Let your voice be heard and earn cash!

BuzzBack market research has been operating since April 2000 and has a suite of web based tools used to get the opinions of consumers. This panel influences hundreds of brands worldwide with their innovative approaches to research. You will not always be filling out surveys either. Sometimes you will be asked to test a product or brand and be able to keep the product as well.

Variety of rewards offered

BuzzBack offers a diverse selection of reward options to show appreciation for your time! Rewards include Amazon gift cards, retail electronic vouchers, or cash paid via PayPal. You can also take advantage of regular sweepstakes as a member of the panel where you can earn even more money, or donate your earning to charity. User profiles with BuzzBack contain an “Account Snapshot" to show survey takers the amount of rewards they have earned in real time (the rewards may take a few days or about a week to show in a users account after each survey is completed).

Online survey details

BuzzBack knows your time is valuable, so they aim to keep most surveys between 15-20 minutes long. Survey lengths can be longer in some cases, but are rewarded accordingly to the time spent. Many surveys are valued at around $5 each, and a minimum of $15 is required to request earnings. Redemption of full rewards takes 3-4 weeks. The best thing is that BuzzBack is not based on points, and rather focuses on offering a dollar value for the surveys you fill out.

Simple 3 step joining process

  • Step 1: Fill out the registration page, a basic information questionnaire that takes only minutes to complete
  • Step 2: BuzzBack requires you to answer a few upfront questions to see if you qualify for particular sessions, these will be sent by e-mail
  • Step 3: When you qualify for a study, you will be taken into a BuzzBack online survey session where you can share their valuable thoughts about influential brands while earning great rewards!

Eligibility: this panel is open to residents of the United States and international members of all countries. Open to all who are 18+.

Hard to get surveys

February 18, 2012 by Annie from United States

So I've been a me member for like 2 years and I have never made enough to cash out I am finally CLOSE to it, they barely ever send me surveys.

Threshold too high

September 17, 2010 by Catherine from United States

Actually I found they were pretty good in the past and would send me small checks regularly. Now they've switched to PayPal -- which I like -- but I get DQ'd s often that I may never get to the $15 cashout threshold. PayPal is easily administered; they should pay when requested to pay, no matter how much is in a member's "bank."

Few Surveys, Slow Payments

September 17, 2010 by V from United States

After being a member for months, I finally received a $2 survey that I qualified for. I receive less than 1 survey a month. It took 3 months trying to get my payment. Finally, they sent me an email to set me up for Paypal payments. They paid me after 2 more months. There is no member account when you log into the website, so no way to track anything and customer service is virtually nonexistant.

You'll Fight For Incentives

September 17, 2010 by Joseph from United States

I got my last $3 incentive after over 20 weeks of e-mail jousting, and only received it after a threat of reporting to the BBB. I am still fighting for $6 still owed to me from other surveys, and after I receive my incentives, I am gone. Avoid like the plague.

not as good as they once were

September 17, 2010 by Billie from United States

I have been a member for years and never had a problem until this last survey I did which was done either the last part of nov. or very first of Dec. and I still have not received my incentive. I use to get a check from them within a couple weeks after completing the survey
