I signed up to PrizeRebel to make some extra money as a side hustle. So far it's been working out fairly well as I'm able to make a hundred dollars or so every month when I have free time to take surveys. I've cashed out through paypal, amazon gift cards and cryptocurrency. It's worth trying out when you have free time and their support team is fairly good whenever you encounter an issue and you will get a reply within 24 hours.
After 3 days filling up surveys and spending around 4 hours in total, I only managed to collect 500 points. This points could be exchange for a $5 paypal voucher, which I requested. As soon as I did, they sent me an email claiming I had not verified my account with a proper ID and they were gonna close my account. They never asked me to do so before, nor even at the time of requesting the $5 dollars, so it all sounds like they take advantage of people to fill up surveys and then put some excuses not to pay. 1. Not reliable. 2. If you want to make $5 a week for spending 3-4 hours, go ahead, but I don't think is wirthy, specially if they gonna make some excuse not to pay you (and earn the money them selves).
They have their act together and the site is incredibly easy to follow. However, I think there needs to be a disclaimer. It is geared way more toward younger people. That is fine, they should just mention it before you waste your time with it. I would guess people up to their late 30's, possibly a bit older would do OK with it. I repeatedly did not qualify for surveys. I had to laugh out loud at some of the questions such as do you use this product because."it makes you look cool" ha ha yeah, kinda past all that. Otherwise, if you are younger and need some extra cash give it a shot.
Overstuffed, gimmicky UI. Twice in only a few hours of surveys, a question wouldn't load properly and I had to exit the survey. I hate how they make you cash out in increments of $5 instead of paying you for all the points you've worked for. But I did manage to get $5 to PayPal in the end.
However, I've seen videos that show people who have made money on it. I don't think all of them are doing the videos (most are... but not all) for the referrals.
I'll literally write down how many hours it takes before I finally get a qualified survey. Supposedly, this happens when you first start but I've been doing Swagbucks with no problem (and many other survey sites) for a years and none of them took this long for me to qualify for my first batch of surveys with them...
So we'll see! Will report back. If I spend 8 hours on trying for surveys and get none, I'll give up.
Prize Rebel Themselves are honest and pay very fast. Many surveys you will not qualify for right at the beginning which is okay. About 1/2 of the surveys will wait until you have answered 20 questions and wasted 10-15 minutes and then tell you that you don't qualify. Its obvious they are using your information and just scamming you. They will tell you early that you qualify and then 10 mins later say you don't. Taking surveys all day the best you can hope for is $5-maybe $10 a day.
It's like a dark alley; you can go for the thrill, but you'll usually leave sullen and humbled. I have cashed out with Prize Rebel, as well as Swagbucks, so if you're looking for a casual $200 a year, either can accommodate you, if you accommodate them. Swagbucks is like 2016 Tumblr, and Prize Rebel is like 2009 Facebook. But with less money.
Hi Jon, I apologize to hear about your experience on PrizeRebel. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to improve our website.
I used this survey site and my overall experience is bad. Even I don't get surveys. They always are unavailable and I also not happy with the payout. I don't want to recommend this site.
I am on Silver Level. I was told AFTER my FIRST PayPal that my processing time would be 2-3 hours. Well its taken 24 hours STILL. This is misleading. They DO have ALOT of surveys BUT its very hard to qualify for the HIGH paying ones. They will also take you through all the questions of a survey THEN disqualify you AFTER getting the information they were seeking in the first place. This is what a lot of other sites do. This was very discouraging being that this is SUPPOSE TO BE A "BETTER" site than the others...
Tip for consumers:
Beware reward processing times are not as stated......
Used it for a while and redeemed for some Amazon and Google Play gift codes. Then the next code I received was invalid and they never resent me a valid one after contacting them. So it's legit, but at least with my experience, 10-20% of the gift card codes you get from them don't work.
Firstly, I'd like to say that although PrizeRebel seems to be a professional looking website without any malware or viruses, it cannot be trusted for the rewards which it hands out. I recently redeemed an award which was a $10 gift card. When my reward was processed and I received the code, I then went to redeem the code however, the code I received was an Invalid Promo Code. If a website can't carry out the task it's made for, you shouldn't use it and the same applies to PrizeRebel where if I can't give you a real reward, there's no point in doing the surveys on the website in the first place.

I apologize that your site experience was less than satisfactory. Please note that you may not qualify for all surveys as they are looking for a very specific audience from a very specific list of cities to take the survey. You may also be disqualified if you work in a certain industry or have taken a prior survey on the same topic. Unfortunately while we do not agree with it, this is how market research surveys work.
