Hi new to this forum but I quit Greenfield also after about a month when I wasn't getting anything for my time also. Why can't they (any program) either pay you for your time in cash or at least give you points toward rewards. Even though some the rewards aren't even worth the points you have accumulated and the good ones are high points that you won't even get to.

I was very disappointed with Greenfield as was my mom who I got to join.

Thanks guys for the input!

We had a feeling that greenfieldonline was a deadbeat company (i.e. not just ignoring us). That really sucks, though. It's irritating when companies will just use comsumers like that in order to make a buck.

Actually, they make a lot of bucks ...makes me sick.

Be sure to post any others that do not pay, but please keep each company in their own thread...

Cheers,

Brandon

Welcome to the forum, Brad!

Thank you for the input. Maybe they were acquired by new management who lets things go downhill??

If you search in Google for "greenfieldonline", we and mValue show up in the results. And greenfieldonline has obviously noticed because they have taken steps to try to push us down the ladder of the results by adding a new listing that is just a subdomain (i.e. signup.greenfieldonline).

This lets us know that they are such a deadbeat company that they wish to try to "cover up" their shortcomings instead of address them.

In the past, this has been a warning signal of a nearby "going out of business" notice. So, we would not be surprised if they find themselves looking for work soon. Unless they do the right thing and change their ways, we will do everything we can to get the word out about their unscrupulous business practices.

Cheers,

Brandon

thanks for the tip on these guys. i have been recieving surveys from them (none of which i qualify) 1 come today im not going to waste my time thanks again! :D

I've been a member for about 5 years with Greenfield. I used to rarely do a survey, but recently got back into it. I won/earned $10 with them about 4 months ago and they sent a check right away. So I guess they will pay, eventually. I haven't had any more money in my account since then, so maybe they have gone under new management.

Finally!

We may finally be getting somewhere. One of the senior executives over at Greenfield Online (Harris) has finally taken notice of our reviews and has contacted us.

He seems genuinely interested in what has happened to us (we'll see), and I am hopeful something good will come of this new dialog.

We have given him quite a bit of information and proof of how we (and many others) have been getting ripped off and ignored. He is supposed to review the information and get back to us next week.

I will update this thread with any new developments.

If they can fix their shortcomings, we will even consider re-writing their negative review into a positive one -after a sufficient grace period has passed.

Here's a link to that review:

Wish us luck for everyone's benefit!

If Greenfield is trying to "turn over a new leaf" they sure as heck aren't doing a good job. I still have two interactive surveys (one over 3 months ago) along with a bunch of "guaranteed payment" surveys that they haven't credited me for. Like the other posters have stated, they ignore all communication that you send to them. Any invitations they send me get pitched into the recycle bin...cash incentive or not, and it'll stay that way until they cut the BS and pay up like they're supposed to

Hi Catnap,

Thank you for your post. It is experiences like yours that need to be shared. Greenfield needs to know that we all know what they are doing.

As an update: we have not heard back from them since our last post, and we have seen no changes as yet. I am hopeful that we will hear something soon.

Best Regards,

Brandon

They're still sending "guaranteed payment" invites out...before I pitched it, I forwarded a copy back to them with a snippy retort. :D

Let's see if they get the message (literally and figuratively)

Just sent back two more with some commentary...boy they're gonna be sick of me if they're not filtering them into the trash :D

[catnap1972]

They finally sent me a response a couple of days ago but I'm pretty sure it was "canned"...they asked for the #s of whatever surveys that haven't been credited and they would "investigate". Funny that they don't keep records of completed surveys...me thinks they have no intention of paying unless you have proof that you should've been paid.

[catnap1972]

Today they sent me a new one...not sure if it was "canned" but it sounds like they actually read some of the "responses" (cough) I sent back to their survey invites. Maybe they'll actually get around to reading the ones I sent with survey #s and finally pay me for those (not likely)

Yes, you are right. It is not OUR responsibility to keep track of money THEY owe us for working for them and making them money.

Let's keep on them. For now, we just trash their survey invites.

Hi Tigersoul,

Thanks for your feedback on this topic.

Unfortunately, yours is an isolated stroke of good luck. For the most part, members are still complaining; and we have not heard back from the executive that was supposed to better things over there.

In fact, we have completed several "paid" surveys worth $5 each; but none of them have posted.

It still looks like the same ol' BS going on to us. One member here even reported that they were told the completed surveys were not tracked. So, how can survey takers at Greenfield "trust" that they will be paid. They cannot.

I wish you the best that the rest of your surveys post, but don't hold your breath.

Best Regards,

Brandon

They still owe me well over $70 (including 3 interactives--one from last October). Contacting them has done little (if any) good as they come back with their excuse that "surveys won't be credited until 10-12 weeks after the survey closes" (which works out to at least 3-4 months), and even that seems to be a pie in the sky timetable from my own experience. "Truth in advertising" does NOT exist where this company is concerned.

BTW, tigersoul, getting the money credited to your account is only half the battle...don't hold your breath waiting for a check when you finally redeem it.
