very annoying sign-in, I gave up

December 14, 2019 by Stanislav from United States

There is something very wrong with their sign-in page. I tried same password multiple times and sometimes it takes it and sometimes it doesn't. When it does take it, it makes you play annoying 4-5 round game with "identify all objects of this type in pictures" except it refreshes and you have to keep playing. And eventually when you think you are done, it just kicks you back to first password page. I got locked out eventually. Just a waste of time and aggravation.

They dont pay!!

December 16, 2018 by glenn from United States

I have completed the surveys and I requested the $25.00 check as I used 25000 points to get it and It was Never sent and contacted them MULTIPLE TIMES, so I stopped doing them for a year.I decided to start again and once again used my 25000 points to get $25.00 check and months later still not received.I contacted them multiple times on both occasion and they say.It shows we sent them so sorry, nothing we can do.YES, there is. You issued the check so you should know if it was cashed. You are a JOKE. People do the surveys and you PRETEND TO PAY THEN DO NOTHING when asked about it...

I love knowledge panel.. It's just YOUR OPINION.. they don't try and sell you anything.. You have to be specially invited though.

Fairly good -- until recently

KnowledgePanel has surveys for you to take and you earn points. You can spend points on many different things, but I have been told the Premiere Movie Reward is the most popular item. Over a month ago these movie rewards were "out of stock" and I inquired about the reason. The explanation was unsatisfactory.

Picture this: take surveys online, receive points, spend points. All digital. The most popular thing available is the movie reward, which is a code that is accepted by a rewards part of Fandango. Most people are probably unaware about this part of Fandango. You receive a certificate for a theater (that needs to be a participant of the rewards program) that is worth $12. You may need to pay extra, or the certificate can cover the whole ticket, depending on where you live and what movie tickets cost. No change is given. Now, remember all of this is digital. I can partially fathom how something digital can be "out of stock" as the reward codes probably need to be purchased in advance. How long would an average person expect this to take? A month? A week? A day? 15 minutes? Depending on how it is set up, I can fathom maybe 5 to 10 minutes to purchase reward codes in bulk. Since the movie tickets are the most popular, you would think they would buy as many as possible to avoid angering people that take time to fill out the surveys. If you've read this far this is obviously not the case. Today marks the second time they are "out of stock" of something completely digital, as far as my personal redeeming of points. At one point it took at least a month to get something completely digital back "in stock." If you don't care about movies or just want a check that takes a ridiculous amount of time to arrive -- and considering the year is 2017, that is also mind-numbingly stupid -- then go for it. If you like being aggravated many times, tread lightly and expect nothing.
