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. Seems VERY fishy and I DO NOT trust them anymore. Once great, now HORRIBLE.

They were a great and honest survey company once. However now, most of their surveys have no point value and for the ones that do, I never seem to qualify. I've had only 600 points in my account for months and it takes 1000 to redeem. There are several other companies that are more worthy of my time.

This used to be a great survey company. What happened? They don't want to pay you for any surveys anymore. It's gone from one of the best to almost the worst, 9 out of 10 surveys are unpaid.

I have been doing surveys for the past 3 weeks...made 2500 points which I tried to redeem through my verified PayPal account but I was keep getting an error so I decided to call them(15tries NO ANSWER) OK then I sent them an email to help investigate the issue with my claim. After 4 days I received the following email: Thank you for your e-mail.Your SurveySpot membership has been terminated in compliance with SurveySpot's Terms and Conditions. http://www.surveyspot.com/en/General/Terms-Conditions/General-TermsWithout limiting any other available remedies, SSI may, without any notice, suspend or terminate your account if you breach, violate or otherwise fail to abide by or comply with these Terms and Conditions.In the event that SSI terminates your account pursuant to Section 17 of these Terms and Conditions, you will be deemed to have immediately forfeited your rights in and to any unredeemed reward points accrued prior to such termination, and SSI will immediately terminate.

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.

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?!"


I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I joined this panel. Please, if you're reading this, LOOK ELSEWHERE!

There are so many other Survey organizations that are legitimate and WILL pay out for your honest feedback.

Back when I had the time, I was able to make $10 a week from this site! They paid pretty quickly too. I haven't been on the site the last 4 months and now i see they have a new setup, hopefully its still the same.

I had belonged to Survey Spot for about 4 months and I had a balance of fifty dollars in my account. I requested a gift card for the amount above. After they emailed it to me they canceled it. At the same time they closed my account as well like I never existed. I got completely scammed out of my earnings and filed a complaint with the BBB. As you can tell, I'm not the only one who has had this happen before. This company is one huge scam for them to take advantage of people.

I completed a 90 minute survey/focus group, but they never put the points in my account. Multiple messages to their "Contact Us" link were never answered.

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.

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!

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.

This company should be named "Survey Crap"
99% of the surveys are for a sweepstakes entry, which I never heard of anyone winning. If you do get a paying survey it is a dollar for 30 minutes. This is a waste of your time.

I never had problem with this site. I'm making pretty good money with the. It happens that it shows error at the end, but is like 1% of all.
But I can tell this, diferent people have different opinion. When I read some of those comments and ratings, sometimes I agree and sometimes I am not. We all gona have different experiences with those companies.

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. I was a member for about 3 years and never had problems before. I think

You get almost all the way through a survey (submitting information THEY can use), then you're kicked out because "they've filled their quota." Its a rip-off!

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.

they send me a million invites a day! when I do actually qualify, the surveys offer no $$ and go on forever. i have to filter their emails to their own folder and delete most of them.

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. I now realize that I had a similar experience a few years ago, but at the time, I did not realize it.

That's my main problem with S.S. I can spend a good deal of time then find, i'm disqualified. I have recieved payment from them but last month I tried to collect from paypal and by accident I refunded the money back to S.S. Oh well, apparently it's gone now...

So when I cashed out the first time it worked, money was put right into my Paypal account. Then a few weeks later I try to cash out again and it gives me an error code, so I contacted them and they said they had fixed it. Tried again, still not working. They have a "Claims Checklist" and I met all those requirements but it still isn't working. I have contacted them 3 times only heard back twice.

I love their surveys but I'm getting tired of not being able to get my money for 3 weeks now.

I have done quite a bit of work for this company taking surveys. Here is a little insight. First of all in order to get paid, you must now be verified paypal member. I would go premier to get the card, so you can use paypal money offline. to get payment, go to claims, and spend at least 1000 pts. Also they have a take a survey button, take advantage of it. you may get most of your pts there.

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.

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 just took the most painstaking survey about TV shows where I had to type in the number of hours over and over again. After a half hour (the survey was said to be 25 minutes), they asked me my income, which is average these days, and it flashed SORRY, you do not qualify. I already gave my answers that the company wanted and feel totally ripped off!! That's it with this company. I feel that this is totally unfair; they got what they wanted and terminated the survey that was supposed to give me 1500 points. Stay away from this company.

