Can rarely qualify

December 1, 2016 by David from United Kingdom

This site seems to get good reviews, some have obviously been luckier than i have, get screened out after certain questions, sometimes quite far on in the survey, I have cashed out once and rewards are generous if you qualify.

Any surveys at all for me??

November 22, 2016 by Tanya from United Kingdom

Just one survey would be nice! Have not had any so far. Very strange. Try your luck anyway it seems to be a nice site but thats all I can say for now. Will update when/if I get a survey.

***UPDATE*** So I got my first survey and I am very pleased with how quick it credited. I am just going to assume that because of demographics I get less than others which is fine as I use other survey sites. Might be a slow earner for me but if the pay up when I get to the cashout point I can't see the harm in it.

Not as good as it used to be

June 4, 2014 by James from United Kingdom

Been a member for several years now. Since acquired by SurveyBods, surveys have become less frequent and I'm often screened out (even after completing the bulk of the survey, when the demographic questions are at the end). Quite a few surveys are also now just for entry in a prize draw, and don't count towards your balance.

Good enough but Not for all surveys

January 27, 2018 by Leo from United Kingdom

In previous review, I expressed problems I had with their 3 strike rule (which anyway is a silly rule in my opinion).
However, I have a clear 3 stars, and I slowly restarted to complete their surveys, BUT only those that seem easy to follow, without questions that can lead to misunderstanding, otherwise I just close the survey. At times, I find not a great logic in their questions, or not a clear cut when the subject changed. ...

Surveys have nice layout, are paid good average, their BACS payments are in time, I like the introduction of some paid polls.

There are also many less or not at all layout errors now compared to time ago. Customer service is about the same, if they want to be nice they are, otherwise they just ignore you.

They offer more surveys/polls than other companies although qualifying is a different matter.

Pulling it back a little (2017 Update)

April 5, 2017 by Nick from United Kingdom

The other year, when this site was actively pushing for the Survey Police top ranking, this outfit were genuinely good, however since topping the charts, both the quality and quantity of surveys have tailed off.

What prompted me to write this review was the latest survey I just endured.

Firstly, it was way over the stated time, in other words, I was being underpaid for it, essentially ripped off, secondly, after plowing through what was around double the promised length, I was screened out.

Basically, they are now no better than MySurvey, ValuedOpinions, Toluna etc. They are just cheap data churners like the rest. And that's the last time I take any care or time in completing one of their surveys.

The majority of the reviews here are based on past glories, and have no relevance now. They are now just another rubbish survey collator like the rest.

February 2017 update, things have improved somewhat since the low period they hit at the time of my initial review. Surveys now appear to be better targeted and I haven't had any particularly obnoxious long screenouts for a while.

They do still have an issue where the survey page refuses to load, refreshing the page usually allows you to continue, however some not, forcing you to abandon the survey (which appears to be an issue on their end as this happens in any browser - Mac or PC or mobile). To their credit, they have responded to my issues and given me a few points for the trouble,

Their mobile app still insists on using you location data until you force the app off or run out of battery, it's impossible for them not to be aware of this as it's well documented in the app store reviews.

On balance, I'll cautiously up their rating, with a hope that they return to their former top ten winning performance.
