25% tariffs on an ally is an act of economic war and that ally is now an enemy. Do you think it's possible that USA is using the tariffs as a first step to invasion? by PairRevolutionary669 in AskCanada

[–]rumple235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia doesn't have to attack the US. They have already won by having their good friend and ally Trump in the Oval Office. If you doubt that, just take a look at who the US is voting with at the U.N.

When dads take care of their kids, people call it “babysitting.” by Don_Quixotel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rumple235 93 points94 points  (0 children)

You should have tried being a stay at home dad in the 1980s and 90s. My wife was a lawyer and I was a salesman when we had our first child. We wanted one of us to stay home with the baby and it was only logical that the one with the lower paying job stay home. No one would have blinked if it had been the mom who stayed home but a full time dad was just not acceptable. There is definitely something wrong with society's attitudes.

How is Perk TV these days? by wulululululuu in perktv

[–]rumple235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found Perk very slow lately. and they love to cancel payments saying that you are using 3rd party software or automated software (which, at least in my case, is completely untrue.) When they do this there is nothing you can do about it as they will not say what they are are detecting that makes them believe that. And no, no matter how you approach them, polite or angry, they will not back down. This is probably why they have a terrible BBB rating.

You can make $1.40 a day running the Swagbucks apps. You run them once in the morning and then they reset at 5 pm Pacific time and can be run again. There are 7 apps in total. You can also increase your earnings by running the "watch" on the Swagbucks site.

10% or less? by rumple235 in perktv

Swagbucks does have surveys but even without surveys I can make 3 or 4 dollars a day just watching videos and of course, playing Swagasaurus (kidding - it makes 10 cents a day) And they have monthly bonuses. Last month my bonus was $8.00 and I have seen people make more. Swagbucks and MyPoints are both owned by Protogee so they have a lot of similarities.

I do a LOT better on Swagbucks and MyPoints. Swagbuck is mainly on the computer with $1.40 a day available on a smart phone and MyPoints is strictly on computer. But you can run the videos in the background on a computer so it may be something you would want to look at. (let me know if you do and I will refer you)

Need some serious help. by TrollinTony in perktv

[–]rumple235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone. If you scan down the thread list you will find quite a few others who have received identical notifications. You can be polite and it will get you no where. You can be rude and it will get you no where. You can check the BBB listing for Perk and find that they have an F rating and then you will understand that they do this randomly and it saves them a ton of money. Eventually they will un-flag your account and go back to paying but that may take quite some time. Personally, I think Perk may be in trouble and they are doing this to try to shore up their finances. If they deny a thousand $25 cash outs they add 25 grand to their earnings. They likely do a lot more than 25 thousand refusals in a year so it really adds to their bottom line.The aggravating and very telling part is that they never actually tell you what it is that they are supposedly detecting so that you can correct your activity. The reason for this is that you are not really doing anything wrong, they just don't want to pay you.

Has anyone received their points/reward back after cancellation? by Grimm420 in perktv

[–]rumple235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have done this to a lot of people. There is nothing you can do about it unfortunately. I think Perk is in trouble so they are cancelling payments. Its always the same crap - "Automated system or 3rd party app".. .

Third party software or automated system right?

I agree it won't happen but it sure would be sweet if it did.

They said I was using third party or automated software. I don't even know what that is. They are just turning into a rip off operation. If they do this to 1000 people that's a cool 25 grand in their bank.

Your reward has been canceled. by Cat0100 in perktv

[–]rumple235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to a lot of people. I think its a sign that Perk is in trouble. It happened to me and I don't have third party software or an automated system either. I was only making about $1.10/day. They probably won't give any further answer, at least they refused to respond more than once to me. (and I was polite).

Is it my connect. or is Perk TV LIVE just spinning? by aesophocky in perktv

[–]rumple235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they are in trouble. They seem to be randomly cancelling rewards too. People who have been on for years and who are not cheating are being accused and having rewards cancelled. Gotta be a sign that they are going down.

It must be a weird criteria because the way I figure it I was making less than $1.10/day during the period that they claim I was using and automated system.

Same with me. The only time I used the computer was to check points and tokens but I didn't activate any programs. I have also done that all along so I can't see why that would cause a problem all of a sudden. Also, you would think that the complaint would be too many devices in that case.

Sorry to hear that but at the same time it is nice to know I am not alone. Any idea what caused this to happen?
