They would occasionally work okay before, although long surveys for penny pay, but lately I have completed several very long surveys including watching movies and giving detailed feedback, or reviewing specific products and answering pages and pages of questions in detail, and totally finishing surveys with a thank you for completing and telling me I'm done. They seem to be from legit companies. But just about every time when it sends me back to Samplicious, Samplicious tells me I didn't qualify, which I think is a lie. They just can get away without paying you, while collecting what the company paid them for the survey, and using your feedback and responses illegally without paying for them. I did all that work, completed it, and won't be paid. It's a total scam. There is absolutely no contact information on Samplicio.us web site. They don't want you bothering them. They want to get paid, and not pay you. It's about as simple as that. They are a fraud. Do not use them! BEWARE This is a review on Trustpilot of Samplicious by LaurieSprague and not writen by me.

I really have enjoyed my journey in reaching the gold status. I have learned a lot about taking surveys.

Branded Surveys are well-designed and are fun. They make you think and there are plenty of them! A++

Rather depressing. If I can get all the way through a 100 point survey I feel lucky. I'll keep doing surveys, but my time is really worth more than the payout.

Flagged my account because I read fast and then would not pay me out. Much better companies out there. Don't waste your time.

They discriminate,they are racist,they are misleading,they have a listed BBB rating which is very poor

I enjoy doing this is my spare time. I like that you can make a little money in the meantime and hopefully some more money in the future

Cut off halfway through surveys,some would say "error missing" or would say "surveys fill up quickly" after 3 to 5 minutes into the survey. Its not worth it. They will not pay you.

This website promises the universe and barely delivers anything of note.
(1) Set up: takes 30 minutes (no money made)
(2) Each survey requires a pre-survey to see if you are the target audience. (2-10 minutes without pay)
(2a) 50% of the time you get an apology screen and booted back to the main page saying you don't
match
(3) 2 hours invested and i still haven't reached the magical 500 points to earn the first $5 payout.
Conclusion... waste of time.

I tried twice on two separate accounts to cash out $5. After clicking "redeem" it practically deactivated my account. The response from the support team when I filed a complaint was " We have detected that your survey responses lack in quality and care. In order to ensure we retain quality for our partners, your account has been deactivated." Scam!

Locked out of my account. Support tell me my lock out was for spurious reasons and that my account has been deactivated. I'm unable to redeem my points owed for all the time spent doing this rubbish. Disgusted.

I rejoined branded surveys last Sunday after it was suggested to me that the app is better than doing thier surveys through the website. After a slow start, on Monday, I managed to do plenty, including a one for 104pts, and 100pts.
On Tuesday I was asked for photo ID to log in. After a couple of emails, I was told my account had been flagged and suspended.
I've continued to email, to ask why etc, but now being ignored.
This cannot be right, what are my rights?

It is a little hard to get good surveys and it takes a while to find one that actually gives points, but it actually gives the money you earn with little to no problems.

I have been doing surveys with them on and off for a couple of years. Recently when I signed back in after a break of about a month it seemed as if I was a new account ( I did not do this) Now it says I am locked out and I have money due me. Seems this is happening to alot of people lately.

I love being able to share my opinion and experiences and be able to earn rewards (cash, gift card, etc)!

They locked my account without any warning, even though most of my surveys were of high quality. I explained that this was the first time I'd ever joined a paid surveys site -- I had only had this account for three days-- so I honestly didn't know if I was doing something wrong. Plus there was literally no indication of that: I had even taken their account health test the day before they blocked me, and everything was just fine.
Now they won't even pay me; my request to at least redeem my points --from my 12+ accepted surveys that passed quality review-- was denied. This whole thing seems to be a pattern too, I really don't seem to be the first they've done this to.

TL,DR: They block you for very subjective and arbitrary reasons and then you won't even get paid. Avoid them at all costs.
