It looks like all my favorite sites are cutting back on what I can earn

And increasing the amount of effort I have to put forth to get there. Well, it's no longer a site I'll be visiting very much anymore. They took my progress and gave me the 'sorry no win' in the boxes then removed all my progress. It takes a long time to get that progress and more often than not I'd only get 1 cent but now I'm not even getting that. I'm not wasting my time there anymore. Are you on inboxdollars?
But on a brighter note, I set up Roscoes kiddy pool and he wasted no time taking a dip in it.

That's not good of them. That's what happened to me on Swagbucks too. They removed the poll survey which I answered daily; they removed the games that I play. I know it's a tactic for me to use their other apps in which I will have to input my phone number and get their app downloaded on my phone. But, no, sir, I'm not doing that. I'm out of there.

Seems to be like that at swagbucks, too. I used to be able to get 10 sb playing Pyramid solitaire, but about a month or two ago, they cut it back to 6 a day.

I noticed that too. I think every earning op except Mylot has had to cut back on what they give but inbox$$ is the sneakiest, first they simply slowed how long it would take to scratch and win and now they have this stupidity. It's not like they ever paid out that much to begin with and it always took quite a while to make payout.

@rebelann I quit that Swagbucks a long time ago..they are so sneaky and they would not reward me for the offers I did and tried to cut me off surveys.

Hey, it would be funny if he would wear sunglasses for a few secs..for a pic, or put some sunscreen next to him or a floatie or fake palm or something. A towel, or something and title it Roscoe's pool day! I had a site take away some of my points. I deleted them promptly.

@rebelann You know they did that to me once years ago, and I left, but so many people were liking it and saying good things that I went back, and I haven't been sorry.

@rebelann I know, we squeeze out all that we can, but it gets to a point where enough is enough. That's what made me stop a few years back - just didn't feel it was worth it anymore.
Come summer, he'll be wanting to go in it a lot !

It did pretty good for a few years but they do the up and down thingy depending on the ups and downs of the economy ...... I've reduced what I do there, no use wasting time on a site that does this to me, right?
He's only been in it once but then he's usually in the house when it gets super hot so maybe that why.

Oh yeah, they didn't mess with any of the accounts but now when I go to scratch off the scratch and win it'll show no win and they take whatever you've accumulated.

I have noticed that as well. I know that about 6 years ago the same thing happened and some sited closed down completely but Swagbucks managed to do a come back and now they are starting that all over again. It is a failing economy the world over I think.

Roscoe is a darling pup. Yesterday, somehow Rufus managed to get off our property. He headed over to our neighbor who has some kind of a pond. Rufus loves water!! Hubby really Fort Knoxed the fence so now we are back to not totally trusting Rufus. Arrrrrg.

He's a very smart dog, so typical of heelers. I'm learning that most of the herding type breeds are the smartest of the bunch outside of poodles who are deemed to be the smartest .... not sure I believe that thought .... Roscoe has outsmarted me way too many times but I found his weakness

Why do you think they are cutting back on awarding points or money? Maybe the economic policies these past few years and inflation. Is this a survey site? I hate doing them, so much time spent for little reward.
Just redeemed some of my points for Microsoft and got a $10 coupon for Starbucks. Can anyone say cafe latte, lol.
You would think that dog is part seal

I was getting ready to start a discussion about Inboxdollars and I decided to see if anyone else had this issue or it was just me. I have been using them for many years and never had any issues. A few years ago I started getting less but I kept doing things. Then recently it ever got more less!
Then last night I got the same thing as you got, " no win" and I have already money on there that I can't cash out!

He has not bathed since that day. Now he seems to enjoy being indoors where it is a lot cooler.

Yes, they did the same here but it has been gradual for the past few years.

I quit 90% of the sites I used to use. Either they raised their requirements to cash out or, as is the case more often, I was too old for their demographic profile. Roscoe looks like he likes his pool. Poor baby is so hot!

@rebelann I see. I do one survey site, belong to a couple of panels; and I have a device attached to my modem or router that tracks my browsing.
