Great Surveys & Great Rewards
by Lawrence, May 18 '13

I've been a SurveySpot member for a couple of years now. Even though I do not qualify for all surveys, the ones that I complete are usually interesting and don't take a lot of my time. The rewards are great. I usually choose Amazon.com or PayPal. I just cashed in points for a PayPal deposit and it was in my account in less than 2 minutes! Thanks SurveySpot. Keep those surveys coming!

Am I missing something?
by John, May 11 '13

Maybe someone can tell me more about Survey Spot. I am aware that SSI owns them and Opinion Outpost and I do surveys On OO a lot. but what confuses me is that on SS 15 points = 15 cents (25 min survey) but on OO 15 points = $1.50 (25 min survey) it takes 100 points to cash out for $10 on OO and it takes 1000 points to cash out on SS. I don't understand how they can have such a wide margin. I don't want to spend 25 min for 15 cents on SS, especially when I can spend the same 25 min on OO for $1.50. I feel like I might be missing something here about SS, because having this much difference with the same company don't seem right, but whatever it is, I haven't figured it out yet!

Doesn't Work for Me
by Bruce, May 11 '13

They are owned by the same people as one of my favorite survey firms, Opinion Outpost, hence the high Panel Legitimacy rating. I have a Macintosh and while their partner's surveys are usually smooth sailing, the surveys that they generate crash my browser. The vast majority of the survey incentives are for sweepstakes entries, which is a waste or my time and a whiff. No thanks, I'll pass.

Don't see how the ratings % is as high as it is.
by Summer, May 08 '13

This site is on the bottom of my list of survey sites, if not the least favorite of them all. The average points paid per survey is 20 and at that rate it will take a long time to meet the threshold-and that's if you qualify. Then, what's even worse is they tease you by inviting you to take surveys that pay a decent amount of points and then say that you've already taken them. This has happened multiple times to me and I'm absolutely positive I have not taken the surveys that they denied for that reason. I think it's to entice people to stay on their site, but they don't want to award fair point amounts.

"Games" are just that - you will never win points.
by James , May 01 '13

I was OK with this site until they offered me a couple of "games". One game involves choosing from three doors when you are DQed from a survey. Whatever door you choose will almost certainly be a loser.
The second game involved an animated car race where you choose a colored car and win if it places first, second, or third. This is what piqued my suspicion; The car I chose placed third but was awarded no points. I doubted that the Flash-based games ever awarded points. I filed a complaint with the Connecticut Attorney General's office.
When I asked about odds of winning these games, I was given a nonsensical answer. When I challenged it, I was told it was "escalated to a rewards manager" who never responded to me.
When I mentioned this failure in a survey about member services, I was flagged for fraud for providing "bad or irrelevant answers".
The message is clear: "SHUT UP OR BE SHUT OUT."
I would rather be shut out of an unethical company than do business with them.

Love making money
by Jacqueline, Apr 16 '13

I love the fact that I get paid for my opinion; and, I can be as honest as I want to be. I get $10 at least every 2 months, but I have fun with it. I have other sites I give my opinion to but, they give points for ridiculously high points needed to redeem any. My opinion is: Survey Spot is at the top of my list of survey company's to use for a record of payment that cannot be compared with.

Survey Spot don't bother to try
by Karen , Apr 05 '13

I used to belong to Survey Spot in 2012. I did cash out a few times. But most of the surveys they sent me was not for points but for a sweepstakes. I wanted to try then again in 2013 and they wont' send me any surveys to do . I have terminated my account and then resigned up, but the site itself doesn't let me get anymore surveys. So I wouldsuggest if you want to use another site I would. I heard this site changed towards the end of 2012 well I sure believe the changed to the worse.

Used to be great but not so much anymore
by Casey, Mar 13 '13

Used to be one of the best out there but over the last year, they are not so great anymore. It takes way to long to rack up enough points to cash out because they must don't pay anymore. They send lots of survey invites, but most are 30 minutes or more andimly pay 50 points, which is equal to 50 cents or one sweepstakes entry for a sweepstakes I have never won in the 7 years I have been a member. Plus, they are not accurate on how long it takes to complete a survey, if they tell you 30 minutes, its more like 55 minutes. Its absolutely ridiculous that anyone would want to waste almost an hour of their time for 50 cents. It took me months before I could cash out my $10. The only plus is that you can be paid thru Paypal. I just don't really bother with their surveys anymore. Huge waste of time for nothing. Once in awhile I get a good one and end up answering questions for 5 to 10 minutes just to disqualify and get nothing. Ugh....

hacked account
by Chloe, Jan 09 '13

In early December 2012 I noticed a loss of points. Twice over a period of 3 days. The first time I contacted customer service and then again on the second time. These points ammounted to $100. Which considering the length of time it took to accrue them took a long time. SS contacted me back and said that evidently my account had been hacked. They were going to turn it over to their fraud team and would contact me in a couple of weeks and reinstate my points. I have recontacted them to find out when this will happen since it has now been one month. I'm still waiting.

Site Changed Incentives
by Tressa, Dec 19 '12

When I first started with this survey site, I was impressed at the incentives and they have one of the best payout times. Basically, you ask for the reward and it's there that day in your Paypal account. The downside is about 80% of the survey invites I receive now are 20-45 minute surveys that get you 1 prize entry. No points. It took me about 4 months to reach 1000 points to be able to cash out. I have learned though that if they don't post rewards on the e-mail, you are only going to get 1 prize draw. That's just sad for a site that pays so quickly and has interesting surveys.

Great opportunity if you have realistic expectations
by Ama, Dec 01 '12

I tend to read reviews before doing any sort of business with an online company, but I still reserve an amount of skepticism regarding a certain percentage of really good or really bad reviews.

In short, this is a really great survey panel if you have REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS about what being on a survey panel really means, and a lot of the negative reviews seem to reflect that those people didn't understand the point. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE COMPANIES FEEDBACK TO BETTER THEIR PRODUCTS BY GIVING YOUR OPINION IN EXCHANGE FOR A MINOR INCENTIVE, NOT A JOB. Since I started in late October I've taken many surveys. I've gotten over 3000 points and have taken part in surveys where the company has sent me products to test. But I've taken twice as many surveys where I didn't qualify. Do you think a beer company cares about your opinion if you don't don't drink? No. So keep trying until you find a survey for a company for which you are target consumer.

