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!

Is Idea shifters having issues? I keep trying to contact them via the contact us link on the site, but all my email is getting returned. I don't see another way to contact them.

Also received an email from American Generations saying they were closing. I can't remember getting anything from them.

I've been having the same problems. There was an earlier thread that stated [email protected] was used. I've been using that {w/out any response} but at least the emails haven't been bounced back. I cashed out on 02/01 & have yet to elicit a response. Good luck to all of us!

After 3 emails they finally sent me a gift card. The thing is, they're missing one. I cashed out and then did some follow up surveys for a PT so I was able to cash out again.

Does anyone do surveys for Esearch? I just got my first survey today and it said I would be paid by June 25th. Do they really take that long to pay?

Typically, yes, and sometimes longer. They have always paid me, but there is a bit of a wait involved. I just keep an eye on the dates, and email them if it goes beyond that. They have always replied, and payment comes Smilie