My top site so far, signed up two weeks ago and need to do one more survey to cash out the third time, that's $30!in all I earned, not bad at all, very satisfied!

Get spammed when u go here...As you can see they have everyones information

I joined about 3 weeks around the 4th of July and I made about 12.50c from them. They do give you alot of sweeptake entries which I don't like I have qualified for more than half the surveys they send me. Most are .50c to 1.00.

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? I'm ready to unsubscribe so they'll quit filling up my inbox with surveys I can't take.

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.

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.

Minutes after I get an email I'm told that they've already reached their quota. Rarely do I qualify for their surveys so to me it's a major waste of my time.

I am among those who kept getting a message that said "site down for maintenance" when I tried to cash out. This happened for many weeks. Now, when I try to cash out, I am brought to the Rewards Claimi page which tells me: Sorry, we are unable to process your claim. This transaction has been flagged in our systems. 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.

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.

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.

Me too Never had a problem with them before, but tried to cash outover a week ago and got a 'Paypal verification failed' message.Now it is saying down due to maintenace this is been going on for over two weeks..As soon as i get cashed out never doing another survey with them they have gotten really bad in last few months on not paying.and I suggest that anyone else having problems with their account do the same.

I love this site. I have friends that use it and they don't receive the same incentives that I do but Ive been a member for a little over a month and I have probably cashed out a total of $180 through paypal. Frequency of the surveys come and go but some days I dont really receive much and other I will get a lot that are worth quite a bit. One day I got two surveys worth $14 and $12 which i qualified for and received the credit. Overall great site.

Never had a problem with them before, but tried to cash out a few days ago and got a 'Paypal verification failed' message. I'm probably going to join the numerous others that have been terminated unfairly. Going to file a complaint with the BBB soon and I suggest that anyone else having problems with their account do the same.

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.

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. If they want to rotate members, then their terms should state that membership terminates after a certain length of time. I think it's all a scam.

Not bad! -- I usually do a few surveys/ week, and I'm happy for the extra cash. The problem with this site is that many of the surveys are for sweepstakes entry only, and I've never really heard of anyone actually winning the sweepstakes contest!Therefore, I juststick to the ones that pay!

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.

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.

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.

*This site seems to have a lot of surveys going on. I get invites several times daily, so the opportunity to make money is definitely there. However, some of the surveys are long and tedious, and there are lots of OTX surveys that come up on this site. ALWAYS HIT DELETE IF YOU ARE INVITED TO DO AN OTX!

*This company pays quickly through paypal!

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. (I'm 18, so maybe they prefer younger panel members?)

I found a real number for Surveyspot guys..(203) 567-7200.

They sending only about 15-20% of money surveys. Another portion is for points to participate in "somebody is getting paid" game for fools.
If you try to answer only payd surveys they will delete your account with your money in a few month.
So, do it for free or get out.
Keep away from this sly company, there so many better options to choose between.

Kateena, you are not the only one going through hardship with this SurveySpot company.
I have not been able to check my reward balance in two weeks! I get an email from the company stating that they will resume operation in 72hrs. That was a lie.

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.

I have been with them for awhile. It is not the best survey place out there, but certainly not the worst. If you have paypal and cash out if will come almost instantly, that I like! How ever most of there surveys are just entrys to prizes, which I don't even bother. I January of this year they did a special, if you completed a survey you got 50 points, those where the ones that usally are the Prize entrys only. I wish they keep that one going

They say you don't qualify right at the end of the survey, after you spend 20+ min.

I have to opt out soon because they switched over to paypal and I dont have paypal so its now useless to me, Im just waiting for my check to come (which will take a while but Ive cashed out before so I know I will get it) and then Im outta there. With sweepstakes, points and fading cash rewards and test products all the emails I get just get deleted. Overall I still like the site its just not accessable to me anymore.

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.

As long as each survey makes at least 50 points or 50 cents, I'll rate it highly. Go back to sweepstakes (without any invoke) and I'll rate this place the lowest.

The switch to their new website and points format has not gone smoothly. Several of the surveys I had completed were not credited to my account even though they stated that the points would be rewarded immediately. 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

I just took an OTX survey and I have seen so many complaints about OTX surveys but tonight I actually experienced it 1st hand. It took me such a long time so it was really disappointing when I got ready to submit my survey and it said that my session was invalid....Though I don't blame survey spot completely I am waiting to see if they respond to my message....