Great Customer Service, Decent Opportunities
by Bethany, Nov 30 '12

If you are expecting hundreds of dollars from Survey Spot, you'll be disappointed. That said, they offer ample opportunities, usually for 50 points (50 cents). Sometimes there are focus groups worth 2000-3000 points as well; I have participated in a handful of them and they are worth the time. It is always cool to see the product ideas come to fruition, also.
Their customer service is absolutely phenomenal. More than once I have been 3/4 through a survey and had it bug out on me; they've always responded right away and been courteous and positive in their correspondence. I highly recommend Survey Spot to people who just want to have some fun and don't have high hopes for hundreds of dollars a month; they pay, but it takes time and effort like everything else.

SurveySpot is Awesome!
by Patricia, Nov 25 '12

The primary reason I like SurveySpot is the fact that they are panel-member conscious. I have not used the panel for awhile given my current obligations and they sent me an email letting me know I was about to lose my acccumulated points. Awesome, who does that!! ;o) Thanks SurveySpot.

I don't qualify for a lot of surveys given my age but I do like the ones I qualify for, the length of time, and the content. The sweepstakes entries are an added bonus, who knows I might win one day!

This company is super easy to work with, you take surveys when you want, if they're available, and once you hit 1000 points, then you get $10 within 24 hours. Sometimes I'm a little frustrated when I "don't qualify" or my survey is just for a prize draw, but that's life! Get over it people!

Starting Great and Went Downhill
by Tressa, Nov 18 '12

I have been with Surveyspot for about 2 months now. Things started out great at first and I was getting pretty good rewards. Now for the past month, EVERY SINGLE SURVEY I get an invite to or if I go to their webpage to take a survey, I'll get 15 to 30 minute surveys for 1 prize draw. I have been stuck at 825 points for over a month and can't get to 1000 to cash out. I just want to know what the heck happened in a month to make them not give you rewards anymore.

Fastest payout!
by Antonella, Sep 26 '12

I enjoy doing surveys at survey spot most of the time. The only thing I don't like is doing long surveys with only a sweeps entry as the incentive, and the part I like the best is that they are the fastest paying survey company once you finally reach at least 1000 points. They don't make you wait weeks for money that you've earned, and process within 24 hours. Thanks!

by Leonard, Sep 07 '12

I am a panelist for several sites and this by far is my favorite. Granted its a point based survey panel, but after I have received my 1000 points and cashed out they have the quickest turn around time I have ever seen for a survey panel via my paypal acct. They offer surveys ranging from 50 points on the average to as high as 1000 but those are rare and few and far between but so worth it.

Reliable and Trustworthy Survey Site
by Felecia, Aug 23 '12

I have been a member of this survey panel for several years. They have always sent numerous surveys with fair incentives. I liked it better when surveys were for an actual $$$ incentive, but the points accumulate fairly quickly and I am able to request a check with points. I did have only one problem with an unauthorized claim on my reward points, but when I contacted them with my complaint they were prompt to respond and quickly resolved the problem restoring all points back to my account. I was very pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend SurveySpot.

by Liam, Aug 16 '12

I signed up for this survey site a long time ago but found it not worth time spending to say the least and I actually forgot about SurveySpot.. This was then BUT NOW I would definitely recommend it. I signed up again for this site because of a review here (and because I had one of those rare moments where I had too much free time LOL). And it's true: SurveySpot changed for the better! They offer a lot of surveys and 2/3 of them you will not qualify. Yet, you earn fast when you qualify and after having been only an active member again for 5 days I cashed in $10 dollars as PayPal deposit already (1000 pts = $10, average survey = 50 - 100 pts). The best is that it takes only 24 hours to see the reward deposited on your PayPal account. I definitely recommend SurveySpot now as long as it keeps that way!

by Shakir, Aug 01 '12

This is a really good survey site. Their surveys dont really pay out to be too much though. Most surveys are about 50 cents. You can cash out every 1000 points which is 10 dollars. But what makes this site exceptional is that there are many surveys. I am the person who gets disqualified from most of the surveys. But since there are so many it isnt a problem. i cash out twice a week so 20 dollars a week isnt bad at all. Occasionly, theres a survey that doesnt pay out even when you complete but their support team are fast with answers. This is my third favorite site.

Qualified Thumbs Up
by Bill , Jul 06 '12

Ive been using Survey Spot for almost a year now. I am a bit shocked at the experiences of other reviewers with this outfit. My dealings with their customer service have been all good. They reply promptly and they have awarded me points on surveys, as some have said, they were bounced out of at the last minute. For that I will give them top marks. However, as some have mentioned above, most survey invites I receive are only for drawing chances; that been said, I have had some big paying surveys from this site and product test surveys. I have cashed 5 times and always am immediately paid to my PayPal account. I only had trouble trying to redeem my payout once, but I came back next day and had no problem getting it done, maybe they had a computer glitch on their end? Overall, I would recommend using this site, but, if you only want big paying surveys, I would avoid it. If you dont mind getting 200-300 chances to win $12,000 every 3 months, then you should give it a try.

Easily the best survey site i have tried
by Carlo, Jul 02 '12

First off i write this knowing others may have had bad experiences with this site. I can only give you my personal experience with them and i must say it has been great.

First off. Cashing in. This is the only site i have been a member of that pays and pays instantly. The cash out limit is $10 and it has instantly gone through paypal every single time. I have cashed out about 30 times the past year or so and never had a problem.

My girlfriend is also registered on the site and has never had a problem. Even from using the same ip.

Now the reality of this site is this. Most of the surveys i qualify for are 50 cents. I usually qualify about 75% of the time for those. Other surveys worth more and it's really a 50/50 chance you will qualify. There are plenty of the 50 cent surveys that range in time from 1 minute to 25 minutes. I would say the average is about 10-15 minutes.

Great site. Instant payouts and minimal problems.

Big Cheaters
by Jon, Jun 21 '12

Danielle is absolutely correct when she accuses them of fraud. I've been doing their surveys for six months; already received one payout, but when I tried to get my next one, they claimed that they were unable to pay me at that time and that it would take up to a week to investigate. More than a week went by, so I tried to get my payout again. This time I was led to a window that said my account has been closed for "violation of policy", and all my rewards were forfeited. I think this is blatantly illegal, but try complaining to SurveySpot--they won't even let you onto their website! Who else is going to help you? Nobody polices these sites, they just do whatever they want. I suggest to anyone out there to forget about these survey sites and use Amazon Mechanical Turk. They have more, better, and better-paying surveys anyway, and they're backed by a legitimate company who pays in a timely manner without question.

