not paying for work completed

January 11, 2021 by Victoria from United States

Completed 2 surveys in Oct 2020- it is now Jan 2021 and i still have not been paid. i am well beyond their 6-8 week payment window. i have contacted customer support numerous times- they keep resending my cards to the wrong address, despite numerous updates. they have done it so much that Bank Of America has refused to issues additional cards. so i guess there is no way for me to get paid.
beware when dealing with this company.

UPDATE 1/9/2021: you have provided a generic email that i have used over 20 times in the last 3 months in an attempt to get paid. provide a direct email or phone number for contact. this is the response of one your coworkers: "We have contacted Bank of America. They have stated that your money is available but they are not able to reissued your card due to too many reissued request already placed for this payment. Bank of America has declined all of our request to assist in reissuing this card. We are unable to issue a replacement card."

For mentions of phone surveys

June 15, 2020 by Fred from United Kingdom

The theory is: fill a questionnaire about a medical condition, and, provided you qualify, you are invited to a remunerated and interesting survey, on the phone or others.
The practice is: fill long routine questionnaires for free, get told you qualify, and never see the rest of it.
The anticipation is: fill a review on the present site, and receive the standard email 'I am sorry [...], contact [...], and probably being served some PR to tell why the complainants are wrong.

If this company wanted to conduct serious research, it would set up real reviews with, towards the end, the question for respondents within the target group such as 'Would you be ok to be contacted for further research on the phone?'. With the present routine practice, they set up reviews that are filled for free by respondents lured into more interesting research that does not come up. I thought medical research needed to be performed with a high sense of ethics.,,

Not reliable

April 26, 2019 by Ilyssa from United States

I get An email from them once a week. I immediately Fill out the survey and never ever get called to participate. I’m tired of wasting my time filling these out. It’s literally been years. I also Called to ask if i can Have a credit re established because I had found a card they paid me from 2 years ago where I was paid and it expired which is ridiculous in itself and they never returned my call. The woman said sometimes the surveys fill up fast, sorry after two years hundreds of surveys don’t fill up in 30 seconds.

Absolutely terrible to deal with

November 8, 2018 by Nonna from United States

This company is so disorganized that dealing with them is a nightmare. Their scheduling is chaotic and their payment system is the worst of any survey/research company I ever dealt with. You will be given a runaround by their multiple departments, neither one of which will have a definitive answer for you as to why you haven’t received the agreed payment months after you completed the study.
