getting worse

September 17, 2010 by disappointed from Canada

I have been with them for about 3 years now and I am about to quit. Their links do not work properly - it happens somehow with those higher paid surveys. They are incapable of giving back the link and only "apologize for inconvenience", but that is where it ends. I am endlessly plagued with sweepstakes type of surveys which a waste of time. And the endless waiting to claim the reward - in 100 point rank usually makes it not worthwhile. I would say go with Pine Cone Research. The payment is always the same - 5$ - and they deliver it immediately.

SCAM!

September 17, 2010 by T from Canada

You RARELY receive points for taking their surveys. You'll spend 30 minutes doing a survey only to be told 'sorry you do not qualify' when you've basically answered all of the questions. It seems as if they're getting your answers and telling you that you don't qualify so they don't have to give you points. If you do qualify, your points are 'pending.' I had several hundred points in my 'pending' folder, only to find out that I didn't receive the points. They magically disappeared. I didn't bother e-mailing them to inquire about it as I have already wasted enough of my time doing their surveys with nothing to show for it.

I DO NOT recommend signing up with this survey company unless you want to spend your time out of the goodness of your heart. It's a waste of your time if you're expecting points.

Changed rules/won't pay out

January 23, 2024 by Jenny from Canada

Asked for photo ID/didn't pay rewards
I followed the rules when I signed up and spent hours doing surveys. Often it would take a long time doing qualification surveys that didn't even count towards the points before finding one that worked, but I had earned $40 worth of either Amazon gift card or Visa gift card and was working towards a $50 card instead of cashing it in yet. When I recently tried to sign on, I had a message that my account was frozen unless I submitted a picture of my drivers license and of myself. There was no requirement to put my photo id on the internet when I signed up or I wouldn't have done any of it. They will not give me the rewards that I spent hours to earn. They have taken the benefit of those surveys for nothing. It is not safe to send pictures of photo id onto the internet. I tried to resolve it with the company and they have just decided to suspend my account and the balance. Don't waste your time on this company.

Required to upload ID

July 30, 2023 by Amy from Canada

They now require you upload your ID in order to cashout. They also STORE it. As a victim of fraud I can tell you this is not a good idea. People can steal your information and identity.

Didn't get paid

February 12, 2023 by Kathy from Canada

Don't do this one. Made me wait 72 hours and then told me I had multiple accounts. I asked what accounts. No reply.
