Used to Be SO Much Better

July 7, 2016 by Donna from United States

Been a member of ID for quite a few years. I was able to cash out with them at least every other month. These days, the surveys are paying next to nothing and they're OVERLY LONG. Who wants to do a survey that only pays .25 and takes 30 minutes or longer to complete? Have they lost their minds?

waste of time

February 16, 2016 by Bob from United States

It takes about a year or so to cash out. Surveys pay VERY low. I got one recently that paid .25 for 45 minutes and thats not uncommon. Don't waste your time.

Not Worth My Time

December 3, 2015 by Bridgette from United States

I Was Also A Member For A Couple Years And Its Very Slow Earnings Even Working At It Every Other Day.Offers Are Not Changed Very Often And The Pay For Each Could Be Higher.Cash Out/Payment Of $30 Dollars is the Highest I Have Ever Heard For A Survey Site.Also No PayPal Just GiftCards.After I Cashed Out I Contacted Them About My Payment And They Were Very Rude And Unhelpful.The Only Plus Is They Have Live Chat.Worst Part Is They Take Money From You For A Processing Fee.Wow, No Thank You.

Did Not Receive Payment!!!

August 29, 2023 by Sue from United States

These disgusting people did not send my my paypal payment of $15. They come up with every excuse to avoid paying me. I would not recommend them to anyone.

unable to get gift cards.

July 24, 2023 by vicki from United States

So, after 120 hours of work i sent away for 2 $30 Dardens gift certificates. this was May 22 and we were planning to celebrate when our house went under contract. So, Friday decided to get them out of computer and received a notice saying THE LINK HAS EXPIRED. CLICK HERE TO HAVE A NEW LINK SENT. well, clicked both of them many times with no response. Looked all over their site and couldn't find anywhere to write someone who could help. Couldn't find anywhere to do that. Looks like our contract is falling through [less than perfect house had a low price because it is a less than perfect house] a bear broke through what I thought was our predator proof chicken coop and ripped one of our chickens to shreds, which is NOT typical bear behavior so we have a crazy bear on our hands, and I can't even get my gift cards. It hasn't been a good day. Can someone help PLEASE.
