That's nice that they offer promotions like the current Points In Bloom promotion. The main problem is trying to complete 40 surveys that are worth 20 points or more in 2 days. Especially when it is always seems to be difficult to complete surveys worth 20 points or more when they offer promotions of this nature. Now that there is only 4 hours left, it is even that much more difficult to find surveys worth 20 points or more & when you do, getting them to work is extremely challenging. Survey Junkie should give a few more days than just two days to complete 40 surveys worth 20 points or more. Unless you want to spend a lot of time in 2 days on the site trying to attempt it, it's not possible. Also if you do accomplish it, they should pay you more than $10. I'm sure they are making much more for using our answers.
It's funny that Survey Junkie is currently offering a 1500 point bonus between March 6 and March 17. You have to complete surveys worth 20 points or more to receive the bonus. The funny part is that today the available surveys are only worth 15 points so far (see screenshot). Seems a little more than just coincidental.
I have been a member for a while but lately they have been playing games. I have been trying to do surveys all day and have not completed one survey since about 10 this morning. Because of this I cannot finish their contest nor can I cash out, I feel like I am being cheated.
Get ready for nothing but anti-conservative surveys that glorify liberals and spread false narratives in an effort to sway those who must be senile or brain dead. And good luck sending in pics of your driver's license or passport, along with a selfie, in order to get any type of compensation. You're lucky if you can make $10 a day while giving up your personal information nonstop.
I have worked many hours on Survey Junky and so far made the equivalent of $4. If you are happy making from.50 cents to $1 an hour, then go for it. Otherwise, skip it.
I diligently worked surveys on a promotion they sponsored. I needed to do 10 or more 20 point surveys on the first day and again on the 2nd day. They called it tier 2 & 3. I also needed to have completed 3 or more 20 point surveys for 7 days within their promo time frame. I actually completed more than required and I got nothing. Not even an answer to the complaint. Seems they draw you in paying you then things start to get weird. Less surveys when you need them or with less points. If you have nothing to do with your time you can waste it on survey junkie.
On June 3rd, 2024, I watched 3 episodes of a new TV series. I answered all the questions properly and did everything I was supposed to. I didn't like the series and was very honest about it. After 2 weeks, I emailed Survey Junkie, because with other websites (EveryoneSeez), I am usually paid around that time, they said that if I didn't receive the 700 points by July 3rd, then get back to them. Again, with other websites, I am usually paid within 2 weeks, and I have never had a problem. Today, July 5th, 2024, I received an email that my responses were not accepted (I have never had these problems with other sites), and I would not be receiving the 700 points. This is unacceptable and egregious business pratices. Here is their response:

Website is a complete scam. They are paying you in penny's to sell your information. Not only are they not paying out but they make you agree to sell your data yet you get all the way through a survey just for the end to pay you 3 cents. I'm not kidding. They are taking your time and your data and selling it to scammers and criminals. We need to sue.
Hello everyone, I'm here because I'm finally getting really fed up with survey junkie. I can see through the b.s of them taking advantage. After you do spend hours to get to 500($5.00) that's when you are able to redeem. Once you are there the survey amount drops super low and the times go up. They know you can cash out and they don't want to keep paying. I will say however when you are eligible to cash out they do pay out. They need to fix glitches, compensate for time lost, surveys should say what they are looking for before you even give out d.o.b and zip. Nothing is free so why give info for free?. I have screenshots of the bs.
I tried to redeem my points by transfer to my checking account. The money never got there. And my points were gone. Customer service said I had to verify my account. When I went to verify my account there was a message that said my account was under review and that I could verify in two days. That was several weeks ago. Twice customer service said the verification issue was fixed and that I could now verify my account. Both times was a lie. This morning I received the same canned message that I have been receiving for several weeks that they are busy but they are working on it. I wish I had only compliments.
My opinion survey junkie is exposing you to potential identity theft. The survey ask questions like. What bank do you have? How many phones work in your home? Do you have a landline phone? They use samplico it tracks your phone, your locations etc. Many surveys will have the caution triangle sign, stating the site is unsave. You and friends can be on the survey junkie site and you have 2 surveys and they have 10. The surveys ask you over and over separately if you're spanish. If you are you're automatically kicked out the survey. The spanish race question is separated from the other races. Intrusive question like what color your skin is and your weight. Questions like how much money is in your checking and savings account? What savings are in your parents bank accounts? Yet the survey is suppose to be about grocery shopping habits. Also it seems like if you're not a Republican you are automatically kicked out. My phone started get several phishing emails and calls. Some surveys actually ask for your address and your children birthdays. I've been taking a survey for 10 minutes then suddenly I'm kicked off the survey after answering all the question but no points. It seems on $100,000 plus income seems get to participate in the surveys. My opinion it's unsafe and not worth it.
I been use junkie since 2019, now all changes and BIG SCAMS! Don't waste your time on surveys junkie. I now move on other websites. Surveys junkie steal your idea and gave u no 0 points after complete 20 min it's wasted your time Surveys junkie must be banned
I keep finding several of the surveys offered far exceed the times posted as expectations to complete.
This app is a waste of time they have you do the whole survey then when you're done with the whole survey they say the survey is full. Why would you have me do the whole survey if it was already full. B.S. This app socks don't waste your time. VERY NOT WORTH IT!
