Awesome Website!

September 17, 2010 by Rick from Canada

Hotspex is a very unique website! Hotspex is very different from the other survey panels that I belong to! I truly believe that Hotspex really tries to keep their surveys interesting to their panel members, by using their cartoon type characters, humour, etc.!

I also like being able to swap earned rewards to "points.com," with other reward programs!

For a truly different survey experience, I highly recommend Hotspex!

unique and fun surveys here

Give them a try

No longer worth the time. Terrible incentives.

September 17, 2010 by Patrick from United States

Hotspex was only marginally recommended when you only needed around 1,470 points for a $10 gift card through the Points.com exchange. That was when you would have to do around 13 fifteen minute surveys plus take the bonus wheel amounts to reach that level.

Now that I finally crested over 1,500 points today for the first time in several months, I log in and find that I now need 2,152 points for the $10 gift card! That's a 50% inflation rate overnight! Maybe I could have gotten that gift card for 1,470 a few weeks ago, but two of their surveys had so many errors in them that they would not complete in IE or Firefox. Emails to their support team led nowhere.

I'm going to stick around long enough to reach 2,152 points so my previous time investment isn't fruitless, but if you were a prospective new member here, I think you're better off looking elsewhere.

fun website, needs more incentive

This site is ok, they do have a good referral system.

It is legitimate, there are better companies, but it is legit and worth joining.

you swap your points to points.com, which is kind of weird.

I have been paid, so I do recommend.

there is some info on better gpts, also surveys and secret shopping on my myspace

Hotspex Is Awesome

September 17, 2010 by Joanne from United States

Hotspex is a wonderful survey panel to join. They really bend over backwards for their panel members and put their all into making the survey experience an exceptional one. Their customer service is very friendly and genuinely care about panel members. They always go to every length make sure that panelists are happy and in-the-know. I have been paid, and it was on the same day that I requested my reward. That was awesome considering with other panels, you're usually forced to wait 4-6 weeks until you receive your reward or incentive. I also won a contest worth $250. with Hotspex about 4 weeks ago (Name the New Spicy Burger Challenge!) and I received excellent panel support, as well as a quick and timely check. I would definitely recommend Hotspex to everyone! They're rising steadily to the top and just keep getting better and better.
