So I have been a member of this survey site, MyView, for at least six months now. I have qualified and completed a number of surveys, but every time I try to check my rewards, it tells me that "These technical things take time" and asks me for confirmation numbers, which I don't have, because no other survey site asks me to keep these. So I decide to contact them to see whats up. I write this whole long message, then it tells me that my email is not a valid email, even though it IS. What do you have to say about MyView?

Have you been paid by mysurveys before? I am always looking for more survey sites to join - I seem to have pretty good luck from them for the most part! I have hear a lot of mixed reviews about myview. I think that they used to be a very legitimate site, but I read something today that said that the person in charge of customer service has been "having trouble" whatever that means.

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about the site. It was offered to me through a very trusted site that is better business bureau approved, so I thought that it might be a decent site to earn a little extra from. All of the reviews I have read lead me to believe that the site used to be well maintained, and now it is not.

I don't know anything about this particular site as I don't do surveys, but there was a discussion here on myLot about it 2 years ago. Check out what they were saying then. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1287375.aspx At least we know they've been around for a while. Hope you get your payment.

I never joined this site before, because the survey site always rejected me after I fill up my information on the profile. So, I decided not joining any of them. From your case, it sounds like they were intentionally not going to pay you. So, no matter how you want to pursue this case, they might just find some excuses to deny you. Good luck!

I'm so sorry that you haven't gotten any payment. I haven't used this site and definitely won't now. There are so many scams online this is the first site that I signed up with and I generally go and check what everyone here has to say before I join anything else. Best of luck getting your money!

Are you interested at all with joining any sites that actually do pay? I have quite a few that I actually earn from, that I have been paid with. If you want some sites, let me know.

My understanding from reading their website, is that there is no minimum for payment through paypal. However, I have completed 3 surveys for them. I track all of my surveys with a spreadsheet. The first survey I did was 3 months ago. I have yet to receive payment for any of the 3 surveys. So, it seems that they are either taking a very long time to pay, or not paying at all. I will not do any more surveys for them until I see payment.

Yeah, I wish I had thought to keep track of my confirmation numbers, but I usually don't have problems with sites, so I haven't been. Maybe I'll bee singing a different tune from now on.

Hello rebelmel; I don't know that site. Did you try to write to webmaster@myview? Another thing you could try. Check myView at Alexa.com If it's there, ususally, you will get some contact info. Good luck. Hurray
