Survey Company Discussion & Review Thread

Hello survey lovers! Here is a thread just for you, to discuss various survey companies. The good, the bad and the ugly! Got a rant about a particular company? Here is your chance to vent. By the same token, got nothing but love for your favorite company? Share it with your fellow SD'ers!

The point of this thread is to help educate our fellow survey takers, both old and new, as to which companies are the most reputable to work with. Please keep in mind, however, that what one person may love about a certain company, another person may not.

This is a thread about opinions, but please be fair and honest in your descriptions. No slandering, no referrals, and no discussion of product tests.

In addition, please keep in mind that there are certain companies that, for certain reasons, do not wish to be discussed on message boards. These companies are listed in the survey forum rules, and may be found here.
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=51048&t=929574
You may also reference these rules for other FAQ's.

In addition, it might be helpful to keep a running tally in the Wiki of various survey companies as they come up for discussion. We can work together as a team to do this! Smilie

Have fun!
See Deal

Quote from brcklyr111 :
has anyone done any of the offers for the 1000 dollar or 1500 dollar shopping cards
you have to do the 20 or so offers to get them????

im considering it but i dont want to do it unless somone else has done it with success
Read the terms and conditions carefully. Some are fine but figure youll spend clost to $200 in the offers and they often require you to sign up 20 friends to do the same thing. They do work if you follow the terms and conditions to the letter. If you have done those trials other places then you will automatically DQ from the incentives. I did one where they sent you PS3 games for doing a couple of trials getting a $50 game for $3 isnt too shabby.

I'm a member of Opinion Outpost,...and making about $10 a month. Not much, but who's going to throw away $120 at the end of the year! It's worth the few moments I put in it a week. They just got a new payout,....Amazon codes for every $5 you make!
I also do youdata.com. It's not really a survey, you just fill out your profile, and then receive ads based on that profile. Currently making about $1 a week. It gets paid out into a PayPal account every Friday. These reviews take LITERALLY 25 seconds a week! Being a stay at home mom, I'll take every extra penny I can!!

Hey , I remember that you data website It sounded like a really cool idea (getting paid to watch ads) I tried signing up for it but they would not let me since I don't have text message on my cell phone and I checked around none of my friends pay for text messages anymore!

Is there finally another way to join this site Sparkles?

I just signed up for this tonight and within one minute of finishing my profiles I made $2.76. Seems like a great site. Here's my question though...When the ads pop up, they say they are worth like $.10 or $.12, but then when I go to view them, they always change into $.05 each. Why is that?

Ok, I figured it out on my own. You get $.05 each just to click the reveal button and then the balance of the amount is what you get if you "jump." I thought I wasn't getting anything unless I jumped. I figured it out because I got another one, worth $.20. I'm up to $2.96 and I just joined. This is pretty cool.

Regarding YouData;.....I need some help. I have been doing this for months and all I ever make is 10 or 20 cents. What am I doing wrong? I click on reveal and then collect. HELP!

Eh, I think they just give you a lot of front to get you in the door, and then NOTHING! I rang up $3.66 the other night when I signed up. They just kept coming.

Since then, NOTHING at all.

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I just had a question about e-rewards? I was checking my account today & it says that my membership ends tomorrow (Dec 31, 2009). Does that mean that all of my currency will expire if I don't spend it?

You have to use it within thirty days of your account expiration for the year or you will lose 75% of it.
