Same here, I registered for almost four or five years, never received any offer from this site. They just simply make sure everyone leaves reviews for tons of stuffs and they can get money from these product companies. From the step where they ask you to review products first is where they start to lure you. Do not expect you will receive medium or high-end level products. They make you "work" for free and that's it.

It's obviously the typical pyramid selling approach. They use your genuine reviews that you spent hours writing to give outsider people illusion- the products they introduce is the best on the market, and you should "purchase" it right away! This is how they create tension and competition. Making you think you are worth nothing if you do not follow their rules! They manipulate your data in order to gain more profits!

They either give dollar value coupon and force you to purchase something you were not actually wanted to purchase. They are just marketing strategy selling company! Only the people who write the most reviews get the opportunity to review new or better products. I'm not saying it's unethical, it's just not worth the time to do it! There are people who got the chance to review new products. Just not me, or you. It's like a person holds one bottle of water in desert. You can see him but when you try to reach him, he disappeared!

I already canceled my account half a year ago. I didn't write many review, I only wrote like 2 or 3. If you don't believe me I've got nothing to say! I'm not the type of person who would like to write reviews for everything that I purchase. What I suggest is control your urge of purchasing products. This way no one can control you.

Anyways, don't risk your health on test products and your time to them!

Why did I stop using their website and refused to write reviews? Because I've seen a lot of people try their best to write reviews, it's like imagine another hundreds of myself trying to "work" this way out, it is just insanely crazy. Luckily I didn't sink too deeply.

For god sake, just search out how many this type of companies are out there. I do not really care about how other people use a product and what's their opinion, even if it's brilliant in their own way, I still do not because this type of companies only cares about profits. They do not improve on their customer service, look how many employee they have. If they really care about customers they would work like other product-testing companies!

I just recently started to do surveys with this website.It was at the end of December 2019. I started to receive fewer surveys and not being able to be qualified for surveys on this website somehow, so I decided to skip this website for one week And then in January 2020, when I logged in back I noticed an "claimed order" of which deducting $4 from my account. However I didn't do that at all. I didn't authorize anyone to do that and Everyone knows you need to REACH over $6.25 for cash out. How am I suppose to cash out at $4? Only If It was an action from Mobrog's employee. I deactivated my account after I discover they could do anything to the money you actually earned and they also successfully received my private data I entered into the survey.
They pay well but they can manipulate your account If they "think" you are "suspicious".
That is very bad, because for one thing, paying from Doing survey is low, once the survey site paid is paid. Taking back the amount only shows how you treat your members. Another thing is I earned that money by contributed my time. You can not just take It away from my account without my consent or notice. It shows how disrespectful this website is. I won't explain any further. What's earned is earned. It's not an amount of evaluating my faith. It's not much to earn from Doing survey, but Every bits count! So far not the best survey site out there.

Pros: -pays in US dollar - mobile phone compatible -can cash out instantly
Cons: - 100points for $1, However, you only earn like 90 points per day -has higher risk of not be able to redeem it - higher risk of not crediting the points user actually finished

I suggest to redeem everytime once reach $5 around. This way you will always get your money, and even if they refuse to pay you, you know they hold just $5. They will lose their credibility and you could earn from other website as well.

I don't think they are going to give you surveys worth over 100 points, at least they would trick you to complete those worth-big survey and only reward you like 3 points minimum, This is purely just a Huge laughing-out loud joke. They keep trying to challenge user's patience.

Or they tell you didn't qualified for the survey targeted group.

This is obvious a WHITE LIE for most survey companies they use it ALL THE TIME, because they don't want to pay everyone, they want to keep most of the money survey -generated companies pays for. They only spend small amount of money to pay users. This is the only way can explain why they set their system as only show you completed the survey and "received" points in the HISTORY section, however choose to not ACTUALLY credit the exact amount in the circle points for you to CASH OUT!

People, I would suggest you only complete those under the 100points survey only, it will prevent this survey site tricks you complete surveys over 100 points but not paying the full amount you authentically deserve! And another important point is 90,50, or 40 points survey have much higher chance you can score the full amount.

