Payment and Rewards

Receive Gifts for Taking Surveys

For every survey you complete, you will receive Shells (NiceQuest's currency). You can redeem these for gift items available from the online shop. These include things like electronics, cosmetics, gourmet products, movie tickets, experiences, and more! Your gift items will be mailed to you free of charge, or will be delivered electronically.. As soon as your gift is shipped, you'll receive an email, which will confirm its delivery. Shipping can take anywhere from 15-40 days for delivery.

Merchandise options include things like children's toys such as Lego sets, bicycles, roller skates, and more. Home appliances like blenders, toasters, etc. are also available.

You can also choose to donate your earnings to great charities and NGO's, or try your luck at winning special prizes by using your Shells to win fun prize draws.

Survey Taking Experience

Receive Compensation, Even If You Get Disqualified

If you get disqualified from a survey, NiceQuest will still credit you with some Shells, even if they already have all the answers they need.

Donate to Charity

NiceQuest allows you to donate your points to charity! Charities supported in the past and currently include Unicef, UNCHR, Equality Now, and Plan International. Help make a difference by donating as little as 40 Shells to your favorite cause.

Monthly Draw Opportunities

Every month, a prize draw is held for everyone who participates in NiceQuest's partner surveys. You will automatically be entered in such draws, so there's no need to redeem your precious Shells for a ticket, but if you want to get in on the action, and improve your chances, you can enter the draws for as little as 10 Shells. These prize draws are held for highly desirable items such as electronics, including the latest iPhone, or a draw for 5,000 Shells.

Community Features

Nicequest App

You can also opt to receive surveys through NiceQuest's app, available on Android and iOS. With hundreds of thousands of downloads, and a positive rating from users, the NiceQuest app makes it convenient to take surveys on the go.

Get Active on Facebook for Points

Earn an extra 50 Shells by taking a photo of you with your gift and uploading it to the NiceQuest fanpage on Facebook with the hashtag #nicePhoto. The most original photo will win 50 Shells each month.

No Gift Cards

September 4, 2018 by abbie from United States

I like this site in that the surveys pay well for the time they take. But actually redeeming your shells for a prize is an entirely different matter. I don't want random gifts. I want a gift card that I can spend where I shop. Amazon gift cards have been out of stock for weeks and when asked, they have no answer as to when they'll be back in stock. So I've been just sitting on shells. I'll not do another survey with them until they have gift cards back in stock.

Hello Abbie,

Apologies about this issue and the inconvenience it may have caused.

Amazon gift cards come in and out of stock depending on supplier availability and because of this we are unable to give a specific date as to when it is actually in stock.

We're constantly updating our catalog and we hope to be able to offer you an alternative to this gift very soon.

Regards,
Everything as Promised

August 28, 2018 by Adam from United States

I started doing surveys for NiceQuest about a year ago. It has taken some time to build up my shells enough to get a worthwhile prize, but I am so glad that I did. Once I had enough points, I made my order with my shells and it was shipped to me within the week and I am fully enjoying it! I appreciate the opportunity to do simple work for something on the side

No Reward

August 24, 2018 by Aisha from United Kingdom

So, I started using nicequest and building up my shells. However, on one occasion I completed a survey which included going to a store and take pictures. However due to technical errors, I was not being able to submit the survey and was not given the promised 100 shells. So my trip to the store was a waste of time and money (fuel). I then decided to get a giftcard using my shells and close my account. However I was sent invalid code for the Mango giftcard and after contacting numerous times, no one is bothered to reply me as to why this happened. Its been over 2 weeks since I am chasing nicequest over the giftcard issue. I wish I would have never joined nicequest.

Never able to redeem rewards

August 9, 2018 by Charles from United States

I saw another review on here about "moving the goal post" It's exactly what they do. If you see a gift card that costs 110 points, once you reach that the cost goes up. You reach the new point total and they raise it again. Don't bother!

Hello Charlie.

We are really sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Recently there have been changes in the prices of some products and in general costs from our providers, because of this, we've had to slightly increase the amount of Shells these gifts cost.

In any case, we're working to reduce it again as soon as possible.
If there’s anything else we can do to help you, don't hesitate to contact us on us.help.nicequest.com

Not a nice quest at all

August 9, 2018 by Jason from United Kingdom

NiceQuest seemed like a great idea, I was moved across from one survey house to NiceQuest. There seems to be a wide variety of items in the rewards section, which is appealing, but they don't tell you how many shells you'll earn before you start a survey, they don't often tell you how long the survey will take you on average. Plus if you order ebooks from them, you have to register to a different site, which then can sell your information elsewhere, in read the ebook, you thought you ordered to own, only to find that, it is just a rental, you have 3 months to read it, then its gone. Also, even in order to get that far, you have to sign up to memberships of these ebook rental sites. It is, therefore, it seems bit misleading for NiceQuest to say you're getting an ebook, when you're really only getting access to it on a rental basis.

Once I'd set up the account with the 3rd party ebook rental store, as requested, I was told that the ebooks "were not available in my country" however, I could then buy a subscription to the site in order to read the books, that I ordered via nice quest. (oh and if I did that, guess who gets a commission for me signing up?)

I complained to nicequest and after about the issue and they replied 6 days later, saying "we don’t’ specify that you are buying an ebook" which may be true, but they also don't say you're only renting it for a limited time.
