in July. If they hadn’t cheated us out of those points, I could cash out. As it stands now, I just forfeit the points.
