  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. 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 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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?

  10. I told them I would give them a Rave becsue they always get back to me when I have an issue like not getiing my points from completing a survey. I do not contact them each time it happens.

  11. As others have mentioned, I think this was a mistake and you were not supposed to see this. I've had similar messages within surveys, making no sense, am sure those are in error too.

  12. I figure it's there to cover them for everything short of the International Space Station falling on them and to screw us the survey taker. I tried reading it once and found it's a total screw job. No more reading for me, they're gonna do what they're gonna do....

  13. I've seen something like that a couple of times in the middle of a survey, but they weren't nearly as understandable as yours. I assumed it was shown by mistake.

  17. Has anybody here had any problems with Lifepoints today? I got an email about a survey. When I clicked it, I got my sign in page, and I clicked on that. I then got a three letter code I was supposed to enter. When I did that, it sent me to the log in page. I have been going around in circles trying to log in there today.

  18. Would have selected "2" since that is the same position in the alphabet as "B". Worst that could happen is a DQ.

  19. Thank you for your response. I was hoping that it was a language problem or Google translate did it wrong. Maybe the poster didn't understand that referrals are not permitted, as they probably don't speak English or their English is limited. Whatever it is, I hope my responses were not misunderstood by anyone. I was just trying to be welcoming to a newbie who had never been here before.

  20. I've seen plenty of surveys that had questions I couldn't answer, but none as stupid as the one you described. The ones I see usually desperately need a "none of the above" answer that they don't have. At any rate, I just quit them as well. You just know you're really not going to get anywhere and it's no use wasting time.

  23. I came across these two sets of trick questions in a survey tonight. Someone in the survey world has a sense of humor!

  24. It makes me crazy when you specifically indicate you don't shop at a store because they aren't where you live, just as you indicated. Then they ask you your birthday month and proceed to have you evaluate a store where you CAN'T shop even if you wanted to.

  25. Seen that one many times on MyPoints. Does not seem to matter what is entered. That "survey" seems to only act as a gateway to another survey. Also hate it when a survey asks what stores are local to you , but then proceeds to have you evaluate a store whose closest store is over 1000 miles away.

  26. I hate the survey that asks you when you last shopped at certain stores. Some I've never heard of and most of the rest of them don't even have stores in my state. One of them I know is out of business. So most of the answers I give go in the "never" box. Then they ask how much I spent in one of the stores I've never been to in the last month.

  27. I just joined a new site, and one of the questions on my very first survey was the superpower one. So I put the power to finish every survey I take and never be disqualified. Hey, they accepted that.

  29. YUP! Far too familiar. I just back out of those. Particularly hate it when it is supposed to be a ten minute survey and you are still doing qualifying questions after ten minutes. BYE BYE!!

  30. How about picking a seven-minute survey, only to be told when you finally get to the survey that it will take 20 minutes? I get that stuff all the time.

  31. I'm glad you did. People are always quick to complain, but it's really rare for someone to express some appreciation for something good, especially online.

  32. I don't read them either but I look for the general idea of the study...if I see I have to talk with another person or play a game, I opt out. Sometimes that's in the mile long blurb. I always wondered if other people read this stuff...WAY too long!

  33. Not sure if we're thinking about the same survey, but there's this one pre-survey that I get occasionally that lists like 15 stores and asks if you've shopped at any of them in the past month, and at least several of the stores are ones that I've never heard of or don't believe actually exist anymore. From my experience that survey is basically one big trick question because it also asks a few other questions that are clearly meant to detect bots or people who aren't paying attention.

  34. I tried it out and didn't care for it. Their surveys are very low paying and it seemed like it would take forever to get to the $10 cashout threshold.

  35. Sounds all too familiar. I don't bother continuing when the video doesn't play properly. It's the end of that one for me and on to the next survey.

  36. I thought it was just me.. Dumped them awhile back. I call that site the 'survey go round site'.. after 20 minutes going from survey to survey that you don't qualify for, you've wasted your time with 0 points

  37. Hoping that will be the case. Never worried but I still believe it is best to leave well enough alone.

  38. 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

  40. I love Paidviewpoint..always get credited points for my surveys..never have to contact customer service & when cashing out for Amazon it's "Instant"...my favorite survey company hands down as to cashing out & getting surveys that are actually interesting to do

  41. Data entry is dead as it's so simple any AI or they can pay someone in a developing country $1/hour to crank it out. Any data entry jobs nowadays are in HIGH demand and usually go to whoever will do it cheapest. So you'd be competing with people from the Philippines working for pennies if you actually found one of the non-scam jobs. Any job promising anything close to a living wage will be a scam. Especially if they want to send you a check or you to buy equipment. I see people on Reddit get scammed daily by these data entry job scams. Mturk is only profitable with surveys and closed qual HITs, which are like winning the lottery to get. There is also a steep learning curve, as you have to install several scripts and learn the routine. People used to make a living on there, but nowadays it's barren for the most part. I have been on the platform for about 10 years now, and have seen all the data entry HITs that paid anything reasonable disappear as AI got better and the platform got even more saturated. There are lots of paid opportunities online, but they will all require brainwork as AI can do these simple, easy tasks now. Lots of jobs online to help train AI. Automation will take those jobs too at some point. Automation is happening and will take over a lot of industries. I've been working online 10 years and the struggle is to continue learning and adapting to survive.

  43. This is my favorite survey site. They have so many more surveys available than others I've been on. Some days I barely get one so I can keep my streak going, but other days I rack up a bunch. I do get better results there than on other sites, even though I'm hardly the right person to qualify for surveys. I'm too old, my car's too old, I'm retired, I don't have kids, I don't buy plant milk, yogurt, fashion jeans, or go to movies, I never heard of most of the stores they ask about. In short, it's a wonder I get to finish any surveys, but Prime Opinion has earned me quite a nice haul. Just be patient. One tip that might be helpful: go to the Short Surveys tab. They are sorted by length. I stick to those so I don't get DQ'd after spending half an hour on a survey. Leave the site up and check once in a while. New surveys keep popping up every few minutes and you'll see some that are something like 96 points for 8 minutes.

  44. I was just on Lifepoints. They sent me three surveys, but all three of them were closed. They did give me three points though.

  45. I just finished one with several questions about which product name conveys a certain thought. Each sentence had at least 7 or 8 words with no spaces in between words. Obviously, nobody actually tried the survey once they finished programming it. That's the most blantant mistake I think I've seen in surveys.
