schludermann Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I've been getting more and more of these. I abort the router when these show up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samp28 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 This was always going to happen and doesn't surprise me. Cint are likely skint. Last year they terminated thousands of members accounts claiming they had breached the terms and conditions. It seems it was likely they were having a bit of a financial problem and so terminating all those accounts would mean tens of thousands of pounds owed to members could be written off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn_b_adams Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Yeah, when I see a Cint one, I bail. Not touching those with a 10 foot pole. I have my own nasty little nickname I give to Cint when I see their surveys. I cannot say the name on here though. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosiesmom Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I belong to them and I don't think I have ever cashed out, even after a few years. I have stopped doing them. I don't even know how much I have with them, but it isn't enough to cash out. I think I checked a year ago and it was still under $10. To see that they are offering nothing doesn't surprise me at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the motivation runs even deeper than creating a write-off. I think it is actually a way to boost profits by never having to pay the members for services rendered. Meaning that Cint was paid by their clients and Cint never had to fork over the rewards due members because they had accused in breach of TOS and forfeit accumulated rewards. The reason I assert this is that Cint is a router and the actual surveys are done on the client pages, the URL always is different from anything controlled by Cint. Mening the Client paid Cint and Cint was supposed to pay a portion to the panelist but instead kept the money for themselves... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunastargazer Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 When I see a survey from one of my sites I use and it has the word Cint on it, I click on the link that states I do not wish to be matched up at this time. I won't touch those surveys with a 10 foot pole either. I also avoid Peanut Labs, Ipsos, and a few others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, I actually successfully completed two recent surveys from Peanut Labs. I about fell off my chair, was so shocked. Probably a fluke though.

lunastargazer Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I'd fall off my chair too if I ever qualified for a Peanut Labs survey. When I see them pop up on a Survey company I'm on at the time, I just exit the browser and come back another time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I am getting record numbers (for me) from Crowdology, which was part of Cint. Not sure if they still are, but I still can't qualify, so thats good enough for me to pass them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episemion Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 My issues with Cint surveys are that they are nearly always router based and that they often end after completion with some sort of error message. At least LifePoints does audit surveys and you do get the points. Not sure on Crowdology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
