  1. Lately I've come across SEVERAL surveys that can not be answered, especially Life Points & Prime Opinion. For example: 1) Which school I'm currently attending. Although I have several college degrees, I have not been in school in over 25 years & they are omitting the "None" option. 2) My current employment & omitting the "Retired" or "I don't work" option. I thought about doing something that I have NEVER done on a survey: lying (I didn't want to be penalized for quitting mid-survey). In over the 20+ years I've been doing surveys, I've never come across this before. Now, I get several a day. How are others handling this?

  2. In a survey put up by selfserve.decipherinc.com, the faces of several hundred people were shown. Based on that fact, the taker of the survey was then supposed to figure out what vitamin would anybody swallow down, on the basis of appearance & facial expression!!!!!!! About 15 well known brands of vitamins were mentioned.. I'll just let that speak for itself.

  4. I actually got banned by a survey company with withheld funds of £30 then reinstated after I screenshotted everything and threatened action fraud. Action Fraud can actually investigate survey companies on our behalf for free in uk because they are taking personal information off you and not paying out fairly which is fraud by them collecting personal data street area code etc on a promise to unfairly withhold their end of the agreement unfairly. I also knew I had good grounds as they contradicted themselves, first was an email saying there were issues with my paypal, then it was I used bad language in a survey apparently, then it was I rushed survey, then it changed to I didn't give true answers, followed by my account details we're false. I mean which one was they going with pathetic haha. Anyway my advice is screen shot everything during surveys if you been cheated at the end of a survey or by any contact they make by emails as they may well of slipped up so once I kept questioning why my account were cancelled their responses changed everytime. I did get my £30 they tried to steal with an admission it was their error and account re-opened and have had another £15 payout since. Here is their response below I have blanked out who it we're as I don't want to get in trouble for sharing too much sensitive info or survey names for sharing their company in this way haha

  5. A lot of surveys start off with nonsense such as that shown below. Who really takes the time to read garbage like that!!!!?????

  7. I have noticed in the past 2 or 3 months that many surveys are closed immediately, having reached their quota.. There seem to be far less available surveys. After completing many surveys, I am repeatedly told that i don't qualify or the survey is full. Again, this is happening more and more frequently now than ever before. Has anyone noticed this as well? Are many more people taking surveys so that there are less available surveys? What's your take if you've noticed this?

  9. Not yet, but if I do, I have a few "colorful metaphors" I'll use in an email for them! You are correct in not liking that: I give NO excuse for uncivilized behavior & we are making THEM money--they would not be in business w/o us!

  10. I took a survey this past weekend, completed it in full and at the end of the survey i was told i didn't qualify. I wrote to CS and was told that I took the survey in less time than was indicated, thus no credit So these survey companies don't only lure you in by stating a small number of minutes to complete a MUCH longer survey, they also state a longer time that is actually needed. That way they can say you didn't spend enough time on their survey, therefore they don't have to pay you. ANYTHING to keep from paying us! Sigh!

  13. Seen similar ones on Lifepoints where 6 groups of people are shown and you need to figure out what product they would choose plus why. Crazy!

  14. Yesterday I was finally able to cash out and chose the 15 dollar Amazon ecard. Notification email said it would take 2 hours to receive the reward and to also check SPAM if not received.. Still not received so went to the Help section on their site and it said reward is received 3-4 working days.. well, which is it? I have only had an issue with them once. Otherwise, the payment comes through within minutes. So I have written them and await a response..

  16. This happens day in and day out. I get a survery invitation for which I am suposedly qualified. I click on it and before I even answer one question I am told that I don't qualify. I just don't understand. Does this happen to you? Any idea WHY this happens? It's aggravating at best.

  17. Pinecone. I contacted them about a year ago because I was doing a survey, and all of a sudden I was being told that I didn't qualify. I saw nothing saying that they were doing a screener. It's just gone downhill the pat few years. I'm sure I got a canned response to my inquiry, but still, if you tell me it's a survey, then it's a survey.

  19. I disqualify WAY more than I qualify. At least it's better to get kicked out right away than to go through a bunch of screeners that are almost the length of a survey and then be DQ'd!

  21. This is ridiculous. I was all set to cash out at $10 and they want me to upload Photo ID to cash out! This is NOT OK. I don't know who is getting access to this sensitive info! I just sent them an email to request payment that they OWE me. I doubt they will comply. I am livid! Why didn't they tell me this before??? Screw Branded Surveys!!

  22. Well, I've only made a measly $14 with Top Surveys since February of this year, and now my account is all of a sudden "on hold" after my last paltry cashout of a $1 Amazon gift card. It's that same old rubbish about not providing quality survey answers. I've been doing surveys for almost 10 years. How could I be a panelist this long if all I entered was incoherent jibberish? Just irks me!

  26. Maybe I am being naive or trusting or stupid here. We fill out these huge pages of info about ourselves in order to get matches to surveys. Then we are sent an invitation supposedly based on this information that is a match. We click on it and are IMMEDIATELY told it's not a match. Why does this happen? Because survey companies lie and don't give a darn?
