Mindfield Online Internet Panels

Want to know one of my pet peeves? Not sure why I even ask that because regardless of your answer if your reading this your going to know....well, I suppose if you really don't want to then you can close the page now though and save yourself. It's taking the time to start to answer one of those "paid internet surveys" and then after you spend a few minutes "qualifying" your told, "I'm sorry, we've already filled the field that your quota fits into today, thank you, hope to see you again soon."

You know what goes beyond being a pet peeve? An online company taking up 15-20 minutes of my time which I spend answering questions about products I use, why I like them, which I don't like etc etc and then letting me know that they have my quota filled but they thank me for my time. WHAT? You asked the fucking qualifying questions nearly 20 minutes ago and they took me about 90 seconds to answer! Remember? I do! They asked my age, race, sex....why the hell didn't you stop me from answering questions then? No, instead you let me answer 95% of the damn survey that was supposed to pay $3 and take 25 minutes so now I get paid NOTHING AND SPENT 20 MINUTES TO GET THAT FUCKING NOTHING. 


I usually don't write a review until I have spent a reasonable amount of time using a product, service or site because I want to be fair and objective and for this reason i'm not going to say anything else negative about Mindfield Panels because it hasn't been very long yet. But, THIS IS THE 2ND GOD DAMN TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED OUT OF THE LAST 3 SURVEYS I HAVE TRIED TO ANSWER. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. It's bad enough that these survey companies pay like crap and still ppl like myself sit here and spend the time blindly trying to answer honestly under the guise we are helping shape the companies that we buy from, but now your going to actually rip us off for those measly few bucks we get for the hours we put in?


It comes out to less then $2 an hour usually. LITERALLY. AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING. COME ON GUYS, STEP UP.

So, think Snap Dollars is your answer to your dreams or even a tank of gas a few times per month? How about a tank of gas monthy? A single tank, that's not much to ask, RIGHT?

Snap Dollars Paid Survey Site

I'll tell ya right off the bat, this is going to be one of the only places, items, things, sites, etc that I have given an almost entirely negative review....the thing is, I intentionally waited 3 1/2 months after starting to use the snap dollars site for that fact. I could tell it was not very user friendly the first day but wanted to see if it got better elsewhere. Sometimes, sites or items have 1 nagging little issue but they blow you away everywhere else, i've even literally forgot the thing that bothered me when someone asked before(about my toshiba thrive tablet actually) Unfortuneately, that was no where near the case here....just kept getting worse and worse until finally, here I am. Snap, you had your chance, we dated, we tried, we gave it another chance, but seriously, you need to get away, go somewhere quiet and far away, let yourself unwind, relax, think, and then start fresh....REALLY, I'M NOT KIDDING. DO IT!!!

Ok, here's the deal. Most ppl find out pretty quick that "reading" (or clicking on and quickly closing) the "paid email offers" is something you should do everyday to add some much needed money to your account. That's pretty much a rule of thumb for any of these types of sites, it literally takes 4 seconds per email, and that's if your just waking up, groggy, half awake, and can't find your delete button. The thing with this place is that they are literally the ONLY SURVEY SITE, ONLY ONE, OUT OF THE 12 I'M TESTING RIGHT NOW, THAT SIMPLY WILL NOT "REMEMBER" MY PASSWORD MORE THEN A FEW TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT SOMEHOW GETS DELETED AND IM FORCED TO REENTER IT AGAIN...OF COURSE THAT'S AFTER I'VE ALREADY CLICKED THE EMAIL AND DELETED IT....

AND NOT GOTTEN CREDIT. i FIGURED OUT THAT i LOST OVER HALF OF THE MONEY I SHOULD HAVE EARNED BEFORE I FIGURED THIS PART OUT. 

To make things exponentially worse, no response from "customer service" either. Nothing. Dial Tone. Crickets. That little buzzing sound when you turn the tv off. After the 3rd attempt, I cut my losses on way too much time, effort, honesty, and knew it was time for the big ending, the final scene, the kiss of death, execution was necessary but i'm no killer. If even 1 person reads this and avoids the feeling of putting in a weeks work, finally getting your check in the mail, and getting half what you expected.....well, with the time you put into these things and the little reward it's more like seeing 1/120th of what you expected per week. AND THEN TO SEE THAT HALF OF THAT SHIT WASN'T EVEN CREDITED??? 

Beyond Disappointing. It's to the point that it's comical. BUT, it's only funny because it's not money I was relying on obviously, I know it's hard to believe but there really are ppl out there plugging along, answering hundreds and thousands of questions daily, just trying to make whatever they can, wherever they can and I guarantee you, GUARANTEE YOU, that there's men and women around the states and other countries that have had some heated, pointless, yelling matches with themselves and the computer screen....

because Snap Dollars isn't great, isn't even mediocre, put it this way, if someone told you they are awful, Snap Dollars should publish that and be happy that some news station hasn't found some guy that put in 180 hours and then got a check for $30.14 4 months later.
