so your saying that Pickfu looked at your submissions and said "you know what, we're going to save ourselves .10c and reject this one perfect hit".

Are you saying it never happens? There have been plenty of requesters on here that reject to save.. and it adds up

I am saying PickFu would not do that for .10, we aren't talking about some new req who has no experience with the platform.
I think its much more likely that you had an auto submit script (like keybinds) running and you accidentally submitted without ever noticing.

Every rejection adds up. I got p9r to change a rejection and it was just 1 rejection. What burns me is I remember word for word what I wrote and they said it was empty. To put that much thought into a 9 cent hit, have it rejected and then they dont bother to respond ... grrrr

I used to feel the same way, but my mentality has changed in regards to this and it has helped me quite a bit... I care more about my time spent on a HIT than I do about the rejection itself.

For example, if a HIT pays $6 and takes 2 minutes to complete, and I get rejected (whether it's for a B.S. reason or a legitimate reason), then I'll fire off a quick email politely asking them to consider reversing it and move on with my life. If I spent 20-30 minutes on a $6 HIT, then I'll be a bit more persistent in seeking a reversal because of the value of my time that I invested in doing that HIT.

Nope no keybinds running. I have yet to use one. Someone gave me one for a hit , however, the hit hasnt been posted yet so I have no need to have it on.and I checked my spelling and everything before I physically hit submit, so I know it was there. Told them word for word what my response was in the first email.

Still mad about the rejection I got from PickFU. Iknow I did the hit right and didnt send it blank. They never responded to my email so I sent them this one.

Good Afternoon,

I am highly upset at the moment. I did one of your hits. I put a lot of thought into my response as I reviewed the Amazon page with a Baby sleep sack/onesie. I had suggested the need for size chart and went into detail why. Made sure my spelling was correct and then hit submit. So when I get a rejection stating it was empty has me wondering if you are handing out fake rejections.

I pride myself on my work I have over 104k approved hits with a 99.82% approval rate. Fake rejections like this put my Mastery at risk and could cost me well paying jobs.
I have already emailed you once about this. No one has bothered to take the time to respond. Please look into your error and reverse my rejection. This is the link I have for the hit. Any more info needed just ask.

All this over one rejection? Seriously? If I was PickFU and you took that tone with me, I'd block your ass.

I've only ever argued over one rejection cause it was a $10 hit (and got it reversed), I didn't bother for my other 13 cause they add up to maybe a dollar total (that and I know some of them were rightfully deserved due to accidental early submissions). Personally to me a single 9 cent hit isn't worth sending multiple emails about, especially when you said you already spent more than enough time on the hit initially. If it was a mass rejection that'd be a different story

I woke up to a rejection this morning and sent a nice email off about it. A few minutes later...

Hi Megan,

After going back in and looking at the data, it looks like your survey completion code was a near match to someone else's who should have had their HIT rejected (and unfortunately, theirs was accidentally approved instead). Your responses definitely passed all the criteria and reflect the thoughtfulness and time you put in.

I am extremely grateful that you took the time to reach out so that I can rectify this error. I will be reversing the rejection momentarily and awarding you the bonus. My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience; and thank you for your time spent on our survey. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions or concerns.

She gave me a $2.00 bonus to make up for it. I only asked for the rejection to be reversed.

Also, PE $0.00 + $2.00 bonus. Can't catch anything today.

Today has been pretty awful honestly...

Thats nice.. My first email was all sweet and professional. If they would of bothered to respond then no biggy. Funny how I got rude and now they choose to respond., but p9r was the same way.

Funny cuz they finally responded, but thanks for being rude all the same

Oh hi, hows it goin.

I woke up this morning and thought it was Saturday and it wasnt. Which is pretty rude tbh.

They're usually new/change names a lot. Not well-established requesters. If it was a false rejection, 100% chance it was a glitch/mistake. With this particular requester who's never scammed.

Wow, way to taunt me in my time of sadness.

It ALMOST never happens. Very rare. Especially when working on HITs that are not obvious in your face scams, which are also rare. If you have evidence to the contrary I would like to see it.

It's safe to assume a wrongful rejection is the case of an oversight/mistake or incompetence 99% of the time.
