Not bad

August 4, 2017 by Travis from United States

Your not going get rich here but most surveys are a decent length great format. I see a lot saying slow payout I cashed out Friday morning and money was in my paypal. Monday morning,

Great Site - Slow Payout

July 17, 2016 by Chris from United States

I usually get around 5-6 new surveys a week, and I typically qualify for 3-4 of them. It will take a little while to accumulate the $50 necessary to cash out, but it takes even longer to actually receive the money. But overall, it's a good, clean, simple site that will allow you to make a little extra somethin'.

Getting better for me

July 9, 2015 by Kevin from United States

The surveys are good just not quite enough of them. The have gotten better in my opinion.

Good but not great, too high of a payout for the amount of surveys you get.

March 18, 2015 by justin from United States

I like this site, it's one of the only sites where i qualify almost every time they send me a survey. I just wish they had more surveys to do, since it takes $50 to cash out. I joined jan 2014 ( it's 3/17/2015 today) and have made 297.60 so far ( just 2.40 from my next payout). At first i would get checks in the mail, they always came quicker than they said they would. They said 6-8 weeks ( i think) and they usually come in 2-4. They now offer paylution so you can have the money go right into your account. Overall i like the site a lot, the only problems are the amount of surveys you get is erratic. You might get 2-3 a day for a few days and then go a week without one, then get 1 a day for a week. With the high payout amount of $50 it can take a while to cashout. It has averaged me 2.5 months to get to $50. But overall it's better than most sites.

Slow Payments

March 16, 2014 by Charlene from United States

I cashed my 50.00 minimum payment on 02-25-14 through PayPal. It is going to take 8 to 12 weeks as they have a high volume of requests. If you request a check it takes 4 to 8 weeks if I recall correctly, I do like them and their surveys, just wished there wasn't such a high minimum 50.00 cash out.
