  I always gave truthful answers & some of the time I didn't get anything. & sometimes I got 5 credits & maybe collect on 2 surveys every couple of days.  But most of the time I was too old for what they were looking for.  Real close to age discrimination I'd say.

  Looks to me like Topgolf is categorically eliminating access to free credits.  Also looks like the PC version of the game will be left to the tumbleweeds as all resources go into developing and maintaining the mobile version.

  Ah well, was fun while it lasted.

  Got the same thing here as well. I know they don't have to tell you why they did this, but it seems common decency would allow them to. I looked up Peanut Labs and see that Yelp gives them a 2/5 star rating. Seems like WGT could get a better company.

  Not really. It's simply the case that the companies are doing quota sampling. You simply don't fit the demographic of their defined population.

  But I always gave correct information.  Who are they to judge me????  I was always honest.

  If you gave truthful responses, I agree that you're getting a bad deal by being permanently banned. That shouldn't happen.  But that's a separate issue from simply being disqualified from a particular survey because of age.

  And if the surveys keep coming up, you should be able to do them.

  Absolutely, provided you meet the demographic profile they're looking for. If not, the data are worthless to the people commissioning the survey. They're not going to pay for worthless data.

  I got the same message so I guess I am in jail with you all. 

  I have sent them a couple of messages and have not heard back but it is Sunday so perhaps nobody is manning the company right now.

  I have had an account with them over 4 years and have never been dishonest about anything.  I send them messages when I get weird things happening during a survey to let them know what it says but that is all. 

  I was hoping to buy some equipment this rental weekend but I guess that is out now until I see what they are going to do.  I can not afford to buy credits so I may be out of here soon.  I don't know.

  I sent an email last night as soon as I got that message.  Nothing back yet.  So the few of us are in the same boat.  The peanutlabtanic
