Hey guys I just wanted to ask, this surveys works?
Since I start playing (open beta first week) that I frequently check this option and its always empty...
It is broken or its just me? There is even an ad on the forum offering you free zen by this method O.o

    I have the same problem, there are no offers every time I check. Maybe it isn't available for my region/country.

    I'm in the United States and there's always offers when I check. Maybe try opening it in an incognito window if you're using Chrome (don't know what the terminology is for other browsers.)

    For clarification, I didn't suggest an incognito browser window to hide the IP routing. Sometimes extensions such as ad blockers or script blockers can mess up things like this. At least in Chrome, incognito browsers have all extensions turned off by default, so it is an easy way to check for errors.

    I'm sure magenubbie is correct in that Peanutlab Survey is United States only. A few years ago, I made a hobby and (very small) profit from online surveys. There are other survey companies that offer international surveys, so it would be nice if PWE did use some of these others along side Peanutlab Survey.

    Be aware that sometimes Peanut Labs will deny your zen award and you'll have to protest it with them and cryptic.

    Also, if you're like most people, about 90% of the free zen promo's they offer you don't even get a chance to complete.

    I live in Canada and I can usually get a few per week. But yeah I don't qualify for most of them.

    In Australia and get a few per week. Sometimes a survey will be completed and no zen, most times is ok.

    The offers (not the surveys) are dubious though and a lot do not pay out.

    You are basically selling your personal info and such for a few dollars. Personally I think that is a terrible idea. Because its not just he surveys they get - they also collect info on your pc and stuff like that as well in the background.

    However - no one says you have to tell the truth in these.
    See this thread. http://www.gamerzplanet.net/forums/gunz-general-discussion/396684-scamming-peanut-labs-effectively.html

    Also the reason why you don't get zen or w.e sometimes is that answering questions a certain way can disqualify you from getting it. Basically they do anything they can to avoid paying you for doing the survey.

    I've only had one issue where it says something about unable to contact a certain website, and to check back later. Other surveys work for me. I qualify for about 1/3. I get my Zen.

    I don't trust Penut Labs. I've spent a lot of time filling out their serveys, and at the end the same thing alwasys happens. They ask me a whole bunch of questions about my life and consumer habits (like a servey), and then tell me I don't qualify for the servey after I answer them all. It seams to me they are doing their servey and not paying out in the end. It's a scam.

    Closed for necroposting.

    Remember, surveys are looking for very specific demographics. Companies are paying PL a pretty penny for the opinions of a given demographic, and PL isn't just going to fork over the ZEN for free without your being able to meet those demographics. The questions you are being asked are NOT the survey--those are known as "prequalification questions".
