Customer support ignoring support not been paid when cashed out PayPal

June 27, 2021 by Jeffery from United States

This survey company used to be legit but as of late customer support has not answered my request. I have 3 paypal payments that have been in process for longer than a week also completed another diary for a 75 dollar ecard and have not received payment.

Arbitrary Shut Down of Account and Taking Points

June 16, 2021 by Joye from United States

I had a fairly long relationship with Ipsos and took a number of surveys but I always redeemed my points every time I reached $5.00 because of the reviews about them. This went fine for a while and they always told me what a great job of taking surveys I was doing. Then today, bam - totally out of the blue and for no reason at all they stole my 485 points and said they had expired. I inquired as to what happened and they said they closed my account? No explanation of why, nothing - I never did anything wrong. Did they get offended at one of the answers in my surveys? I was always honest and above board. I was always understanding even when I wouldn't receive any compensation for a survey once in a while even though I had finished the survey. Did I win one of their contests and they didn't want to pay off? They pay off in lots and lots of contest entries for those that keep trying to take surveys. I thought they were one of the good sites but I guess not because they certainly used me and then cheated me out of my points. Be wary of them. I am very upset at them right now.

I’ve cancelled my account

May 25, 2021 by Louisa from United Kingdom

After completing a survey giving lots of personal information I was rerouted back to the beginning again so I sent an email to complain.
I was told the quota filled up whilst I was completing the survey (despite me reaching the end), which means they collected data without my permission.
I only deal with professional companies and in my opinion this is not one.

Hi Louisa,

We are sorry for the delayed response and the inconvenience!

Many surveys are looking for specific characteristics that might or might not apply to you. Although it can be frustrating, ending a survey early ensures that we don't waste your time.  

Some surveys are also looking for a certain number of respondents from particular demographic groups. When a survey ends early for you, that could mean that we already have the necessary number of respondents from your demographic group.

If you have any other questions, you can always reach out to us at [email protected] .

Best Regards,

DON'T SIGN UP

March 25, 2021 by Dave from Canada

This website deserves 0 star rating if I could do it. I signed up yesterday, completed 2 surveys and then about 4 hours later, I receive an email saying that my account was deactivated!

In their terms of service, they say they have the right to deactivate without warning.

In my email I received, they told me my profile was not "suitable to their needs", how would they know they in just a few hours?

Pretty pathetic website. Don't waste your time with these people. I'd hate to get so many points to only get deactivated in the end.

Hi Dave,

We're sorry for the bad experience. Unfortunately, not all respondents become active panel members. Sometimes, our area of research is incompatible with some profiles.

kind regards,

Account was closed in ONE day!

February 21, 2021 by Grace A from United States

I signed up for i-Say on December 28th; I confirmed my e-mail address and filled in some profile info. The next day, without ever seeing a survey or participating in any way, I received a message that my account had been deactivated. It said:

"We have been reviewing our clients' research requirements and, unfortunately, your member profile is no longer suitable for our market research needs. Consequently, your account was deactivated on 2020-12-29.

In these circumstances, your membership cannot be reactivated."

I contacted them, asking WHY?!...

...and two months later, I'm still waiting for their reply...

I'm having a hard time understanding how my profile is 'no longer suitable' for them--but it was 24 HOURS earlier! I'd avoid this site like the plague. If they ban a brand-new member out of the blue, for a reason that makes no sense, I just can't recommend it.
