Sandy21 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 This AM I received the following email from Branded. It is referring to a low point survey I took in early January. ( Last rejection I got was months ago for a high point survey) Is the following threatening email something new? I've never gotten one of these before and there's nothing amiss when I log in and no threat there, only the below email. I am far from happy with this threat. But it did remind me in no uncertain terms to cash out asap since they STRONGLY indicate that they close accounts due to rejections, no matter how infrequently. IMPORTANT: POSSIBLE.

dawn_b_adams Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. You're absolutely right. They are threatening you. Based on many reviews I've read on this site regarding Branded, they are notorious for doing this and have several bad reviews. I find their email quite insulting. Any survey site that sends me that hot garbage will have a complaint filed, and put on blast on social media. Nobody should have to put up with that crap. I'd copy and paste that to BBB and file a complaint. Their email is disgusting and unprofessional. It appears that you have a lot of company. There are slews of complaints against Branded. I feel they shouldn't be allowed to be in business at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a member for many many years and they seemed to go totally downhill when they took over Mintvine. Yes this is definitely a threat and I am quite angry about about it. I will file a complaint with the BBB. I may even quit.... Just wondering if this nasty and threatening email is something new or have others gotten this as well? Thanks for your reply. (Bet you are not a member!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schludermann Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I got that notice for not doing surveys. I just did the five daily points and the TV survey, and branded didn't like that either. A couple of times that they made me write an essay about something, I instead told them what I thought about branded and substantiated it. I still got dinged for some reason. you can also leave reviews at trustpilot and sitejabber. I always forwarded the reviews I made to branded support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njsurveyman Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 I DQ 100% of the time on Branded Surveys, and never start a survey more than 5 min long. I basically only do the daily polls. Ever since they switched names from Mintvine, they have become a garbage website. Very few excellent survey sites left these days. But with the new Biden $600 Paypal tax limit, I am not bothering with surveys as much as I once did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
