    Angry wtf, pinecone kicking me off...................

    I got a note from pinecone today telling me that if I did not want to be part of thier monthly sweepstakes program, I was scheduled for removal in thier program...........I have been a member in good standing for over 5 years. Has anybody else had this happen?
    I'm a Baha'i,ask me why.

    Well in their first letters they said you could chose to do the sweeps or they would let you do the 5 dollar ones for the time being but would stop eventually. I know it sucks.

    I chose the sweeps and the 3 dollar surveys. Actually, they have sent me a good sample with the sweep so I am not complaining. Maybe you could email them about changing over.

    i got the same email, I still wanted the $5.00 surveys not the $3.00 survey and a chance to win a prize. They said I could join the $3.00 surveys and if i didn't want to join~ my account would be flagged!

    I was already kicked out. I had been a member since around 2000/2001.

    months ago they sent the email regarding the switch to the $3 surveys...as soon as I switched, my surveys increased to 6 - 8 a month...versus 1x or 2x a month for the $5 surveys.

    one account I have uses paypal as the payment, the other account I have uses snail mail -- both are now getting more surveys.

    but the emails did say that if you did not want to switch to the $3 surveys, they would be deleting your participation account and that you would not get the opportunity to switch over.
    2 days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.

    I never got an email asking if I would and stating I'd be deleted if I didn't accept the offer. At the end of one of the "household questions" surveys it asked what I thought of earning $3 for the surveys instead of $5 (or something like that) and I told them I didn't like the idea at all. I was a member in good standing for many years. I took my time and gave thorough, honest answers for their surveys. I was disappointed to lose my spot because they had decided to kick out the old $5 members for new, cheaper, $3 members.

    I do the $3 and the sweeps entry, I get quite a few a month, so I'm happy.

    On another note, I thought we were only allowed to have one pinecone account?
