Rip-Off Surveys

  So, I spend 20 minutes on a survey and at the very end it says, "Sorry, you're not a match".  I answered all the questions too.  What a rip-off.  Won't be doing any more 20 minute surveys if all I get is 5 points.  WGT, can you spare the 5 points?

  We went ahead and added 5 Cr to your account for your trouble. :)

  Is it just me, I take the time and I earn enough for 2 sleeves of Level 90 Nike Blacks a week for very little time, or if you don't want to take the time, pay the 7.00 a sleeve, but I find its not that difficult to earn the credits, and I now have 36 in my bag and am buying another sleeve in a bit so if they get rid of Nike balls, I am ready....just my 5 credits worth LMAO

  You will quickly learn that the surveys here are almost universally a scam.

  They have  also started to rip you off when you watch the 6 adds a day for 16+ days, then claim your 75 credits and don't get them, and you message them and they never get back to you at all.  It's a gamble any more.

  Someone ate all the surveys!

  Looks like we’re all out of surveys for the moment. Please check back later for more!

  I once had a survey when I first started......since then someone has eaten the lot!

  Basically, it depends where you live, I have the 7 carousel videos (when it works) so every two weeks I can earn 75 credits.

  Fine if I use 10c balls.......or I can buy a sleeve of Nikes every 65 days or so......or spend.

  Point is, not everyone can access "free credits".

  And to be honest if a survey took me 30 minutes to complete and all I got was 75 credits (as did my original one), the hourly rate is akin to slave labour.

  I see your point, they are not available to everybody, and trust me,,,i just multitask with work stuff and knock em out....it helps...and keeps the money out of my pocket, only point I was making.....

  From an earlier similar thread, July 2016

  JimbeauC:

  I'll assume you were on Peanut Labs. Some do have suspiciously long and varied "screen outs." Whenever I get one of these, I report it to PL using Other. (Under transactions, the top offer will be your last, and therefore the culprit.) I tell PL that I don't expect credits, but am just reporting the suspicious behavior. 

  I usually hear back from them, but it's a canned response. I've noticed that a few that I've reported quit showing up.

  It feels good to vent, but it feels even better to do something about it.
