Scam Not Paid For Completing Survey
- - Invited to a travel survey; an app tracked trips.
- - Promised a $20 egift card; Walmart chosen.
- - PIN and numbers useless; barcode needed.
I received a postcard in the mail inviting me to participate in a travel survey in which I downloaded an app to my phone. The app tracked my car trips each day for several days.
At the end of the survey, I answered a set of questions. I was promised compensation of $20 in the form of an egift card upon completing the survey. I was given a link to a page where I could select a store of my choice for the gift card. I chose Walmart.
I was then given a set of numbers and a PIN to use the gift card. When trying to use the gift card, the Walmart store would not accept it without a barcode. They told me this twice on visits to the store. The corporate office also told me the egift card is no good without a barcode.
They cannot just enter numbers to honor it. After almost a month of emails to the survey representative and the company who issued the egift card the issue is still not resolved. They claim that I don't need a barcode and Walmart is claiming that I do need one. Walmart said if they just enter numbers in the system, it could be codes from someone trying to break into their system.
I have wasted my time doing this survey and received nothing but a set of useless numbers. This survey is a SCAM.
- Scam company
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: DO NOT complete a survey for these people unless you have time to waste. You will not be paid!
