Quality, Trustworthy Panel

January 6, 2013 by J from United States

It takes awhile to get enough point to get any payment, but it's a solid panel and I find that if they send me a survey, I usually qualify. I've probably made $40 over time, but through them I've also gotten access to be on some other online communities and panels that were more lucrative. It's been a stepping stone. And totally legit, so it's hard to argue with that in the dark world of online surveys!

Legit for sure.

You may not get a ton of surveys, but they are typically unique, interesting and not horrible to complete. They do pay out through gift cards irregularly, but they do pay.

I like these guys

Gongos only pays once every three months, but the surveys are way above average and it is easy to get somebody to help you when there is a problem.

Highly recommended!

honest

April 3, 2022 by linda from United States

while you won't get rich on this panel, they at least are honest with you. if you make an honest mistake (i.e. inconsistent answer) they will warn you and just not kick you off the panel like others do (dynata!)

Decent, not a lot of money to be made

May 5, 2017 by Adam from United States

The good: I've never had a problem with a survey I've been sent - either I qualify for it, or I don't, it tells me that in less than a minute, and I still get a dime or two in credit. Surveys I have qualified for, have also paid generally fairly well for the time spent taking them. I especially like one type of survey that I don't often see elsewhere, but have seen several times here, where they just post a short list of questions, you give free-form responses to that list of questions, then you get credit for it, no mindless bubble-filling required :). But the regular surveys are pretty short, too, for what they pay.

The bad: surveys are *stupidly rare*. After several months with this site, I've cashed out once ($5 in Amazon), and am almost able to cash out a second time. So not terribly impressive on that score. Their site is super clunky, too, but... functional, I guess. So no reason not to sign up, just don't expect to make much.
