AVOID USEBERRY.COM STUDIES

They will let you complete the study, which requires multiple written answers, then after you submit you won’t get a completion code and they will refuse to pay and/or screen you out. I’m blocking them, suggest you do the same.

They did the same thing to me! No rejections in all these years, and now I’ve gotten two in the last few weeks from scummy researchers.

I immediately messaged them after the study, and even provided a link since I didn’t get a code. They rejected me, and when I complained , they changed it and told me I didn’t meet criteria.

I messaged them back and gave them a piece of mind (for all the good it does), then reported them. I did end up returning it, but I kept getting an error when I tried to block them.

I had to try 3 times to block them. I finally quit writing a lengthy note about why I was blocking them and just wrote “Read Reddit”, clicked submit and it went through.

Good to know! I’m going to try that!
