In Nov '10 I did a webcam survey and then a follow up on the computer and received $300

Pretty easy to use only issue is you can’t cash out points whenever you want.

You take the surveys, sometimes15-20 minutes long, then they say you qualify, a day later they call you, if you miss the call by one minute, and you call back, they have no idea who called you. So you are basically accepted for a study but then they tell you, no, you aren't! And sometimes you can do the survey 30 seconds after receiving it, they tell you its full! How can that be?? Unless someone is leaking out study information.

I don't know how many times I've done a survey and been told I qualify, they just need a little more information. When I take my valuable time to give that information I'm then abruptly sent to a "sorry, you did not qualify" screen. Why can't they ask all questions before getting you excited about a study, told you qualify, then basically say oh, never mind, you don't really qualify.
I'm on disability, I take care of my elderly mother. I do surveys and studies whenever possible to make ends meet. When you actually qualify and receive payment it pays well! But to get me excited, falsely saying I qualify then dashing that hope of a few extra bucks, the thought that just maybe mom can get all her meds with this, maybe we can afford to eat with this, oh but never mind. We don't care you just spent 20 minutes filling out the questionnaire specifically because we said you qualified before we really knew if you do or not. It's actually heartbreaking at times for people like us that can't make ends meet. It's cruel. Ask all questions before you put up that congratulations screen! This has happened too many times, it is just cruel.

Funny old place, this. Not because they are more of a panel-oriented outfit as opposed to straight surveys (of which the number you will likely receive are countable on your thumbs, and you probably will have a thumb spare). It's the almost comedic time and hassle just getting started with a project.

Like the project I was pre-invited to, offering a three figure sum to spend a month keeping a journal and do two hour and a half online chats.

So I complete the pre-survey screener, before Xmas.

After Xmas I get a pre-project phone call from a friendly, but slightly rushed sounding person doing a phone screener (which I qualified, yay!), and if I could pass the details on to anyone I know who might be interested - next day I get another call asking if I'd asked anyone, I presume they were needing to get the numbers up fast and nobody was qualifying - I know of at least one I invited who didn't qualify for a fairly benign reason.

So, now in 2017. I get another link for this project, finally!

I'm presented with an archaic looking webform with two yes/no participation buttons, and a broken, non-hyperlinked address to ANOTHER pre survey...

At this point, I checked out. Life's too short.

A few weeks later, I get invited to a pre-qualifying survey for movie project, that wants a fortnight of daily surveys plus a couple more, for a non-disclosed "incentive", and prize draws.

Prior experience has taught me to never do work up front without knowing what the pay is, and certainly not for draws.

So I click on it anyway, hoping more would be revealed in this pre-screener info.

Nope.

Sorry, but I don't pre-work for lucky dips and undisclosed "incentive". No chance.

The last page had a really obvious honesty checker that wants you to ignore the question and click on the "none of the above" button at the bottom... which is ironic as people who have had enough of a survey and aren't paying any attention would click that button instinctively, just to move it along.

Fortunately, I WAS paying attention, and made damn sure I pre-failed it :-D

Three stars for effort, not sure if that's mine or theirs though.

EDIT: Latest survey invite sent to me has currency in euros and cents and refers to chain stores that don't exist in the UK - NOW I remember why this lot are so poor! A few years back they invited me to a US paint panel, discussing a make that you can't even buy in the UK. Star docked now that reality has sunk back in about this place.

It's clear that Schlesinger Associates just fire off reviews to people regardless of geography or country specific panel they have signed up to - their New Jersey headquarters appear to think that Europe is a single landmass with one currency like the USA...

I wonder if their clients are aware of this?
