Sandy21 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I received an email today from Tellwut promising me 600 points for a survey. Somehow the survey wasn't already closed. It usually is 99% of the time even if I immediately try taking the survey as soon as the email arrives. I spent a half hour taking the survey. It was supposed to take 20 minutes but as we all know this happens far too often. After finally completing the survey I was thanked for taking it and given 75 points, not 600. After a half hours waste of time I was really angry so I wrote to Tellwut, CS, which I usually don't do.anymore.. I included a copy of the email invitation and what the survey was about. explaining my problem. I am hoping this time they give me the 525 points I earned. It often happens that I am under-compensated for a survey, but usually by 25 to 50 points. That is a scam but part of the game. But 525 points is ridiculous. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episemion Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Not for that much of a variance , but have had cases where the points received were less (75 vs. 100) as well as where they were slightly higher. Not exactly the same , but have had surveys (J D Power especially) that gave a DQ upon completion and i grabbed a screen shot of the "completed" message. Emailed the site with the image and have always gotten credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy21 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I am not happy. I got an email from Tellwut this AM, "sorry for the inconvenience, etc" and instead of the 525 points, they only gave me 75 points. I am still shorted 450 points. Why do we have to fight for everything? Guess I'll have to email yet again. What a waste of time.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommabear Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 After spending a considerable amount of time on a survey just yesterday, being told I would receive 1 dollar for each photo of skincare I posted that I use, I was only given the initial proposed pay out from the survey. Guess I should be grateful for that.. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sue123 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 yes, I've had Telwut short me a considerable amount of points on several occasions. They made it right once and the other time it was just ignored. If they do that only a few times a day, their compensation would reflect more for them and less for us survey takers. We have to fight for everything we have coming b/c if companies can cheat us, my experience has been that they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do try to chase down points whenever I think it's worth it. Tonight I took a Tellwut survey for 100 points plus the bonus 50, was thanked for completing the survey. I took a screenshot of it as I usually do. But when I was taken back to Tellwut I got the message that happens far too often nowadays. that the survey is full, they reached their maximum number or whatnot. I KNOW I should have contacted CS but I just didn't feel like the constant back and forth. I am just so tired of it and I KNOW these sites depend on us giving up and accepting nonpayment. I'm guilty of falling into their trap. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
