Cheated
« on: December 14, 2016, 04:07:43 pm »
I just got cheated out of pay for 2 surveys.  I completed both and it said "you will receive your reward" but 45 minutes later ... no pay.  This seems to happen a lot lately.  Makes me not want to even do the surveys.  BUT....that is the best way to make money.

Anybody else having issues?

Yes, sad to say a few days ago I completed 3 surveys and didn't receive credit for any of them.  It is frustrating, but if you get credit it's a great way to make money.

I haven't attempted to complete and surveys recently. Thanks for the heads up though. I guess I will avoid them for a little while instead of wasting time.

Yes, this happened to me with a Consumer Product Survey ($0.75) this afternoon involving a series of new product ideas.  It was conducted by Opinion Bar (I've completed many Opinion Bar surveys receiving credit for them in the past; they're reputable and enjoyable).  I'm not just bummed, I'm steamed.  I gave relevant and thoughtful answers to these product development ideas which could be truly innovative; the survey was completed with no reason not to expect credit.  I've waited a few hours ... to no avail.   >:(

I never had problems getting paid after completing the TapResearch surveys... so maybe try those out?

I have not had any trouble getting paid but very often I do the entire survey only to be told I didn't qualify

I haven't done surveys on here in some time but it does happen frequently.

This has never happened to me.  I have completed a survey and gave the credit for it and then about a week later get an e-mail saying that the company had revoked my survey and then they take the money away from me.

Where i have my problem is doing the advertising ones, for $.75. I do them and finish them and even been told i had  done everything but the payment never shows up. But if i do the one that pays $.35  always pays off right away.  So i mayjust quit doing the  75 centers. I have always  prided myself on doing right but when i am  cheated i hate it.

Sometimes it takes a while...some surveys just aren't very reliable too....try to stick to ones that are consistent

I don't know if you are call it cheated or just the name of the game.  Personally I rarely do surveys because you never know if the sponsor of the survey is going to decide something was not right or in keeping with whatever.  I just take it as it comes.  I guess that is why it takes me two months to cash out lol but I get there.

I rarely do surveys too. Mostly for this reason. Either they rarely credit or I'm not the demographic they're looking for. Can't remember the last time I did a survey.
