I probably completed about 15 of those surverys, doing exactly as the instruction said. and its been 3 days. and PW refuses to give me the zen I'm owed.

These so called "free offers" are a joke, and a scheme to get you to spend money on other things. Thats not exactly "free"

I have about 20 gold just sitting in limbo, because they wont award it, even though I had never done the offers before.

    They removed the word "free" from "free zen offers". Now its just "earn zen". Nothing is free in this world.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I think you have to input your cell phone number first.

    I myself refuse to give my cell phone number, cause they'll just spam my cell, up my payments, and eventually I'll just have to change my number. All the other offers require payments after the free trial, ect, so it's all **** in my opinion. All of the free offers come with a price in one way or another.

    Yeah well some of them say you dont have to do anything besides give information. My cell phone is on the US Do Not CAll list.. so i wont get calls anyways.

    Even still. I could copy/paste an entire page of offers that I filled out EXACTLY, that are still being processed for the last 3-4 days now

    I submitted an inquiry to one that promised me zen copying the email I recieved as proof. They sent me a message saying I would get a response in 3 days.

    That was over a week ago.

    I did quite a bit of them and they do work, lol...though, majority are still 'viewed' but are 'still in progress' or whatever it is.

    The total I probably earned was about 5$ worth of Zen, lol. The offer place thing I had most success with was the Gambrit or Gambit or whatever it's called. The other two? Not so much. Didn't even bother contacting Customer Service.

    But yeah, when it came to filling out the phone number one, I gave a bogus one because I do not take it too kindly when a zillion people call me in the morning every day when I try to sleep.

    Some of them are valid and reputable. I did the "Trial offers" for Netflix & Blockbuster and promptly cancelled once the Zen had been credited. 2898 Zen later, not a penny was actually charged.

    Things to note: Some of the offers say "In Minutes", some "In Hours", and ones like the Discover Card offers, "In Days" (below the amount of Zen they offer).

    They're not ALL worthless, just be wary of which ones you try out.

    Um... thanks? Looks right to me. Though I don't think "Kephras" is acknowledged by any spell-checkers yet. Still have to reach that godlike status... b:surrender

    Submit your phone number to a spam list, you will receive spam calls. The 'do not call' list is a joke. The crafty telemarketers ID themselves out of the country, or with bogus numbers, so you can't tell who is actually calling you, and when you ask what company they actually represent, they'll just hang up on you.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    The only reason PWI came up with those scam "free zen" offers is because their european PW competitor started an identical scheme a few weeks before them.

    I did get like 2.3 gold for doing the surveys when the program first started again. However like the third day I did some more(where there was a ton of them) and I am still waiting for over 300 zen total from different offers..
    I even have the email to prove that I did them. I have been waiting for like a week now and still no new zen..

    I did send in something to customer support about missing zen and still nothing.

    Some are good and some aren't

    Netflix, blockbuster, time magazine, all good ones

    as far as surveys go

    Stay AWAY from Mysurvey.com they claim they are unable to confirm I did it, yet Im getting spam emails from mysurvey.com.
