never get to complete surveys

December 5, 2018 by JILL from Australia

I have been with my survey for a for a few years and rarely get approved for any surveys. last month i was sent 58 surveys and only approved for 8, i only have a few points left for my next cash out, then will be terminating, as no longer worth my time.

Still NO Response

November 20, 2018 by Deidre from United States

I still cannot get a response from the MySurvey website regarding my account being marked inactive. I have been a member of this survey site more than 7 YEARS!! This is ridiculous. I cannot even find a phone number and have no way other than message on the website to make contact.

Discouraging

November 18, 2018 by Crystal from United States

I have been a faithful member of this site for over 5 years. I feel I must warn others. When you do get qualified for a survey and get the points it is all great. They send the rewards and I love it. However, lately, I've been either not qualifying for 3/4's of the surveys or when I complete the surveys I reach an error page. I submit a problem report, asking them to reimburse the points when I have completely finished a survey in good faith they really should give the points. The latest comment AFTER 4 MONTHS OF WAITING was "After further investigation, it appears your participation for these surveys was not recorded by our server. I am sorry to inform you that if the survey was not recorded as completed, the data you provided cannot be used, and points are not provided in those cases.". In my humble opinion this is completely unacceptable. If a person takes the time to complete a survey they should be reimbursed for their time, period! It is not our problem their server/computer is having issues. Other survey sites WILL reimburse their customers for the full points given, no questions asked. My Survey is literally stealing time/money from their customers. Watch out! Participate with the knowledge that you may be ripped off. I felt it was my duty to speak up.

An addition added 11-17-2018:My husband has worked faithfully, honestly and truthfully for the past many years on this site. In August he no longer was receiving surveys. He sent a request for help and no response until today, 11/17, 3 long months later. They informed him an audit has shown he was fraudulent in his answers. There is no evidence that was shown to him of this fact and he was found guilty without being able to defend himself. Just before this he had worked very HARD all year to build up points and cashed out. I'm wondering if this triggered it. This survey site is absolutely TERRIBLE. Half of the surveys you complete and they send you to an error page and you get NO points. Others are mostly disqualifications and the few that you do get are rare. I'm so sad for him, he worked hard and did well. Grateful for the other survey sites that are honest and understand that sometimes people get tired and may press the wrong key at times which would lead to discrepancies. We are only human after all. Thank you for letting me help others be aware of this, you may want to cash out often as they can shut you down at any time. Thank you.

Excellent Survey Site, Great & Interesting Surveys - Good Point System

November 17, 2018 by Lorraine from United States

I have been a member of MySurvey for many years. Recently, I requested a password reset, after years of being inactive. It took some research on their end to find me in their system after years of inactivity. They handled it expertly, found me, reinstated me, and I am now continuing with them. The surveys are still very interesting, time for surveys are fairly accurate. The payout is very good. Sometimes, the system is slow, yet refreshing, clearing cache, browser, and history definitely helps. Customer Service is very good, they do all to help keep their panelists happy. Although everyone has various experiences, my experience with MySurvey has been a very good one over the years. I think it is a very good website. Many rewards have been added, some changed since they merged with LightSpeed. I would recommend this survey website.

Not what they used to be

October 19, 2018 by Jim from United States

Unfortunately, MySurvey has gone downhill over the years. About 1/3 of the times when I complete surveys (it actually says "finished" ) I am not compensated. When I write to MySurvey I do not receive any answer or compensation--only a reference that the issue was "resolved". Apparently their definition of "resolved" is different than mine....
