Takes too long

October 6, 2021 by Mary from United States

I've been on this site for many many years..just drop by to do a few things every so often. Read mail, watch tv, try a few surveys and do searches. I'd say about every three days. They have added a little scratch off thing recently.. if you do enough of their things, you can scratch once. I never get more than 4-8 cents! While I don't mind the site, seeing as ive had it over a decade... there isnt enough to do there, and earning their THIRTY DOLLAR cash out takes forever!! I seriously get one cash out a year. They should really lower the cash out, like other sites. I get around 15 and feel stuck, like I need to stay there and finally cashout..i guess thats what they want. Just dont have enough to do to earn more. Decent layout and easy to use.

UPDATE10/21.. site is really lacking. Glad they dropped payout to 10 and added more options but the site is lacking stuff to do all the way around. Takes long to get to 10 bucks compared to
Other sites that are better. The activists don’t credit for my daily checklist, at least for me and how can it be daily checklist if there isn’t enough to do??? It’s become a letdown.. really need to add more ways to make money. I’m ready to call it quits after not being credited for a few high paying things, a game and a survey when I did them both right. I couldn’t recommend this site. Does anyone even make anything besides a few cents in the scratch offs?? They should give people a chance to win some money and post the winners on fb and on the site. Seems it’s just really greedy. Sad because I’ve been a member so long.

I believe this was the 1st panel I ever joined (in 2011). What I like about them is they are very consistent; and, attentive...they reply to emails sent and answer questions or resolve problems in a timely manner. It use to be they had a $30.00 cash out threshold, which I would achieve about once a year. But now, they've lowered it to: $10.00; $15.00 & $30.00 (for Amazon Gift Cards), which is much better, in my opinion.

Rewards

I have been answering surveys for this company for about three years. I requested payment on May 31, 21 and received payment on June 1, 21.

CANNOT CASH OUT

April 29, 2021 by D'Jean from United States

I HAVE OVER $30 IN MY INBOXDOLLARS A/C AND CANNOT CASH OUT BECAUSE THE ONLY OPTION IS FOR THEM TO SEND A TEXT MESSAGE VIA CELL PHONE. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THOSE PHONES. THEY HAVE IGNORED MY RESPONSE TO THEIR INVITATIONS/ZEN DESK AND AT THE WEBSITE AND A PHONE CALL WOULD NOT GO THROUGH. THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ALL THE 15 SURVEY GROUPS I BELONG TO AND ONCE I GET MY MONEY, I'M QUITTING, AFTER BEING WITH THEM FOR MANY YEARS.

Improved

April 28, 2021 by Deirdre from United States

This has improved since I first started using it. The app needs an update though! The website through mobile device or desktop/laptop offers much more than the app, but you can still use the app to do quite a few things like the surveys. They have also dropped the cash out level from $30 to $10 and cashing out is so much easier and quicker!
