QuickThoughts is unique in that it connects you with 1000's of online survey sources, making a constant number of surveys available to take.

Mobile survey lengths vary, but typically take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. Surveys award between $0.50 - $3 each. You will even receive $0.10 if you are screened out!

Just WOW

December 10, 2019 by Tina from United States

I should have listened to these reviews to begin with. Was great "at first" and after cashing in the first time I continued to do surveys and then out of the blue I was locked out. Have sent emails with no response and I have money left in my account I can't get to. My advice is to not cash out until you are ok with being locked out and only cash out when you have an even amount so you get all your money.

Hi Tina,

Thank you for reviewing us. We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with your experience with us.

On occasion some accounts are flagged, and following a thorough review a few of those accounts will regrettably need to remain closed as they have breached the user agreement or engaged in activity not permitted on the specific panel.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
The QuickThoughts Team
Terrible experience

November 15, 2019 by Andrei from Canada

Hi,

I used this palform on IPhone and several times received itunes gift cards .
But when I wanted to use this platform on android, my account has been temporarily suspended..

Technical support instead, in order to help solve the problem, decided to block permanent my account.

P.S. If you read my review, then it is better to consider other platforms, otherwise you will most likely have the same fate.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

I got the app and it was great, got my account up to almost 20 and went to cash out but couldn't, waited the 72 hours to take more surveys and cash out and my account was locked. Sent 3 emails to customer service and no response. Such a waste of time and not worth it at all. I've read about this happening to others as well so take it as a warning.

Same recent experience

April 28, 2019 by Greg from United States

Worked reasonably well for months, despite glitches that when finishing some surveys would not credit.

Built up a good balance, then redeemed two $10 codes. Immediately after the second redemption, the App indicated 'no network connection '. This persists today.

Emailed customer service and nine days later received the same vague canned response being banned indefinitely. Have emailed back trying to get specifics for the ban, but have not gotten a response.

It may be worth to contact BBB. From reading the other posts, there is a pattern of banning participants in order to avoid payouts.

Bad site!

April 26, 2019 by Maria from United States

I never leave reviews for survey companies but I felt I must for this one. I am in the same situation as everyone else. Last week when I tried to cash in for a $10 GC, my acct. went to the login and I got an network error message. I have tried to contact them but haven't heard anything back yet. I have been doing online surveys for 19 years and am very careful how I fill out the surveys. I take it very seriously even though it is for low pay. What they are doing is simply wrong!

UPDATE: I am editing this to say I just got the same canned answer as everyone else saying that my acct. was suspended because I was in violation of the terms. Of which they did not give me any details.

I read the complaints on the BBB and discovered that QT was responding there and sometimes giving back people's money and reinstating their accts. So that is one option open to us.
