Zero customer service

March 1, 2016 by adam from United Kingdom

Mysurvey is a nightmare. I added up all of the surveys I entered over a two month period, and 70% of them ended up in failure of dsq. Their so-called customer service is amongst the worst I have ever seen from any company. There are numerous technical errors and screen outs, and it takes fully seven days to receive an Amazon e-voucher. I have cancelled my account (before they could de-activate it!), and would urge people to steer clear of it.

The absolute worst

February 28, 2016 by Diego from United States

The fact that this website is one of the best at valuing surveys and providing incentives you actually want, makes the fact that it's the worst all the more painful. You will get to the end of a survey or recording diary, worth a lot of points, and there will be an error page, and you will never hear from "zen desk" ever. It's a waste of time and effort. Just don't do it. Avoid any website that using "zen desk" as their customer support, they're all terrible

What happened

February 28, 2016 by Andrea from United States

For no reason my account was "deactivated" on 02/22/2016. I have been a member for too many years to count. I have completed countless diaries on my spending for a month at a time, beverage diaries, and personal care diaries. I always received the points for these and never had a problem until now. I, like the others who have complained, have issued numerous "contact" forms and so far none have been acknowledged. It is sad that a site that had been so reliable has deteriorated to this.

de-activated my account

February 28, 2016 by TINA from Canada

After a few years of completing surveys on this panel I found my account has been deactivated suddenly. There was no notification of upcoming changes and emails to 'help' are being bounced back as 'undeliverable' no response from host. I guess the few thousand points I had accumulated are lost. This is not a nice way to treat people for their time or loyalty. Very disappointed.

Not worth investing your time

February 26, 2016 by Johnathan from United States

I'd give this place zero stars if it'd let me. Now, this site definitely isn't a scam but once you spend a good amount of time there you'll feel like it is. Which is a shame because you can do really cool and interesting surveys where you can even try some products out yourself, that was the only redeeming thing about MySurvey for me. I hope you never run into any problems (you definitely will) because if you do good luck getting a timely response, it can take days, weeks, or even months and the first message is usually some copy-pasted generic response. It's very difficult to get into contact with someone there about an issue, heck I got my account deactivated out of the blue and messaged them last week with no word from them yet. I made an account here specifically to warn you about this site, even when you get paid it'll usually take the full 10 days out of the 5-10 day waiting period. They absolutely do not respect your time, I've had surveys where I make it to the last screen after spending so much time on it only to get an error message and no points to show for it and I can't even report that specific test as broken. There are much better options for you that will respect your time and despite the good things this site offers it ain't worth the headache.
