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!

Must...have...extra...7...cents!!!!! I know. I am the same way. A stickler for every penny!! Hey, we work hard for it!

True story: my son did a product test about a year ago. It was for candy, and paid $25.00. The TOS said he would be paid within 6 weeks. That time came and went, and he wasn't paid. I emailed, I called, nothing. My son said, "Mama, just let it go." But there was no way I was letting any survey company get one over on my kiddo!! I kept after them, and finally, after several months of this, my son got his money. Was the back and forth worth $25.00? Yep!! nod

Oh I would have bothered them too, especially for my kid, yep. I am waiting on a $40 gc right now that should have been here and if it doesn't show up by Monday, going to email them again. Just did another short survey for the same panel and it was supposed to pay $10, hope I don't wait as long for that as well. Frown

Yeah---I didn't receive my Last month's incentive {September}, and when I emailed them at the end of October, they said that it was due to Sandy: something was delaying the amazon codes. Finally rec'd Sept in the 1st week of November.

Just finished a trial and completed the survey. Very nice item here too. In the box there was a paper that said if you complete the survey you will also be sent the production model? Just wondering if that is true? Or did I misunderstand?

Does anyone know what is up with Goodmind? I checked their Facebook page and it looks like they have not had a new survey recruitment since before the holidays. I sure hope they aren't having trouble as I enjoy their online studies and they pay well too.
