QuickThoughts - Earn Rewards 17+

Ok so I downloaded this app a little under a month ago in hopes to earn enough enough iTunes credit to buy an in app purchase on one of my favorite games (that I swear to never spend real money on). At first, everything went well. I took some surveys, and began racking up dollars. However, I began to notice that I would get 90% through some surveys and suddenly have a “glitch” that would force me to have to click cancel. It was a well placed “glitch”, because the survey would get what they wanted out of me but not actually have to reward me. In addition, the game DOES NOT give you unlimited surveys, after you use up the surveys on your dashboard there appears to be a “find more surveys” option, but it only works about 50% of the time. I estimate that the app only is willing to give you about 20 surveys a day, if which maybe 5 of which you will qualify for and be able to receive the reward. Also, if you need this app real fast, maybe if there’s a sale on a game or in- app purchase, you are out of luck. You can’t redeem a gift card until 72 hours from downloading this app. Last, this app is extremely glitchy, and does not let you turn it horizontally which some surveys require. Be warned, this app, while it seems cool, is only really good if your desperate.

So I had been using this app for a while and after redeeming for gift cards I didn’t get them. I contacted them and got told this.
Unfortunately, the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged, and upon review of your account, we have been forced to suspend your account.
As a member of our program you may only have one account, provide accurate profile information and survey responses. You must also be thoughtful and attentive in responding to our surveys. When we have concerns about any of these program rules we are obligated to take steps to investigate and unfortunately suspend accounts.
We do not take account suspension lightly and do so only when account issues have been identified. At this time your account has been indefinitely suspended and you will no longer be able to participate in surveys or claim rewards from our website.
When ask what they felt I did they couldn’t say. I feel that they didn’t want to pay because I had been earning quite a few rewards. It also seemed that more than once lately when I didn’t get my gift cards and I contacted them they told me that I needed to go in the app and hit to resend the gift card which never worked. Now today after my last email where I said that I thought this was because I did so well. I get one that says that my account has been permanently suspended and not indefinitely as they said in the email above. If you decide to download just beware.

Okay, so...
Granted I am “intelligent” according to standardized testing yada yada...but I got shut down temporarily for apparently answering questions too quickly. Once they reviewed the surveys I’d taken, they decided to reactivate my account. My only problem with that is that they could’ve handled it a lot better than just shutting me out and making me wait a week in order to understand why they shut down my account without notice. What was happening is that the computer assumed I may not have been actually answering the questions but just trying to put whatever answer in, in order to get past to the next screen and be done with it, in order to get the pay for it. In actuality, I’m an extremely fast reader, like, very fast. Once they read my responses, and realized I wasn’t actually trying to cheat the system, they reactivated my account with all the previous money I’d earned, so in all fairness, they did fix the problem fairly quickly...for this kind of an app, a week isn’t that bad of a turnaround time, I suppose. Just be aware. That said, if you’re willing to invest the time for a small payout, it does add up over time. Having a $10 iTunes credit here and there for answering a bunch of questions at my leisure is a decent deal.
