Will give this a try...thanks

Thank you, Maria36... appreciate the post!

Maria, you always bring a lot of new survey sites to SD. Thanks so much for sharing :hug:

It says that I was accepted. I do not work, but I had to enter some type of work that I do :lol: I hate to lie, but I didn't have an option. They could have had the option of "not currently employed" I am a full time student, and there wasn't anywhere to put that.

Thanks for the post. I will have to see how this goes. I am never lucky at winning anything. I never wiin at contests, instant win games, etc...:rolleyes:

You had no option so you had to lie? You did not have to lie. I wish people would stop changing their demographics to get into surveys. It's about integrity people.

thanks

I don't think that's actually considered a real survey as they didn't pay anyone to complete it, just an application to join the site and later participate in surveys. Just because she isn't currently working doesn't mean she doesn't have a valid opinion, and likewise a value as a consumer. She should have just put "business consultant" as her profession as I'm sure many people ask for her opinion all the time and we all enjoy minding other people's business, don't we?? Pretty much isn't that what a business consultant means?? HeeHee.... . :nod:

thanks!

This is a brand new site, therefore no one knows yet.
Let's hope it's a very quick way to earn lots of points/money! ;)

I agree somewhat about the employment options. There should have at least been "other"as a choice. Maybe the company hasn't figured that out yet. idk

1000 points = $1. sounds inflation is everywhere now.

apparently, lots of points =\ lots of money

Thanks

thanks

Thanks, gave it a go - and it gave me the opportunity to put full time homemaker, but still required that I put business information. So, I put that I worked as a Funeral Director in the restaurant business. Hopefully someone checking that information will be smart enough to figure out that isn't true. If not, I guess this isn't going to work for me.

Thanks OP.

signed up, Thanks!

:) HI everyone, I must have signed up for this when it was posted here and I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I received a survey from them today. I had to do a search here to see if it was a real survey company because I didn't remember the company name. It is for 5000 points and says 30 mins. but didn't take that long. Good luck!:nod:


"You have been chosen from thousands of panelists of urban-DNA to participate
in the next survey. This survey will take approximately 30 minutes. When you
complete the survey, you will receive 5000 urban-DNA points that you will be
able to exchange later for Visa gift cards."

I got that survey earlier this evening too. Nice to finally get a survey from them :)

I just did the survey from last night, can anyone log into their account and cash out (cuz apparently 5000 points is enough for a 10 gc).

I cant find anyplace to redeem on their site.I emailed them last night but havent received a reply yet.

Same here emailed and i can not log in no email back as of yet

I emailed them yesterday as well becuase the log-in seems to not work. No reply as of yet. I'll post when (if) I get something. Did anyone join that other panel off of this (Noiz-E)? You have to do journal entries everyday and then you get a 50 GC at the end. Just wondering if it would even be worth it.

I got the email about it, but decided not to do it due to the shifty nature of the site.

:mad: I can't log too.

Me either. Boooooo!

Has anyone heard back from them yet? Still cant log in to redeem the $10 visa

I emailed them awhile back, and never heard a word back from them.

I'm doing the journal thing for Noiz-e. If it pays out great... if not I've had 4 minutes a day wasted. So meh.

Wut? Bug?

No.Just get errors.Cant log in,cant redeem and nobody answers emails.

I think you had to be signed up through the original website (urban dna) and then they sent emails. It may be over now though from the looks of it.

Heads up:

When I log in to my Noiz-e account I can check my points at the bottom. these are my Urban DNA points. (I ordered a gift card). For those of you not participating in this but who are Urban DNA members try logging in here instead.

Thanks tons! I got to redeem for $10 as well :D

I got an email this evening that they were having glitches etc. I forgot I had even signed up with them. I was then able to create a username and password....and cashed out for my $10 gift card.

I have some invites if anyone wants one

Has anyone who cashed out received anything yet?

Has anyone who cashed out received anything yet?

No, nothing. I cashed out on 11/19/08 and it had said 4-6 weeks, so still within the time frame, but I'll be really surprised if/when it comes.

nothing as of yet...

Clicked the link and this is what I got:

Your total points earned: 6250
Your total points redeemed: 5000
Your current points balance: 23250

Redemption Request

I think it's funny someone earlier was complaining about someone being forced to lie. I just told the survey I do not OWN a car but they are making me fill it out anyway??? OK... saying it is not complete unless I check off a car. I also had the same student problem.

Have not recieved any surveys yet

Emailed them and this is what I got back after months of waiting:

Allow me to introduce my name is Paris and I am the President of Urban DNA
I apologize for the delay in replying to your email. I was not aware that
the person in our company who is responsible for monitoring all the email
accounts was not doing so. This was brought to my attention over the
weekend while we have addressed and the individual is no longer working for
us. Please know that I am slowly trying to reply to each and every person.

You are correct, since you completed the Noiz-E journals you should have
received your gift card prior to the holidays, and I apologize that did not
happen, I have confirmed that you did participate in the Noiz-E journals
so I will make sure your $50 gift card in processed and out to you this
week.

Again, I apologize for the delay, we appreciate your participation in the
journals.

sounds like thev'e had some problems.. your email explains why I got this message last night.



I forward your email to our programmer and he will reply with your login
information.

I had emailed them Nov 19th.. and just got this reply...

Yep.Just got that check today from Inflexxion.Hope you get your soon.

Currently Noiz-E projects are by invitation only. You will be notified by e-mail whenever you are eligible to participate.


Is it possible to send invites?

Yea! I just got my $70 from them as well.:bounce:

I got paid today as well! Hooray!!!! But who sends cash anymore besides my grandma?

