Absolutely Terrible!!! DON't SIGN UP

November 12, 2014 by Jon from Canada

- Horrible customer Service ( most of the time the representative ([email protected]) does not even respond to your email

- Survey points take forever to be credited to your account. Right now I have 2500 ($25) points pending to be credited

- They say it might take up to 6 weeks for the points to be credited to your account

- Sometimes the credits just disappear after a 4 week pending status

- They stop giving out paypal $10 payouts

Has become too unberable

September 19, 2014 by Richard from Canada

If you love extremely poor customer service and getting ripped off, this is the site for you. I've been using it for 2 years and it's come to the point that I'm closing my account. There are way better sites you can be doing. DO THOSE SITES! The only thing that made this half decent was amount earned for surveys. But if your surveys go pending, don't expect the credit before 8 weeks later and that's after fighting tooth and nail with them. Customer service? Again, expect a month delay on tickets you send in if you're that lucky. Rewards are bare minimum and a rip off. All good ones are no longer. Want $10 dollars Paypal? That'll cost you $12. It's $11 for 5 Air miles. That's by far the biggest rip off. I ordered Paypal over 7 weeks ago, after sending in almost 50 tickets for support, I finally get a message back saying they no longer have Paypal and they refuse to return the money I reddem back to my account. For a company that is only around because of it's users, you'd think they'd actually put some emphasize on on customer service, but that's wishful thinking. I'd recommend Global Test Market and Opinion Outpost. I won't even give my referral link because all I want to do is warn people of this site. So again, if you enjoy being ripped off, sign right up.

air miles

what the heck air miles is gone now too it just keeps getting worse

We've been robbed

September 24, 2013 by mar from Canada

Count me in as another who spent valuable time well into surveys only to be told that I don't qualify. Like the others, customer service ignores my complaints.

Then, robbed of justifiably expected deposit to PayPal, it was removed without notice. AirMiles reward had a lesser
$ value. Nothing else offered is useful to me. I only go to Cineplex on half-price Tuesdays, even less with other discounts/coupons.

In my opinion, they have cheated their clients, and demoted themselves to being RIP OFF artists.

They removed PayPal

August 1, 2013 by Darryl from Canada

I would have rated them 5 stars, but a few months ago they removed PayPal or cheque as a payment option. Furthermore the interaction I had with customer service was less than acceptable. Thankfully there are other survey companies that value their members and reward them appropriately.
