elsielc Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 in the last few months i've started surveys that eventually say 'you are now going to participate in a REAL auction'. you really do make bids and you HAVE to buy the product you bid on. you can opt out, but you have wasted your time taking the survey in the first place, only to be roped into buying something. this is not what is supposed to happen in these surveys.

ConnecticutMarc Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Merely more of the dishonesty, insanity, and doubletalking that surveys have fallen down into now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neminem Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 That's wacky. Every once in a while I've seen surveys that say "you have $x, you can participate in this auction or not, either you'll get $x, or x minus what you spent and an item if you win". I never care at all about the supposed item, so I just say I'm not interested. I've never seen a survey that required that I use my own money to bid, nor one that screens you out if you don't bid. That's insane. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episemion Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 They used to be around several years ago. Wasn't aware that they still were a thing. Would never participate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFriday Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have never had to deal with auctions while I am doing surveys. Right now I am mostly doing Clear Voice, LifePoints, Fortright, and YouGov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
