At the end of a survey you get to spin the slot machine to win points or girft card. I won a circuit city gift card and didnt recieve it. I e-mailed them a number of times but to this day, I have never got a reply from them.
Case #: 514 Plaintiff: Stacie Submitted: June 23, 2008 Last Updated: June 27, 2008

My complaint, I have been with Surveyspot since December 2006. It was fine, I used to be able to log into my account and check things out. Since their "switch" in December of 2007, I have created 3 new accounts because they could never find my account. Since Jan. of this year I have written them 4 emails about this problem, and has as of yet recieved one dime from them, and now, it has totalled up to $166. This is since the time I joined.

I get an auto-reponse, which doesn't do me any good. You can't contact them other way except for email...
Case #: 469 Plaintiff: Chad Submitted: June 04, 2008 Last Updated: June 04, 2008
I have emailed this company 2 or 3 times about why I suddenly stopped receiving surveys from them and why the take a survey link is missing on their homepage. I have not received any replies or answers. It's as if there is a freeze on my account or something has happened "error-wise" on their end. I would really like some help with this problem, if you could. I am really concerned that if this isn't corrected that my huge number of rewards that I have been payed for from taking there many surveys will not be credited to my account. Could you help?
Sincerely,
C.Turner
Case #: 370 Plaintiff: Maurice Submitted: March 28, 2008 Last Updated: April 03, 2008
I never received an email to activate my password with, and hence can't login to my account to really do anything. I have emailed the company multiple times regarding this and have never received a reply from them. I do however receive their surveys, so I doubt it to be a blocked email type of problem.
Case #: 348 Plaintiff: Dawn Submitted: March 14, 2008 Last Updated: May 01, 2008
I have written to SurveySpot three times since the first of the year regarding why my account seems to be frozen and have had no response. I was receiving weekly surveys, but since the first of the year I am no longer receiving emails for surveys or having the option on my account to take a survey or getting my earned incentives credited to my account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Case #: 215 Plaintiff: Cindy Submitted: January 05, 2008 Last Updated: January 16, 2008
On September 13, 2007 a "***" survey was successfully completed." Survey number ***. The reward for this survey was $***. I have e-mailed survey spot three times: with no reply. My last e-mail from 12/27 also included another question about survey number *** from 10/7/07 with a $***, which I have not received a reward for either. Prior to these two non replies, I have been happy with Survey spot, and in the past, had received a reply to my inquiries if a reward was missing.

Any suggestions or help available? Thanks.

Case #: 41 Plaintiff: Linda Submitted: August 08, 2007 Last Updated: August 22, 2007
I completed this survey today. See email below. After spending 21 minutes on it, I filled out the very last field and it said that I was not eligible for the survey and that I would not be paid. I did literally 40 screens or more of answers and then somehow failed to qualify on the last screen? I actually timed myself to make sure I exceeded the 20 minutes. When I try to reply to the website, it says that the account cannot recieve email. 8/8/2007

Reward: If you qualify and complete this survey, you'll receive $3. In addition, you can play the new SurveySpot Instant Win game and be entered into our $25,000 sweepstakes.

Survey length: About 25 minutes. Please note that if you complete this survey in less than 20 minutes you will not be eligible for the reward.

I completed an IT survey on May 31st and was to be paid $5. I have contacted them with the details of the survey (that I can recall) 3 times now and they tell me I did not complete it. I have done enough surveys to know if I complete them or not.
