Bizrate

Just started Bizrate and took my first survey and got my 200 points and the magazine subscriptions. I said oh for $2.00 I got 4 magazines. My charge card was charged. Right now waiting to receive first magazine in the mail. But on next survey I was 10 minutes into it and glitch happened and computer froze. Lost my survey and could take it again. So 30 minutes of my life was lost. Got another survey and about 30 minutes into taking survey again a glitch. Same result. Now i am concerned about additional charges on my credit card for the magazines

We placed a Clinique order on-line and thought the $100 gift for completing the survey was going to be in Clinique products. As we completed the lengthy survey and got to the end we saw it was magazines, with automatic renewal and shipping costs so we backed right out. Guess what happened -it still went through even we had not completed the survey and backed out. This verges on fraudulent activity.
We called Clinique as that was the only source for credit card info and even their Corporate Office could not help. Clinique stated we would have to Google Bizrate as they have no phone number and take it up with them. We explained this survey was part of our order with them and they should be taking care of it. Clinique refused - they have lost a customer of 35 years and should be ashamed.
As far a Bizrate -stay as far away from their surveys as you can.

DONT BUY HERE! I recently worked for over 2 years at a spa tub cover making company. This company is family run by a single owner. One of the reasons I left the company is that the owner lies and commits fraudulent business with the customers. I probably made your cover. Product upgrades are offered, charged, and paid for that do not even exist. The customer has no idea they are paying for a fictitious upgrade.these are on the website. This is unethical and literally stealing from the customer. These can be found on the websites. Vapor barrier we use is 4 mil, and 6 mil. They double up 4 mil for a double barrier. That's It! His site offers standard 4 mil, "double thick" for +$20, "triple thick" for +&29, and "double thick double wrap" fir - $41. These are fictional and do not get done and do not exist. Also foam density He has is 1# and 1.5#. His sites offer 1#, 1 5# and 2#. He got rid of 2 # foam years ago and keeps it in the computer as an option. Stating no customer would ever know. The upgrade on a 2# oversize density is +$277 dollars. He sells 2# upgrades all day to poor unsuspecting customers and people who get 1 5 # get the exact same thing. His sites also talk about oven moisture free foam. That's a lie the foM sits outside a lot of the time getting rained on. The plastic is sealed by hand using a stick to push the air out holes are taped up with box tape. This company acts as two companies as well. Beyond nice.com, and spacoverinc.net. They are the same location and same dirty small shop

I just took a survey that Bizrate Rewards emailed to me. It says, "Earn up to 750 Points by taking a quick 15 minute survey.". So I take the survey and it takes about 10 minutes and when I come to the end of it, I get a message from Bizrate saying, "The survey has reached it's quota... 50 points will be added...". WTH! I just took time out to answer questions about my healthcare and then I get a message saying the quota was reached. This isnt the 1st time this has happened. Why answer questions, if you only get screwed by Bizrate in the end?
You need to change something or you won't have anyone to take your surveys. This isn't fair to people who take time out of their day to answer questions.

I was just filtered through what I considered to be five surveys, none of which was worth any points, to find out that I didn't meet the criteria for the point bearing survey. The screening surveys are seldom brief. I was redirected to another point bearing survey that had two screening surveys to get through to determine if I was a candidate. The whole process took an hour and a half. I finally finished the point survey, which took another half an hour, and was awarded a total of 250 points.
Considering you have to earn a minimum of 5000 points to even qualify for a $5 gift card, your time is worth pennies per hour. Do this only if you have nothing else to occupy your time.

I think I got sucked into this survey site because after doing some online shopping, a popup asked me to review my experience. I guess I wasn't paying attention and didn't uncheck the box to join up. At first I thought I would try it and the experience was pretty good at first. I racked up about 1100 points and then I stopped having any success with any of the surveys given to me. I get emails from them about new surveys but upon starting them am told that I don't qualify. It'll find me new ones with the promise of "Based on your profile, you qualify for this survey." Okay, that sounds good. I haven't answered many questions of the new survey when I'm suddenly kicked out and told I'm not a good fit or I don't qualify. So they think I qualify based on my profile, but then I actually don't. And, yes, my profile is pretty much complete, so there's no excuse there. I thought it was fun at first but now it's really off-putting to be wasting my time for nothing. I haven't been able to finish a survey and get compensated for them in months. Not sure what I can do with the 1100 points. I was told a few more surveys can get me an eGift Card. How many more is "a few"? Not sure I want to continue if I'm just never going to be able to successfully complete any of these surveys anymore.

They sent me numerous shipping dates when in reality they were out of stock. I see this is a common issue after reading reviews