Steer clear of this manipulative, unprofessional, unethical company -- not only does it falsely accuse members of violating its terms (yet cannot supply the information of how a member did, just refers to a boilerplate link of legal nonsense), they pretend to investigate your account(s) for "fraud" then months later say the account(s) cannot be re-opened. How ironic, just when you were trying to redeem for the rewards you worked hard to get, they freeze your account. Not just freezing one, they will freeze all your accounts with their partner sites (Surveyspot/Opinionoutpost/Choozz). I encourage all who have been subjected to this gross and illegal treatment to contact the BBB.org, casro.org and your state Attorney General's office.

LONG LONG SURVEYS
by emily, May 30 '12

Surveys are getting longer and pay much less than when I first started doing surveys with them. MANY surveys pay 50 cents for 25+ mins of your time.

There are better paying, shorter surveys to be taken elsewhere.

If someone signs up in your household even without
your knowledge and they find that out then they keep your points and shut down your account.
YOU WILL NOT GET PAID.

I was with them 3 yrs. It can take many hours
to get that 10 dollar payout.

It's not that bad
by Chrstopher, May 25 '12

It's nowhere near as good as its sister site Opinion Outpost, but I think SS is decent. They pay immediately after cashout via PayPal if you select it. Some of the incentives are quite poor (50 cents for 20 minutes?), but I've gotten $1.20 for 20 minutes so I stick with the surveys like those. No complaints really.

Being a new participant to the survey world, as I tried to organize survey spots, I registered with 2 emails. Survey Spot froze my accounts. When I wrote to them and explained, they responded quickly and re-opened one account. While I haven't rec'd alot of surveys that I qualify for, I will continue with SS - they took the time to resolve my problem.

Almost every single survey I fully complete ends with an error page, so I end up spending, on average, 40 minutes to complete a survey and don't even get paid for it!!!! And forget about customer service! EVERY time I contact them about the issues I'm having they NEVER reply back! SurveySpot is a SCAM! STAY AWAY!

Survey Spot took over Opinion Outpost within the last year. I ran into problems when they discovered I had a different email for each & froze both accounts. I had to choose 1 email for both & stood to lose points from 1 or the other. They also own Opinion World & PCH Surveys. My rating: They are now 4 sub-par panels instead of 1 great one.

Not a trustworthy company
by Elizabeth, Mar 31 '12

I have had nothing but problems with surveyspot over the last three months. I get the dreaded SSI error at the end of surveys all the time, and always after the survey is completed. So, they have my completed survey but then disqualify me so they get to keep the money from the survey company? I think this is fraud and theft. I would never do business with them again. They also tell you that they confirmed with the survey company that you didn't qualify but in a recent product test I contacted the product company and they confirmed that they sent my money to surcey spot to be disbursed to me but survey spot lied and said the company told them I didn't complete the survey. This is only for $25 but I think I'll take them to small claims just on principle. If they don't clean up their act and stop lying they may ultimately face a class action lawsuit.

Not as good as it used to be, but still good
by Tommy, Mar 17 '12

In 2009-2010 this panel was absolutely awesome. I qualified for most surveys and got some good stuff, including getting paid $25 to review two reusable razors that I got to keep. I made an easy couple hundred dollars. Once they switched to a points system, though, I found that I wasn't qualifying for many surveys, and I haven't gotten a lot since then. But when I do cash in, payment is made immediately via PayPal - no waiting 4-6 weeks. Overall highly recommended.

non paying surveys
by Johnnie, Mar 13 '12

Lately they seem to only have surveys for a sweeps entry or the paying surveys is for your teen who doesn't like to do surveys. I don't do the surveys that don't pay or that pay pennies for a 30, 45 or 1hr on any of the sites. If every one refused non paying surveys and the ones that don't pay enough given the amount of time, maybe they will start being fair with the incentives and stop sending nonpaying surveys.

by Lisa, Feb 26 '12

I had a hard time deciding whether to recommend this site or not. I haven't been with them a long time, but I do check them out daily. My problem with them is they have started giving only sweepstakes entries for the majority of their surveys. Very few give points, and a lot of those are closed when I click on them. (Even though I just got them that day.) The GOOD thing about them is when you DO get enough points for a Pay Pal payout, it is immediate now. Click, click, click and the $ is in your account. So...not a favorite, but not as bad as, say, Toluna!

This would be probably my favorite survey site to use. The payout threshold is only $10 and you can get that in no time. There's always surveys you can do and the customer service is helpful. Plus, you don't have to wait on a check in the mail like other survey sites. The PayPal cash out option is definately the icing on the cake.

The cash out threshold is only $10 and I love that the payment is instantly in my paypal account.

NO Customer Service and Reward Never Given

I've been a member for the better part of a decade. Years ago they were great and I got pretty good rewards. Now it's taken several years to earn any redeemable money. They sent me a claim code that doesn't work. It says it's already redeemed but I have not received anything. 3 e-mails to the help desk, 2 e-mails through the website and an e-mail to the corporate headquarters over the last 2wks have all gone unanswered.

Used to be great. Not any more
by Kathryn, Nov 20 '11

I've been a member of SurveySpot for nearly a decade and used to make some fairly decent money from then, but in the past year about 95% of the surveys I'm offered give sweepstakes entries only. For about 9 months I had $8 in my account with them and just couldn't get a survey that would credit that last couple of bucks to allow a cashout. Complained to their customer service that sweeps entries are utterly useless and a waste of my time, and got the form letter about SOME surveys pay, yadda yadda. Yet we KNOW they're getting paid for them all.

They set me up this fall with ONE online focus group that actually paid $75, but the invitation email never specified the incentive. Called the company needing the research and was told the incentive would be substantial.

Up until 2010, I would have highly recommended this company. Now they're a total waste of time.

Going downhill, but still classic and legit.
by Rachel, Sep 04 '11

Sure, they seem to be going downhill a bit, and having a lot of glitches as they transfer to new systems (which survey company hasn't?), but they still pay and I find that when I don't qualify it is usually pretty quickly.

The surveys are pretty standard and I'm having a harder time making money to pay out as quickly as I used to, but I don't feel scammed. It may take me longer to get my money, but I know I will. I've been with SurveySpot for years, it was my first site and I've cashed out over a few hundred dollars.