They flood my email daily with surveys. I have only gotten 100 points. I take at least 7 or more surveys a day with them. I have not been credited with any points for them. I have sent 2 emails to them about why I only have 100 points....only to read you will be contacted in 72 hours. Did they mean 72 years? I haven't heard anything back from anyone.

For the most part, this is a waste of your valuable time and I'll tell you why; the e-mail invites are clear and they do spell out quite clearly the rewards, but most of their surveys are for chances at a non-existent "Grand Prize".
Maybe 1 out of 5 or 6 surveys are something you could use to build your account.

If you write to customer service about technical problems such not being directed back to their site after taking surveys so you can earn your compensation they never get back to you. If surveys have other technical problems they also ignore your contact. They issue a complaint number so you feel your technical issue was taken but they never write back or ammend the situation. You get suckered for your time.

I've completed soooo many surveys with these guys that I don't get credited for. Don't waste your time. There's good survey sites out there that actually give you credit. Stay away from this one! I'm "opting out"

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".
What a joke.
Don't waste your time, there are far better survey sites out there.

Surveys are mostly for sweepstakes entries and a try at their instant win game. (if your lucky). Not much cash to be made here.
Always tell you that your opinion means a lot to them, yea, with a sweepstakes entry. Sad! Most not mean that much. They are the ones making out, not you!
I will no longer take nor will I let my teens (they will have you ask your teen too) take there worthless surveys.
My time and my teens time is worth more than a slim to no chance of winning a sweepstakes.
Don't bother unless you like doing surveys for nothing!

I have taken over 100 surveys with them including
5 I was told I would get 100 points and 4 cash $3.00 & up. never got credit no reply from customer service cant access how many entries you have to their "contest" per their site it is sent to another company to handle and they have no access to that information (??) dont waste your time will get kicked out of the survey last minute and no points,cash or sweeps entry, or will not get ccredit or customer support either

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.

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.

I would say over 1/2 of their surveys are for sweepstakes only and they are long surveys! I want paid - not an entry to a drawing!

Not a bad survey company..I've had a few $20 surveys that I've completed...they've always paid me..no problems there...the one thing is the stupid sweepstakes game which you scratch off or play the dumb slot machine...nobody wins crap there...otherwise they've always paid me when I've cashed out

After reading through a number of these reviews, I get the impression that Survey Spot spends more money to pay people for fake positive reviews than for completed surveys. I was shocked to discover that, after months of membership and many many surveys, that I hadn't made a penny. I don't know how I wound up signing up with them...I NEVER join any panels that don't offer at least some miniscule ammount of guaranteed pay. I can only believe that their membership sign-up is loaded with misleading claims. I strongly recommend you don't waste your time.

I would have to say that SURVEY SPOT is the best survey site out their, I have received numerous product tests that paid high, one product test I that I tested I was paid $50.00 dollars. I would definetly reccomend them.

Used to pay. Now inundated with emails sweep upon sweep upon sweep. Never acceptable for paid surveys, always switched into sweep. Their so called "reward" is a useless entry into their game. As long as survey takers are willing to enter sweeps why should they pay. If survey takers would refuse sweeps perhaps they would get the message.

Does anyone ever win the sweepstakes? Playing those stupid Instant Win Games, I think is a waste. All I get are Entries into the Sweepstakes. I don't think there are any other prizes. I have also never received any free products either. What is up with this place. Anyone know if this Sweepstake is real?

I've made some money from their surveys in the past, but now i'm noticing they are not offering paid surveys that much, a lot of sweepstakes now, they must be getting hit by the recession and want people to help them float.

Sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes sweepstakes and more sweepstakes. No real rewards.

i been with them for over a year can not redeem point cant seem to get anything out of them. they are not worth my time.

I get lots of surveys from Survey Spot, but I've never goteen a paying survey from them. I've taken 100's of surveys from them and I've never gotten any reward fro my time and effort.

I geta ton of surveys from spot but more often than not its for sweepstakes. I can usually cash out once or twice a month for 10-15 dollars but most of the surveys are entries. I do get some free products but not very many. 80-90% of the surveys are sweepstakes.

This company sends a lot of surveys, but they take a really long time to send you your money! I have received some nice products from them though.

i was about to stop doing survey spot, as there wre really limited paid surveys, but all of a sudden the past two weeks i am getting like two to six paid survey opportunities a day, i dont have time for all of em but tonite i was bored and qualifed for five surveys totaling twenty five bux. weird cuz for a while i couldnt get a dollar, is this true for anyone else...

