Survey Stashing: Valued Opinion hints & tips

Just found out that I've had my account perminantly deleted from the panel! I've no idea why- I was told it was a "discrepancy" in my answers....I don't know where or what because they aren't telling me this. I'd been a member for years and years (possibly more than 10 years) and had always been honest with my answers even though it often meant being screened out. I had taken part in many surveys from them over the years, most for less than £1 (I never seemed to be able to pass the screening for the higher paying ones).


Just a note of warning- there was no note or email to my account being permanently suspended and I had been able to log in but just had no surveys. I'd not chased them for a long time (months) until now and had to send a few emails to get a response, it was a short response telling me due to "indiscrepancies" my account had been "permanently suspended". No warning before then, no note after it apparently happened, no nothing.


I used to think quite highly of this site as they always seemed fair enough and would usually credit for surveys taken, yes I would get screened out of more surveys than I was accepted for (the down-side to being honest with my answers!) but that's just what happens when you are not a marketers ideal candidate (too poor, too old, not spending enough money or whatever) but I understand this and this has always been the case. I knew to expect this. I just understood this is how things worked.
But the way this has all ended for me has made me think twice. I know this is just my experience alone and others will have only good experiences but I just wanted to report/post here what had happened to me in case it happens to anyone else and in case you were left wondering why you had not been getting their emails- they don't seem to warn or let you know when this happens.
