I had heard of it as well. Just does not seem right to drop you without letting you know or any sort of thank you / apology. They never did that nor provide any reason. The only thing I can think of is that there have been no surveys that I qualified for in several months , thus looking inactive. But , when the screener questions for months now have all been on smoking or drinking (I do neither) , there was no way to qualify. Pinecone didn't used to have such questions in their Household Questions until recently (last year or so) , so something there has changed.

Pinecone.jpg"> My profile button is located right after where the points are,so this is what it looks like after you log on?Not sure why yours is different.The only problem(well I shouldn't say problem) I'm having is that I haven't received a notification that I received my points.However when I log on they are in there.Maybe new hires that don't know what they are doing.But have you notified them that your profile button is missing?Or maybe try a google chrome or another browser see if that helps. Sorry just read where they booted you out.I never really heard of that happening before .Ya you would have thought they would at least let you know.

episemion Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 It isn't right , but that's the way they have ended up. Until recently , you would receive an actual typed reply to an inquiry. When I was having surgery and would be unable to be online for at least a week , I let Karen Scott know. Got a reply mentioning the surgery and wishes for a speedy recovery. Even got a follow-up asking how I was doing. These days , all you get is a boilerplate reply. The CS has taken on the quality of the company they took over (Harris). What I find interesting is that the account is remaining accessible even though no surveys will be forthcoming. Weird!

footfree Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 P.s.

I think there is something on there site that they can get rid of you whenever they want (not those words Exactly) but I still thinks that stinks when you have done nothing wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they seem to get rid of people I think if you go to the BBB you will be as good as gone I would try contacting them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
