Survey Spot.com+ Survey Head.com Review

This shit is REALLY REALLY starting to get on my nerves. No, that's not true. It's already on my nerves and it's "starting" to get to the i'm going to waste 20 minutes out of my life emailing "customer service" and explaining exactly how unjust, unethical, wrong, and just plain fucking irritating what they are doing is knowing damn well whomever happens to open it will either A. spit out his subway grinder laughing by the end of the first paragraph and call in a few buddies to check this one out or B. Will end up deleted and no one will have so much as an afterthought as to who "employee" 375b294a  is, thinks, wants, QUITS!


How ironic that I actually just now had another survey from an entirely different company, about different things, paying different amounts, etc just did the EXACT same thing to me. Well, CONGRATS WWW.SURVEYHEAD.COM YOU SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT INTO THE REALM OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEW WORLD. HOPEFULLY YOU ADHERE TO THE EDICT OF ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY. I will say this caveat though in Survey Head's defense: As far as I can recall it has not been a constant, reoccurring, ALMOST DAILY problem like in the case of Survey Spot.


I bet your just dying to find out what my issue is. No it's not the fact that i'm getting paid .50 cents to answer a survey that is "estimated" to be about 20 minutes(yeah, that's $1.50 per hour. I'm NOT EXAGGERATING) Im not even complaining(at least not right now) about how wrong it is to agree to answer that 20 minute survey for .50 and in reality spend 35-40 minutes answering honestly and thoughtfully like I was asked to do. I'm mad because after spending that 35 minutes that was supposed to be 20 not only do they have a automated prompt pop up that alerts you that you will not be collecting your funds but it states a list of 4 reasons which "MAY" have contributed to this decision.


1. Inattentive behavior such as speeding through a survey.
2. Your IP address is showing as a different country then you currently listed in your profile.
3. Someone in your household has already taken this survey.
4. I'm not positive.

ASSHOLES.

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. 

If you owned a business would you rather inform all your customers that you accidently rewarded them too much so your taking it back or just build some positive brand equity with them and come out looking like your a stand up company???

For me the deciding factor would have to be exactly how much monetary value was actually being credited whether it be cash, points for gift certificates, prize raffles or gift cards along with exactly how many customers were credited too much in the first place.

I bring all of this up because this situation occured to me, I haden't even noticed that my account had been credited with an extra 0 to my reward after I completed a survey. Instad of being 110 it was 1100. I checked out what the value of points would be in relation to gift certificates and it's about $2.50 that MYVIEW had incorrectly paid their "employees". By employees I mean unemployed, bored, retired, possibly desperate, broke, or sometimes its just someone who has extra time on their hands and are on the computer basically all day anyways, ppl like me who were answering their surveys online.

Now, I have no idea how many participants/employees they have filling out surveys in total or how many of those said employees actually fillled out THIS survey so obviously I have no idea whether they would have sustained a loss of $10 million or $100 but if I had to guess I think it'd be a pretty safe bet to say that it's somewhere in the middle. I myself think its probably on the lower end and would have thought the users they alienated would outweigh those losses but they took the opposite stance.

Although I received an apologetic letter it certainty didn't make up for My View's policy of "Indian Giving" to take a term from my childhood.  Even if they did something along the lines of give 220 points instead of the 110/1100 then that would have shown they understand THEY made a mistake and still want their users to feel appreciated but to just take back 990 points with an "i'm sorry" does not cut it. If the grocery store had given me change for $10 instead of $1 would they email me and ask to come in because they are taking my money back???

All in all it just seeems like TERRIBLE BUSINESS POLICY TO ME, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Online Survey Questionnaires/Inbox Dollars

It's a bad time for the economy in the U.S. and many other countries across the world. The unemployment rate has skyrocketed to an all-time high more then once and fluctuated yet remained far too high for anyone to pretend it's a situation that can be ignored. It's bound to be a huge speaking point at the coming presidential elections where we will see potential canidiates throw jabs and fancy rhetoric back and forth but when it comes down to it nothing will change dramatically enough for it to make a noticeable difference. All of this contributes to the reasoning behind people around the world(myself included) have spent much more time then we ever thought we would answering "opinion surveys", joining research panels and opening "paid emails"

I have found that the majority of the offers are not even close to being an equal trade off  between time+energy put into answering and the reward of cash, points, gift certificate offers, coupons etc. Well over 50% of them are straight up scams that take you in a seemingly continuous loop of surveys and questions until you finally give up and haven't "qualified" for your reward yet 15 different "reputable" businesses now have your ok to spam your inbox(even though they all say they have a very strict policy against it), call your cell phone from 8am-8pm and believe me they will use every damn minute of that window, i get a call at 8 on the dot daily, and even TEXT MESSAGE YOUR PHONE(even though it incurs charges to you, whatever, not their problem, you shouldn't have checked the box then!

One of the two sites that I have found to be worthwhile at this point in my attempting to test the insanely large group of these assholes is INBOX DOLLARS. They send "paid emails each day which you just click on and then hit confirm and you receive anywhere from .01cents up to .15 cents I believe for "reading" it. But honestly, no one actually reads them, just open, confirm and decide if its an offer, survey, website that interests you and if not close it and walk away with your penny.....this is something that many of these sites offer as an incentive to participate and you'd think we'll the pennies will add up.....they really don't, at least not faster then it takes your kid to be born and then graduate college.

Another thing that is offered is to download the inbox dollars toolbar. It's actually not too bad all things considered and you just use the search as you normally would and earn 5 cents for your first 5 qualified searches daily. As far as what a "qualified search" is, I got the gist that you basically can't log on and search for Boston Red Sox......5 times.....each day....of each month....for the year. That's not searching as you normally would obviously, and if you get caught trying to abuse the system by gaming it one way or another with things like fake information, racing through the surveys and giving careless answers etc they will close your account and take all those hours and hours worth of pennies and dollars you earned so far and you won't even get that first check.

The payment threshold for each site is different and that is the one place I think Inbox Dollars lacks, minimum to make withdrawal is $50.....THAT'S A LOT OF STUPID SURVEYS TO GO TO A BAR WITH YOUR WIFE FOR 2 HOURS!(and that probably won't even cover the damn tip either)

Well, let me know what you think if you decide to try it out, i'll continue to give my opinions on good ones and bad ones as I go.
