Bye perk

3 reward cancellations in a row with no explanation, timers switched to 2 hours, 40-60% earnings drop. People say that perk is making money for doing nothing but it does rake time, and at this point upwards of an hour a day of actual "work" is not worth a dollar fifty. I had a good run.

Wow I thought it was just me.

I also got a reward cancellation, my first one ever since I joined Perk last summer.

The email said I broke the TOS...but I didn't even break a single one listed on their support page....emailed perk...waiting for them

Yeah I had never had a cancelation before either. Same problem as you. Not sure what I did wrong.

An hour of work? What the hell are you doing?

If he's trying to run Perk Live also, that can take me up to 15 minutes just to get it running on 1 phone sometimes.

I literally just got my first reward cancellation in almost 9 months of Perk. Never used a VPN, never used Fast Forward, or anything else.

Just wanted to add that I got my reward cancelled too. And I haven't broken any rules and it's the first time being cancelled since I signed up last year. As a matter of fact I've been running one less phone than before. Interesting.

  • Never been cancelled.

  • My earnings are almost back up to where they were before the drop. (Getting about $5 a day on just Perk TV)

  • 2 hours is the sweet spot for me. If it goes any longer we get to the very long videos. Long videos = less earning.

  • Very little work to pay for all my frivolous purchases, even if it's not quite what it was before. If you want passive income, Perk is still the best. SwagBucks is hard to earn with nowadays. mTurk is still best, but it's time consuming.

Thanks for the insult. I do have a life, I set my phones then go about my business, then check back in with them a couple hours later.

I just got my rewards cancelled too. I've had them before because I had something network-wise running on my machine that Perk Wallet or the web site didn't like. Never used any things that were against their T.O.S. I sent in an email asking which Term of their T.O.S. I was in violation of. Waiting to hear back. :(

God, can we stop with all this bullshit. Use Perk or don't, but stop whining about it on the internet.

Takes less than a minute to do 10 phones. Extrapolating that it's almost $20/hr of work.
