  • I'm due a cash-out too, will keep an eye out - thanks for posting
  • I've already switched over to Branded Surveys - and my balance has switched over also. I did the daily survey through Branded yesterday and everything is as it was on MV. No problems here so far.

    I tried to log in but I can't, and I also can't re-set my password. So I've not idea if I had any money left in my account. I doubt it though, I stopped using them last year because I got screened out so much.

  • MintVine paid me yesterday - a day early so no issues here. Obviously, I might be speaking too soon...

    Anyway, maybe now is a good time to remind people not to let a balance build up on any site. Always cash out as soon as you hit the threshold.

    I have made a lot with this site, I have paid for some big ticket items for Christmas with vouchers I've earned and once I got used to Mintvine it has become my favourite and fastest earner. I say carry on, keep to the rules, withdraw at any chance you get (I'd say that about any survey site) and see how you go. It has been great and I will be disappointed if that changes but hey...

    Brill thanks luxurywoman!
  • This message is what a lot of people are getting

    "Our indicators are showing a proxy server and we will be unable to do business with her until this changes."

    This is complete rubbish as they owe me 50 dollars and will not pay up .
  • It seems like they've stopped giving consolation points now. They were pretty much the only reason I continued to do surveys with them so think I'll knock it on the head next cashout.

    I've been getting them, even got a 30 pointer today.
