  In taking about a half a dozen surveys, I've found myself getting credits roughly 50% of the time. As such, I've quit taking them. It's just not worth the aggravation.

  Everything in bag has been paid with surveys and all the other clubs I had prior to trading in for credits to get my current ones. I have never had any issues.

  I have no problem with surveys

   

  I give them the answers THEY want to hear.

  If its a 'how often do you go to the movies' survey , well i am 19 - 22yo.. If its a Credit Card survey, i'm 35 - 45 yo

  All my gear is from surveys, i;'ve had up to 10,000 creds in my bank on surveys..  i have 6000 in my pocket at the moment , and i just earnt, 600creds from 2 surveys.

   

  nope, nuttin wrong here.

  I have successfully taken several surveys and received credit for most of them.  The one you have to watch, is the one that says  "take a survey and get $5.00 USD".  I have taken 4 surveys there now, completed them successfully and never have received the first credit for any of them.  I contacted Trial Pay and they will do nothing about it, even though I supplied them with the links for the surveys.

  I think what happens is that when you go to that particular survey source, it takes you to SurveyHead and a sign in there, after completing the survey it is not notifying Trial Pay of the completion and subsequently no credits are issued.  At any rate, they got a free input to their survey and TrialPay will do nothing about it.  They win, surveyees (is that even a word) lose!!

  these surveys are a coin flipper getting your credits.

  I fired an e-mail the other day and asked them to pony up my points and the administrator finally replied with "I'm sorry, please be patient, our venders are taking time with the payments.."

  It's a rabbit hole chase,first of all, taking the survey is a royal pain in the ass.

  Secondly, when we don't get credited for it,,we get highly PISSED! I don't know the other old clown that said he hadn't had to put money into wgt,,,Hats off to You!

  It takes more freakin moxy to accrue points from them rip off surveys than it does to knock in a hole in one.

  Crongrats to the brainiac that wants to screw with the hassle of the survey experience anyhow.

  There,,days rant taken care of. lol

  Even after the tips and tricks to surveys - tried bouncing the ip to see if that helped, pretending to be what ever it is the survey seemed to be wanting, I watch the videos to get a few credits that way.

  Complete them all the way down to "Thank You For Successfully Completing Our Survey" to never see a thing, I have just gave up on the advertised survey for credits, don't even waste the time on them any more, save the frustration for the course.

  TNP56:

  I did a 150 credit alpario today ...finished it and said I was going to get my credits and still haven't got em.....I have sent an e-mail to trial pay but yet no response either......plus the survey i finished has not showed up on the support page for trial pay like the rest of the ones I have finished !

  Simple answer to that is you won't be getting the credits,as they will e-mail you to say they have no record of you completing the survey.This has happened to me about 4 times,on the daily survey where at the end it says ty for completing,but when i queried it on the 03/11/2011 it said i last did one on the 01/11/2011  so i just gave up lol

  I  also like Shrude done the luminosity one aswell as the mp3 download which again you don't get charged for if you cancel free trial in time,thats worth 850 credits i think plus to keep the mrs happy i downloaded an online game for £2.30 and got 1750 credits again a bargain!! there are some good ones out there like go daddy which i spent £5 to get 2500 credits and now a proud owner of a us domain page which i haven't looked at since i got it lol and made sure i cancelled the automatic renawl job done :)

  russellfahey:

  they will e-mail you to say they have no record of you completing the survey.

  This is a standard email they send to everyone. I have received it several times myself.

  I will again reply to the email and you will get a second standard response, this one actually includes statements like "As preveviously stated"  but..  has never been previously stated.

  Eventually they will fob you off to the actual retailer or the survey provider and I will chase them down too. Intresting when they send you an email back with an excerpt of their agreement with TrialPay, and once you forward that on to Trial Pay, you will receive your credits.

  This used to happen to me quite a bit..  strangely enough now, 99.99% of my surveys get paid.  So for that.001% I dont bother any more.

  russellfahey:

  so i just gave up lol

   

  No need to give up :)

  WhoIs is a lovely resource.

  1. http://whois.domaintools.com/trialpay.com

  Phone numbers there, just state your case to the operator & when you get no satisfaction, ask for this guy:

  2. http://www.trialpay.com/about/management/#alex-rampel

  The CEO of trialpay who is also an investor in WGT,

  I am sure if enough people attempted this avenue of recourse. TrialPay will eventually listen.

   

  Although Alastair (Alex) Rampell may not, he has been making big money on the internet ever since BBS days and recently sold www.friend.ly to facebook for a tidy sum.
