If you answer a question in one survey that you make 100K a year and then in the next survey you say 200K a year, they will know that and will flag you for fraud.
We have one member that we have had HALF of their surveys reversed in the last month because they decided after the fact on all of them that there was something that they didn't like.
They are tracking you across rewards sites, across surveys, etc. I've been locked out of two survey companies myself in the last month and I take MAYBE 10 test surveys a month.... total across all of the companies. But sometimes I honestly forget things like the amount of my car payment or what email address I used the last time I took a survey through that site. For them, those are fraud flags.
From what I am hearing, it's going to get harder and harder to get surveys for people who take them regularly. For people who just do them every once in awhile, they will be fine. But for people who take them daily, they are going to keep finding ways to crack down.
As for the OpinionsPay tech issues, I am really confused what is happening. They ran a report on both scard and jtowner and sent it to me of every single survey you have clicked on this month. This is from their survey router back end. They show MANY "start survey do not completes" but I think thinking some of these are the ones that errored out at the end? They don't show them as completed. They show that you didn't complete. So I think if something like that happens again, I need any possible information you can give me. Like if there is any information in the URL of the last page? Or maybe even go back a page when it happens and see if there is anything in the URL that can help? They are tracking them by "click date/time" "PID" and "token" and "TPS Data" plus your IP address and userid.
