Surveys are a ripoff

  Agreed. If you've taken the survey and done everything required it's definitely worth pursuing.

  I've purchased two sleeves of level 61 Nike's in the past few days from surveys and videos. And PeanutLabs paid me the credits I didn't receive after finishing a survey and the Turbo Tax offer. You have to submit a ticket when you don't get your credits. It also helps to click the settings button and fill out your Demographic profile.

  Tiresome and tedious as they are, I can't complain, they have funded all of my clubs.Four drivers, three 3 woods, four iron sets, two sets of wedges and four putters.Now they continue to furnish me with balls.

  It is unusual for any of them to pay out within the stated time however, so we have to take steps to ensure payment. Here's my method.

  1. take screenshots of EVERY page of the transaction.( i use windows snipping tool, it's simple)

  2. When the stated time runs out and you haven't received the credits, immediately click the support button and report the problem.

  3.. Attach all the screenshots  to your complaint and also a copy of the confirmation e-mail if you got one. There is a checkbox among the offer pages to ensure you get the e-mails.

  Since adopting this method I now ALWAYS get my credits, usually two days after the report goes in.

  I  always treat getting free credits as a game within a game, especially surveys ;0)

  HAPPY HUNTING!

  Peanut labs cheated me out over 4000 credits in 9 months how ever I still get enough to play for free...

  I finally got tired of it and sent them nice tickets with proof available, and twice they said, I would have the credits on my next login however they never showed on my account...when I said something about that all contact stopped, and further complaints were ignored completely...

  then I wasn't getting any surveys for awhile, or was sent directly to the 5 credit page or the connection couldn't be completed for 2-3 weeks...

  for about the last 17 days I get them again and have accumulated a pretty nice chunk, but again in the last 2 days I have completed a survey and got the thank you page but 0 credits 3 times, once I got the 120 credit page and 0 credits(I did take that one again and got them), filed a complaint on all 3 (not so nice anymore) and never got a response or any credits....

  I just want to know what health condition to pick on the 700+ credit surveys  :)

  I'd just choose all of them. Simple: If it is one of those "What health issues do you have? or "What is you race?" or "what job position are you in (student, retired, etc.), just choose them all. As for the "Before today, which of these ______ (_______) have you heard of?" type questions, just choose truthfully. You'll always get them, unless you have heard about all of them. In that case, do 5 of them, and you are at least 5 credits (for the most part) richer.

  I find it amazing that people do the surveys, and not only that but seem inordinately proud of doing so, relishing in the misapprehension that they somehow play for free.

   

  You will spend a minimum of 20mins to half an hour to receive (if indeed you do) 90-120credits, which would be about $2.40 an hour and Its incredibly laborious and repetitive.

  I PAY for credits and 1hours work at my job, needless to say brings in more than $2.40 an hour, I also kind of enjoy my job. 

  If you dont have the luxury of a job (from old age to, or opportunity to simple laziness) i advise you to spend your time online doing market research or doing surveys direct for cash. The return would be infinitely better and much more time effective.

  I once played a guy who said he would never buy credits with his hard earned work money and yet he spent hours doing surveys. The basic logic was lost on him, as i see it seems on many others.

  Time is money. Enjoy the surveys.

  I saw one yesterday that was titled A Survey for Everyone. The first question it asked was how much money I earned so I ticked the appropriate box and it said I was disqualified. Great title.
