I've had this happen before, but not this badly. I answered maybe 5 or 6 qualifying questions, then 5 or 6 more questions about whether I've taken surveys on certain products in the last 3 months, and several questions about my purchasing habits concerning a certain product. THEN they say I'm accepted for the survey, and to make sure my webcam is on. I DON'T HAVE A FREAKIN' WEBCAM! Why didn't you ask me that to start with?

Why do the dopes that write surveys insist on shoving "drag and drop" tasks down our throats!? That's just more time wasting game playing!!!!!

I started taking surveys about 20 plus years ago because I really enjoyed the experience. It was a way to relax, share my opinion, and earn a little extra money. Surveys have changed so much and not in a positive way. I'd say 30% or more of the srveys I take don't pay. Instead, when I totally finish a survey i get excuses. 1) We are sorry, but you don't qualify 2) This survey is closed, reached the maximum number of respondents. 3) An error has occurred. We are sorry for the inconvenience 4) This survey has been reset. Go back to original link, blah, blah, blah. About a year ago I took a break from surveys for a few months. I may be ready to do it yet again. But I miss the " frills", the little extra money I earn which allows me to treat myself and those around me to a few things I couldn't otherwise afford. I am just so sick of being treated like crap, not being paid for the work I've done, and getting no response or a negative response when I take the time to write to Customer Service. THANK YOU ALL here on SP for listening to me vent. I feel such frustration as there is nothing any of us can do when we are taken advantage of. Only recourse is to totally quit taking surveys. .

I think the "survey cat" one is during the survey the cat pops up and lets you know you're doing great, just a few more questions the cat shows up a number of times and the survey is a political one where you answer the questions then have to review some videos at the end

I'd call it a profitable and sometimes painful hobby.

I really don't think it matters if they do or not. I don't believe that they care at all. They will write what they write, try to trap us, eliminate us, and get us to take surveys without paying us no matter what. This sounds very negative but I truly believe that most survey sites and survey writers don't really care about us at all. They are there to make a buck and that is it. If we make too much money we get dumped and never told why. It wasn't always like that, even without laws to protect us. Now there are so many of us attempting to take surveys that we are a dime a dozen. Kick us out and there are so many to replace us. I am a positive person in most other walks of life. But after being repeatedly treated like garbage by one survey company after another, quitting most sites, I have an exceptionally low opinion of most survey sites. I DO enjoy the little bit of extra money I make taking surveys, especially during the holiday season. Most of what I make goes to gifts for those in my life. But NO, survey writers and most survey companies don't care one iota about us.

I love the one that asks you to answer these (one) questions: Are you male/female? Then they ask you again. Like in case you weren't sure the first time.

A few minutes ago, I completed & got paid for a survey pertaining to distracted driving......like texting, reading & watching TV. Question #1: ¨ÄRE YOU DRIVING RIGHT NOW?¨ I had a choice of checking either yes or no. I checked no, of course. What I REALLY wanted to do was to type back to the mutants ¨HOW CAN I BE DRIVING WHEN I´M WORKING ON A LAPTOP!!!!????¨ They get dumber and dumber EVERY DAY!!!!!!!

I am sure we all got this email beginning with the following: "Just a few more days until PaidViewpoint’s rebrand takes place! Get ready for a fresh logo, updated colors, and a modernized design that'll make your experience even better." I believe in the expression "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but that doesn't ever seem to be the case nowadays. All sites update and then we, as the user, have to get used to all the changes. For me most of the changes are totally unnecessary and just make it so much more difficult to navigate a site. Yes, we all eventually get used to the changes but more often than not, these changes are totally unnecessary. But this is JMHO. I really like PaidViewpoint and hope these changes are truly for the better. Am I the only one that feels "Leave well enough alone." ? Thanks for your input

They've been getting worse for quite a while in my experience. Many of the images shown are grainy and difficult to make out.

Been with them a few years and though I belong to about 4-5 other sites , this is the one I recommend to others. Today I received a personal email from them giving me Kudos for what they deemed an 'awesome response' I gave recently( can't remember what it was) so I got an extra 20 points. It's the thought that counts.. unlike the other sites who don't give a hoot how much though you put into responses that require detail. So Kudos PV too

I hate them but worse are the captcha pictures. Click on all of the motorcycles. Do I click on the end of the back wheel which is also in a box? I guess not because they give me another one and on. and on. These are ridiculous. Of course I'm not a robot. They really insult our intelligence.

I will not use my webcam and that is my choice.

In the past few weeks I have had capchas that are so blurry or indistinct that I can barely even guess the right answer. Very frustrating to say the least. Anyone else experiencing difficulty with capchas?

Not a dumb question , but a dumb survey question order. Had a survey recently that included a couple of questions mid-0survey regarding dirt on your dog getting in your car (don't have a dog). Later , a couple of questions from the end , it asked if you have a dog!

I just wish surveys would put the important screen-out questions at the front, instead of asking us for 5 minutes of demographics and then asking us if we've bought x/y/z in the past 3 months and screening us out when we say no. Why not just ask that first?! That is also a pipe dream, though - survey writers don't have any incentive to care about whether they're wasting our time, so why would they care?