I'm an honest survey taker; I take my time and thoroughly read through before I give a response. I have been a member for approximately two months and it has been an entirely negative experience.

I have completed about 40-50 surveys in the two months that I have become a member. However, upon submitting the surveys, I was told on the very last question "We're sorry! You didn't qualify for the survey!"

How convenient. My responses were recorded in their entirety and I didn't qualify on the last question? "We're sorry?!"

Don't waste your time here.
by Holly, Jun 21 '11

Currently, Survey Spot owes me something like $50, and it seems like I won't be getting it. I've contacted their customer service multiple times, and I've yet to receive any response from them. It's not as if I haven't given them enough time to respond, because they've had more than enough time.

Even though I hadn't been a member long, I feel like the site declined severely since I joined. The surveys suddenly started telling me that I "didn't qualify" for them AFTER I was finished with them. 80% of surveys were only for "contest entries". Many surveys would glitch and I wouldn't get paid. The surveys that actually worked were only worth 50 cents, and they were far too long.


Survey Spot is a horrible company. They have non-existent customer service, a glitch-filled website, and fake contests.

If you decide to join, know that they will stop paying you once you make a fair bit of cash off of them.

by Vilma, Jun 18 '11

Been with this company for 8 months and have cashed $165 low incentives but pays fast and to paypal the only 2 huge problems are that they tend to DQ at the end of surveys when your like 98% done; Even worse you can't send them a e-mail because they terminate your account! I finished a survey and when I got sent back to them they said I was DQ so I sent an e-mail with the survey number, time and date asking if they could look into it and the only reply I got was that I have not recieved another survey from them or any other SSI company like Opinion World, Zoom Panel, and Publishers Clearing House I can still login but no surveys and after reading the other reviews I can imagine what they will say if I send another e-mail (if they answer it)oh yah and I lost all my points because it won't let me withdraw or exchange them! I will never go back to this company or its affilates. Makes me wish I hadn't been so nice in the e-mail and told them what I really thought of them!

Hit and miss
by James, Apr 06 '11

Pros: They send me plenty of surveys, usually a couple per day. They pay thru PayPal, almost instantly after I cash out (minimum $10). I've made $100 over the past 6 months. I've also received a few test products from them.

Cons: Lately most of the surveys they send me are only worth 50 cents for 20-25 mins which to me is a waste of time. Also I get screened out a lot, only qualify for about 1 out of 4 surveys.

Overall I would still recommend them as they are my #3 top paying survey site. A few times a week they send out higher paying surveys ($2 - $10) so I keep them on my list.

I was terminated for violating the terms of service which I did not think would happen to me even though I have seen NUMEROUS complaints about the exact same thing from other users. (Check out there Facebook page to see all the people they have terminated.) I had almost $20 in there and tried to cash out and it wouldn't let me. I contacted them and asked why and they stated that they did not support my internet provider, even though I cashed out from the exact same computer a month ago with no changes, and to try again from a different computer. I did that and still nothing. The next day I tried to log in and try from a different computer and I could not even sign-in. I e-mailed them asking what the problem was and they replied a week later stating that I was in violation of their terms and conditions which really just states that they can terminate your account and anytime without paying you.

Surprisingly, It's a Rip-Off
by Kala, Oct 15 '10

I'm 8 months pregnant and not working, so I've spent most of my free time taking the surveys available to me. In no time at all I earned 900 points. Then those "verify" pages with the flags kept popping up at the end of all my surveys, meaning I wasn't getting rewarded.

I contacted customer service with 9 surveys I didn't get rewarded for, and they apologized for the inconvenience, said they had no clue why it kept happening, and credited 3/9 surveys. I could deal with that because I now had enough to cash out for $10.50. I tried taking another survey and got hit with the "verify" page, so I cashed out and received my $10.50 through Paypal.

Yesterday when I tried to sign in, the website refused to acknowledge my login info. According to customer service, my account has been terminated because in some way I violated their terms and conditions. I responded to the email asking what I'd done to deserve termination and got the exact same automated email in response.

Took My $ & Cancelled My Account

I did a hour online forum w/ a $20 reward. I checked my account yesterday, & saw that it had been credited, so I was going to cash out the $20 via Paypal. It kept kicking me out, so I assumed that it was problem with their new payout rules. I sent them an email, & continued doing surveys. After finishing up a survey, I tried to log in to my account to check my points, but was unable. The next day, I received a generic reply stating that my account had been terminated per the agreement-- a pre-fab email that explained nothing. I wrote them back, expressing my distress & asking for further clarification, & I got the same response. I called a phone number for them & left a VM, & later got the same generic email from the person. I wrote them back, telling them that I would be contacting the BBB, amongst other actions if this was not resolved.

Good Company Going Downhill
by Karen, Aug 18 '10

I would never recommend Survey Spot to anyone. I was a panelist with this company and they used to be really good. They paid well and credited surveys most of the time. But these days because of a hypersensitive flagging system, many surveys are either terminated or there are technical "glitches"which say the link is invalid and you do not get paid. I understand that they want to screen out the bad survey takers but they are penalizing the good ones in the process. Most of their surveys are low paying or sweeps and only a lucky few will get the occasional higher paying surveys. I didn't get credited for many surveys I honestly finished and have to had to fight for to get some acknowledgement of them. Overall, I find their practices to be questionable and I quit them after several years and do not plan to go back.

by CP, Aug 11 '10

I've Been with them for several years now, and they have been solid for me. Actually,I would sincerely rate them ahead of the all-mighty Pinecone..(because they send more opportunities.)

Once you reach the $10 threshold, your money is waiting at PayPal. They send out a few non-paying or low paying surveys from time to time, but I generally just skip those.

This year,I've already cashed out about $200, and I'm still receiving about 5 surveys a day. They respond fast to my emails, and have never fought me over rewards credit. During the transition from check to PayPal, there were some bugs, but they seem to have worked those out. They are leaps and bounds ahead of TOLUNA and Survey Head..of which, I certainly wouldn't recommend those two to anyone.

I already gave my answers that the company wanted and feel totally ripped off!! That's it with this company.

I've only been a member of Survey Spot for a couple weeks so I'm not sure if this is a fair review - but, I receive several surveys from them every day. After going thru the first 3 or 4 pages about zip code, age, gender, etc., the basic stuff, I'm told I don't qualify. So even tho I receive several surveys from them, I honestly don't think I've been able to complete even one survey yet. Whassssup?!?!? Since I'm registered at their site, surely they know my age and gender before they send me the survey. Don't they?

