are these survey sites worth it?(merged)

daisy2002

I haven't had a survey from Ipsos in a few months but i logged into my account about 6 weeks ago. Tried to log in last night but it said my panel number doesn't excist :eek:
Thought maybe i had put in the wrong password so tried to get it sent to my email address to be sure & it said my email address could be found :mad:
I have about £20 worth of points on my account

I've emailed them but i haven't heard back from them yet, i don't understand why they'd delete my account when it had over £20 of points on it

Just so you don't feel we are snubbing you- To get a referral email invite (ie pinecone send us as members invites to send to others to become members) is rare- like I have only ever had one and that was months ago. Its no longer valid.

Its not that we are not sending you out any invites, its that we just don't have any to give. Its very rare we do have any.

Noted that many ppl would like to join and if there are any invites, I am sure its something we will post for you guys, but atm there just are not any going. So please don't feel offended if you have not had an invite and asked a long while ago!:o

Yes, I've just logged into my private messages and there are loads of requests for Pinecone referrals!

I'm really sorry for the late response but even if I was to post out the link to everyone that requested it, the link that I have probably doesn't work any more.

Sorry to disappoint anyone.

hi Shaz Would This Be The Site your talking about???

Nope, it was actually an email from Pinecone to my private email address.

The link that you've found looks seriously out of date and a little dodgy, I'd steer well clear and wait until Pinecone start emailing current members for new recruits.

Juicy Panel is no more come the 10th of December so remember to clear out your account before this date or you forefeit your points.

I've just received the email about this, luckily my balance is £10.75 so I will only have to waste 75p of my balance. Annoying for people having to lose out on their balances if they are not at the redemption thresholds

Not impressed with Juicy Brains panel as I have £4.75 in my account. If they are closing, then they should send people whatever their balance is in an Amazon voucher. As after all they have been paid themselves for the information we have provided.

The new panel looks like a right waste of time, as you don't paid.

I've got £4.25 in my account and very little hope of qualifying for a survey in time to take me over the threshold - it sometimes takes days before it shows up in your account anyway.

If a Bank decided to close the savings accounts of those who were below a £5 threshold and keep all the money for themselves then there would be an uproar.

But a survey site gives members less than one month's notice that it's going to keep all their hard earned cash after having already been paid by the manufacturers and somehow this is ok?

Agree with the previous poster that we should get our balance in Amazon vouchers £5 threshold or not.

This is a con plain and simple.

I'm already mad at Juicybrains because they made me drink some filthy tea called "Tetley Super-T" on the promise of being paid £5 for a survey. When I responded to the survey less than an hour after receiving it I was told it was already fully subscribed.

At least QNA are honest and you get an Amazon voucher per survey. This is just robbery.

Unfortunately it's for IT / Business professionals so don't think i'd be able to take part, shame as it looks good :sad:

QNA is great, but only for people who work in IT. They pay normally within a few hours of completing a survey, and they pay £5 or £10 in an Amazon voucher. If you are interested send me a PM and I can send you a link to join (not sure if Iam allowed to post it on here).
