I do surveys for two places, pinecone, which most of you know about and NFOmysurvey.
I am happy with Pinecone but not with NFO my survey anymore.
Normally, NFO will send me a short survey (under 5 minutes) and I will receive 10 points for it. To get a check for $10, you have to accumulate 1000 points. You can get 150 points for referring someone who becomes a member. Sometimes you will get much longer surveys that will pay hundreds of points.
Lately, the surveys I have been getting, are only paying 5 points each. You know how many surveys you have to do to get to 1000 points? Way too many!
I have also been receiving surveys for NO points. Instead they enter your name in a contest. I don't do those surveys at all.
I have decided to stop doing these surveys as soon as I accumulated my next 1000 points. I had 765 points as of yesterday. I got another survey for 5 points and after I took it, they offered me a survey about financial products that paid 400 points. I jumped on it.
The survey took about 40 minutes and as soon as I finished, I redeemed my points.
Has anyone else stopped doing the surveys because of the low points awarded??
Today, we are going to a wine tasting party hosted by our local Humane Society. It is a bit expensive at $60 a couple, but I feel like our Humane Society is a very worthy cause. It is a no kill shelter and I support them as often as I can.

I'm also fed up with e-rewards. The rewards are lousy and hard to come by.

they dropped the points given for surveys

I do NOT do the pointless surveys either.
I CERTAINLY intend to tell them exactly why.
