Totally gone downhill

February 28, 2015 by Andrew from United States

This is my first review ever. I've been a member of MySurvey for 6 years, and am on the verge of quitting. Ever since they joined up with Global Test Market, MySurvey has been declining. The surveys take way too long to load - even worse if they have video - and I rarely ever qualify compared to other survey sites. I also do not like that they make it extremely difficult to edit demographic information in your profile if the composition of your household changes (new baby, get married, etc.). MySurvey does not give a link to contact them through the site with any questions or issues - their contact page only has their snail mail address (!).

The last straw for me came during the past couple of weeks, when MySurvey decided to begin almost every survey with ridiculous random questions that have nothing to do with the survey and are really annoying. Do you have a ferret? Do you own a crab pot? Have you traveled to Luxembourg in the past six months?; etc. the answers don't matter, anyway. When I said that I owned a bird, I didn't suddenly start getting surveys about birds or bird care. Why would it be any different if I owned a ferret or a crab pot?

In the past, I would get these questions about 4% of the time, and I could easily just skip those surveys. Now, there are very few surveys that do not have ask these silly questions.

There was a time when I could make close to $100 a year on MySurvey, but I'm afraid those days are gone. Right now, I'm debating now whether it's worth getting up to the next $10 and then closing out, or if I should just quit now. It's become a complete waste of time.

You won't qualify often!

February 22, 2015 by John from United States

MySurvey used to be a good company up until about a year ago. Now, you'll only qualify for about 2% of their surveys; even when your profiles are kept up to date. The only reason I'm giving them 1 star is because they do actually pay out if you can even reach the $10 threshold!

Ugly

February 21, 2015 by Roger from Canada

I too am just waiting to cash out and say goodbye. James had it right in his Feb 1st review. Massive screening out often after quite a while, no progress bar for interminable surveys that are PAINFUL to complete,rewards are a joke. Do you really want to spend your time for less than $2./hr? As long as some will the company will survive I guess.

what a laugh!

My Survey!

They mislead you into winning loads of money - then let you win up to £30 - then the surveys either dry up, you are told you are not eligible or continuously receive surveys that are full of errors.

When you do win anything they keep you waiting with the old "working days" line!

Let's see the biggest mass un-subscription in history start right here right now!

Problems

February 6, 2015 by Walt from United States

I've been a member now for 5 years. You can make a little money here but not much. I get about 50 dollars a year. One problem here is I get screened out of most surveys and the ones I do complete many show an error message and I don't get rewards for them. Also they have month long diary surveys. I've completed 3 of them and when I try to submit them at the end of the month get an error message. Their help desk is no help at all I just get useless tips that are no help.
