Over the past month and a half I have noticed that Greenfield Online's surveys have been coming up with the "technical difficulties" page. I hope I am not the only one experiencing this. It's quit annoying especially when a fair paying survey comes into your inbox and when you click the link to take you to the survey, after conforming that you are the person on the survey, but low and behold it says, "Sorry for your inconvenience. We are having technical difficulties. Please check back later.
I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if when you did check back later the survey actually worked, but unfortunately it doesn't. This hasn't happened for just one or even a couple surveys, but for every survey I have tried to take at Greenfield. I even logged in and complete the pre-survey questions and when it tries to transfer me to the survey page, the "technical difficulties" page also appears. 
Whether its the site or just me, I think they need to do something about this. I'm gonna take a leap and guess its probably not just me and say they should put their technical team to work.
Has anyone else been getting these errors when trying to complete surveys? If you have been experiencing this, for how long?
Last Friday the reward I requested from Valued Opinions arrived in my mailbox, since they only offer gift cards I selected a Visa Gift Card in the amount of $20. I was kinda surprised when I seen the letter from Valued Opinions laying in my mailbox, it seemed like only a couple weeks had pasted.
Have you gotten any rewards from Valued Opinions? How do you like them as a survey panel?

I received a couple payments late last month from Surveys.com and Opinion Place that I haven't gotten around to posting. The Surveys.com payment is for $5.00 and the Opinion Place payment is in the amount of $1.00. So far my overall total for Surveys.com is $13.00 and Opinion Place is $17.50. I haven't been as active on Opinion Place as I could be, but sometimes you get busy with other things and can't take every survey that comes your way.
SurveySpot announced that they are now switching to PayPal as their payment processor, checks will no longer be sent out. With the addition to PayPal there will also be changes regarding how incentives are shown, SurveySpot will be switching to a point-based system. Select surveys will be worth points, these points are immediately credited to your account. Once you have reached 1,000 points you can then redeem them for $10 via PayPal.
If you have existing rewards in your account that accrued before November 2nd, you will be able to request a check for the remaining amount. Any rewards that were earned before that date will not be converted into points.
What do you think about SurveySpot replacing checks with PayPal? I personally am pretty excited about the switch, the point system - not so much. I just don't understand why they have to switch to a point-system in order to use PayPal - maybe its simpler? How do you feel about the point system? Does it matter to you?

Opinion Outpost introduces a new rewards program featuring Amazon.com gift codes and a Citi prepaid debit card. You will still be able to request a check until the end of the year but they will soon be phasing out checks at the beginning of the new year. You can currently redeem your points via check or Amazon.com gift codes.
I have been a member of Opinion Outpost for a little over three years and had no problem redeeming my points for a check. According to Ojae Barnes, Director of Opinion Outpost, "This process was slow and frustrating for everyone and we feel our new options will be a vast improvement." Although I agree the Amazon gift codes are a good addition, I am not so sure about the Citi prepaid debit card. Some people find prepaid debit cards more of a hassle then helpful. If I were to redeem my points for a Citi prepaid debit card I would make sure I had a substantial amount before doing so, not only because of the fee but also so that it won't be as much of a hassle to use.
What is your opinion of this change? Do you prefer getting paid via check or are you excited about the prepaid debit card? Or maybe you are wondering why move to a prepaid debit card when going through PayPal is faster and safer, I know I've been wondering about that question myself!
