Bad review
February 23, 2025

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.

BS Woke Liberal Surveys
October 12, 2024

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.

They are scamming.
June 24, 2024
Updated review

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 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.

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

Waste of time
December 31, 2023

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!

Don't waste your time
April 16, 2024

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.

This app is a joke
February 13, 2024

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!

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.

Worst Survey Site Ever
September 16, 2022

If you enjoy late disqualifications from long, tedious survey's that you've completed--if you enjoy AI bots blocking you from survey's accusing you of not taking your time and/or of answering questions dishonestly--if you want to ask customer service for their help with regard to ANYTHING that's an issue or a problem and never get an answer in a timely manner (or at all), then this is your kind of place. It's a hot mess. Their annoyances far outweigh their "point's" that they so generously offer in lieu of decent surveys and real money. I'm ashamed of myself for trying to grin and bear it for as long as I have. There are many other excellent survey platforms out there, Survey Junkie is not one of them. Good luck!

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.

Deceptive
March 27, 2020

They have sent me an e-gift card email verification request, a regular email verification quest and both are not working at all. They don't even try to use my legal name from the app, they use the name on the email cause it's not a real person answering. Support is automated and is there to stone wall anyone's efforts.
I did pretty much everything I could do to try and verify with them for the very small amount of 5$, I have never cashed out from this app or received payment and they make it very difficult.
The verification is accepted by many other apps and companies and this is the first company that's ever given me issues with my PayPal not being good enough even though it's fully verified according to PayPal themselves.
This app is trying to get as many free surveys as it can and not pay out so it can save the money from the survey providers.
This app is extremely deceptive and similar apps accepted less than half of the information I gave this app.

Meh.
December 13, 2019

I started with this site in June 2019. First payout I had to confirm my identity, then the surveys started rolling in. I kept redeeming and getting emails saying I was a top performer. I hit a lifetime total of just under $250 at the end of November and did a $10 payout. Then I stopped getting surveys and emails and when I get to the home screen it says no surveys available. Oh, well. At least all I have tied up with them currently is 62¢.

It's ok
May 27, 2020

I finally got them to verify my account for a 5 dollar iTunes and it worked. But there is some problems. First, verification can be horrible for most people, sometimes you have to go through a hassle just to verify your account. Second, no surveys. I do ten surveys and then they all run out and I do not know why. It is a very slow way just to earn 5 dollars.

Needs to be stopped
March 29, 2019

Survey Junkie has shown a clear pattern of advertising surveys for pay and then 'locking' payment, citing some false security issue, then ignoring all communication attempts. It's been almost a month and 10 customer service requests since they did my account like all these others listed here. This is outright theft.

Does pay out
October 31, 2020

It can take all day to get 500 points. That when you can cash out. It isn't a career, so the little extra change is helpful, however. This particular survey site lets you deposit into your bank. Some only use gift cards ur PayPal. About 15% of surveys freeze at the end and don't give you the points after doing the work. The customer service is no help and they don't have a phone number. Over 50% of surveys you won't qualify but you get 2 or 3 points for trying. Most hugger point surveys are very directed so most people don't qualify. They run promos like complete 3 10-point or greater surveys for 10 days and earn 500 extra points. That's $5.

Date of experience: October 30, 2020

Overview

SurveyJunkie has a rating of 1.6 stars from 362 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with SurveyJunkie most frequently mention customer service, phone number and many times. SurveyJunkie ranks 219th among Survey sites.
