6 mnth downgrade!

July 31, 2021 by arthur from Australia

This site is a total disgrace! The last upgrade which has taken over 6 months ruined the site and is still not complete! There is now no survey history for members to view which is quite sus and weird. Penny will delete you account if you ask any questions and get all raggy! Its not my fault u cant run a simple survey site! All the members are complaining at this abomination!

they're ok

I have been a member of surveyvillage for a while they give Egift cards now the largest amount I received from them is 50.00 for a week online survey just 10 minutes a day not bad also they send me a few surveys for 2.40 it might seem small amount but when you do a few and reach 20.00 than you can claim a 20.00 egift card or if you leave it to reach 50 or 100. you can get egift cards for that amount it's easy to go online for a few minutes to do surveys I'm happy with them

Bad Customer Service

September 14, 2016 by Jameson from United States

When I looked at their help section I could find no information whether they did PayPal or not. I sent them an email and 3 days later they wrote me back with something that looked like it was copy and pasted from their help section.

I then said, if there was no PayPal I'll pass.
The reply I got was this.

"By pass do you mean cancel your account?"

I mean, that's offensive. You can say that I was rude, I really don't think I was, I just wanted PayPal and had to wait 3 days for a reply that was basically just a copy paste.

Love it!

The surveys they send are always good and I can almost always do them on my mobile as well. And I get great rewards at places I go to

Don't join

April 8, 2015 by Jack from Australia

Very few survey invitations, very high screen out rate, very limited reward options, constantly changing terms and conditions (and the changes are NEVER good), plus moronic customer service. Only join if you enjoy being frustrated by arrogant rip off merchants.