I love survey spot, and have never had a problem. But now that its been 3-4 months since they claimed to be moving to paypal next month, (3-4 Months LATER) I'm having my doubts, especially in that there is NO CONTACT area on there very poorly designed website. I have been paid several times and do recomend them but doubt there sweepstakes spins. Never win anything with the scratcher or lotto, and have been a member for a long TIME!!

Sure do get a lot of "fun" surveys from these guys. I guess that is my payment..."fun". I wonder if they accept "fun" as payment when they are delivering the results? 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. Don't be fooled by the paid shills and company employees who claim otherwise.

Surveys are okay i can say that much and they do send alot each day but,the down side of this survey site is that I email them with questions and concerns and no response I cashed out for 31.00 and yet to recieve I have alot of others I completed and yet to be showen in total earnings and credited for I have tried few times to email them in regrads to this and again no response they say you can win prizes all I get is nothing but entries that are good for nothing

I have belong to Survey Spot for over 3 years and in the beginning I used to make approx $30-$80 per month from them. Now of days I hardly even get an invitation for a paid survey, let alone qualify for it when I do. I really don't think my demographics really have any play in this.

I do give them some credit though since I do occasionally get a product test from them. I hope they get back how they used to be!

I can always expect to see surveys from Survey Spot in my inbox. Not all are for a cash incentive though, but worth the chance of a spin. Spins that DO pay off. I reccomend this site.

I've probably been with them the longest, get survey from them more than any, and have to say they've been good about incentives. I do ignore the OTX ones though. Be sure to play the casino game at the end, even if you don't qualify for the survey. I recently did not qualify for a survey, but played and won a $50 GC to Amazon. And they always send checks right away, too. I like them.

I see a lot of people who say they have technical problems with these surveys, I have had some also. You can solve that by shooting them an immediate e-mail with the survey number, incentive amount and what the issue was and they will grant you your money, no questions asked! 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!

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.

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!

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.

I've made almost $400 with their surveys, $50 in music download gift cards from the games and been directed to two different focus group studies for about $375. I can't really complain about that! Now all they need is a referral or affiliate program and they would be the absolute, total best!

I love this site! I have only been a member for a about 4 months and I have gotten so much already.

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.

I mean, I can't complain... I've gotten a check for $14 dollars from them... but I must say you HAVE to maintain your own aacount for your email invites for their survey offers. It takes about a month for them to put up how much you have, and then about another month to send your reward to you. But again... no complaints.

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. Put I think Survey Spot are going to change a few thing to make it better.

I NEVER QUALIFY FOR CASH SURVEYS BUT I ALWAYS QUALIFY FOR THE ONES THAT REWARD WITH A ENTRY INTO A DRAWING. I HAVE NEVER WON ANYTHING. LATELY, I FEEL IT IS A WASTE OF MY TIME TO DO A SURVEY FROM SURVEY SPOT AND THEREFORE EXIT WHEN I READ THE INCENTIVE IS DRAWING ONLY. I WILL STILL ATTEMPT FOR THE CASH INCENTIVES BUT I AM REJECTED. MUST BE BECAUSE MY KEYBOARD IS TOO FAT.

OK..we take our precious time to do surveys for "THESPOT"surveyspot.SOMEBODY IS GETTING PAID FOR OUR"FREE" SURVEYS.they will ask you to do a 10-15 minute survey,that take 20-30 minutes.AND "BAM" YOU JUST MADE THEM SOME MONEY.THEY KEEP SAYING "YOU WILL LOVE THIS SURVEY" OR "FUN" what is some much fun about working for free. i LOVE doing surveys..BUT I DONT LIKE BEING USED OR MADE A FOOL OF.SURVEYSPOT "PAY THE PEOPLE" WE WORK OUR FINGERS TO THE BONE !!!

At one time I got several for cash and would qualify for most of them, but as of late it is getting very hard to qualify for these surveys. They do pay when you have cash to turn in for, and you get it pretty fast. Wish they would have more surveys for cash and less for drawings.

been a member for about 2 years...have gotten a few items to test and several checks (one got "lost" they replaced it promptly)Most surveys are horribly long for little or no pay and I was getting annoyed with the sweeps entries, but actually won a prize last week...will know in 6-8 weeks what it IS I won, but whatever it is, it's better than nothing:)

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. Recently I had a paid survey for $3 and only took 6 minutes! I even had a 3 question survey (less than a minute) for a sweeps entry. Been a panelist since summer 08.