Start from the beginning. I had an iPhone and the frame is so small that it was hurt my eyes so I went out and got an iPod because the print bigger well I told him about it and once I got the iPod running. I deleted off my phone the app for survey junkie while I was on my iPad. I'm not too mechanically inclined with computers I had like 1400 points on it and somehow it disappeared so I got another email to start logging on made 450 points and then I was seven I found the other one in my trash mail well I told them about that. They were both on the same tablet same email and once I get the 451 up to 500 where I can cash it in I did and I close that account out on my iPad. I told him about that and then I wrote back to me, so which one do you want and I wrote to him told him that I want the one on the iPod, oh then I didn't hear nothing from him so I wrote him a letter and I found out I was blocked. So I think I was just Lee treated unfair personally. I wasn't trying to pull a fast one or anything night. I let them know what I was doing. I mean I enjoy doing a Surveys. They quite a little a lot of money on it but I still think it was right at what I did John Cabe
I was taking Online Surveys with a Survey Junkie. Survey Junkie is Fraudulent and Discriminates against people of color. Survey Junkie's support and Customer support should all be investigated. I recently had my account banned without reason. I have done nothing to violate Survey Junkie terms. I noticed an increase in Fraudulent and suspicious activity prior to me being banned. Survey Junkie changed the entire setup of their website and later switched it back to the original setup after banning me. I would complete numerous of surveys without being compensated. I would receive an missing URL error in the place of my points. I thought creating a new account would solve the issue. I reached out to Survey Junkie support and a member beginning with the letter K informed me to reach out to her after I create a new account so that she could deactivate the previous one. I have screenshots. Once I reached out to her she banned my account! Not one single thing is right about this. In actuality this was a passive aggressive tactic of Survey Junkie's support to ban me from their platform. It's clear there is definitely a personal problem towards me. I would be asked repeatedly to confirm my device and never had before. I reached out to Survey Junkie support about this new change. A member informed me every Survey Junkie member was experiencing this ( which is a lie I read several online reviews and not once did anyone mention this). I have taken screenshots below. I have taken screenshots below of all of the FRAUDULENT, DISCRIMINATION and SUSPICIOUS activity. You will also notice the screenshots where Survey Junkie switched their entire website setup towards me.
You have to e-verify sending your driver's license to receive $5.00. Plus take a photo. Survey Junkie will ask you over 20 questions then say you don't qualify give you 2 or 3 points after clearly you completed a survey. I was doing surveys fine. Survey Junkie had a Xmas contest suddenly no surveys available. Some of the questions ask you your email and home address, phone #, your children's names and birthdays. How much your parents have invested. My opinion too many race questions. They ask the Hispanic question more like it's a census. The ask if your gay over and over. Why? They asked your hair type on a voting question. The surveys are also done outside of the US. I don't know how safe it is from cyber theft. Since I've been doing surveys my phone is getting several fake messages saying I have a package waiting please complete my address. My opinion surveys seems to only accept certain demographics. Surveys ask where are you doing the surveys house, Cafe etc. The surveys seem very intrusive. Some surveys ask you your Facebook account page info. I've done surveys for over 15 minutes then was kicked out right at the end. Some surveys kick you out saying you weren't being truthful although you haven't answered 1 questions. That makes your score go down so you get less surveys. It takes 4 hours to get $3.00. I did while I was watching tv.
When I joined this app I actually enjoyed taking surveys and made money really quick. But after a couple of payouts they started disqualifying me from almost every other survey and giving a mere 3 cents for wasting my time. Sometimes you complete an entire survey and then suddenly there is an error and you get nothing! This is very disappointing and disillusioning after a while. I think they have an algorithm which slows down people from making any money after they've taken few payouts!
I don't enjoy survey junkie anymore and they are just like any other survey site scamming people of their time and efforts!
It is all fake don't waste your time!
Every time you start a review it says thank you and does not give you the points!
This site used to be great and it was honestly really quick for me to get to 5 bucks and cash out while on slow office days but now they make you verify your identity using drivers license or government ID or they won't let you cash out. The hell I'm getting my identity stolen over 5 dollars lol NOPE
I sometimes wonder why I took the time filling out all of that profile information when I never qualify for any of the surveys I do get. It's been nothing but expired surveys and ones I've already completed or topics I've already indicated I care nothing about.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't watch television, I don't use social media, I don't care about sports - so, basically, I don't get to complete any surveys.
The ones I do manage to take will either abruptly end, accusing me of being dishonest/inconsistent/rushing, or I reach the end of 20 minutes spent answering to be told the survey's full and I don't get Jack $#*! for my time.
Some days I can spend hours attempting to complete or even qualify for a single survey and walk away with mere pennies of a pittance when the site yet again fails to properly match me with one I can spend more than 10 seconds before being told the rest of the survey will not be relevant.
If you're looking for a beer money hobby along these lines, I'd recommend Branded Surveys or some-such over this site. Not a single issue since I signed up at the same time last year, and I actually managed to casually rack up $700+ to Survey Junkie's pitiful $150~ in only a couple hours per four or five days a week ever since then.
Answer: I'm having the same issue rip I don't think we're getting it back
Answer: Don't bother. They won't pay you. Survey Junkie is a scam.