I agree it's nothing like it used to be

Proofreading is an unknown factor for survey writers.

I just thought of a new superpower to put next time I see that one. The power to finish and be awarded by every survey I take no matter what.

I know. I've lost count of how many times I had to describe the perfect day, vacation, pizza, or what ingredients I would use to build a taco. Or that one asking if you could have any superpower, what would it be?

The superpower one is guaranteed to induce a groan and a sinking feeling from me.

I don't like the Cloud Connect Surveys aka CloudResearch, The screener always asks you if you know the meaning of a bogus list of words or if you can remember all the names of every President in US history.

I do that one lot I am not fond of it but I always do it because I always qualify

I refer to it as supplemental income, not a job per se, as I don't see how you can make a living by taking surveys. It's more in the category of gigs and side hustles. I suppose you could call it being a paid "influencer".

IRS announces delay in Form 1099-K reporting threshold for third party platform payments in 2023; plans for a threshold of $5,000 for 2024 to phase in implementation Changing it to $5,000 seems fair. The $600 was ridiculous IMHO.

I am definitely not comfortable giving out that information who knows where that picture could end up on the internet I don't trust any of the survey companies with that stuff.

From a survey about pets.......................... "Do you own a pet?" My answer: Yes. A choice of pets was then shown, among them an elephant!!!!!!! I picked a cat, We do in fact have a cat. "What is the cat's name?" Our cat's name is Stevie. "Is Stevie a cat or a dog?" THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!!!!!!

I actually qualified for the survey and only asked 4 questions and received 18 points from.prime opinion that never happens

I just took the Political Cat one for the umpteenth time. This one Did Not Make Me Watch A Video! The sky is falling, I tell ya'.

It al! Depends I have closed them when I have already spent a good amount of time on it and don't feel like I can answer anymore of there stupid questions and be truthful I have continued on a weekend when I know the surveys are scarce even though I am not happy about it

Depends on several factors: - what does it pay - boring or interesting (can I see where it is going , topic is good) - how much free time I have

Shared experience..especially lately... Qualtrics surveys.. several pages of ticking in to stupid questions listing companies and how it impacts my community.. huh??? and it goes on and on ..

When I started a survey that the charlatans said would take only a minute or two, I said "YEAH!!!! SURE!!!!!" to myself. BUT THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!! I answered 3 questions about what fruits I buy, and, believe or not, I ,made $1!!!!! Now I hate those dopes only a little bit less.

I am 73 so far they have kept me on but I wouldn't care if I did get booted I get maybe 1 Survey a month and 80% of the time I don't qualify Its not like before I would be so excited when I received a Survey from them because you always qualified and almost always got a product to test Those were the good old days

i get many that give you a list to chose from, but there is no NONE OF THE ABOVE. you either pick something that is not applicable to you or just x out of the survey.

Or the one that wants your opinion of a bunch of companies that have maybe two in the list that I've even heard of. Then they ask you to rate each one in 20 different things, like how they treat their employees and how well they conserve energy. How should I know, I never heard of the place? Got something new just now. The survey warned against using A.I. to answer.

I have been with PrizeRebel for about a year now, and qualify for roughly 1 in 50 surveys. Anyone else find this site hard to qualify for surveys?

Lots of time is wasted. I am retired but still feel my time is worth something.

Proofreading is a lost art.

And recently I've been getting ones with very grainy pictures that could be almost anything.

I often think language is not their primary language.

They expect Us to be on the level but they aren't..

I love the cat surveys. They usually take under ten mins and so far I've always qualified and been rewarded. It's the only survey I trust I'll get paid. If it's a movie survey I put my age as 4 instead of 45 and dq.

How about the ones in which you answer eight prescreen questions and a few from the survey, and then they finally say, "We are looking for married men age 40-55 who own their own business and have at least one underage mistress. If you or someone in your household quality, please have them take this survey." How about making that the first thing in the survey?

How about the ones that ask about your household income last year and they have ranges going up to $200,000 or more. Do they really think anyone making $200,000 a year is going to piddle around with online surveys?

I hate any survey that disqualify you in the middle or at the end of the survey, that's totally unfair.

I love survey cat. Sometimes it's the only survey I can score points on for some survey sites. I hate some of the videos they show though. Some amateur "newscaster"/tiktokker/influencer with fake interviews acting all stupid. Please (eyeroll). I don't know where they dig them up from.

I don't consider it a job. It is the way I can make a little extra money for a few frills in life that I could not otherwise afford.

I am exceedingly impressed with Tellwut Customer Support. I took a survey and joined a site for 1000 points almost two weeks ago. I never got the points so I contacted CS. They have gotten back to me without my prodding to let me know they are working on it, as the site must get back to them with a list of those who joined and are active members. I do hope I get the points asap. Time will tell. So CS in this particular instance really IS on top of the case and for me this is surely an exception to the rule for any site. Thank you Tellwut CS!

Just realize that this terrible site can turn on you in a second no matter how long you've been with them.
