Not good at all.

March 9, 2017 by Jason from United States

So I joined the panel site thinking that it would be like every other one. Not at all. I was only able to do one survey. I asked in the support section and it has still been 3 days without any response and no surveys to take. I'm going to stick with Rewards1, Mintvine, instagc, or Oneopinion, which are way better survey sites than this one. I usually don't leave bad reviews, but I feel like this one deserves it. I mean what survey site doesn't reward their users with Amazon, Paypal, or even cash? Don't even get me started on the rewards they offer - it's basically worthless. Should've spent my time trying to find out what rewards that they have to offer.

ZERO STARS

Ditto on below! Waste of time! Don't bother. All it is, is advertisements and instead of making money, they find ways to ask you for money! Ridiculous!!!

Add me to the chorus

Add me to the chorus of unhappy users. Waste of time and no rewards.

Dealing with GFK is generally bad

April 29, 2015 by Leo from United Kingdom

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.

waste of time

March 24, 2015 by Nischelle from United States

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.