Member for 2 weeks and have already cashed out $20! I'm not making $40/hour doing this, but I have plenty of time where I may as well be taking a survey, and some are very fun. However:

1. The better-"paying" surveys (300-500 points) fill up quickly! If I am not able to start the survey within the first few hours, it is not always available afterward.

2. I am not screened out of some surveys, and I should be. However, I can tell you that other websites I have joined are a LOT worse about this. I don't get too many of these from SurveySpot.

3. Occasional technical problems. Eventually, you get really excited about the 300-point surveys because it's the equivalent of $3. However, I have tried to go back to the "2nd day" of the survey and gotten errors a few times.

Overall, I don't find it a waste of my time. Erroring out or being kicked out of a survey for not qualifying or because they've already met a quota is disappointing, but not really irritating.

Survey Spot PAYS FAST
by George, Jun 28 '10

It is my favorite survey panel! Although a lot of surveys are for sweepstakes entries only, I have also received numerous paid surveys, product trials and paid focus groups. I have tried MANY products and have made nearly $200 in incentives in the last year and a half. Not bad for survey taking!

They pay instantly via PayPal and I have never been denied when I claim my rewards. Minimum claim is $10, which is reasonable. You may get a lot of unpaid sweepstakes surveys, but stick with it and it will pay off in the long run.

Other survey panels take forever to make a claim, but Survey Spot is very timely. My experience: If I had to be on just ONE panel, this would be it. Highly recommended.

If you would like more information please contact our helpdesk, using the error code 53421.5.

Maybe they are haveing cash-flow problems. Whatever the case, they could at least email all members asking us to hold off on claims till such-and-such a date. Instead, they just keep filling my email box with more survey invitations! I for one will not taking any more of their surveys until they fix the fulfillment problem.

Theives
by Crissie, May 24 '10

It seems everytime there is a "higher paying" survey-you don't get credit for completing it. I took a suvey for 1.5hrs and it was supposed to get $20 for it but I never got it. It took support 3 months to answer my email about not getting credit. I just got done taking a 1 hr survey paying $5 and after completing the entire survey (it said thank you for completing our survey click here for credit) i clicked for credit and it said "sorry this is an invalid link" So basically I wasted my time AGAIN!!! Support is a joke-they never answer you.

Ya there are times that you will make money here, but with all the fustration of wasting your time so they can profit is BS and very aggrivating.

Get ready to fight about payments
by Sandra, May 23 '10

Even when you manage to complete a paying survey from this company, it is very doubtful you will get paid. Of the 18 paying surveys I have taken and completed since February, I have only been credited for 3. Even though the others are sitting in a competed status in my history page, I will not get paid for them. Customer service will not respond to my inquiries about them. I urge you to go elsewhere and let this company die.

Deleted my account and points
by Angelica, May 08 '10

I was with Survey Spot for about 2 years and I went to log in and all my points were gone just like that. I had about 750 points or more. And you have to get at least 1000 point to qualify for a check. I will never sign up with them again. They could have at least sent me a warning. When I emailed them it said they will get back to me within 3 days. It was more like a week. They said my account was inactive. Definitely will never sign up with them again. Did too many surveys too lose all those points.

by Susan, May 02 '10

I was terminated for violating the terms of service (like about a million other long term survey spot members). I think they are doing it to the people that have been members for a long time.

FIRST TO PAY ME
by Patricia, Apr 23 '10

I've been taking surveys for about 6 months and Survey Spot is the first to pay me anything. I got $30 from them in Pay Pal and a $59 check from a client of theirs. So I can't complain about them. However, the surveys for chances aren't really why I do this and some of the surveys won't complete after taking quite a bit of time. I don't mind being screened out because they give you lots of surveys, but they shouldn't have you take a whole survey and then say you don't qualify.

by J, Apr 23 '10

I get plenty of surveys with Survey Spot but 70% are not for points, just a chance of winning a jackpot. The ones I do take for points are inconsistently awarded. I don't know if SS knows what they're even doing. I just took a 40 min survey in which the email subject said 300 pts, the body text said 400, and what they gave me for my trouble was ZERO. They post no customer service information. Their IT dept doesn't have a clue on how to fix all the bugs in their system (or maybe they don't want to?)I can't even unsubscribe because even that doesn't work. So many other great panels out there... do not waste your time on this one. If I don't see my 400 points soon, I'm visiting the BBB about this outfit.

Hit and Miss
by Jeffrey, Apr 22 '10

I know my view is going to be a little biased, because this company recently terminated my membership stating that I had violated or breached their Terms and Conditions, but wouldn't tell me EXACTLY what it was that I did or didn't do. I always took their surveys seriously, and even if I didn't qualify for some, I still took them in the spirit of participation. I never lied, nor have I broke confidentiality, yet they still dropped my membership after being a member for 5 years.

Aside from that, their surveys were always geared either for people who spend a lot of money like a drunken sailor, or were for people who drank a lot of booze. When surveys were available to gain monetary incentives (which was rare), it was taking seemingly forever to get that incentive, and that's only IF one qualified for the surveys. I've even went and done a full 45-minute survey, and at the end of which says I didn't qualify.

I have been with SurveySpot since about December 2009 and I have earned $53. I get a lot of emails, and almost all of them are at least $1 (100 points). I love this site, and I have definitely seen improvement since January. However, my sister is a member also, and she rarely ever gets invitations. So maybe it's good for some and not for others.

Getting Worried
by Kateena, Mar 15 '10

I joined SurveySpot in November of 2009 and have cashed out twice. Once for $25.00 and once for $17.50, but now (for the last 10 days) I have not been able to log into my account. I've sent several e-mail asking whats going on and have not had any reply. I'm worried because I have over $25.00 in rewards sitting in my account. I feel like I'm being ignored on purpose and that I will never be able to cash out. In the past this company has been great, alot of surveys, easy to qualify for, and fast cash out, but now I feel like they are turning into one of the scammer companies and I personally wouldn't recommend them to anybody. BTW, does anyone know a phone number that actually works? I don't think I'll ever get a reply to the 12 emails I've sent them, and the number at the top of this page is disconnected.

