Survey Junkie is an online platform that connects its 20 million members to research studies in the form of online surveys from big brands and market research companies. Members can earn their choice of cash or gift cards in exchange for their participation.

It is available to residents of the USA, UK, Canada and Australia.

Earn up to $40 Per Month

With Survey Junkie, you can participate in online surveys on your computer or using the app in order to earn rewards including cash paid to your PayPal account (or gift cards and bank transfers in the USA). For prospective members wondering how much they can make from Survey Junkie, the site advertises that members who complete three surveys daily and can earn as much as $40 monthly. Creating an account is free and can be done via your Facebook or Google account.

New Member Sign Up Bonuses

New members of SurveyJunkie receive 25 free points immediately after signing up and an additional 25 points for confirming their e-mail address. Fill out the profilers to earn 10-50 points per profiler. Joining, clicking the confirmation link in your e-mail and filling out the general profiler is worth 100 points in total ($1.00). With a minimum cash out of $5.00, this is 20% of the way to an initial reward!

Survey Lengths

The average length of time it takes to complete a survey with Survey Junkie is 15 minutes. The estimated time for completions is stated on survey invitations (or in the app). New surveys are available daily.

Short Point Approval Times

Once you take a survey, it may take up to 24 hours to approve your points. Points do not expire as long as you are an active member. In order to be considered 'active', simply log in to your Survey Junkie account and complete a survey within a 12 month period.

Earn Cash for Completing Surveys

With just $5 worth of survey earnings (500 points), you can 'cash out' your points balance for two cash options:

• PayPal - receive an instant PayPal payment by selecting this rewards option. Note that you must redeem your full points balance when selecting PayPal for reward payments.
• Bank transfer (USA only) - If you live in the USA, you can choose to receive a bank transfer payment. Bank transfers are handled by a third-party partner and take 3-4 business days to complete and are a safe way to receive your money.

Choose a Gift Card Instead

If you live in the USA, you can also choose to redeem your points for e-gift cards. e-gift cards are available in denominations of $5, $10, $15, $20, $25 and $50. You can choose from major retailers including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Sephora, Groupon, Apple and Starbucks. You can also select a pre-paid Visa card.

Earn Points for Disqualifications

If you attempt to complete a survey but get disqualified before you're able to finish it, Survey Junkie will still credit your account with 2-3 points. Payouts for surveys themselves vary and will depend on the length of the survey, how difficult it is to qualify, as well as other criteria.

To increase your chances of qualifying for a survey, look for surveys that have green diamonds. These indicate surveys that you are most likely to be able to successfully complete. Red diamonds on the other hand, may carry higher payouts, but will have the lowest chance of being able to complete.

Complete Profile Surveys to Earn Points and Get Better Matched

Survey Junkie has numerous profile surveys available to members in their account dashboards. Complete these profilers to earn 10-50 points for each completion, and benefit from being better matched to future surveys.

Survey Junkie Awards

Unlock badges by reaching key milestones such as completing profiles, tutorials, taking your first survey, reaching your first 300 points, etc. Each badge completion awards anywhere from 5-10 points and can be found under the 'Awards' link located at the top of your account dashboard.

Survey Junkie App

Survey Junkie has a mobile app available on Google Play, for Android phone users and in the Apple store for iOS users. The app functions similarly to the website in that you can take surveys, check your available points balance, and redeem rewards. The Survey Junkie app will notify you when new surveys become available, which can be helpful in reducing the chances of being disqualified from a survey if you are one of the first respondents to complete a survey.

BBB Accreditation

Survey Junkie is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Glendale, California and maintains a solid BBB rating. They have hundreds of reviews posted on the BBB's website, most of which are positive and amount to a star rating that's between 4-5 stars.

Survey Junkie Pulse

Survey Junkie Pulse is a browser extension (you can install it via the mobile app, too) US residents can install in order to receive exclusive surveys that are based on your browsing activity. You'll receive a notification of new surveys directly in your browser, as soon a survey becomes available. SJ Pulse is designed to connect you with surveys based on your browsing interests and does not collect personal information such as passwords, emails, credit card information, etc.

Keep the extension enabled for 30 days on your desktop computer, and receive bonus points credited to your Survey Junkie account! As an added bonus, SJ Pulse users may also receive access to exclusive surveys that SJ Opinion users may not receive.

Is Survey Junkie Legit

Survey Junkie is not a scam and is considered to be a safe and legitimate survey panel. It is a real website which you can use to earn gift vouchers and cash in exchange for participating in online surveys. They are a member of the BBB and have a good reputation there.

Although everyone's experience with the website may be different in terms of whether it's worth the time and how much you can ultimately earn, with over 20 million survey takers registered on their site, Survey Junkie is legit.

Eligibility: Residents of USA, UK*, Canada, Australia, 16+ only.
*Survey Junkie opened up their panel to UK residents in late 2022.

I really like this survey site because it's fun and easy to do. I check in on it every day.

May 20, 2020 by Kevin from United States

Let me be clear from the start... I take great pride in slamming a company. I will without a shadow of a doubt give the worst review possible when I feel slightly or disrespected. Rarely does a company or service get praise from me.

Why? It's your job to cater to my needs. You're not the boss and while I may or may not affect your bottom line personally..
My opinion will influence others.

Take Survey Junkie for instance. I've been performing surveys now for approximately a year. While I'll never get rich, I appreciate my opinion being heard.

I've read several reviews in the past about SJ. The majority of them written by dissatisfied surveyers. Most of which their gripes petty, childish and written from a victim perspective. In all fairness, I too am not immune.

Like everyone else, I've suffered the usual technological hiccups, that comes with taking survey's electronically. And quite frankly some really piss me off.

So true to form, I contact Survey Junkies Customer Support to lodge my complaints.

It is at this point of the game, I get amazed and astounded.

Never once has SJ not listened to my whining and complaining without making it right. They in my humble opinion go above and beyond to correct whatever petty gripe I throw at them. They investigate, they get back to me in a timely manner and correct legitimate items needing correction.

I am sure that for e every positive thing I can say about SJ, someone will find something negative.

I am truly happy to be associated with Survey Junkie. And, as long as they keep adding surveys to my dashboard, as long as I don't get screened out or otherwise not qualify.... I'll keep completing them!

Easy to understand and frequently receive surveys for rewards that are easy to redeem. Can also receive products to review and the Best Of the Survey Sites.

May 20, 2020 by Brian from United States

I love during surveys but I don't think that the question such as do you think the country is moving in the right direction or on the wrong track? I love what Trump is doing with the economy especially what he has done for the veterans, but the proven lies and race relations are the worst I've seen and the proven retaliation firing is horrible, so this is a question I always have a problem with. Usually the questions are straight forward and easily understood other then this the surveys are great.

Complete a survey and then given 0 points or 2 points. Contact customer service and they say it's not them it's the survey so no points for you.
Constantly getting garbage surveys which makes it frustrating when you spend 25 minutes for 2 cents---literally---
