SurveyJunkie

More times than not, when you click on a survey, it says the survey is either a) closed or b) not qualified to complete the survey. I can understand that. The only issue I have is sometimes you're halfway through a survey, you spend 10+ minutes answering questions only to get a message right in the middle saying "oh, you're not qualified to do this survey" then it kicks you off mid-survey and you end up getting 0 points. Sometimes you'll get 2-3 pity points from survey junkie just for clicking on it, but kicking you off halfway through a survey is a horrible waste of time. Also, unless you're on it hour after hour, it could take you all day or multiple days just to earn $5 which isn't a lot, but hey, $5 is more than $0. I got my $5 today only because I signed up and they give you bonus points for signing up. Each survey can be between 10-75 points if you complete it. Some more. Most of the higher-point surveys are closed by time you click on them, though. All ask for your zip code, age, birthday, and state you live in. Some ask for your address, but I avoid those.

Horrible. I saw this $#*! on Craigslist "make $200 a day doing surveys!" This is total bull$#*!. You make pennies on the hour. They offer hundred point surveys, but you NEVER qualify for them, they just dangle it in front of your face to make sure you KNOW they are there, but in reality, your never going to be able to get it. Also, I cannot tell you how many surveys I spent 20 minutes on only to be told I didn't qualify for the survey (for like 40 cent ones even)... HOW DID I NOT QUALIFY I JUST TOOK THE SURVEY! They do NOT want to pay anyone out, good luck trying to cash out once you've spent 3 days earning a total of 10 bucks. This $#*! is a SCAM

Spent hours doing surveys only to try and cash out the money and apparently 'no can do'!

Plenty of other good sites out there who actually pay out for your time!

My opinion survey junkie is exposing you to potential identity theft. The survey ask questions like. What bank do you have? How many phones work in your home? Do you have a landline phone? They use samplico it tracks your phone, your locations etc. Many surveys will have the caution triangle sign, stating the site is unsave. You and friends can be on the survey junkie site and you have 2 surveys and they have 10. The surveys ask you over and over separately if you're spanish. If you are you're automatically kicked out the survey. The spanish race question is separated from the other races. Intrusive question like what color your skin is and your weight. Questions like how much money is in your checking and savings account? What savings are in your parents bank accounts? Yet the survey is suppose to be about grocery shopping habits. Also it seems like if you're not a Republican you are automatically kicked out. My phone started get several phishing emails and calls. Some surveys actually ask for your address and your children birthdays. I've been taking a survey for 10 minutes then suddenly I'm kicked off the survey after answering all the question but no points. It seems on $100,000 plus income seems get to participate in the surveys. My opinion it's unsafe and not worth it.

You click on a survey that says 12 minutes and 60 points (cents). Takes the full amount of time but at the end only gives you 3 points!
Happens too often. Don't waste your time

This company sell your personal information such as phone number. I made the mistake of trying this service and now receive multiple calls a day from numbers my phone auto labels as spam and scams.

Everyone is having trouble redeeming money from Survey junkie. Well let me help my account was out for about 3 months I couldn't redeem any money from Survey junkie. I sent many emails and complaints as it looked like they solved the problem & looks like it would let me redeem until I actually verified my account and I'll always get something about 7 business days. I'm here to help everybody that's having problems with Survey junkie and how to redeem money with all these problems. First send an email to survey junkie from you and complain about what's been going on for you. It shall say something about giving you a call in 15 min or so but that not true so I have the number, call *******135 & tell them you would like to verify your survey junkie account make sure you call them from the number you used to sign up or whatever number they used to call you in 15 minutes. Give them your correct name and email that you signed up with. & tell them your redeem Balance and you should be able to redeem right away as soon as they send an email to your gmail. Thank you & I'm sorry for the problems everybody has been gone experiencing. ( Must Read)

I actually used to do well on survey junkie. Lately I can't get anything! I've come tot he point where I've given up and have found much better survey sites.

