I tried to fill out the surveys and got nothing. Shortly after receiving nothing, I started getting telemarketing calls to apply for loans and colleges. It is a scam that is followed by telemarketing. When they asked for a credit card, they also asked for my cell phone number. I will not do this again.
I did a lot of surveys and free offers today and yesterday. The surveys seem to always reward Zen if you can complete them without getting "Oops! You don't meet our demographic requirements." The trials and offers seem to be 50/50. I've opened tickets on some of them but no response yet.
The scam about this is that before you even get the Oops message you have already divulged enough information to have filled out a survey. 1. sex, 2. age, 3. location, 4. own a dog 5. Ethnicity.... Oops you don't qualify....
from what i found, during the first week, maybe 2 (or maybe your first 20 surveys) they wont give you any "support" credits. meaning you cant get anything for your effort if your survey completes but the end of survey redirect is broken unless you stick with them for a while. i have gotten about 3 maybe 4 or so credits back on surveys that say they completed but didnt credit me.
i do feel that several surveys that were asking your race, age, income, etc at the end of the survey and then disqualify you are actually lying and are just not wanting to give you credit. again, i feel you should get credit for your time EVEN if your disqualified. you had to answer 30 questions before you got disqualified because you dont like sports games enough? you should get AT LEAST 15 zen. and i really do think they need to prescreen the "offers" as there are tons that are saying "free" but having you buy stuff or never credit you for giving your email address to get spammed. they also have tons of repeat offers. like there is about 5-8 that all say you have to submit some sort of eye file and they all give different amounts of zen.
anyone know if there is a suggestions forum for them? i have more suggestions like a option to remove an offer from being shown to you so you can capture new ones coming up

I did some stuff and got my zen.. It took a couple weeks though it seemed.. Had given up on ever getting it then one day it was sitting on my account balance.. Looks like it normally works, just takes FOREVER!!! I won't do anything that requires my personal info though so there are not many surveys I am eligible for

I think what happens is this, you filled out personal information to a third party. They can likely sell that to other people to make profit. Since you willingly gave your information out. It cost around 240 Zen just to respec once, most of these offers only give 5-10 Zen.
It's simply not worth the time and the information that will be there forever just to have a few extra zen points. I know people must eagerly be writing it in, but your information is priceless and it could do real damage in the wrong hands.
you create an alternate identity that you can use for the personal info bit and you answer the surveys truthfully.
it has worked for me and i am giving them what they want just not allowing them to sell personal information afterwards.

telephone numbers just use a (your real area code) with a 555-xxxx number most companies do not check for this and it is known that this range of numbers is not valid and used mostly in movies and TV shows. another option is to use the famous prepaid ""Burner"" phone as that phone number will always technically be valid even if your phone is no longer used
for your address go to your local post office and locate the highest number they have for PO boxes. use any value above that to result in a completely valid looking but unroutable address that will not give spam to a random neighbor
They work. You just have to be qualified. The problem is getting 3/4 of the way through a survey and answering a question which disqualifies you, thus wasting the time you've put into it. You should get a % of the zen for how far you make it through surveys when they have outrageous specific requirements.
I look for the big zen offers (trials and stuff) and then just immediately cancel. Got 1700 for freecreditscore, which I immediately cancelled via email. But I'm also an adult with access to things like prepaid credit cards, which I don't mind putting out there.

really? I personally will never use them again.
Also, since you people don't seem to understand... DON'T GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION.

So you're saying you gave them wrong information for the zen?
