January 2010
I joined Snap Dollars September 15, 2006. It took 'til November 2009 to have enough in my account to cash out and now they refuse to pay me. I cashed out Nov 17, 2009 and my new balance dropped to zero, as expected. Then the last week of December the money showed up in my account again, and I saw that they're withholding my check, claiming not to have my mailing address. I gave it to them, as required, when I cashed out. How could they have lost it? Meanwhile, they require I keep reading their emails 'til I receive my check: this of course makes more $ for them.
$$$$$$$$$
I tried again, the last week of December, to cash out, though this would have required an additional 2 months wait, but they took away the cash-out button. The internet is full of complaints against them for fraud and failure to pay. Here's my gmail for other victims who wish to contact me about taking legal action and filing criminal charges. They're HQ is in Toronto. Anyone there know who to contact to press charges? reformonlinesurveys@gmail.com

I finally heard from 'Snap Dollars support' today, and now they are giving me a different excuse for not paying, in addition to still claiming not to have my mailing address. (I gave this to them more than once and downloaded and saved this page.) Now Snap Dollars is claiming that they won't pay me because I don't have at least $15 in sign-up offers. I have more than $15 in this category, even though they have often failed to credit me for sign-up offers and for completed surveys. Furthermore, sometimes after emailing them (usually several times), they'd credit me by placing the amount in the 'miscellaneous' category rather than credit me under sign-up offers.
$$$$$$$$$
Before I could reach the $30 minimum to cash out, they raised it to $40. This forced me to continue as a member for an additional year in order to be able to cash out. This obviously did not work for them so they've just lowered it to $30 again. But it's a moot point, since they don't pay up regardless.
$$$$$$$$$
Snap Dollars has caused me much stress and mental anguish, not to mention the many, many hours of my time over these past 40 months, and still counting. Because there are so many others with complaints against Snap Dollars, I've created this blog.

Tips on nailing these crooks:
Save your emails to and from Snap Dollars, including any correspondence with their "support." Download your survey history every so many days.
Answers from support have been signed "Jen" or "Sean." Does anyone have their last names or other staff member names? Does anyone know if there are complaints filed against them with the Canadian government?

I finally received my check from Snap Dollars in April but continued to maintain my membership for a full month afterward out of fear that the check would bounce. So far, so good, May 13th
