Jayson_X Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I've been with this panel since 2014 and I have to say today was the day that I'm finally done with this scummy site. After leading me to yet another survey that was on it's final classification section that I couldn't finish due to "site" errors i'm done with it. This isn't the first time this has happened, but lately it been happening every week with them. I'm pretty sure they still get the money doing the whole error thing, but I wouldn't see a cent of it. Not to mention all the other BS this site does from paypal fees that no other survey group has to a maximum withdraw of only $15. Any cash that gets left over is for the next withdraw which is a minimum of $10. This group lies about estimated time of completion of it's survey as well. The worst is the adjustments that this site randomly gives you. It's takes away cash you earned without an explanation as of why.This group does about everything a survey panel shouldn't do. For shame on them and I hope others don't waste their time with this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson_X Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Why would they take your money? That doesn't seem right at all. I don't know. They never gave me a reason for their adjustments. I know I got ripped off from them time and time again however. Today was the ending point for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was the ending point for me. Toluna use to do that, I'm not sure they still do. It seem for Toluna it was written in the fine print that nobody reads saying you were allowed to keep so much money at there site and when you went over they would deduct so much. I now make it a point to cash out often so I don't lose money again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is usually accompanied by me ranting and walking around the house, then hitting the unsubscribe button. Yes, I unsubscribed from the site as soon as it put me in another dead end survey. I'll glad i'm done with the site. Toluna use to do that, I'm not sure they still do.

I think survey panels should be monitored by someone or something. There are way too many swindling sites out there nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkoda Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I usually save the site to my desktop wait a few days than try and complete surveys, every time I sign in, it is the wrong password They gave me that password. Now, I emailed them and said........yep, they know what was said I want you to keep a password that I use, Sure no problem. Hope to God they will not, I repeat not say wrong password If they do bye, bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samp28 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 What you mention makes you sound like you are quite new to surveys."This group lies about estimated time of completion of it's survey as well" - MOST lie about completion times. From experience though, many just list the average time it takes. Some like Swagbucks mostly seem to have incorrect times because their surveys redirect from 1 survey platform to another. It was only the other day I saw 1 survey, 2 minutes for 22SB. By time it redirected from the first platform to the second, it landed me at a survey which said it would take 30 minutes to complete (11 pence for 30 minutes... No thank you)."The worst is the adjustments that this site randomly gives you" - I only ever had 1 negative adjustment on Cint panels. This was because I didn't qualify for a survey but it still credited me and a few days later they took the amount credited back. I found that to be fair enough as I didn't qualify, so why should I be paid for landing at a quota filled page?"This group does about everything a survey panel shouldn't do" - Why? It's hosted by Cint who are not to everyone's liking but it's the same across the whole selection of Cint hosted survey websites on the internet.Cint have always (well for as long as I can remember) charged a 2% paypal fee. That's nothing though (Recently I cashed out £5.84 from a Cint panel and £5.72 hit my PayPal account... 12p fee). Other panels do similar things. Lets take Valued Opinions, it costs £15.50 for a £15 Amazon voucher. Which is worse IMO because they are likely to get some sort of discount bulk buying Amazon vouchers."Any cash that gets left over is for the next withdraw" - Yes on Cint. However it can be different depending on which Cint hosted survey website is used. For example, Quest Mindshare is £8 min cashout with £8 being the only amount and maximum amount you can cashout in 1 go. Whereas Crowdology is £4 min cashout, but they allow you to cashout up to something like £6.The only thing that has really changed with Cint hosted panels is they used to pay PayPal instantly, now it takes around a week for them to process your payment.I would say that Cint panels tend to be give some fair earnings with their surveys. Normally its a few minutes for up to £1 and anything over 10/15 minutes tends to always be well over £1. It's just a shame I don't get as many Cint hosted surveys as I would like.

rainidyster Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've been having similar problems with a few of the Cint websites I'm a member of. They have been making adjustments and taking away money from my account without any reason. I take surveys from other companies, but never had this problem before. I don't want to continue taking surveys from them if this shady practice continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I get several surveys from Quest each week. Never qualify for them. I think I need a few more to cash out, but I don't think I will make it. I might want to walk away from Quest. Cint, OMG! It took me years to get to $25.
