Free Credits - Surveys

  It is Very Frustrating to go into the "Get Credits / Earn Free Credits / Take Surveys" and the Icon shows 10 Min 126 Credits and you go through and answer the 'Pre-Qualification Questions' and then it says OK, Are you ready to begin your survey, This should Take 25 minutes!

  Come on WGT, Get with it, I realize you are Not controlling the Surveys, but at least have someone monitor and have the Correct Information..

   

  The other thing that is frustrating is when the survey takes you through 3 or 4 surveys in one setting.  You get through the first two and then you don't qualify for the third one.  You get Zero Credits.

   

  (SORRY If this is a Re post, I tried to do a search, but the Search functionality on this site is less than desirable)

  Yeah surveys are tricky and time consuming . They wont always pan out to your expectations and some things you have to take on the chin .  WGT has no control over them and would be nice if they did . Would also be nice if yes they monitored the free credit offers but they wont . Its hard enough to get them to stay on top of what they can control much less what they cant .

  But this is why we have C/S and the forums to bring these problems to their attention . Doesnt mean they will fix the problems but sometimes you will be surprised . You never know you just never know .

  But strangely, I saw something about improved survery credits and in the last 2 days have gleaned 709 from them, hell before it would take me months to aquire that amount, if I even tried.

  I couldn't agree more with the OP.  The surveys are so deceitful in the time estimation.  I'm done with those and will get a higher paying min wage job if I need credits that bad.

  Surveys are a complete joke.

  And, if they've improved the surveys, please reimburse me the approximately 4500 credits for the time involved in past experiences.

  The other credit opportunities are also a complete ripoff.  You better take screenshots and copies of every bit of correspondence associated with the partner companies because you will have a 3 week fight on your hands to get paid off.

  Can you believe that on one of those partner offers, after I took the deal, the screen showed that it was offering a lower credit payoff.  After many back and forth emails I finally got my credits, but it was for the lower credit offering, JACKASSES.  Luckily, I had a screen shot of the original credit amount and they ended up making up the difference.

  The whole credit earning operation here is just so SCUMMY!

  A happy WGT member.

  No the offers arent perfect but mostly ok . Im sitting on 21k in credits from surveys and videos . Just made 350 off of surveys today so I wont complain . The offers for earning credits have always paid my way since I started playing the game so no regrets here at all .

  Also a happy WGT member

  For me the surveys are like icing on a cake: tasty and an added but unnecessary element. I watch the videos available on the mobile app. So easy to sit in front of the tele and have the phone in my lap doing its thing. Last night it was 400 credits earned during 2 hour long shows. Can even do surveys on the phone now but much prefer the PC because of screen size.  Playing WGT absolutely free does take dedication, but it can be done without too much aggravation. Just look at your schedule and find ways to multi-task. Now I am off to the porcelain throne where I hope to get another 20 or 30 credits.

  So you made $2/hr.  I realize it was while you were watching the TV but wouldn't the TV programs have been more enjoyable without watching your phone every 15 to 30 seconds?  It's like spending $2 extra on gas, I mean petrol, to drive to a station to save $2 on a  tank full.  You think you're playing WGT for free but my time is worth more than that even if I'm sitting on the loo.  If you were the service person in the gas station for 2 hrs. you would have made $24.

  How much is WGT getting paid for those commercials? 

  When the payout goes up by a multiple of 4, I might consider that crap again.

  If those of us who do the surveys and videos dont mind spending our time to do so why are you so concerned ? If you feel they arent worth your time then dont do them . You claim your time is so important but you spend it playing online video games . For those of us who are either retired or disabled time is all that we have . So if we spend our free time earning free credits well how sweet is that it`s very sweet .

  Now run along like a good little troll and go back under your bridge . Oh by the way did you know that you were 2 months late on this thread . Go figure your time is so important but you spend it responding to a forum post thats months old .

  Just my 2 cents, if I'm doing something that only requires average attention, clicking on my phone or android emulator (e.g. Nox, Blue Stacks) is not a distraction or effort at all.

  I'm not a one trick pony in as far as WGT is not the only golf game I play (I play about 4 different golf games).

  Nor is golf the only game I play and when I do there is always a moment where there is a pause where you can look at the wall or just click on 'next video', and then you don't have to watch the video, of course.

  You can also get credits if you are not playing games but have the moments to spare to TAP YOUR FINGER. Not too difficult.

  If these methods aren't for some people then you don't have to do them.
