Today. Received good amount of credit ..noticed when I logged on to the site. Resolved

I've had a goodly number of surveys the last week or so and cashed out again yesterday.

Often they will tell you at the beginning 'this survey will take 10 minutes ' then they get you on what I call the 'survey go round' as you don't qualify after 10 minutes and then it's on to the next and the next..without a penny

I got that question this morning too.. of course I was kicked off. If I had the money to spend 1000 dollars on a handbag, I wouldn't need to do these nonsensical surveys and they are becoming more non nonsensical and redundant by the day. They can't think of anything new.

I also aim for at least $10. Last cash was for $17 and some change.

Ditto. Cashed out less than a week ago and am 2/3 along to the next.

I have gotten that many times.. in fact, yesterday after completing a long survey it did what you described to me and I didn't get any credit. I contacted them.. Have not heard back and they are usually very quick about it- Have to say, now making the site over has caused problems we haven't experienced before..If If it don't work, fix it

I just got an email about a survey on paid viewpoint that I think I already completed, but then it told me that I had two surveys to do, but neither one of them would come up. I think they have some kinks to work out on the new website.

A friend told me about this site a few months ago- I looked it up and it is not listed as one I can do a review on but if I could, I would give it the maximum stars and then some The sight is Verasight. They don't have alot of surveys but will email you if they do and also they may have some on the site. Payout is at 10.00 Good example: today I took a survey and wasn't sure if I got credit for it or not but just ignored it. A few hours later I received an email from them saying they noticed I didn't get the 5 cent credit for not qualifying so they rewarded me 2000 points ( equal to 2 dollars) and thanked me for my patience. Now that's honesty

Has anyone gotten a survey from Focus Forward on weight loss, maybe 2 like I did, proceed to answer 20 plus minutes of questions to be told at the end that the required number of responses have already been reached? What a bunch of deceitful miners! How likely is Focus Forward to delete my data since it wasn't needed? Of course not. These snakes have a way of mining our time and data and then refusing to pay and they know we have no way of knowing if their denial is valid or not. I used to have respect for Focus Forward but no longer. I bet they only needed a small number of people's answers but let countless users go ahead and respond. If you don't know or use this group, don't bother.

I get it alot especially on one site.. and it's even before I have responded to a question..

I have seen one survey company (can't remember which one) who warms before you start that if they reach the required number of respondents before you finish, you won't get credit, but for the most part, I think it's a way to get info without ponying up the rewards. If it makes you feel any better, this seems to happen far less often than it did when I took surveys 15 years ago. I'd finish one in 20, maybe, and always get kicked off at the end. It's why I quit taking them back then.

Haven't had it at the end , but have seen it at the start a number of times.

Several times.. it's like saying 'have a nice day' or how are you?' Polite sons of ..

Last night the server was down. But only when I logged in. If my wife logged on my phone it was ok. Now I cannot even get on the app. Show error from start.

This is a place to post ridiculous questions (or at least what you think are ridiculous). I just got one about which of the following things are you likely to buy within the next 12 months. I checked "handbag" because mine is denim and it's getting ragged. The next question was How much do you plan to spend on it? Under $1,000? Over $1,000? Huh? For a purse? (You can tell I don't care if somebody's name or initials are on it.) I try to spend less than $10 for mine, so I checked Under $1,000. Got kicked off. So what questions have given you a chuckle or had you shaking your head lately?

$5 or so.

i have been coming across more and more surveys that ask for your full name, address and phone number when you start the survey. and it is not for those that are sending you a product to test, just the start of a normal survey. i close out of those now when i see them. YouGov asks for that same information at the end of a survey which means you have spent time on that survey and then you have to give them all that info to continue. it's bad enough they can track me by my IP address but now want my home address????

Sometimes they'll say they want it to verify me. I think sometimes it's to make sure bots aren't doing the survey and I'm a real person. Sometimes it had something to do with voting I think? But either way I don't like putting it in. Yeah definitely don't give your phone number out though. Bad idea imo.

Posted Saturday at 03:09 PM Allow a bit more time as it is a weekend. The ticket may not have been seen yet. It is now Tuesday.. no response from Paid Viewpoint.. I think I will contact them again. I know that my request went through the last time because the ticket shows

I've said that since day one!! So agree!

I had a few

Everytime you change a platform problems come. I am the person who believes almost all old stuff is way better. If it works, leave it Alone.

I've had a couple in the last 36 hours.

Sounds like they are aware of the issues and are working on it.

I googled this topic and this forum came up. I have done multiple surveys through Branded Surveys and only after completing it do they tell you it’s full. So they’ve just got all this data for free which is a d**k move by them.

Then I won't feel slighted that they don't want me!

Springboard is now Unlock - they do have a $ 25 threshold. You can do Paypal or get a gift card. Now instead of sending 1 survey to qualify they have the never ending wheel of surveys you try to qualify for . Hate that - I just cashed out for the $25 Paypal and have 1535 points in my account I'm afraid I'll never be able to cash out because I never qualify for any of their surveys ever again.

Last time I got one it kept spinning till I qualified - kinda like Unlock which use to be Springboard. I believe most of these sites are hanging on by a thread.

Attitude

Positive

Same here. The one time I opted to do one , it was for a 30 minute sitcom , so I figured it was worth a try. One of the worst sitcoms ever! Not a single laugh , except for the laugh track! Later , when I checked the ratings on IMDB , it was something like 3 or 4 out of 10. It lasted about 6 episodes before being taken off the air.

I have not seen any in awhile, but I remember the shows were bad.

Leave support a ticket with the details when such a thing happens. They are still working out a few kinks.

Fairytale

That's when I Move on I seldom do that Run Around seems like you can spend a long time and never qualify

I know - that aspect is weird.

i get that too. usually on a blue screen with graphic of a globe...

I hate that " suspected violation"! How in the world can you violate something you haven't even started? And why are you invited if you already took the survey?

I see that or similar periodically. Annoying , but I can live with it.

This " required number of respondents has already been reached" happens far too often on so many sites. It's so very frustrating as we've spent so much time and effort and then we get no credit. Happens more and more lately.

More grifters, con men & scam artists.

Evil

I've done all that several times. Doesn't fix whatever the problem is.

I've seen some posts on r/beermoney about this too, so you're not alone. It sounds like you've tried all the usual troubleshooting steps without luck. Customer service's response seems off, especially if you've always been in the US.

That is a good reward.

Even worse than that what's been happening to me is I will start a survey (you can tell they're doing the eligibility questions initially) then the survey window will say that I'm eligible and that they will begin the survey, and then some 30- 35 minutes later, it says the survey has been completed and I'm to hit the continue button to return to the dashboard or whatever, BUT when I do there immediately follows a pop-up window THIS SURVEY IS FULL. The idea that a survey company would not know at the outset that their survey is full and would drag somebody along through the entire process (not just the qualifying questions, I'm in the entire fucking survey) even tell them specifically that they met the qualifications and we're now going to complete the entire survey, that a survey company would do that and then dump you after you've completed it, sometimes a half an hour or more later with nothing but maybe two points, that's unconscionable and I think that's unethical. I contacted Branded about it but they didn't you know get back to me. Big surprise

I find that a LOT of survey companies leave "full" surveys on their site for quite awhile. Cynical me reasons that they will get a lot of us to take the entire survey. Then they can use our answers without paying us since "survey full" pops up only after completion. At least Branded tells us immediately, although in the past I have fully completed surveys for them and THEN get the "survey full" pop up.

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