Golfer Warning Regarding Clear Voice Surveys.

  The only way I can afford to play this game is using the get free credits options.  I have earned quite a few credits from a great many means.

  I just wanted to warn everyone about Clear Voice Surveys.  After taking my 3rd survey just recently, I have been rewarded with a total of zero WGT credits.  After answering questions for over 30 minutes each time I get some message about no trials available in my area.

  In my opinion, these folks are very suspicious or down right criminals.  Someone should investigate them for fraud.

  Thank you and happy swinging.

  Brian

  I've read several posts about them. They say that your 30 minute survey is just the prelim. Totally bogus.

  Here's a thought. Has anyone ever gotten creds from them?

  This is not just limited to some surveys.  Many, many of the supersonic ads offers that I did over the past week simply did not give me the credits the offer promised.  I mean - I'd say 85% did not reward the credits.  

  I saw this thread earlier today and was like "good, at least the surveys/offers are getting some attention from someone other than myself" and what do you know - I'm getting credits for offers again tonight.  Now maybe this is just a coincidence, and maybe it's not.  The bottom line is that it would be really nice if WGT just kept an eye out for this sort of thing going on.  Some of these offers are either a) phony - they just lead to link upon link and no offer or b) basically bait and switch.  We're promised credits, instead we're "offered" free points on their website - not this one.  

  Just to clarify - Sponsorpay ads and offers were recording credits all along and still are.  Supersonic ads, up until today, were regularly not rewarding us with credits earned all week.

  Just to update this - the problem continues and now it's on all offers.  A large percentage of them simply just don't give credits when they say they will.  I have filled out more offers in the last week that didn't give me the credits than ones that did.  

  I spend a lot of time farming credits on here via videos, offers, registrations, surveys - and the fact of the matter is that lately it's been slim pickings.  There's a scarcity of opportunities and the ones I can find - usually don't give credits.  Not only that, but I can't remember the last time a survey actually showed up on the surveys list.  Ten days ago maybe? 

  I'm not blaming WGT.  Quite the contrary.  I'm simply alerting them to something that is a problem for THEM as well as US.  They have agreements with companies and those companies are not living up to their end of the bargain it seems. 

  Once again, if someone could please look into this - I'm sure the community would appreciate it.  There's no shortage of potential customers on WGT, just a shortage of companies giving out the rewards they promise for their offers.

  I just checked my account "stats" for the last 11 days. I only deal with a limited number of companies' offers because of the complaints and personal experience of over 5 years on this site.

  I haven't done any MyView surveys recently but they have been one of the most consistent and reliable survey companies, the only one I deal with any more on the "Complete Offers" tab.

  Peanut Labs has been very good, awarding full credits for 6 surveys out of 26 attempted. I was awarded 4 or 5 credits for each of the other attempts. Only one of those required answering more than 10 questions before booting me and awarding only 5 credits.

  I haven't attempted surveys with any other companies.

  Social Vibe payouts have been the most numerous since I started on this site, paying credits on 14 out of 14 offers.

  Live Gamer (the carousel) has been excellent, averaging about 70 views per day.

  SponsorPay has been excellent, far and away the most numerous with videos and reliable awarding of credits for them that I've ever seen here.

  EDIT: I don't bother even clicking on the Supersonic tab or anything else involving them.. They are absolutely one of the worst companies offered here: END EDIT

  I realize that virtually no where else in the world do you get access to as many offers as we do here in California. Instead of focusing on the territorial differences in the number of offers, though, focus on the fact that only a handful of companies are reliable and trustworthy.

  For the ones that aren't, don't deal with them. Or, if you do, inundate WGT customer service directly through their contact form with complaints. Make WGT open up a case number with each one daily and force them to deal with it. Only complaining about them on the forums will do nothing but a stack of a few thousand complaints about a specific company ought to. While you're at it, don't forget to praise the good companies so they'll keep dealing with them.

  Having a lot of trouble with SponsorPay and SuperSonic awarding credits for the surveys.  Much time and energy spent with no credits.  Higher percentage of success with TrialPay and videos.  I love the game and like to earn the extra credits for clubs and balls as well.  I just wish WGT made sure that we get an honest return on the time and energy we put into it.  WGT: Please honor your offers thru these 3rd parties or revamp in some way.  Appreciate the other comments.

  Credits all but dryed up few days ago for me. When I do surveys, I just go for 5 credits. I DO NOT waste time completing them, takes up too much time & then even more time getting paid up. Totally not worth it, and I do blame wgt 100%, they are the only ones in control.
