I've emailed 3 times. No response and no points. Sigh.

I emailed again. That makes 5 or 6 times. I'm so sick and tired of having to contact these sites over and over again. We do surveys YOU pay for compleated surveys. :roll:

Do you have a twitter account? I noticed Synovate operates a twitter account and it's pretty active. Maybe you could get in touch with them there? They should answer their emails but if they're not maybe they'll answer on twitter.

Yes I tweeted them and they got back to me for my email address. I don't understand, they have my email address to send surveys. Now I am up to 7-8 times typing to them. Again I'm so sick and tired of having to complain to receive payment. :cry:

I have use Synoavte in the past and never had any problems with them in crediting for a survey. I did not take this 4 day survey that you all are having trouble with and glad I did not since readying all the problems. When ever I have had problems with survey company's in the past, after about the 3rd email, I just finally report them to the BBB and ripoffreport.com. Then once I report them to both company's I email them back politely explaining what I have done. I also mention that I made a post here about the troubles with their company. A lot of times they will resolve the problem after that. But sometimes they don't. But about 8 times out of 10 you can get it resolved reporting them. So don't waste your time with multiply emails, especially after about the 3rd one. Just report them and more than likely you will get it solved that way!

I hope you all get the $70 that your entitled to, that is a lot of money and valuable time of yours spent!

I take back anything negative I said about Synovate, they credited my account with 75000 points . They have restored my faith in the survey industry!

Did you do all 4 day's or just 2 and still got the 75,000 points??? :roll:

I did particpated in 2 days of the study and the closed after 2 days.But never received credit for it.

After sending 4 emails and no response from them I finally filed an complaint with the bbb.org,I hope this can get resolved as I see that they have done this to quite a few people and it is not right for them to invite everyone to day the study and all of a sudden have technical difficulites.Everyone participating in the study should be compensated for keeping track of all there meals,snacks and drinks at what time of day ect.I'm sure that Syvonate is still being paid for the study.

I hate to hear this about Synovate. They have always been cheap but honest, as far as I know. If the current trend continues there won't be any survey companies left. There is very few good ones left now. I just don't understand because this is a multi-billion dollar a year business and relatively few companies compared to the dollars involved.

[email protected] how long have you been a member? I've been a member for 7 yrs. maybe this has something to do with it. Good luck with your complaint to BBB.

Since 2005,I've never had any problems with them until this study.Just want them to do right about it.

I finally got 7,000 points for the 2 days I did it but I should have gotten more because I keep the record of what I ate/drank on the 3rd day.Not my fault I couldn't log in :roll:
