I used to be one of those people who b:cry cause the game is so damn expensive and i dont have money to spare to buy gold with. But i saw the earn zen through offers and i got about 7 gold from it doing free surveys. However this feature is so **** and never gets updated. So if anyone wants a good a quick gpt site to get gold PM me and ill send you a link. This is not advertising i just want to let people know that there is a way of getting gold without paying for it.


BTW so far ive got 50 gold through doing offers on the GPT site i use b:pleased. (10 gold takes average about 2 hours)

    Its a site where you can do surveys or sign up to sites and they give you points and with the points you can redeem gifts, and so if you want ZEN just redeem $10 ultimate game card

    BTW you dont have to give real information you still get the points

    I know about the offers.

    I do have a... pet-peeve about it too. As I am sure most people might be aware of, is that identity thieves, all they need to figure out you social security number is your birthday, name, and a number generator. Which most of those sites require you to enter when you sign up for their... offer.

    I have already done it a few times, but meh I am very reluctant to do it, seems pretty risky/like I am asking for someone to just come along and 'steal' my information, and use that information to then set up a account that I am unaware of. =x

    ....

    So aye if you think the sites are safe, and you can't spend cash on the game, then by all means have fun filling out all those pesky survey's, etc.

    What kind of message are you sending when you insult my intelligence? ~ Me ~ 5/29/2015 (Yes it is possible someone said this before just no idea who/where.)

    You dont have to give real information, i never do and so far ive got 50 gold. All i did was make a fake email account and use that for the surveys and stuff

    The FAQ about earning ZEN states that using false information puts you at risk of an account ban.

    You can get away with a fake e-mail I guess, but when they ask for your personal info (name, phone number etc.) then it's probably a bit more risky. I've never tried surveys though, do they only ask for an e-mail?

    Most of them ask for email + name. then all you have to do is confirm your email

    This is incorrect. Almost all of the "free" offers require full information except social security numbers. It's ridiculous really, I don't see any reason you should need to give your mailing address and phone number just to get the results to a "quiz". The phone number thing is the biggest thing for me. Also, some of those offers actually force you to use valid info, refusing to take an address and phone number that do not match. Also, I don't like how you are REQUIRED to select offers to view while "waiting for results". All those little "yes or no" offers there, yet you are REQUIRED to select yes to at least one. And to top it all off, it forces you to choose from the same offers 4-5 times, just mixing up their order on the list.
    Then there are the offers that, after all of this red tape, then want you to "complete silver/gold offers". I tested them out, and not completing these parts results in you not getting paid. Luckily, I have found a workaround: on the "silver offers" page, scroll down and click to move to the gold offers. Ont his page, there is no link tot he next, so you have to go up to the address bar, manually replace the word "gold" at the end of the address, with "Platinum" then proceed. On the platinum page, do this again, replacing the word "platinum" with "diamond" after proceeding, confirm via the email you used(hopefully a mule email for these sort of things) and "register your account password" . Make it something **** you don't care about.
    Bad thing is, for these "free" offers, you basically need to use a new identity complete with new information and email, or you won't get paid even if you complete it. I actually use the telemarketer numbers that appear on my caller ID for phone numbers(except for the offers which require an address and phone number to match, which I don't complete)

    Yeah I love it when it says "All these offers are optional, only select "yes" if you are interested"

    Then when you hit "No" on all of them.

    "You MUST select at least 4 offers from above"

    Damn liars lol

    Regarding the offers... No, thanks.

    Regarding surveys (like, actual market research surveys. Not "surveys" that take all your contact info and then spam you), you're a lot better off just using another service. Seems like whoever PW goes through tends to disqualify you before you even get to the actual survey's qualifiers. Also, they pay out considerably lower than some of the other sites I've been using. Finally, all the ones I've taken through PW's zen earning thing (last of which was around a year ago) tend to go through Opinions Here or Toluna's little thing (can't remember the name). They outsource surveys through a TON of other services, which means you have a lot of competition and you need really, really great and rare demographics to qualify for them. Which means they pay peanuts when you consider how many tries it takes to get in.

    So:
    1. Sign up for Paypal.
    2. Sign up for a separate email (legit ones don't spam you, but there's a few that aren't legit. Also, you get a ton of surveys once you fill out your profiles. It'll clog up your primary email address reallllly quickly).
    3. Find an actual survey site that doesn't suck.
    4. Get earnings sent to Paypal.
    5. Buy zen.
    6. That's it.

    It's a better use of your time. Also, if you get tired of PW, you can always just use the money left in paypal for another game. Or something else. Like your ebay addiction.

    That is why i made another email for surveys also after i get credited with the points i unsubcribe from them so i don't get spammed with junk

    As much money as I spend on PWE, and yet get constantly screwed on, I welcome some freebies. The hell if PWE's getting any more of my money.

    Send the link to me as well, if it's not too much trouble. It'd be much appreciated.

    This is very well put and if bored enough I might try this. Topping off the hilarity was giving them a cold calling telemarketer's number. b:victory

    I don't think you, the advertiser, help the situation at all with a testimonial. Just saying.

    Also, teehee. Norton. Are you reading this forum via AOL?
