never get paid

August 3, 2017 by Rita from United States

This site was pretty good when I first started using it, but I was completing surveys, after awhile, and never getting my incentive, and, then, they started with the 3rd party surveys, and I would attempt 5 or 6 at a time with no luck. I finally managed to get my 3rd star for my $2 loyalty credit, which I took in Paypal credit, but, that was nearly a week ago, and I still haven't gotten paid. I have messaged about it, but have received no answer. This new company doesn't seem to be any better. Anyone else?

Wishing for days gone by.

July 30, 2017 by Leisa from United States

Survey sites have been undergoing changes lately. Most have NOT been for the better and Innopoll is NO exception to that. 3 months ago, I would have left a 5 star review. Now, I'm just glad I didn't waste my time doing THAT. I can tell you that 3 months ago there were instant payouts and sometimes, loyalty credits whether or not you qualified. Payouts are still instant but good luck getting one. Now, it seems they are just a last resort for companies collecting data or something. The best example I can give you is today's. I got an invite. Previously, I was guaranteed to at least finish the survey. Now, like today, you will go through 20-30 minutes and get cancelled with NO reward and very likely, almost certainly NO loyalty credit. I kept a tick count today. I answered what state I was from 13 TIMES before being told I didn't qualify. Just an endless loop of qualifying questions. Just when you think you're in- you're ACTUALLY participating in the survey this time-it will buffer and ask you for your age again. Good luck NOT pulling your hair out. I don't know what happened to this formerly AWESOME site but then, I don't know what happened to all the good ones.

I really enjoyed this site for the last month. Received good surveys and rewards until yesterday. I spent 20 minutes and completed a survey--screen even show completion. I received $2 loyalty payment, but nothing for the survey. Sent them email and never received a reply.

Don't hold your breath

April 27, 2022 by Jeffrey from United States

I'd really like to say something positive about forthright because they actually do pay out immediately and their own surveys are well done but stay away from their partner surveys. These pay very little and you'll be lucky to qualify for one out of 20.

VERY disappointed in fee change

July 2, 2020 by Jim from United States

It took awhile, but after researching most of the major social sites for Forthright, I realized that surveypolice.com was probably the best site where my viewpoint and review of an aspect of the company's fee structure could be reviewed.

I was quite disappointed to find out that when I went to make a minor claim for my babies that I had learned on beforthright.com, set a 25 cent charge would be assessed for any claim of less than $10.

You have to be kidding. It is difficult enough to get at least a few dollars accumulated via forthright's Partners surveys, and trying to amass total of $10 might take months at best. I suspect what the company is attempting to do you seeing how many survey takers will take takers will take just a few surveys before they give up, in the company doesn't have to worry about actually paying out an entire $10 fee, and can get several surveys from one survey taker for free. It's a very unethical thing to do.

I will be interested to see if the company responds to, because I am curious to see how they can justify such a blatantly greedy action in order to try to make money I'll survey takers more than they already have.
