Survey Junkie, Scam?
April 10, 2022

This outfit takes the cake. Not only there surveys are quite long for there compensation, they require you to do several ID verifications and then they tell you there was a problem and you have to speak with a rep on the phone. The problem is, they do not give you a phone number. As they say, Buyer beware. Stay away from this site, it will save you time and frustration.

I made $30. But i hate it when you take a survey it; crashes, youre almost done and it says sorry were full, repeat questions- why doesnt it remember your answers? Or it tells you that youve broke the rules when you havent. It can be very frustrating. Seems like every 5 surveys only 1 will work. I waste a lot of time.

First, it sucks. Out of 10 surveys, you MIGHT get 2 finished. You will start a survey and most of the time you will almost finish and it will disqualify you. Now, they say you weren't honest but check out other reviews and see. Junkey Survey has a way to get your answers and opinions then disqualify you. Yes, you will finish 1 in 8 surveys but you are giving them all the information they want on the disqualification surveys. You would be better off volunteering some where for free. At least they will give you a buck or two for you help when finished.

Waste of Time
July 20, 2023

DO NOT waste your time with Survey Junkie. I have spent so much time completing so many surveys that get all the way to the last page and conveniently "breaks". In other words, all your data is submitted for the survey, but it doesn't return to SJ's site to give you credit (pay) for the survey. When you inform SJ of the issue, they are not quick to rectify the issue at all. You will have better luck with other survey sites, like swagbucks (my fav) or freecash, or any other site. I have tapped into several of them, and none of them take you through the entire survey and doesnt reward as often as Survey Junkie surveys.

Fraud
July 21, 2021

If you know Armen Adjemian you should punch him in the face, repeatedly. Seriously though, this is absolutely a scam and it amazes me that this company hasnt been in court yet. I suggest you screen record your experience and show it to a good class action lawyer.

Cannot redeem points

Do Not Use!
May 8, 2019

Survey Junkie used to be a great way to make a few extra dollars. You would complete surveys and get paid easily. Lately, however, the site has not been redeeming points. This means you will spend upwards of 20 minutes earnestly completing a survey only to NOT GET THE POINTS! I am not sure what is going on at Survey Junkie but I strongly caution not to waste your time!

I was really excited to earn $10.00! Well, trying to redeem is not allowing me to. I tried 3x to enter bank information for them to send to my checking account and it's telling me "not valid account number and routing number", I tried to redeem to my PayPal account and survey junkie sent me a code to enter to get paid through my PayPal account, and it's telling me" Wrong code number entered " (The same code survey junkie sent me) now I'm locked out of my survey junkie account, no one is answering me about this from survey junkie

I was rarely "qualified" for surveys and earned small rewards of 2 or 3 points when "not qualified", but all of a sudden after being a member for 5 months I was unable to see any surveys and got reply that (quote): "Your account activity appears to have violated at least one condition listed in our terms of use and we are unable to assist you..." I was really shocked for getting such a ridiculous clarification and asked them to clarify what was a real reason for the deactivating my account and did NOT get any explanations. In my firm opinion, I was earning a couple of cents per survey I was getting invitation for TOO OFTEN and, moreover, I am a retiree... They unfairly deactivated my account and made me very upset! Poor judgement from their management and policy... It is disgusting to say the least... EH I do NOT recommend this panel!

Postcards
September 11, 2021

Humm, now they send postcards and customer service will send an email saying you can take survies again. Yet when I log on keep getting the bs default page "sign up with our other loser sites."
Does anyone know a decant site I can make money. Sick of their questions about covid vacs. I want questions about products.
They seem to work ask a lot of questions about health and pharma, do not even want to pay, just jerk people around.
Too bad there are no negative ratings.

What A Joke
June 20, 2019

I took surveys for this company for about a month and made over $130. One day our power was going in and out while I was in the middle of a survey. I was able to complete the survey, but the points never showed up. I emailed support and then all of a sudden my account was shut down. I tried reaching out and I got the generic email about how I "violated their terms." I asked someone to reach out to me and all I continue to get is their generic email about how I violated their terms whenever I reach out. They tell me to contact customer support to verify activity, but customer support does not help or get back to you. Over $130 that I earned that I CAN'T REDEEM. What a SCAM. Do not waste your time here, because as soon as it becomes time to pay you, they wont pay you and will make excuses as to why.

I filed a complaint with the BBB to which they responded to with the EXACT same email. They sucks.

Survey Junkie is trash now.
September 11, 2023

I used to really like this site, and they pay out very quickly when you reach the 50.00 threshold (49.99). But the last few months the surveys have gone from interesting to horrible, and the surveys I've noticed are in NO way relevant to you, and another thing that makes me angry is that when you do a survey and you KNOW that you told the truth, they tell you that you lied and to be more truthful. I believe that I'll go to Prime Opinion and do surveys at Swagbucks, as they do have PLENTY of surveys that are relevant to you and they have have so much more to offer in terms of the sheer number of survey offers than Survey Junkie does now. Hopefully, SJ will get themselves straight and go back to being what they used to be 2 or so months ago But for now, they're awful and I hate saying that. Get yourself together Survey Junkie!

Deserves -5!
December 27, 2020

I've had a VERY HARD time getting points. Most points are just a few for trying to qualify. Before they say you don't qualify they collect A LOT of information and all information is valuable and they don't make it worth your while. A few that's I've qualified and answered so many questions, the last page is an error. I complain to Survey Junkie and they say they don't have anything to do with it. So, what do they do? I think they're collecting information and not handing out the little bit of points you SHOULD EARN.

I can relay first hand that survey junkie will repeatively ask you to verify yourself and not except your in put.
I am in canada and after trying to retrieve $ 70 for many many weeks I went to the BBB.
After survey junkie was contacted by them they meracoiusly paid me my money. I hope you experience is better then mine. I have since deleted my account as I didn't appreciate the shadiness.

I was promised an Amazon gift card for the money I generated doing surveys for this company and when I tried to redeem the gift card amazon said I was given an invalid code. I tried to work with the company to rectify the situation, but they said they could not help me. I read this is a legitimate business, but it is NOT. BEWARE!

Scam!
July 29, 2018

I was really enjoying utilizing Survey Junkie, as they have an easy to use interface, and adding up points via the Survey Medleys is not hard to do at all, BUT I just received a message that I had to verify my activity in order to redeem my points! Utter BS if you ask me. I can tell they only want you to make a couple dollars a day, and then they start limiting survey access and make it difficult to redeem points.

I have used this site on and off for about 2 years now. I've only cashed out a few times. The first couple of times there was little to no issue. Now, as I go to cash out my points after days of taking the time to complete boring, long surveys to make this scam company money, they will not allow me to cash out because they cannot "verify" my account. When I email their customer service, they tell me I violated their terms of services. Lol, I literally did nothing wrong. I just completed the surveys like I always have done. Yet, when it's time to give me my money, they come up with walls and excuses to not pay out. This is not the first time I have heard of them doing this, however this is the first time this has happened to me. This will not change unless people continue to speak out regarding this scam and trickery. Beware of survey sites in general (pretty much all of them get away legally with paying people less than peanuts and getting huge amounts of money from their clients for asking people their opinion), though I strongly advise using this site. Their customer service was extremely rude to me, told me they were giving me a "courtesy" of allowing me to receive my money (seriously, the told me this), and yet I still have not been able to receive my money that I spent time to earn. I'm sharing this everywhere because I'm so tired of businesses not being held accountable for how they treat their customers and their immoral, crooked business practices.
