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.

They have let me down in a big way

August 1, 2020 by Tiffiny from United States

If you had asked me a week ago I would have given them a five-star rating. I got lots of surveys. I was a big proponent of their app. About 4 days ago while trying to redeem $10 for my Amazon code I was told to try back later. I also was not receiving new surveys.
Their reasoning was vague. I have asked them for specifics which I very much doubt that I would get. I told them I was going to report them to the Better Business Bureau and that it was also illegal for them to withhold things that I've already earned. Unfortunately, this is not unusual for them as I have discovered on a Facebook group specifically about them. It's happening to a lot of people. My advice is do not sign up with them. Business has happened to you Don't take it lying down report them on here, to the better business bureau to your state attorney general's office if they owe you money or a gift card I guess. contact their corporate as well as their parent company.

No fair trial

July 10, 2020 by Sharon from United States

I used quick thoughts for around 6 months. I have been doing surveys for over 2 years. I loved doing their surveys. Then one day I couldn't get in my account. I emailed them and they told me I was not being honest on surveys. I couldn't believe that. I mean I have never been accused of that on any survey sites. I tried to to defend myself but they would not let me prove a thing. Anyway I don't think much of them anymore. They lost a good and honest survey taker.
