Mysurvey.ca & Amazon gift certs

[greeneyeddevils]

Just a heads up here for anyone trying to redeem a gift cert from mysurvey.ca...

I've had an order in for a month & half for a gift cert for Amazon from this company...It's an online gift cert...they're not mailing anything to me....I contacted the company & they actually answered my call...then gave me the answer that I didn't want to hear...I asked why it's taking forever for them to give me my online cert & they stated that they actually have to buy the certs from Amazon & that they're backlogged & it'll take more time...WTF?...What I heard is we don't have any money to pay you so we're going to take our sweet ass time & give you what you've earned when we feel like it...That's my biggest beef...If you're offering up Amazon Gift Certs with your company...as soon as you redeem you should get a code for your gift cert just like they do at Opinion Outpost...I've never had a problem ever with that company...but this one gives you every excuse in the book...anyone else trying to get a cert from them??

My survey has become a LOT stingier these days. They used to give 1000 points for some surveys, like the ones with diaries. Now, you're lucky to get 50-75 pts per. I recently took a survey for 200 points, and wasn't credited right away. I emailed and asked why they didn't credit it, their response was 'some surveys don't credit right away'. In all the yrs I've been a memeber w/ them, that's the first time that has happened. I think they're having $$ trouble.

All of a sudden, I keep experiencing trouble loging on and have now given up on them and have lost what ever points were aquired. Pretty sucky (not a great term but, I like it).
