SurveyJunkie

I started with Survey Junkie on 9/9 and by 9/18 I had made $34+ and spent probably 40 hours taking surveys. I was really enjoying their service and it was a great distraction from my mental health issues plus I got to make a little money... awesome.

Suddenly I stopped having any survey options and after 16 hours of this message I reached out to support to ask of their site was down. Response? Generic e-mail that I violated their terms and they would NOT be able to assist me.

Honestly, I have read the terms and I don't see how anything was violated by me. It's like they decided I MUST be fake for earning so much so quick and the easiest thing to do was cut me off.

So I will never receive the money I worked hard for because according to them they have no obligation to pay once they choose to terminate. 24 hours prior I would have been singing their praises. Not now.

Sad.

Over the years I have been a member of several different survey websites. I can say with 100% conviction that SurveyJunkie offers the lowest paid surveys on the web. The average is $0.35 for a 20 minute survey. You can also expect to get kicked out of the survey or disqualified after having completed all of or most of the questions. Not sure if SurveyJunkie pockets the money or is allowing the survey givers to rob their website patrons. On top of the lowest paid surveys, and getting robbed you can expect to not receive points at all after completing surveys. This happens when you are not disqualified or kicked from the survey, at or near completion, but go through all the steps of completion only to see that the points are not credited to your account. SurveyJunkie claims the points are pending and being held by the survey provider until they review the survey answers. But, given the other issues with this website I definitely have my suspicions. I completed a survey a week ago for 45 cents and it has yet to be credited to my account. ****Update: After waiting a week for my pending points and spending 20 minutes legitimately completing a survey, I just received 3 points(disqualification credit) out of the possible 45 points I was promised for completing the survey. Plain and simple I was >robbed<, of my time and my money.**** Don't be a sucker and waste your time and have your money stolen with this unprofessional, dishonest, penny pinching, thieving bull crap website. Hands down the worst survey website I have ever had the misfortune of being associated with...

I have not been able to get my points for any surveys worth more than thirty points. They would ask you to fill it out and you would spend time doing so. Then at the end it says you're not qualified after you've already given then all this information. They then give you 2 or 3 points to compensate you. By the way 100 points is worth $1. Seems like the only surveys I can get points for are worth only 10 points. It is an absolute waste of time.

I am not sure about the issues others are having but this has seriously worked for me so well I have already told like 5 people and I have just started using this site about 6 days ago. I have already racked up almost 4000 points in this time. Sure it takes a lot of time in a way to get points, but I've already cashed out to make sure this was legit before investing too much time into it and let me tell you it has. I was able to put in my bank information and it said in 4-5 business days the money would be there and it only took 2. SO despite these negative comments, I have had a good experience with this website. After all you know what they say, people are more likely to tell you about something they dislike and doesn't work rather than tell you about something they do like and does.

I was rarely "qualified" for surveys and earned small rewards of 2 or 3 points when "not qualified", but all of a sudden after being a member for 5 months I was unable to see any surveys and got reply that (quote): "Your account activity appears to have violated at least one condition listed in our terms of use and we are unable to assist you..." I was really shocked for getting such a ridiculous clarification and asked them to clarify what was a real reason for the deactivating my account and did NOT get any explanations. In my firm opinion, I was earning a couple of cents per survey I was getting invitation for TOO OFTEN and, moreover, I am a retiree... They unfairly deactivated my account and made me very upset! Poor judgement from their management and policy... It is disgusting to say the least... EH I do NOT recommend this panel!

Took me a couple of weeks to reach 1,000 points only because I kept getting disqualified from every few surveys or they said it filled up. The surveys that you can complete though, give you a good amount of points for the time, such as 50 points in 10 minutes or so. I just feel that this site is sketchy, asking for your address & name. I haven't redeemed my points yet but for anybody who did do they send mail to your address to verify your account?

I have been doing surveys for these guys for about 4 months and it started well. The verification process is a pain in the $#*!, but they did that within a day or two. I cashed out once and they claimed they were going to call me between 7 and 10 business days. That call never came, but after the 10 days, I checked in to my acct. And could cash out the 30ish dollars. No worries, but made me a little nervous after reading these, but I kept on... no problems in months. Steady 10 dollar cash outs every day or two, one day I was particularly bored and managed a 12 dollar pay out in 8 hours. I was impressed, but shortly after, I would click a survey and, without being redirected to any company, it frequently started telling me I must have violated their terms (without ever seeing page one of any survey). Odd, but new surveys directly at the moment of being emailed starting doing it. They never replied to any of my enquiries, and offered for them to compare and answers across the board to my profile. Now they offer only the same closed surveys except for the 35 point Peanut labs surveys, which are listed as 15 to 20 minutes, but their affiliate let's you finish the survey (you know when you get to the classification questions) and just keep redirecting you with no points, just 25 to 45 minute surveys when you have already completed 3... all for that whopping 35 points. All of their other partners now say no surveys are available now as well for most of a week. It has taken 10 days to get to 678. No answers to my questions, again. They were great for a bit and I enjoyed them. They pay garbage compared to others, but it was doable, they offered a good number of and variety of surveys, and their pay out time was excellent. I am going to try to tough out this last payment and I think I will kill my boredom elsewhere. Something happened, but I am not sure what. Too bad.

Out of nowhere banned and took the money I earned, no reasons why, multiple times. No emails, nothing.

Okay so I've been using SurveyJunkie for a while. I've made $10.01 AKA 1001 points with this app. When I tried to redeem my rewards, they were asking me for a phone number to "verify" my account as I haven't put my phone number in my account. When I gave them a phone number to call and verify, which they did within 15 mins as they said but I couldn't pick up so I gave them the number one more time and it took me to a page where I had to put my number as they said they'll call me in 15 mins. AND THEN IT HAS BEEN FOREVER I DIDNT RECEIVE A SINGLE CALL! I contacted them through email and they said to allow them up to 7-10 days to call and reach out to me due to high demands or whatever. It's been over 11 days I didn't receive any call. My another concern is that they don't have a phone number to contact them. How am I supposed to verify my account without a contact number? RIDICULOUS! This app doesn't even deserve a positive review and idk why some people are sugarcoating and leaving sweet comments likeeeee it's so funny and dumb

I have been doing surveys for a while and had no problem. Well today I went to cash in and they said I violated the terms. Said would call in 15 minutes to let me know what happened. Well it's been 5 hours and nothing. If I'm been accused of some sort of violation I would like to know what it is. I'm thinking they just don't want to pay me. It's only $10.52 but I worked my butt off for that. Even if they pay me, I'm done with them. Don't you dare accuse me of something but you cant tell me what it is! BULL$#*!! Parden my language!