Overall I like surveyspot. They send a lot of surveys and sometimes the incentives aren't good, but it tells you in the email how long it will take and how many points, so I can choose not to bother doing a survey if it doesn't seem worth the time. I just cashed out with them today for the first time, for $10 after being with them for about a month, and I was pleasantly surprised that the paypal payment went through INSTANTLY. As soon as I clicked the claim payment button, the money was in my paypal account. Impressed with the fast payment, no other survey company has paid so quickly.

However, their instant win game is crap and I'm getting really sick of it! Every time you do a survey you get to do this stupid instant win game at the end and it says you could win a cash prize... and I ALWAYS "win" sweepstakes entries. It's just annoying. And I've gotten really sick of the little noise that the pretend slot machine makes when you click on it.

The switch to their new website and points format has not gone smoothly.

Also they promise to reply to consumer contacts within in 72 hours. Yesterday, I received an answer for a compliant placed 12/11/09. Thus it took a month! I was owed around $13.00 and after sending repeated inquiries via their website with no response I finally contacted the better business bureau of Connecticut because they are a member. My complaints were resolved satisfactorally within two weeks and now they are showing when I complete surveys and when I don't

by Catherine, Dec 07 '09

I've been with Survey Spot since 6/10/09.
They do send you a ton of surveys, but they don't pay you for them. I made $1.00 with them since I joined. And that was before the switched over to their new point system. Now it will take you forever to get enough points to cash out because they hardly ever send out surveys which pay in points.
They actually expect people to sit there and spend 40 minutes taking a survey for a sweepstakes entry?
Which is the only incentive they offer.
I'm not wasting my time anymore with Survey Spot.
I have taken plenty of suveys with them in hopes of at least winning a sweepstakes.
After all I have gotten 100 entries into the
sweepstakes from a single survey ( you get
to play the instant win game after you take a survey , which I doubt anyone ever wins and it always comes up with "You win bla bla bla entries into the sweepstakes".

Lots of Opportunity
by Daniel, Nov 11 '09

I have found them to be extremely up-to-date and very active in sending out "opportunities" for a large variety of surveys. You can pick and choose which surveys to take and avoid the ones that only pay with sweepstake entries. On the other hand many of these sweepstake only surveys are pretty short and quite fun to take. They give you the average time to take a survey BEFORE you log in to it. It does take a long, long time to make any type of money here but they are upfront about everything. So far, so good.

by christine, Nov 09 '09

I've been with Survey Spot for 6 months and made $23. I always skip the surveys that only offer a sweepstakes entry. Why waste a half hour of your life for only a chance. The panel just recently switched over to rewards points instead of cash, in which you can then transfer over to a PayPal account. I'm curious to see how this fares out. Normally when they would send you a cash survey in the past, you had to take it in like an hour or two of receiving it or the survey would already be closed because so many people jump on the opportunity to make money, and not a stupid sweepstakes entry. I've already been offered $10, $12 for some surveys but if you don't take it in time it's too late. So all in all, the company isn't horrible, but skip the sweepstakes, and don't bother making $1 if it takes an hour.

Seems like we should be getting paid for keeping them in business, but I guess not. The surveys that are not "fun" appear to be surveys where they value my opinion. That value has apparently been set at zero, since that is what 98% of their surveys pay. As has been documented below - their sweeps entries are 100% fake.

It's happened for me numerous times. They have nothing but good intentions and I will stick with them! Some of their incentives can also reach $10 for a 50 minute survey, sometimes shorter, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! And not getting enough e-mails?? You can always go to the web-site and take any available surveys at your own time and you can skip the non-paying ones until paying ones come up. Explore the site, it's cool!

by stan, May 30 '09

This co. is quickly going down hill. The entire month of May, every single day i have gotten Nielson offers to sign up with them. My guess is Nielson bought them out or something, but i don't know that for sure. My question is what happened to all those endless sweepstakes surveys that so people think were legit.Now they have replace most all of them for a Nielson offer.It should not take a genius to figure this one out.

They're legit and more scientific
by Mike, May 18 '09

SurveySpot is run by SSI, which is the gold standard in survey sampling. They're the closest thing to a nationally representative online panel out there and that should be reason enough to join them. They don't send invites for every study to everyone, which is the right way to do a valid survey study. It's used by more companies than any of the other sites. Are you gonna get rich from it? No, but you'll influence a lot of big time products and services. I highly recommend joining this panel along with PineCone. Support good survey sites, not scams!

Not for me
by Andrea, May 12 '09

I get more invitations from SurveySpot than I do from any other panel I belong to - with the least returns. I also have frequent problems with surveys "malfunctioning". Today I completed a survey that should have paid out $5 that "malfunctioned". The reason given: I left my browser "inactive" for too long. However, I didn't leave my computer, and actually ignored two phone calls to complete the survey. I left the panel today; always ends up wasting my time and I am part of other panels that don't waste my time. When I left, the panel didn't want any feedback or to know *why* I left. I think that's kind of telling.

by jay, Apr 20 '09

I used to be able to count on $20-30/ month from Surveyspot. Now, I'm lucky if I get $5. They offer a lot less surveys overall, and not nearly as many cash surveys. At one point they locked my account until I opted out and stopped taking surveys-then they invited me back.

I say join-if all u want is a little (I do mean LITTLE) extra pocket change. Also, they send checks only but are switching to Paypal-which is cool.

Having problems
by Patricia, Mar 19 '09

Lately there have been too many technical issues with their PAID surveys only. Always the message of YOU PAUSED DURING THE INTERVEIW... I don't know if other members experienced this, but I am getting tired of it. It has been impossible to earn anything.
They do pay when you cash out as they have paid me so I still do recommend them. The only problem is the incentives take tooooo long to credit. The trick is to answer all their surveys and contact them when there is a problem. If you do have a problem with the sweepstakes, you can do the ones of 15 minutes or less. I agree their surveys are ridiculously tooooo long for sweeps. I am not participating in them like I used to.

The one thing I say about SurveySpot is that they are getting to many of the OTX surveys and they suck all the time you don't qualifies. Think we should get points or something for doing the surveys cause it does take time.As for the sweepstake it's a lost cause. I can say I have won casd money for doing surveys and they do pay.

Going Down Fast
by Lori, Feb 04 '09

8 months ago, I would have recommended this panel, but no longer. I honestly can't remember the last time I was offered a paid survey. And I am not up for doing even a 15 minute survey for free. I must say, my 17 year old most certainly is not, either. Survey Spot seems to think if they put the word "fun" in a survey name, a teen will take it for free. An example would be "Fun New Electronics Survey!" Teens lead the busiest lives of all of us between work, school, homework and activites. It is just laughable. I am really disappointed, because this started out being my favorite site.

