This USED to be a decent survey panel. Well, that has gone out the window. They seem to have hatched a new scheme to take advantage of members time in lieu of paying them for it. In March, I signed up for a month long daily diary study that promised a "bonus" well north of $100 for spending the time on it. The only caveat was you had to complete at least 50% of the daily invites. To add to the complexity, each invite was only live for one hour from the time it was sent. To add to that complexity, the invites came at all random times and never the same....some early in the morning, some late in the evening, and various random times thru out the day. Almost as if they were trying to make it virtually impossible to meet the stated goal. Unhindered, I religiously monitored my daily inbox to complete as many as humanly possible and after a long stressful month, managed to complete 84% of them while missing out on the other 16%. This required many hours of effort once the month was tallied up. One month passed, and no word on my hard earned reward. I contact their customer service and am issued a curt reply several days later saying the payments run 3 to 4 weeks behind as they "validate the responses" So..OK...I wait three more weeks and then contact them again.....crickets....no reply at all. I contact them again a third time and I get sent the following: "My apologies! Our records indicate that you didn't finish enough surveys. The minimum is to finish 50% of the surveys provided." Nice forthright. You glean hours of my valuable time for an entire month then simply say "sorry, you did not qualify for the bonus" Makes me wonder how many folks they took advantage of with this same situation. They call it a "bonus" so they can say there was never a dollar amount promised.....just a random reference to "a bonus of well over $100 if you somehow manage to complete them all, with 50% needed to qualify for a payment. I should have known better. Vague from the beginning, the deck stacked against you to try and complete them the entire month. Then crickets for weeks after the activity concluded. They NEVER had any intention of honoring this. Period. The way it was set up, I have no way to prove my participation either. Just the daily email invites I saved every day, which in themselves prove nothing. They knew this when they set it up that way. Been a member of this panel for years. NOT anymore. Best I can do now is report this and warn other survey takers.... STEER CLEAR.......lest you have the same fate befall you!!!!! SHAME on you Forthright!!!

Too few surveys. Surveys are too long and repetitive. No interesting surveys. Pluses: Low threshold for a payout. Payout is immediate. No waiting to get paid.

Do know any more what they are about everything seems to be on hold.

It's a great site if you're a normal tech using person. I'm only a few steps above a Luddite. Lately Forthright has been overrun with SaySoForGood surveys which I refuse to do because endless demographic and socioeconomic questions. You're allowed to make up to $10 a day. You'll never get stiffed after a cashout.

9 out of 10 times you will get screened out. No way to make money on here not even $1. Plenty of better survey sites out there.
