  1. Throttling an account is how survey companies get around not paying for work done, by keeping a panelist below the payout threshold. UserCrowd, ViewPointForum, Walmart Spark surveys, and others do this. Some like Toluna, Walmart, i-say will forfeit the points, if they languish too long. This is one of the unethical behaviors of this industry that I'm contemplating making a stink about to regulators.

  2. Swagbucks used to be a great way to do interesting surveys that worked well with no issues. Now all of the sudden these last few months, I am noticing that several surveys have technical issues and I am unable to complete. I also notice that they are having much longer surveys with very few points to redeem.

  3. Since having had my DQ points limited, I haven't been spending as much time there. Overall, it hasn't been as good for me the last few months, but I still snag a few decent paying surveys often enough to keep me interested.

  4. I've gotten that message a few times. Sometimes I still automatically get credit, other times not at all.

  5. It's been since the pandemic forced people to stay in that I noticed that the minutes per survey didn't add up with the cents being offered. I saw a dozen surveys that were like 25 minutes for 18 cents. I said no thanks. I can't make the minimum points each day, and that is ridiculous.

  6. Perhaps it has something to do with this year's data breaches?

  7. This doesn't surprise me. From my many interactions with IPSOS/i-Say, I think they have gone into decline. This is because they now offer zero point surveys. Support deflects helping panelists unless a request is directly tied to an email invitation. Meaning they deflect helping you if you primarily use the panelist dashboard for surveys. The survey IDs that they demanded are not apparent from the dashboard. If you try to get help after a survey bombs, like not being returned after completion from a fielded 3rd party survey, that information is impossible to retrieve and support is incompetent getting it from screenshots or URL captures. When they do respond it is majorly parsimonious. This morning support "granted" me 10 points for completing a survey I escalated because it failed to return me after completion. it was a 90 point survey. As to fielding, I don't get much support either, I had a toilet paper test and the evaluation questionnaire closed prematurely. No help from support.
