I wouldn't be surprised if the many users from the UK decided to walk away from the site and not return due to this, especially when you factor in how long it takes to do these surveys.

Obviously the problem is with points2shop on this one. I'm not going to lie, I feel pretty cheated by the site.

Total posts: 753 Status: Online Date of Birth: 89-01-17 Total Earnings: $760.52	reply date: 2012-06-21 12:00:50 I apologize for the frustration that this issue has caused to all uk members. SolveMyMaze, you mentioned in your post that the problem is p2s which is not true. As I posted before we are aware of the issue since the first day conversion dropped. We have contacted advertisers, sent them the reports from our members and a screenshots that shows the drop in conversion to make it easy for them to fix it. The issue is from the advertisers side (opinion surveys) not our side. They have switched to a new platform and asked us to switch links from the old platform to the new one. You may have noticed we were using the regular opinion surveys link (no p2s logo) for a few days then I switched to our custom page url yesterday hoping that will fix the drop in conversion rate but it didn't help. We also got an email yesterday from opinion surveys the final date of the transition from the old to new platform is next friday so it could be that other websites are still using the old platform that's why they might have a better conversion rate . Switching platform means they use now a new tracking system so it might take longer than before and I think it might take a few days before they can get it to work like old platform. I hope this help clear up some confusion you all may have and I really hope this will be fixed very soon

PS You have put a lot of time and effort into this site mate like the rest of us, and made P2S quite a bit of dollar at the same time so I am sure that they appreciate what we are all have done and are still doing, so don't be too hasty in your decision to leave..

I'm sure they do appreciate it, I just wish they had suspended the offer and maybe even send out a PM about it to alert of us the problem.

Next friday all websites like get paid to websites and trialpay for example will have to switch the links they have from old platform to the new one so they will use the same link we use now.
