The survey site that has a 'evergreen' name is going to heck too. I got an e-mail asking me to opt in to a new program $3 per survey and a bogus $500 sweepstakes.

I can still stay under the old program but wil not get many surveys and cant then move over to the new program.

One of the best programs goes into the crapper. I am not wasting my time to make more money for them and resigned the panel. It won't happen but if all you other members quit maybe they would get the message.

I got the same email. Couldn't believe it. I didn't opt out in for the other one.
Hate to see that one go to sweepstakes. It was the best one out there. :cry

I received it as well, and was not happy. I opted in, but I also sent them an e-mail letting them know how I feel. It seems like another instance of a research company being greedy.

A friend of mine just signed up and she didn't even have the option, they just paid her $3 for her surveys. I stayed with the original plan, but haven't had a survey in a very long time.

I was a member several years ago and made a killing in surveys. When I got married and moved they canceled my account. About 6 months ago I found a banner and rejoined. I now only receive the $3, but I guess it is better than nothing. Oh, and I have only received one survey that paid since rejoining.

I just received the email. :( It really didn't sound as if I had a choice. The email said that they were doing away with the cash-only panel and that I would have to sign up for the $3/sweepstake panel to stay active.

I just got the e-mail and am not sure what to do. I haven't really been getting many surveys anymore anyway, so I don't know that too much would change if I stayed with the $5 per survey. This is the only survey site I do because they always quickly paid and didn't bother with points, drawings, etc.. Plus, they surveys are not super long. I wouldn't be surprised if the surveys starting getting longer as well. I also don't like the "threat" they are presenting us with. :(

I also received my email ,and I opted in , I've been with them for years and have had no problems with them. $3 is better than nothing and plus I know I will always get paid quickly ( unless something changes with them, sorry I can't say that for other Survey sites).

To each, it's own " I'm Staying":dancing:

I don't care for the new way of doing things either. However, they are dependable, do send surveys and pay.

Sorry to see it going this way.....they are/were a great site.

I opted in, and got 2 surveys right away. $3 for 2 is better than $5 for none......

I got the email too, and opted in. I haven't had a survey in a long time. Hopefully this will change things for the better.

Heck I am going to stay. They have always been good to me.I never had to wait for a check. I remember a time I would get the check before I got the survey.

When I first joined, I used to get an average of 3 surveys a month, now I'm lucky to get one every 2 or 3 months. I accepted the $3 offer, not happily, but right now, every penny helps. I've never won any online sweepstakes, but who knows?

I was not thrilled at the new terms either-but it does still pay better then a lot of other survey sites

That's the way I understood it too, said if you didn't switch now, you may not have a chance to stay on, so guess I'm switching.