I have been paid by Surveyspot. I've noticed lately that there have been much less paid surveys offered. Could just be the economy and the holidays.

I like Surveyspot a lot. They were the first one I started with and have been great. They give lots of opportunities for me and they seem to pay decent amounts. The only criticism would be that it takes them a while to post rewards to your account, but they get posted eventually.

I redeemed $12 about 3 weeks ago and it still says pending in my account. When it finally does get to the sent part they say 6-8 weeks. Geez. I cant give any survey companies more than a 1 for legitimacy cuz they're all a scam really. They give your info to their partners and you get a ton of emails when you do them. I just do it for something to do and the occasional gift card but you can't consider this extra income like most say in theyre initial email invitation. If I combine the 18 survey companies I'm a member of it would take me 10 years to earn enough money to pay one months internet bill. And I cant belevie with the incentives so low they also attempt to jip you on most sites. I'm always begging for my points and credits it seems. Everyday I'm sending someone an email.

You get a ton of surveys that enter you in a sweepstakes.Has anyone actually won? You can spend 10 minutes qualifying and get turned down or too many people answered. They take your opinions and make money off of them. One survey was $2 for 30 minutes. Not worth it. Half the time the games they have freeze. I've emailed them with no response. I wasn't surprised about them after reading the active complaints. Not one of the good sites.

Survey Spot gets a thumbs up from me they pay on time (wish they would get paypal though actually wish ALL survey sites would pay using paypal) Usually the sureys are between 2-7 dollars if offering cash incentives mostly 3 and 5 bucks but way to many sweeptakes entries thats the only beef I have woth them because I don't want to spend 30 minutes of my time for sweeptakes entries not in these days and times I want CASH! Or Prepaid Visa or Master cards (you can keep your gift certificates to amazon and online shopping or restuarants . I just wish they would have more cash incentives.I have made over 200 dollars and counting with Survey Spot so I really recommend this one if you can have the patience to deal with the sweepstakes entries and the 4-6 week wait for your survey reward to appear on your account.

Rewards no more should be their name
by Sandra, Aug 25 '08

Don't know how anyone can give these guys a high rating. When I first started with Survey Spot several years ago, the rewards were $1 here, $5 there, and sometimes even more. Then they decided to change the way they were doing things and started with the sweepstakes crap. After that, all I ever saw was "enter for a chance to win". If there was one that offered a cash reward, I either didn't qualify or they had all they needed. And that was usually as soon as I got the email from them. I finally got tired of messing with them and just stopped doing any. They stopped sending me any after a while.

So many "you don't qualifies"!
by Brooks, Aug 23 '08

I'll begin by saying SurveySpot is a perfectly legitimate survey panel. They do send out your checks in a fairly timely manner.

However, I've spent 10 or 15 minutes on selected surveys only to be then told I do not qualify. I believe this is fraudulent on the part of SurveySpot.

I did contact their customer support and asked to be paid for my work and did end up getting paid- but it's a hassle.

Also, they have an almost annoying amount of surveys that offer no cash compensation- and a few times it seems they bait you with a tempting survey that promises $5 and then it's closed or I didn't qualify.

In summation, you can make some extra spending money reliably with SurveySpot- but I can't FULLY recommend them because of the 6 or more times I contacted them to complain about surveys.

Highest Paying Survey Site
by Melanie , Jul 27 '08

I must be signed up with at least 25 survey sites and this is by far the most profitable one. I must receive at least 5-9 surveys via e-mail from them each week, and the really cool thing with surveyspot is that you can actually go to their website and sign into your account and click on "take a survey," this way you don't have to wait for them to send them to you.

I honestly make AT LEAST $135 a month from surveyspot alone. And when I request my check I usually receive it within 2 weeks.

Another great thing with is their customer service. I don't know how many times I have contacted them with a complaint about a survey having technical difficulties over the past year, and every time they apologize for the problem and credit my account with the amount the survey was worth!

It's taken several months to accumulate about $100 in my account. As you can see from other comments, a few surveys pay cash, up to $10, most pay ZERO. Never have won anything from their 'Instant Win sweepstakes'. Many times, the surveys for pay collect a lot of information, only to error out at the end or say they have more reponses than they need...THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT BEFORE THE SURVEY STARTS!!!

Tons of Surveys
by Glen , Jun 12 '08

Surveyspot emails at least one survey a day at the very minimum, but at the end of the survey it allows you to take more. They are not all for money, but every survey gives you different amounts of raffle tickets to win gift cards. I've been a member for less than a month and already cashed a check for $25. Most surveys that are for money are for 3 or 5 dollars, but you can request a check when you totaled more than $5 which is much lower than other sites. One must check their email quickly though because their quota is met very quickly.

great site
by Elizabeth, May 25 '08

I have been a member at survey spot since late January 2008 and I have received 3 checks and currently have a 4th check being processed. The $5 payout is great and easy to reach but I usually wait to get a larger check.
They say it may take 4-6 weeks for payment to be added to your account but it generally does not take that long.
The best thing you can do on this site is take every survey even if they are not paid surveys because they often lead to paid surveys that were not sent directly to your email.

One of the Best
by Jim, May 25 '08

What I like about Survey Spot is that of all the survey sites I belong to, this is the one site that I recieve the most surveys from and I attempt to do every single one of them. In the 5 plus years I've been doing surveys, I've recieved the most money from this site. For the record, I average about $50. every 6 months, and it comes in VERY handy.

Switch to Sweepstakes
by Charles, May 25 '08

I used to love Surveyspot, until they decided to switch a majority of incentives to sweepstakes entries. They now "reward" with entries into sweepstakes, a poor business model if you want to take my time. I will only respond to paid surveys from this site. These have become few and far between as they keep more cash for themselves.

I Love Surveyspot!
by Kitty, May 16 '08

This survey company in my opinion is one of the very best. Surveys are fun to do, and you are well compensated for your time. I know we do a lot of them for sweepstakes entries, but there are some very good paying ones, as well as invitations to do focus groups.This is my all time favorite survey site. I highly recommend!

Only if you love surveys
by L, May 07 '08

SurveySpot not a site for people who don't like to take surveys. While they offer decent money for a few of their surveys, 99% of the surveys I qualify for are for drawings. The surveys are fun, but 5, 25, or 100 entries in a prize drawing where everyone else is getting 5, 25, or 100 drawings is poor incentive. They also provide no mechanism for tracking the number of entries you have earned and your rewards do not show up immediately like they do for most survey companies.

