Solid bait and switch... Not surprising considering their past.

Would be really interesting to see if anyone here actually got the credit.

I saw two people on instagram who didn't.

What a ballsy move if they sent that to a bunch of users and paid NONE of them.

Alt is run by known crooks. You deserve everything you get if you choose to associate with them in any way.

Saw somebody who is collecting names on IG say it’s 50-0 right now.

Please take this quick, 5 minute survey and you’ll be compensated with a $30 ALT credit for your time.
They didn’t mince their words in the initial email. Bad move Leore!

One guy on Twitter says he got it, but that's all I've seen.

I have never bought or sold anything on there, have only used the pricing tool. Wonder if that plays into who they give the credit to.

I could be wrong but isn't the one guy (thebigkahuna) also a known scammer or shady character?

I tagged Alt on Twitter yesterday and they replied with an update:

My response was as follows:

This isn't the kind of stuff people should have to point out to you though. Don't make promises you don't intend to keep. Don't steal user data without their knowledge. Etc.

A company that "prioritizes trust" doesn't try this stuff in the first place.

Anybody who uses ALT deserves to be taken advantage of. Stay AWAY people. There are many other honest companies to use to buy and sell ards.

"start up"? They raised $75 MILLION in funding and are ran by several crooks. This isn't some mom and pop shop thats trying to find their footing. They've got enough money, enough idiots and enough time in this hobby...to know exactly what they are doing. Start up? Lol

Update: my account has been credited with the $30.

What did they think was going to happen here?

I greatly enjoyed that they are blaming this on being a “startup”.

This could all have been avoided by them simply saying "first xxx people who reply to the survey get a $30 credit." Plenty of other companies have made similar promotions.

Or they could have bitten the bullet internally and just paid out the credit they promised without all this negative PR.

Instead, they disappoint not just consumers, but broke a promise to clients/users who actually cared enough to provide them with the information they wanted.
