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 Green4 points

I dunno. Every time I've signed up to a survey panel they have me fill out a basic profile with all sorts of personal information which they keep on-file in order to match users with the most relevant surveys, yet I still get DQ'd by half of them. It's been this way for as long as I can remember. But what I dislike more than surveys DQ'ing me is when a survey will ask you if you want to participate in an additional study and they ask for your name and email (and sometimes phone number), yet many times they don't contact you at all. So what was the point?3 points

Those are standard demographic questions. They can be tedious , but are necessary. It would be nice if the sites retained the info and passed it along , though.3 points

Paid Viewpoint is great! It takes a little while to get the Trust Score to 10000 , but it is worth it.3 points

Survey sites have all of the information about us. Yet we get survey upon survey fir which we don't qualify. I wasted an hour today being disqualified from 20 surveys on one site. Such a waste of time. Why do you suppose we get so many surveys for which we don’t qualify?2 points

95% of the time, yougov does not DQ me. I only get an average of two surveys a week though, and a lot of them are only worth 100, or 250 points, and so it takes me at least six months to cash out for a $50 Amazon GC. Their surveys are usually interesting though. There are a lot of political surveys. Fortright also does not DQ me usually.as long as I do the surveys right away, but their partner surveys usually DQ me, and I don't usually do those. Valued Opinions and Clear Voice often DQ me.2 points

So many problems with Pinecone. It's so sad when a site slips so much. Surveys don't work on tablets is common, Thanks for posting that. $5 per survey goes down to $3, Paypal is no longer offered. ( Months ago they said it would ne back but as far as i know it hasnt happened..) The latest problem for me is that I seem to no longer qualify for their surveys. I get an invitation and log in asap and I just don't qualify. I have $30 sitting there, was waiting for Paypal to come back but no such luck. Guess I've got to cash out for a gift card. Oh well. So disappointing2 points

Yeah, I have this happen too. Sometimes it just seems like you're just jumping through hoops. I don't let it got too far, better off closing the tab and staring some other survey. How many times do they have to ask my age, etc. within the same survey too? Recently this one particular survey started cheating me out of my reward points. I used to like to take it all the time because it was easy and didn't take too long. It would play some ads that were 15 sec to 30 sec long, about 6 of them. After each ad it asked some questions and I moved a slider. Well that last six times I did them I got cheated. So now when I see them offered I just close the tab and won't take them any more. I have learned that certain survey formats just jerk me around so that when I encounter them again I don't take them.2 points

And another thing: I am tired of all the idiotic, pointless & time wasting questions, such as ethnicity, that lead up to the main topic of the survey!!!!! It's like most questons in the survey have no bearing on the point of the survey!!!!!!2 points

I have come to the conclusion recently that survey writers are a pack of malicious idiots that want to make surveys as difficult and unpleasant as possible.1 point

I have the same problem there surveys very seldom work on my Tablet1 point

This seems to be a trend right now. They will withhold payments and allowing people to do surveys stating that they have found them to be deceitful.1 point

They are questioning your answers but they don't have to be right! If you feel that you are honest and open with your answers and you don't deserve this, DO contact customer service. You actually might get a response!1 point

I am so sick of this happening at multiple sites. When I finish a survey I don't get credit for it. It just goes on to another survey, ignoring the fact that I've just finished a survey. Of course I don't get credit for the initial survey, it's totally ignored. I no longer take the second survey, not trusting that I'll get credit for anything. I guess this is yet another ploy not to give us credit for completed surveys as what I described above is happening more and more as of late. I am so sick of taking surveys and not being given credit for my work. Has the above ever happened to you?1 point

Basically it means that Paypal will only report your survey income to the IRS if you make more than $5,000 in total Paypal income for next year (2024). It was supposed to be only a $600 threshold for THIS past year, but IRS is delaying that. But, technically you are still supposed to report every penny you make taking surveys each year, except for Gift Cards.1 point

It means you're lying about the answers you're giving to the surveys..they probably flagged your account because there are inconsistencies with the survey answers you give with them...1 point

Wow! That is REALLY disheartening and so unfair. So they'll take your money but that's it! You'd think there would be a way to reverse a bad or inaccurate decision on their part, apparently not. I would pursue the matter! jmho1 point

I've only left a handful of reviews on Amazon. I've noticed that on some controversial nonfiction books, a lot of people that did not purchase the book, wrote negative reviews about the book. Maybe they checked the book out of the library, but I doubt it. I just looked on Amazon, and I have just written two reviews there, and the last one was written in 2021 when I was paying for my purchases with Amazon GC.1 point

At least they didn't immediately disqualify you, or worse, immediately record your submission as invalid and tell the survey company you were "rushing"... it always drives me crazy when requesters have totally arbitrary metrics and think anyone who goes faster than that arbitrary metric is somehow not paying attention, rather than just reading fast + has seen basic demographic questions approximately a million times already... I've had to fight people on Prolific to un-reject work several times for that reason. (And it's specifically in Prolific's guidelines to not do that!)1 point

You are so right! Sorry they pulled a "Lifepoints" on you, At least they didn't wait until you had a large cash-out and refused to pay, saying you broke some rule and refused to explain. Either way, its just awful when a panel drops you. But as you inferred, you surely aren't missing much!1 point

I have been a member of Pinecone for many, many years, maybe 15 years or more, I have watched them slip to the point that I am on the verge of quitting and my most recent experience may have clinched it for me. I received an invitation to a survey, took, the entire survey. After I was 100% done I was told the survey was no long open so of course I didn't get the $3 for taking and completing the survey, even though I did. This morning I got a reminder to take the survey I already took and didn't get credit for. I logged in and there were no surveys available for me. Very sad when a good survey site disintegrates into nothingness.0 points

Do you remember the days when Pinecone asked "If we are willing to send you this product, would you try it?" I had so many paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, cookies..so much stuff! Those days are gone, Pinecone was known as "The King of surveys". No more. The surveys take forever to load and I get disqualified half he time and Sandy, that has happened to me a few times too. I actually bypassed an invitation last week, just didn't want to go through all that hassle again for nothing.0 points
