What Programs Do You Plan to Scrap Once You Reach Minimum Payout For It?

Do you have any moneymaking programs and/or sites that you plan on letting go of once you've reached the minimum payout for it and cashed out? And why?
Me? I've already done it. After two years of using GlobalTestMarket and cashing out twice, I stopped using it. I found the wait to reach payout long and tiring.
What about you? Any sites you can't wait to reach min payout on so you can cash out and move the hell on?

I just scrapped Survey Spot yesterday. It used to be a great money maker but then they switched to points instead of dollars and it took 1000 to cash out. Lately I haven't qualified for surveys and they were also sending a LOT of surveys that paid nothing--and they took away the instant win game and the sweepstakes entries. So even though I had 400 points (took me 6 months to do even that) I quit!
I'm considering trashing Global, too. It takes so long to get enough points to cash out.
I'm keeping Opinion Outpost, that's a really good place. I made $7 there just last week!
Toluna will probably be trashed, too.

Hey dragon54u, 3SnuggleBunnies,
I wonder how many people they expect to stick around when they change the rules like that. I can understand it's within their rights to switch things up (or down, as the case may be), but if people start leaving, isn't it then to the site's detriment?
If I owned a survey site, I'd do what Pinecone Research do and recruit selectively, and as and when new recruits are needed. That's why it's usually so hard to join Pinecone. If you put a cap on recruits and members, then I'm assuming you can then have a better control on how money is shared, and the members get better compensation.

I scrapped Survey Spot a year or two ago. I wasn't anything at all!!! I don't think I ever got paid from them once!
I had asked about Toluna and most people said it wasn't as good as it used to be before it merged to become Toluna (not that I recall what it was before).

MySurveyCenter.
They have sent me one survey in the 4 weeks I have been with them. That is simply too low. Plus, I just get the "scam site heebey-jeebies" from that site.
Also, E-poll.
I got many surveys very fast, at first. I have just enough reward points to afford one kind of reward....a donation. Are you kidding me? I have a hard time believing that this is a coincidence.
I use many sites and most pay off, or at least provide opportunities, MUCH faster than these two stinkers. However, I never join one of these sites unless I have researched them thoroughly, and both of these sites received decent reviews so....

One thing I've noticed with some of the survey sites I'm with is that things get quiet for a good while, and then all of a sudden I start getting surveys from them often, enough to reach payout.
MySurveyCenter and E-poll don't sound too good though.

Well, I did hear some good things about them, I think I will take your experience into consideration. I have only been doing online surveys and things like that for about 4 weeks now. I will probably give them a month or two more.
Have you heard anything about MySurveyCenter and E-poll besides what I said?

Yeah, give them a couple of months, but in that time you could also see if you can find better ones. Check out SurveyPolice.com for a top 10 list of surveys (as rated by people who've used them). You might find one or two you're drawn to.
I haven't heard of MySurveyCenter before. E-poll sounds slightly familiar.

Ayuwage. I've already scrapped it. It paid well and paid on time and everything, but it's hard to get referrals for that site because people don't understand how to use it.. 
And it freezes my computer. Not that other sites don't, the real problem here is that I need a new computer.

Yeah, GlobalTestMarket can be like that. Have you found any survey sites that work for you?
