Worst survey rewards site

August 17, 2021 by Frank from United States

My account was indefinitely suspended for "the accuracy and attentiveness" of surveys. I enter all information correct like I would on any other surveying site. Avoid this site at all costs. They kept my $20 and suspended my account. Avoid at all costs, there's plenty of other surveying apps that don't ban you over something petty.

Wouldn't allow redemption

June 23, 2021 by Daron from Australia

No problems at all, until I reached ten dollars and tried to redeem. They claimed they had detected problems with my answers, and locked my account. My answers were honest and thoughtful with all surveys, and they didn't mention any problems until I claimed the money.

Suspend account when cashing out

November 6, 2020 by Mike from United States

Do not use QuickThoughts. I filled out surveys and earned up to $102 in my balance. When I tried to cash out for Amazon gift cards, my account was frozen. When I emailed the help desk, they said I was found to be inaccurate and unattentive. I asked what I had done, because it wasn't intent to be dishonest and was attentive in my responses. They responded that they couldn't get me specific because it would compromise their internal security. So I not only can't do any surveys but lose out on all my balance.

Banned after 2 good years

September 17, 2020 by Tessa from United States

I had used this app for nearly 2 years with no issues, loved it and took every survey very seriously. My account suddenly had a log in issue, I emailed them and they told me my account was in good standing and would be reactivated in 2 business days. I nicely waited over a week and still couldn't log in. Another email to them and they told me my account was banned, couldn't give me a reason why, and refused to take a second look at my account. I filed a BBB complaint that took them over a month to respond to, and someone said they would look into my account again. Next day I got a email stating my account had a second audit and I was permanently banned.

Please keep in mind, I had my account for almost 2 years. I knew all the rules and followed them closely and accurately. They tell everyone they are banned for the same handful of reasons and it's up to you to decide which one they think you're guilty of. It's usually having more than one account or lying about your answers and being inconsistent, all of which I know I am innocent of. The Amazon credit really helped me, so I was very serious about my membership. I stuck up for Quickthoughts and believed they banned people for good reasons, but this is absolutely not the case. It will happen to you too sooner or later, so make sure to always cash out every $10 and don't let money gather in your account. It's sad to see this app go as it was a daily ritual for me to do my 5 surveys a day, but I have since found other survey sites that pay just as well (or better) and will not look back to Quickthoughts or any SSI/Dynata ran site again.

They'll take your money

August 12, 2020 by Sam from Canada

I would have given them a fantastic review a year ago, but after months of being unable to redeem, they banned me for requesting assistance. It's a story that's common right now for Quickthoughts. Their stakeholders need to disassociate with this company. Everyone gets banned eventually.