I been with survey spot during the mid june of 08 and haven't been paid at all. When I went and check to see what the problem is, first I didn't make a account on their website (however how the heck i was getting their survey in the first place when i apply). second when I check again, there was no paid survey or nothing.
The only reason why I'm with this this time for jan 09, I wanted to see if again, i'll be getting paid. I saw the review of everyone from here and other website of getting paid from them.

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 thoroughly enjoy their surveys and I think they pay pretty well (at least in my experience). Try it out!

i been part of a bunch of product testing like getting free wipes, diaper rash, frozen foods (tgif yum!) and more. plus i have gotten checks for 16 and 19 bucks and gotten them in a week! yeah alot of the surveys are sweepstakes but it wouldn't be legitimate if it gave you tons of money all the time! i love surveyspot!

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. Well, good luck to all beginners.

I HAVE MADE QUITE A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS SITE. THERE ARE TOO MANY SURVEYS THEY SEND THAT ARE NOT MONEY MAKING ONES. I NOTICED THAT IF YOU DONT TAKE THE NON MONEY SURVEYS AND WAIT THEY FINALLY WILL OFFER THEM WITH A CASH PAYMENT.

Earned some $$ with Survey Spot, but most of the survey are no cash reward -- only sweeps entries -- which I consider a worthless come-on. But for the occasional survey with cash rewards, I endured. They used to send me several surveys a day and now they don't send me anything. Guess they gave up on me; so I've given up on them. There are other sites that are better.

Survey Spot is my second choice survey company. Once again, its hard to quailfy to complete an entire survey. Never won any daily prizes. Did qualify for a few dollars. I will continue to do there surveys and hope I get lucky.

I'm recommending them but, they send a lot of lengthy surveys with a useless drawing entry as a reward. It's gotten to the point I skip any survey that either has no dollar value reward or states it takes 10 minutes or longer to complete. The site is in my top 5 money maker list over 3 years now and I'm getting 8-12 survey invites A DAY!!!

I really thought if I hung in there and plugged through I might eventually be rewarded, but I'm sorry to say no. I really like doing surveys, but not for absolutely no reward! I have been through 20-30 minutes to be told I "don't qualify". I have been kicked off a survey in the middle/at the end 4 times. (Customer service responded to only one of my emails about this.) After 30+ surveys/screeners, and hours of clicking boxes and typing my opinions, I haven't received anything in return. Maybe I'll hang in there a few more weeks??

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.

I've been with Survey Spot the longest and with the amount of sweepstake entries I've received I should have won $1 million by now. Its true that their payouts are small and sometimes even after I put my name and age in, I'm suddenly not qualified. These survey panels need less sweepstake entries and larger payouts. I have received a $26 check from surveyspot, that's it.

Almost all of the surveys I received had NO $$ incentives, only those useless "Sweepstakes" entries.

I actually did win a sweepstakes-a nice prize. And the surveys that do pay pay very well. This is one of the top sites I have found.

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.

these guys send me MULTIPLE emails a day of which less than 1% do I qualify for, NO, make that less than .0001% that i qualify for. I have yet to accumulate any rewards....only "sweepstakes entries". Beware!!!!!

I used to love this site, it payed really well. I was steady getting checks from them then I mysteriously got suspended. Guess I was getting too much of their money!

I have gotten money from them but seriously, I take the survey and spend 30 mins and then I'm DNQ??? It's sooooo frustrating!!!

I really like Survey Spot, I've actually made the most with them so far and have gotten quite a few product testing opportunities too. I understand they can be quite frustrating at first, I was frustrated with them myself, but after getting the hang of them and realizing that I have to go on their website to get more paid survey opportunities, it's been great! I would recommend giving these guys a chance!

I agree with Sandra this use to be a good site,now all you get is a chance at a sweeps(which I dont give valuable info for free)and the others you wont Qualify for.Its a shame this use to be a good one.

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.

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.

I have been with surveyspot for about 7 months and i have made the most money with them.Always write down your survey numbers and keep a log of the surveys you do.I have had to contact customer service a few times to get credit so that is why it's best to keep a log.I have always gotten paid.I have made about $125. so far,but I have not won anything.

OK, so I've been a member of this survey site for a long time now, and I just recieved my incentive check in the mail today (it took about 60 days since it was requested to get here to Canada). I'd say it took me about a year of $1 surveys here and $3 surveys there for me to earn $40, but hey, that's $40 I didn't have yesterday!