I'm new to this site, but I think I've known it far before 2010. I didn't choose to stay with it because I didn't like the way they only offering points for survey. I still don't like points, but it's worth the trying anyway. Overall it's not easy to earn money by doing surveys online, but you would find it's quite interesting to see various questionnaires if you starting to realize it's not that difficult to deal with.
--------------------------------------
Based on my recent completion of two surveys from this site, I would say their system is quite tricky. Especially if the survey is worth over 100 points. I think Survey Junkie's system deliberately tricks people to complete surveys worth above 100 points and not paying the exact full amount!

After you log in, you can see there's a circle indicates how many points you currently have. Every time you finish a survey, the points increase by the amount of that survey.
However, even if I can see the points for these two surveys have been showed in the history page. If the points didn't accumulated in the circle amount, I would never be able to cash out with that amount!

Somehow they intentionally don't accumulate those surveys with higher payout like over 100 points to your total in the account. It's been the second time I've completed a survey worth like 125 points, but survey junkie's system refused to add it to the amount of my total points in the circle!

I also emailed the first time but never heard from them, maybe they don't have a team. OR they just intentionally don't want to pay you the full amount for a survey takes more than 20 minutes minimum.

I already deleted my account.

I ordered from Nasty Gal one week ago. I didn't buy a lot of stuff like other people. I just bought one cuff and one pair of earrings from them. I've been looking over their website for months now. I waited for some big discount, so it ended up like the cuff- they marked it originally C$60, I paid C$18; The earring they marked C$75, I paid C$16. Shipping cost is reasonable around C$12. I wasn't expecting a COD amount at the time I finished paying with Paypal, until I reached here and found out - boom! What the heck? In my case it wasn't much so It's not a big deal in the end.

What I really don't get pass is they didn't package my order with even a small box!- hello? You call that a parcel? The style of that packaging reminds me the day I order snacks from Chinese online website Taobao... With Taobao, you can accept that style of package is because it's only raw snack which wouldn't been damaged very easily, and TaoBao is very complicated, it's more like an online flee market. However, As an online shopping company in US, this type of packaging condition is truly unacceptable and below the average of North Amercia shopping site service, they really showed their attitude toward small amount of order- "you didn't purchase much, so we are not going to waste our shipping box to you"... They just wrap those two items each with bubble wrap then wrapped external with foil material. The shipping was really fast. They shipped out my order before I actually paid them, and I received order only after one week. Not to mention the risk my order might be damaged or anything else, the fact is I ordered something is closely considered as fragile in their own way... I just don't see people who sell jewelry online would not notice the difference or importance of a proper package... Clearly Nasty gal treat their shipping style more close to Taobao...

The product doesn't look like they are worth nearly C$70. Over the months of observing their website, I found out they tend to sell the exact same thing- handbags or jewelery like other website with much higher price. They do carry some cute, contemporary brands that you can't find on other websites. They also tend to mislead young girls with brighter picture technique. Most of their pu leather handbag you can see they really put effort into their picture taking. You even nearly think it "looks exactly"like real leather, but I'll tell you- do not buy them. You will definitely get disappointed, because they don't provide 360 degree of capturing for their product's actual condition.

I paid with paypal. They didn't accept my paypal transaction at the first place, but they have already shipped out my order, so I contacted their online chat. After I talked to the first person, they still didn't finish my transaction at that time (you can see the chat in the following picture, the girl promised me they would accept my transaction, but obviously they didn't at that time!)... another weekend had passed. I'm a very patient person, so I talked to the second person through online chat, finally that person was very helpful, she actually sent me an follow-up Email afterward.

What I would suggest is -
1.do not purchase too many stuff at one time. Don't fall for the "get free shipping on orders over $150". Yes, sometime shipping can be very high, but you really need to consider your budget and your potential. Before you buy something, ask yourself- Do I really need this? What would I do with this handbag? Is this really good material? Is this worth the price or is it going to last a couple years? Most of those free shipping deal would only affect your judgement toward your mind by either buy more things you end up may considered as useless or increase COD amount your pay even more in the end.
2. Do not fall for their picture. If you really love a bag they are selling. You always need to search the same thing over the internet first, because you may search out more and even better pictures or information about the product.
3. Always consider quality as your first priority when you search on their website. Nasty Gal can still exists in today's online shopping mostly because they sell bizarre and interesting fashion stuff you can't find very easily anywhere else.

Tip for consumers:
1.Do not purchase too many stuff at one time.
2.Don't fall for the "get free shipping on orders over $150". It just trick you to spend more than you could.
3.examine product more carefully or even do more research for the things you buy by google it. It's just convenient and your money saver.
