It has come to my attention after receiving plenty of e-mails on the subject. That it seems some of us are being taking for a ride when it comes to doing surveys that promise cash and or prizes.
Here are some tips of what to do to avoid this and or fix the situation. On the subject of non-payment when promised a reward.
First Off:
1. Keep all survey invitations that claim any type of cash reward or other prizes and do not delete them till you receive said reward promised.
1A. Also always wait one week more then the survey company claims for deliver. That goes double for any prize that is suppose to come on holidays.
2. E-mail said survey company. You should a;ways expect major delays for up to 32 days for most companies and 90days for really small survey companies.
2A. Always try your best to be kind in the e-mails. Also give all your information other then password. You should try to use only member account number and Survey ID number should be giving.
2B. A really good idea is to include the survey invitation attached or referenced in the e-mail. But often the company may have a policy of not excepting attachments. So you can try both ways regardless there should be the survey number as well as your member ID number included in the e-mail.
3. Keep tabs of the survey companies and what they owe you. If you don”t they sure as heck won’t…
4. Be aware that most companies have a minimum of $5 USD to claim reward of cash..
5. Some survey sites will make it even harder making it points or even making it a $20 instead of $5 USD before you can claim your prize. So read the fine print and be prepared to hold out till your desired prize level and or check is reached.
6. Some survey sites will take you years to get anything worth while.
7. All survey companies have something call “incubation periods“. Where if you do all surveys sent to you, you’ll get more as well as better prizes were others will not. (I have seen this first hand it may not seem fair but think about the large companies who want a fan or consumer base or loyal people then you’ll understand. Also used to prevent survey user scams as well.)
Well that is all for now if you have any questions or comments or wish to add to this list by all means. Please Comment and or E-mail me @ computer.savvy@hotmail.com
