I have been flagged

Alas my favorite and most profitable survey site has been flagged. I can no longer participate.
Its pay scale was so much higher than any of the others I should have known it was not sustainable. Much like old Bubble site.
I keep getting a video in my Facebook feed saying I should come back. I clicked on the comments and there are many people who just like me have been removed from participation. Usually when they try to cash out. I am lucky, I cashed out for $25 last week. I did not lose much.
I will just have more time here and other places, I guess.
At least they told me.
About three years ago another site or two just quit sending me notices.
My guess is that I am just too old.

Do you mind my asking which site? Pinecone Research just all of a sudden closed my account. I'm assuming it was because I was too old. What really ticked me off was that I had money in my account. This happened several years ago. Have a good day.

Pinecone did that to me a few years back as well. Someone said I was too old for them. This week it is Crowdtap.

@GardenGerty Pinecone accepted me again. I'll make sure I cash out regularly if I get ANY surveys that I qualify for. I'm surprised Crowdtap would do that.

Crowdtap--I think I am too boring for them.

What site? I make tons of money on one. I would be devastated if I couldn't participate any longer.Why would they possibly flag you?

@snowy22315 Most of the time I got a lot. As I think about it though the problem may be that they did not record answers correctly and they would say things in surveys like "previously you told us you shopped for a thingamajig, and bought one, but did not like to use it. Why do you not like to use it?" when I actually said I did not shop for a thingamajig, did NOT buy one and would not touch one with a ten foot pole. That made it impossible to answer the survey that said I bought it as no answers fit.

@GardenGerty Oh that site is a pain in the neck. They used to be good, now I am getting hardly any squares to work on. They were taking a long time to send out the giftcards too.

It happened to me today. No reason at all. All surveys I do are honestly answered. I cashed out $25 on the 14th and haven't received it. I sent a message to support. Wondering if a class action will go eventually. Hearing so many having this issue.

@GardenGerty Yes. I received a canned response to my support ticket so wrote again. I think it needs to go as a class action now. They are taking a lot of gift cards from people doing this.