Oooh glad I saw this thread. I just sent an email to them regarding the Noiz-E journal I did last October/November and never got a thing for. Plus the redeemed Urban-DNA points I ordered a $10 gc with and never got either. Hopefully I'll get a response, otherwise I know it's a scam.

I'll check it out.

I finally got an invitation for a survey. i completed it and recieved 2000 points

I got that one also.

For anyone that emailed Urban DNA. How long did it take to get a response? It really sucks that I did a journal for a full month back in October & November and never got my promised incentive. :(

And for those hoping you get the GC, good luck.... I 'cashed out' for a 10.00 gc too with all my points and that never came as well. It sucks to be scammed.

Anyone having trouble logging into their account? It says that my e-mail doesn't exist with them, even though I just got a survey AT that address.

It took them about a week to respond to my email,and then another 2 before I got my money. They sent cash instead of the gift card. hth good luck

Cool, Thanks

Did you email to the contact mail on the Urban-DNA page or did you mail to a special mail? I guess more emails are in order then. I emailed about 3 weeks ago. Or get the hubby to mail, He has an MBA so knows what to say to businesses and corporations.

Heads up. Just got an email for a 4500 pt survey. Didn't qualify.

How can you check your points balance on this site? I always get 404 Error : Page does not Exist :(

Thanks! I just checked and I have 8000 points. I think I'm going to just wait and see if I can earn 25000 for the $100 GC which is double compared to cashing out at 5000 since their point systems better if you wait and accumulate points.

5,000 points = $10.00 gift card
12,000 points = $25.00 gift card
18,000 points = $50.00 gift card
22,000 points = $75.00 gift card
25,000 points = $100.00 gift card

I cashed out and it took less than a month to get my payment. They sent cash instead of a gift card, though. No problem with me.

Me too :) did the survey from yesterday, the last time I cashed out it took like 3 months and I had completely forgotten about it when I received the 10 dollars cash in the mail.

Does anyone know how I can change my mailing address? Their site is broken in many places :(

i cashed out today :whee:

I got a survey today, and was able to cash out again.

Does anyone have any actual contact numbers or addresses for them? MBA hubby wants to go after them since they never paid me for my Noiz-E blog and have ignored all 5 of my emails. Thanks :)

They sent me a survey today for 4500 points.

i had completely forgotten about this site!! but yesterday i could cash out $10..and i wanted to check my address too,but cant seem to find. i ve written an email ..lets c.

i cashed out in march and still says pending WTH

I was afraid of that...I was reading through this thread.

I cashed out on 4/17. Has anyone got paid that cashed out around that time?

nope..still waiting

Prepare to wait.... this is probably the bitterness talking but never got my $60 from over 7 months ago.

I see in their FAQ that it says you should be able to choose paypal or check. That was not my option. It only said VISA gift card. I just sent them a email asking them when I could expect payment FWIW....

At this point, I just want to receive some form of payment from them.

you also? has anyone lately been paid

I cashed out again in mid April, but have not received payment yet.

you also? has anyone lately been paid

This will be my first time receiving payment from them. I am still waiting on a $25 Visa GC so it will be a complete surprise if it ends up showing up.

I got a 10 dollar bill from this site like 3 months ago, but in early april i cashed out again...I'm just gonna forget about it and if it shows up then super but I'm not really going to expect it.

i dont know how all of you have so many points to cash out :unsure:. i've gotten one or two surveys from them since this thread was started :sadwalk:

I have yet to join this, I waited around to see what some people thought of it....does anyone think its worth joining?

I also haven't been paid,and It's been a few months.

Cashed out 4/16 for $10 Visa, have sent 2 emails and nothing .......... :(

No $25 dollar visa either,cashed out In march/2009,still waiting .

Cashed out 4/16 for $10 Visa, have sent 2 emails and nothing .......... :(

That's when I cashed out sporty. I haven't gotten anything yet either. I hope it comes soon, my work shoes have holes and I told DH I'd be using it toward a trip to Payless!

I think it is a real shame that Urban is doing this. After I get paid(if I do), I am cutting the loose.

Me too. I'm still waiting as well and cashed out on 4/17. I've also sent two emails with no response.

I also cashed out in April and am still waiting. No response from them when I sent emails as well. I wonder if anyone has ever contacted survey police about them before?

I just submitted them to Survey Police so we can post complaints against them.

never got a thing--hang them out to dry!!!

I fully agree.

I submitted them as well! Hopefully they will realize there are lots of us!

I just checked my panelist account and it shows that I had redeemed on 4/19.

I realize most survey companies can take 4-8 weeks to send out a check or gift card but they can at least send back an email stating this!

Well....I can't even get into their website now. I get a page load error. Anyone else?

they prob skipped out of town and on to the next scam website

I cashed out on March 27, 2009 for a $10 Visa Gift Card and how not received it yet. It's still showing as "Pending" in my account. They don't respond to emails. Also, the phone # in their Privacy Policy doesn't work. In their Privacy Policy, they mentioned that they're a member of CASRO. I contacted CASRO and CASRO told me that's a lie, and that Urban-DNA is not a CASRO member. CASRO went to the Urban-DNA site to view the Privacy Policy.

Yep, I still haven't been paid either..

Has anyone received pmt from this site? I req pmt on 5-27 and have not received it yet.

Has anyone received pmt from this site? I req pmt on 5-27 and have not received it yet.

I requested a payment on 3/5/09 and then again on 4/16/09 and I have received nothing. I have emailed them numerous times and have gotten no response back. Anyone have a contact besides the "contact us" on their website? Very frustrating.

Has anyone received pmt from this site? I req pmt on 5-27 and have not received it yet.

You submitted a pending request on 12/08/2008 to redeem 5000 points I received a $10 bill from them on 03/07 with a very apologetic letter.

I received a payment earlier this year from a November 2008 request. But still have not received payment for a request from April of this year.
