  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  7. I am only doing surveys for the Amazon GCs. Because I have the gift cards, I am able to buy stuff that I would not be able to afford otherwise. I had to replace my computer printer, and I got an Epson ecoprinter which was $250. I love it, but if I did not have the gift cards, I would not spend that much on a printer. I have had it for a year, and I have not had to replace the ink yet. With my old printer I was always replacing the ink. I also spent $500 on a stereo that I bought on Amazon with my gift cards.

  9. 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.

  10. 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?

  13. 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".

  14. 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.

  15. I've dealt well with picture captchas in the past, where you check off cars, fire hydrants or whatever to prove you are human. But as of late they have been impossible for me. The pictures are grainy, indistinct and more often than not they are very hard to see.. I've wasted as much as 10 minutes prior to being allowed to begin a survey. Sometimes they even switch me to a sound captcha where I write out what I hear. Very frustrating and a waste if time. This problem started out of the blue about a week ago. Anyone else experiencing this newest time-waster?

  16. After 7 years of doing surveys, I'm taking some time off from them. The dishonesty, babbling, repetition and insanity that pervades them finally overwhelmed me. It'll be at least several weeks before I start grappling with them again.

  17. JD Power surveys since you can't qualify for them 99% of the time, and in the rare times when you do, you typically get disqualified at some point in the survey. Also Datacollection based surveys for also being nearly impossible to qualify for, which is weird because 5 years ago they were highly reliable, but now they suck. I also hate pretty much any survey where you get asked an open-ended question that requires answering in sentences before you even qualify for the main survey...

  18. YES!!! I HATE the surveys that ask you to tell them what superpower you would have and why. I always just exit out. AND the credit card surveys that take an hour to do. I've got no patience for that.

  23. 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.

  24. 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?

  31. 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!

  33. I take alot of the ERL surveys on Tellwut & get dq'd more than anything but was thinking maybe Tellwut should offer up 5 points if you go to complete a survey & get dq'd for it..it's not much but it does take quite awhile to get to the 4000 point range & I've noticed a few other sites that I belong to have begun to give out 5 points if you don't qualify for a survey..Would you like to see Tellwut add this into their site?? Even if they cap it at say 100 points per week on dq'd external surveys at least it's something Green

  35. Quite normal. Surveys are dependent on how many responses the originator needs. Some require way less than others and simply fill up in a matter of a minutes. The only quibble I have at PV is with ones that you start and are near completion only to receive the message that the early birds got it. If you start a survey , that should qualify one to finish it.

  36. This has been happening to me a lot lately as well, with the early bird notification when you log in immediately after receiving an email notification. I log in 3 or 4 times a day and there are surveys waiting for me about 50% of the time. So I still have plenty of surveys to take and I love PaidViewpoint.

  42. I am really good at math, and I believe the answer is 5. There is a survey I did maybe six months ago that involved a lot of math. I was able to complete it, but even I was exhausted after completing it. Somebody else here that did the survey was overwhelmed because his math skills are not as good as mine. A lot of people would not know the answer, and yes it is algebra.

  47. I am just so sick of taking a survey and repeatedly getting : "The maximum number of responses for this group has been met." I always get that same response when I am just about finished taking the survey snd wasting my time. Think i got this canned response 5 times today. Anyone else?

  48. There used to be a survey site with something called "funnel" surveys. It was a never ending experience in survey hell where you get routed from one survey to another until you "qualify". I never trust the ones where it starts off with the main survey panel and then routes you into four or five different survey panels, only to not qualify after going through so many screening questions.

  49. After taking a close look and performing an audit of your account, we have found evidence that you have violated the LifePoints Terms and Conditions, which has resulted in your membership being deactivated and the LifePoints (LPs) you collected have been forfeited. What an "canned response" it's just a way to get rid of members & not have to pay out any rewards..I didn't violate anything other than taking part in some of the most pointless surveys on their site that seem to repeat over & over again...Anyone who's thinking of joining this survey company don't..as you can see they can do this do long term members for no given reason at all since they can't prove whatever they say I "violated"...anyone with alot of reward points I suggest cashing out now before you become the next "violation" of LifePoints

  50. One that gets on my nerves is, "If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" I've articulately answered this one countless times but never get qualified for a survey. I simply exit the survey whenever I see this asinine question.