This is all I ever hear from these guys. I have yet to qualify for a single survey they have sent me.

I'm sick and tired of the sweepstakes entries.

I gave up and closed my account.

I've been a member of survey spot for a bit over a year now, and have won 100.00 from their instant game, and have done about 300. in surveys. They always respond promptly when I have a problem, and have compensated me when I was disqualified at the end of a survey. I love survey spot!! :)

All of my SuverySpot experiences have been great. The most I have gotten for a survey is $10, but most are $3 to $5. However, they do not credit your account right away. Still, every single check I have received in about a week and it adds up very quickly. I usually do not wait for an invite, & am constantly checking to see if there are more surveys open to take. I have never won anything for the drawing.

i have deal with this company in the past.im' glad now i found a place to report them and get some justice and let eveyone know how they really are.they where good at first.then one day i went log on and found out my account been suspended and says there was unusual activity of 2 accounts.i made several email attemps and explaining i had only 1 account and they inored me and never contacted me back.

I like SurveySpot. That lil dog is soooo cute ... lol.

Just received a check!! I do received quite a few survey invitations, have participated in a home product cevaluation, and online focus group.

Positives: Lots of surveys, decent cash rewards, easy cash out process, timely receipt of reward checks.

Negatives: 4-6 wait for reward to credit, no paid incentive referral program

Overall: Pretty good program!

It would be good if they had a

Ive been on this panel for a couple months now. Get 1-4 surveys from them EVERYDAY and I do the surveys AS SOON as they hit my in box (I have a dull day job) and all I have ever gotten from them is "sweepstakes" entrys... Even their "paid" surveys, once I get to the end I get that BS about how they got all the people they needed so we arent going to pay you, have some sweepstakes entrys.
All I got to say is that I have 1000's of entrys into that damn sweepstakes and if I dont win something!!!

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!!! One way to beat them at their own game is to set up multiple accounts.

I've done quite a few surveys for them and have earned $20 in the approx. 2 months I've been with them & have done one product sample. The problem I have is that none of my rewards have shown up on their website yet. It hasn't quite been 6 weeks since I completed my first paid survey and it says it can take that long for it to show up. I am tentatively recommending this site for now. We'll see.

Get lots of surveys from them, some pay some dont. I have recieved checks anytime I have requested them and in a timely manner. Also have tested many products for them I have no problem with them,also the customer service is helpful in resolving issues........

I just don't understand the 5 star reviews here for SurveySpot. Are they for real? I've yet to see a single check, I don't get responses to my emails, and out of all the surveys, 1% is for cash and the other 99% is for sweepstakes entries. Sweepstakes entries?!? A 20 minute survey for sweepstakes entries? And has anyone won one of these "sweepstakes"? BOGUS! I've stopped dealing with them. It's just another OTX as far as I'm concerned.

I have been with them since December of 2006. I did many many of their surveys but never saw a check, when they said I should get one. Then in December of 2007 they switched or changed or did something, and I haven't been able to log in. I have sent four emails and recieved autorepsonses, which means nothing. For all that time, I am supposed to be up to over $150, and haven't seen a dime. A note to the BBB is sound good right now.

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.

So, I have been taking surveys now for 3-4 months, and this survey site is by far my least favorite! In fact, I don't get why it is so far up on the ratings list! I get tons of invites per day, and all they are for are sweepstakes entries. Also, the one survey I did take (for $1) had an error at the end and they never responded to my email about it. Unfortunately, I didn't know that surveypolice existed at the time (over a month ago), so I didn't save any of the pertinent information in order to file a complaint. I am not impressed with this survey site!!!

I would recommend them. I make the most cash from this survey company. I would recommend even doing the ones that do not pay because many times it can lead to a product test or a interactive survey.

I joined this site in march 2008 and have made almost $500.
I also won $50 from them. I do every survey they send me.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

I have never had a problem with Survey Spot. My $$ gets credited in a timely manner and the checks come on time. Good site to start at.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

An Honest Site!

SurveySpot does pay in cash. They do send plenty of surveys. SurveySpot appears to be honest in all respects. My favorite.

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.

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.

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.

got my first check!!!

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.

SurveySpot is the best one of all, you still get paid.

Been with surveyspot for 3 months have made over 400 dollars. made a $100 on one survey and 50 and $75 on chat room like surveys alone, not counting all the 5, 10, 15 and oh yes 3 dollar surveys. i love survey spot!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