I Feel So Used!
by kelli, May 04 '08

I receive about 5 or more surveys a day from SurveySpot. I am new with them, been there about 6 weeks. I have qualified for one survey. On the last question of that particular survey, I received an error message and that was the end of that. The survey was lost forever, after my 20 minute honest effort. It is also VERY DIFFICULT to keep up with your account and point/reward info. It IS NOT made readily available. You almost get the feeling that they don't even know themselves. It may change, however, I am not giving them long before I unsubscribe. I feel so used!

Waste of time . . . so far
by Emily, Apr 29 '08

I hope I turn out to be wrong about Survey Spot, but so far I have not found them to be at all rewarding. Several surveys they sent took so much longer than the "estimated time to complete" that I gave up. The one I did take took 4 times longer than its estimated 20 minutes to complete and when I clicked on the the last link to finish it and "collect your prize" (which was a paltry $3), the site gave me an error message. Huge waste of my time and very frustrating. I have only been a panel member for a short time, so there's still hope I will print a retraction of this statement, but for now, all I can say is SO NOT WORTH IT.

Total Number of Entries Accrued
by Bradford, Apr 28 '08

On 04/08/2008 I emailed SurveySpot to ask if they can tell me the total number of Sweepstakes entries I've accrued? I've pasted their reply below but the bottom line is even though you can win 5 to 100 entries per survey, they don't keep track of them.

"We currently don't keep a record of every sweepstake entry you have. We only keep track of all surveys you have taken, so that we can research if necessary for payments processed. You may keep a personal record of every entry by listing how many entries per free spin game and survey numbers taken."

Draws
by Rick, Apr 17 '08

I find with SurveySpot I get 90% draws-10% cash for the survey invites I get from them. I've completed the same survey for Survey Spot for free/draws & get paid real $ for the exact same survey with another survey site so they are making a lot of free money! The cash ones it usually takes the "4-6 weeks" (usually longer in my experience) for them to deposit it into you ACCOUNT THEN ANOTHER 2-4 WEEKS TO GET YOUR CHECK.

Up to $140
by Jennifer, Apr 08 '08

I LOVE SurveySpot. I have been taking surveys for them since Feb 2007 and have earned up to $140. They really do not take that long and if you don't qualify for the prize they let you know about 5min into the survey.

Could be better
by Joy, Apr 02 '08

I think SurveySpot is probably my #2 survey site. The surveys are legit. and I've been with them for 1-2 months and just got a $35 check in the mail, and since then I've earned another 12 bucks. I guess the only complaint I have is that all of their surveys are not worth money, but on the upside you do get a lot of surveys that aren't that bad. One other thing I don't like though is the slot machine thing to win entries in the sweepstakes. I do take surveys daily with this company and it just seems odd to get 100+ entrys a day and not win anything, but at least their surveys pay and the check came fast.

Better than others. More fun too!
by Marian, Mar 30 '08

I like most of Survey Spot's surveys because they make them fun and not so mundane like others. I would say they have given me a 35% chance of getting a paid survey ranging from $2-$10 since I joined in February 2008 (It has been about 7 weeks since I joined). Checks come, but do take as long as they say they will.

So far, I make the most from here
by Brian, Mar 27 '08

I make the most money from survey spot. I get a lot of sweepstakes ones like everyone else, but I get cash ones too that I usually can qualify for. I've gotten a few $5 to $20 surveys as well which is a lot of how I can cash out well. I hope they never change that.

Sweepstakes not incentives...
by Melissa , Mar 21 '08

I get a bunch of surveys in my mailbox every week, but when I open them the only thing they offer is an entry into a sweepstakes that you have a one in a million chance of winning. Most of the time I get a few questions in and am "not qualified" but still can play the instant win game - which you win every time you play for a bunch of sweepstaks entries. I have not made a cent in 2 months.

One Of The Best!
by Joseph, Feb 28 '08

So many high paying surveys so little time. I highly recommend surveyspot. Easy money for little time put in. Usually $3-150 bucks a survey. Even though I've never won anything, I don't care. The cash is worth more than the sweepstake entries. Surveyspot has the most interesting surveys. Those $$$ are no lie. I have checks stubs to prove it as well as a few friends I've referred.

I cash out from SurveySpot all the time. They offer a lot of cash surveys a lot of them for $3.00. The only downside is you have to wait 4-6 weeks before they update your rewards but that isnt all that bad they send the checks fairly quick.

Lots of surveys! Nice incentives (cash reward or sweepstakes entry). I do recommend SurveySpot. I have received quite a few checks from them. Never any problems. Some surveys can be long, but well worth the incentive. Ex: See other's comments.

They have changed
by Nyeima, Nov 28 '07

I have been apart of SurveySpot for over 5 years and previously you had a really good chance of winning one of the prizes and the incentives were great. Since they have changed to the new "instant win game" It's a joke now. How can one person have 100 entries for almost every survey taken and never win a prize? I think they put that in place to limit the amount of prizes won.

I really enjoy taking the surveys and they send enough that you should be able to win but now I only take the surveys they send me with a guarenteed incentive.

Love Survey Spot
by Rena, Nov 12 '07

It took me a little while to figure out that you should do every survey they send you. Even if it something that probably wouldn't fit my profile, like pet owner. I click on the survey, answer truthfully, and I get entered into the sweepstakes anyway. But doing every survey they send me, at the end of the survey they tell me about all the open surveys, one at a time. So I just keep taking them until they tell me there are no more available. This is how I get the cash surveys. They are always hidden in there. Because a lot of times the survey links they send me for cash surveys are usually expired by the time I get around to them.

Lots 'o cash
by D, Sep 18 '07

SurveySpot pays quite a bit, but you just have to wait a while for the incentive to be put into your account. It sometimes takes up to 2 months for you to get your cash, but with the amount of paid surveys you get, the cash flow is still high.

My recommendation, do ALL surveys, even the unpaid ones. They sometime lead to paid studies.

5$ here or there
by Dan, Sep 13 '07

They do tend to give out 5$ surveys from time to time.

my wife is actually a member here. I strangely never got emails or survey offers from them after joining, even after asking support.

She said they never paid her for her last "paid" survey, but I've heard good things from other people.
