Anyone else get a lower bonus than what was stated at the end of the Valery Pavlov HIT? It said 4.63 and she just gave me 2.63.

 

mine was approved my bonus said it was 6.86 and i only got 3.86 :/

 

I guess it time to write an email.

 

yup i sent them a message i think they included the pay as part of the "bonus" since everyone is missing that $3

 

I saw someone in TV get the full $4 some bonus confirmed.

 

they just replied and asked for me to forward the bonus email

 

The final bolded number in the last sentence of the HIT about the bonus is the survey pay *plus* your bonus. IDK if that's what you were going off of or the actual bonus amount.

 

FTR they paid me the $5.05.

 

What sucks is that there's another one out there that I just caught paying 3.00 with about the same in bonuses if what people have in TV is correct. I'm sure we can't do it again though, the one I did had a base pay of 2.00.

 

the way it was worded for me it literally said your bonus is 6.86

 

Yeah it was confusingly worded, but the first bolded number was your performance bonus, then they added the $3 and said your total bonus (i.e in this context your total compensation) was whatever the last number was.

 

well for me it was 6.86 that was bold

 

The total payment for successfully completing this HIT consists of two parts: the HIT reward of $3.00 (we also call it “Participation fee” for completing the study) and the performance-based bonus. The email you received says your bonus was $.3.86. Therefore your total payment was $6.86.

what a scam they word it to make it seem like you can make a up to $10 dollar bonus but they include your pay as part of it i think its a good paying hit still but now im wary for future hits

 

Is that what she replied? I remember my bonus 4.63 was highlighted + 2.00 ( I did the other version). Still waiting on a response.
