Branded Surveys is a scam. I would argue you should have stayed long enough to receive a payout. I got within several points of a payout, having taken almost every survey offered that I qualified for. I skipped one that wanted to track my computer for a year. Then all of a sudden I was blocked from taking any more surveys. I contacted support and I was sent an email saying my answers weren’t “thoughtful.” Total BS. I answered truthfully, deliberately and thoughtfully on every survey I participated in. This was an excuse to cut me off after a week of surveys before they had to pay out. I want to know how often that happens. I suspect it’s very common indeed.
