Account Suspension Right Before Reaching Payout Threshold

December 12, 2018 by David from United States

After doing surveys for the last 6 years or so, I can say Panel Champ (Quest Mindshare / CINT) is the second worst survey panel I've ever joined.

The worst was Survey Head, which I hope are no longer in business. However, even they allowed me to collect what I had earned before I left, and, in addition, I knew why they closed my account. (I took the same mobile survey twice which disqualified me from their panel.)

I originally joined this panel through another panel because it offered "High Payout" surveys but in all my time there, I never qualified for one.

I wrote to Panel Champ about my suspension and they sent me a list of about 40 convenient, Draconian rules, none of which I believe I violated. My best guess is that I entered in my personal e-mail in order to resume a survey at a later time, which perhaps they took as opening a second account. There's no way of knowing as they won't respond to my inquiry.

Besides that, the survey finder page frequently won't load correctly and after a survey is done it sometimes won't redirect to the completion page which means I didn't get paid for several surveys. Many of the survey invite links break and disqualify you from doing a survey until they send another invite, which is a few times per month. A lot of the surveys were also not relevant to me.

The payout is decent, however, and I did make some money before they closed my account. If you have already joined, I recommend to collect what you have earned at the first available chance and then find a better panel.

DON'T unless you enjoy frustration

September 12, 2018 by Leisa from United States

Okay, to be fair, I got 2 payouts from them, each taking longer than the last. Now, I'm stuck at 6 days pending on 1-4 day payout. I got that nervous feeling we survey takers get when we think we're about to get screwed and I wasn't wrong. I don't mind a couple of extra days. However, when customer svc hits me up asking for info and screenshots and doesn't even read the message-I just don't have a good feeling about it. Nothing has been done and I'm not sure there will be.

UPDATE: After bugging them, they issues a payment. It was supposed to be 12.50 but they paid 12.25. It wasn't because of fees because they don't assess those as they are factored into the cashout levels. I deleted the apps because I've read some terrible things for others and mine seems to be going a bit downhill.

Hello Leisa - we are terribly sorry for the frustration you have felt from the CINT payout system. Unfortunately it is out of our control how slow or fast payments are made due to the fact that we are not paying respondents directly. A system is in place to rectify this process. We would really love for you to continue being part of our panel for the simple reason that we DO legitimately pay out our valued respondents. We have a range of surveys with different compensation incentives that you may be eligible to complete. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Hello Kimberly - please reach out to me directly: [email protected] or give me a call at 416-860-0404 ext 204 to resolve this issue. We deeply value our Respondents. Unfortunately we have had major delays in issuing incentives due to multiple survey programs closing at the same time. We would like to make sure your issue is rectified and for you to participate in the future.
Thank you.
