I'm going very back first, when it used to be called Surveys.com, a website that was really crap (you could not find your competed surveys, then I could not login etc), but it was constantly sending me surveys to complete (still as Pam Hughes!).
It took me 1 year to get my points transferred to Maximiles. Then, finally a flimsy reply letting me know that they were having a website makeover and I could redeem my 'new points' directly with them!

So, their website looks much better BUT it does not allow you to see what exactly are these rewards!! Incredible! You first have to reach some redemption no. of points!

According to some feedbacks I read, their catalogue is crap. I emailed them and pointed it out adding that members and potential members have the right to know in advance what their rewards are. Their reply was not very helpful, they appreciated my feedback and will be 'thinking' over it !

I guess it is a good way for them to spend little: keeping respondents 'in the dark' (we don't know what we'll get), then after many completed surveys 'surprise'!
So gfk found a cheap way to refresh their respondents database, some members leave and new ones will join unaware of how badly their time is appreciated.
GFK loves taking advantage of members' time (like with their MediaVew panel).
Unless I know exactly what do I get for my time, it is not for me.

They send a good amount of surveys, but usually they are long and boring and don't pay enough for the time you spend on them. It takes too long for the credits to build so you can cash out! At this rate, it will take about 2 years to reach cash out level since I have only been a member for about 9 months and only have 1,000 pts saved.

I've worked to reach the cashout amount and I just reached it a few minutes ago. I finally get access to their rewards and I see that the cashout amount isn't even close to enough to redeem for anything. I actually said out loud, "You have got to be kidding me!!!" This was a complete waste of my time...time that I could've been spending on other websites that actually do pay me for my time. I'm not sure I will continue with this site because the rewards they offer either aren't things I want, or they are so absurdly over-priced that I'll never be able to earn enough points to be able to get them.

I have been answering surveys on this site for about a year, and I can't believe it took me that long to realize I wasn't get any rewards I used my points on!! I kept thinking its probably a mistake,etc. But No !! I sent many many emails asking about my purchased rewards and why have I not received them. They either responded with a shallow: thank you for your email, someone will respond to you soon, or some other ridiculously stupid and un-helpful response. DO NOT SIGN UP THERE !!

There was no way to tell what the options were for payout ahead of time. You have to reach 2500 points and then find out that you won't even be able to get anything after doing all those surveys. You need way more points than that to get the worst piece of junk, and about a million more to get anything half decent. It would probably take three years to reach that.