The site asks you up front to provide some basic demographic information so it can send you the right surveys, but most of those surveys ask you for the same demographic information over and over again and then disqualify you at various points as you're completing the survey - often midway or even further along. Many more will tell you that you don't qualify or "this survey just filled up" - and that happens way too many times to be true - or this site is posting fake surveys so you won't stop visiting to look for the real ones.
A lot of the longer surveys lure you into answering questions for 10-20 minutes, then suddenly kick you out - again, "this survey just filled up" seems to be very common. It's very frustrating to put that much time into a task and then get paid nothing for it
The time estimates on the home page are only about 50% accurate- many, many of the surveys take far longer than the duration listed on the home page. This is especially a problem with the surveys that claim they will take less than 10 minutes. (The ones that say they will take 3 or 4 or 5 minutes? Those are almost always 10 minutes or more)
The site is very slow to load surveys, so you have to consider that additional time as well.
The site does pay, as promised, but a 20-point survey only pays 20 cents, and all the surveys for which you don't qualify / or "have filled up" offer you only 2 points or none at all, so at the end of the day, it's not worth the time you put into the surveys and it's definitely not worth the time you waste on surveys that cheat you

I keep finding several of the surveys offered far exceed the times posted as expectations to complete.

After being scammed out of points when honestly completing surveys, I now answer each and every survey as dishonestly as possible. It's much more fun this way!

While other survey sites have the same issue with repeatedly asking the same questions in a survey (I've given my age, education level etc 3 times in many surveys), Survey Junkie has a SERIOUS problem with surveys that have you spend extensive amounts of time answering all kinds of helpful questions for the survey gatherer before they then say, "Oh, this survey is full," or "Oh, sorry, you don't qualify." Again, after gleaning A LOT of valuable information.

Even worse, woe to you if you answer quickly because then they will tag you as someone who is "not being honest," or "not taking the survey seriously." As just ONE example, the other day I spent 20 minutes answering questions, evaluating products and ads, etc before they then punked out on rewarding me and gave the crap listed above.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS SITE!

Every thing in these posts is so true, this company is total RIP OFF/SCAM/DEAD BEAT PAYER!. Over a year I have to tried to cash out three different times for different amounts. Each time I get a BS story that my phone # is blocked & can't be verified, my account is not active or has been deactivated, blah, blah! Anything to keep you from your money.It usually took me 3 weeks to get a payment sent to my Paypal account. NO other survey sight I deal with tortures you like this, especially if you are using Paypal.

Have been doing surveys for 4 months and then suddenly they said " I violated one of their terms or conditions."
I have been completely honest in my surveys and contacted them about " WHAT" I had violated, they never answered. They let you do surveys long enough until you really start earning money and then you'll see your screen say " No surveys available" and then they'll say you violated a term. SCAM COMPANY. PLEASE BEWARE OF SURVEYS JUNKIE!

I have been using SJ for a few months because I developed agoraphobia and needed a main source of income, this worked for the time being. Here's everything you need to know from my experience.

One, if a survey site does not work, they will continue to keep it up for people to waste their time on
(Today alone I have had 7 surveys not pay me even though I completed them all)

Two, Even if you have screenshotted proof that you got screwed over by a survey, it's not guaranteed you will get your owed pay.

Three, I have sent out professional emails to the company and to a specific survey site. SJ responded and legitimately told me "that's the survey sites issue, we can't fix that" than why are you sponsoring their surveys? The other survey site ignored my email and is still taking peoples answers and giving them nothing in return.

Four, Any survey over 100 points (or $1 in real cash) almost never works once you've been on the site for a month or so. Those surveys will either close their own tab automatically, or you will get a message saying you was lying or being dishonest before you even get into the survey.

Yes, this site will pay you money, but they sponsor surveys that will take and sell your answers whilst purposefully undermanaging their own site so they don't have to pay you. Today alone I have wasted over 4 hours on surveys that has paid me NOTHING.

Attached below is a screenshot of SJ responding to one of my many complaints where I completed a survey and didn't get paid. Read that response. See how much they care, because they don't.
