Read on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harris Poll pays no money for taking their online surveys; but when I joined this survey site, four years ago, they gave points, for surveys, supposedly to be redeemed for 'gifts.' I was working toward one of many of their small gift items in the 800 point portfolio; but before I could reach 800, they upped the requirement to 1,350. This is "bait and switch" and it's illegal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I finally have 1,350 points but now all they have to offer me is an icard which I can't use. Here's why:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I don't use credit cards, so a gift must not exceed $10, including postage. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Harris Poll used to cover the postage for their rewards, but no more: another bait and switch. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Harris Poll provides no link showing what's available with this icard. For example, the ad says I can select something from Macy's with this $10 but what?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Harris Poll told me that this is what their members want, but Harris &lt;em&gt;Poll&lt;/em&gt; didn't &lt;em&gt;Poll&lt;/em&gt; me, nor send an email warning me that we now need credit cards to collect a reward.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;*********&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;And read these conflicting statements:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1263605544_1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://amazon.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and iCard Certificates are fulfilled and delivered via e-mail. Amazon.com and iCard Certificates, including their available merchants, are available for online use only. If you select an Amazon.com or iCard certificate and use it to purchase an item higher in value then the denomination of the gift certificate &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;you will need to pay the remaining balance of the purchase, including any shipping and handling.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#990000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;There are no fees associated with the HIpoints program when receiving an item in any of our Folios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Please feel free to select an item you would like receive, point balance allowing, and we will ship it to you at no cost. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;*********&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;Harris Poll does not reward members for taking surveys; they punish us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;*********&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Harris Poll has been trading on their established name for many years, but it's time for the truth. Harris Poll sends me emails saying, "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your satisfaction is our number one concern&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;."  Needless to say, this is not true. This is another giant corporation that exploits free labor. I've been trying for months to collect my reward. How can you trust a corporation that lies and exploits people this way? You can't!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;*********&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;If you have complaints against this corporation, post it here or contact me at: &lt;a href="mailto:reformonlinesurveys@gmail.com"&gt;reformonlinesurveys@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2719825495557379832-4092850290182952137?l=reformonlinesurveys.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reformonlinesurveys.blogspot.com/feeds/4092850290182952137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reformonlinesurveys.blogspot.com/2010/01/harris-poll-is-unethical-and.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2719825495557379832/posts/default/4092850290182952137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2719825495557379832/posts/default/4092850290182952137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reformonlinesurveys.blogspot.com/2010/01/harris-poll-is-unethical-and.html' title='BEWARE OF HARRIS POLL ONLINE'/><author><name>Snap Dollars Online Surveys</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13184379320119776333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
