SurveyJunkie

This site should be shut down. Even thought they claim that you can take unlimited surveys, they will start putting your earnings in a "pending confirmation" status if they feel you are making too much money (for me a whole $30) that they will have to pay out. They are ranked 79th on this site for a reason. It starts off well enough, I was able to reach and cash out $5 twice. Then yesterday I was home sick so I figured I would do something to fill my time. I guess they decided that I was making too much money because towards the end of the day, I received the whole "no surveys available, check back in a few hours" and I just checked again now and it still says that. Many surveys will conveniently "fill up" after you have spent some time working on them and give you. 03 for your time. You will also get "you are going too fast" warnings when you haven't done anything except try to open a new survey. The people on here leaving positive reviews just haven't been cut off yet LOL, because I thought it was a great site too until they blocked me for no reason. I luckily had just cashed out the last balance I had before they blocked me from taking any more surveys. I still have no communication as to why this happened, I can just assume from the M. O. of what other people have posted on here and other places online.

It's a great site surveys are great you can cash out at 5$ but I only have one problem that bugs me sometimes when I do a survey or start one I get rejected and this message pops up saying you been disqualified for breaking one of our rules eta I awnsered honesty I never lie in my questions what rule did I break everything I put in my questions are truthful I don't mind the 2 or 3 pts at least I can save them it's the breaking rules message that always seem to pop up I been using this site for years and I always successfully cashed out I hate for them to lose someone who is loyal and is happy to be with a survey company who isn't run by scam artists who refuse to pay for surveys that means you branded surveys and crowd tap both are not whom I recommend they'll ban you soon enough when you get close to cashing out but survey junkie is great just wish they would let me finish my surveys though.

As many other reviewers have stated, Survey Junkie seems great when you start out, then gradually the problems start. First there's the occasional 30 minute survey you will complete, only to be returned to Survey Junkie with a message: "Sorry. You did qualify for that survey."
Really? I saved the last page's URL and took a screenshot saying its complete and contacted Survey Junkie. After three times of this happening and getting a response basically saying "Tough $%^. Them's the breaks. You lose," I stopped writing them. Since then I have had my account disabled once allegedly due to 'rushing answers' (I actually use a timer during surveys, so i know this is not true). Now more have 50% of surveys I take are disqualified after completion, or after i spend 25-30 minutes on one.
This is very frustrating, especially as other companies such as Mint Vine have credited me for any survey i have had a problem with. Also, what exactly happens to the long surveys I complete and don't get credited for? I suspect they are still used. With Survey Junkie you take your chances. Be prepared to take a lot of surveys and only get credited for a fraction.

Have been trying without success to redeem points for about a month & no luck. I keep contacting support but no results to my satisfaction. Wish there was a phone # for them.

I was able to cash up with no problems for a while then I got the verification sign and that they would call me. I got the email about them suppose to call me in 5 to 7 days twice. It has been over two months and still no call and no one getting back with me about all of my emails. I contacted BBB today so hopefully that will get something done DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE. YOU WILL THANK ME LATER I PROMISE. IF I COULD GIVE THEM 0 STARS I WOULD.

I spent a few days not-qualifying for a lot of their surveys. But I finally racked up the required 1000 point minimum in order to redeem. And that's when all of the trouble started.
First, they wanted to verify my account. Which was shifty enough as it was; they already have not one but TWO of my email accounts. Why do they need to know my name, my ADDRESS, and my PHONE NUMBER?
I finally managed to get things verified... Only for surveyjunkie to tell me "paypal is not available for this account". So off to their awful customer service to complain about this.
I was surprised by how quickly that they responded, but fell into even further irritation over their response: they needed to call me. Like things like email or text messages don't exist or anything.
I asked why. To verify.
But they've already verified my account. With my phone. Upon their insistence.
That was with TEXT MESSAGE. They want to CALL me to verify me. Which, stressing again, I have already done.
I asked them how I was supposed to respond to a call when I literally cannot hear anything.
The response came, yet again, fairly quickly. The person was rude and belligerent towards me and failed to respond following that.

This company does not care anything about handing out money. They're probably going to sell my name, address, and phone number to the first million companies that offer them one corn chip in exchange. I wish that I hadn't given them my real address, but it was the only thing that the stupid website would accept.

At least they don't have my real name.

Love the website/ app unlike some sites whom I can't name I mean you branded surveys at least you can get a giftcard when you reach 5$ and not ban you for no reason at all.

So I have been on Survey Junkie for months and would get on a few times a day and do a couple of surveys. Recently, I had an unpleasant experience with a survey, which after submitting and stating I had completed survey, and in the allotted time specified, did not credit me. So I contacted customer service. They credited me, but said I was actually disqualified from that survey. Survey notices have always stated if I qualified or disqualified, and this particular one did not. Instead it stated I completed it, and requested I submit it, but still didn't credit me. After this, when I signed onto Survey Junkie from this day on, no surveys showed up over 100 points on my dashboard, and also the emailed survey opportunity notices of 1 minute surveys would not open any longer. I believe Survey Junkie limits your opportunities at their discretion, and it's not based on qualifying for each survey. This is a deceitful practice. I will be reviewing them unfavorably based on this practice on different forums.

Used to be great but lately in the past few months it has gotten worse. A lot of the surveys cheat you out of your points I have spent numerous times doing a survey spend like 15 to 30 minutes doing the survey then it just stops and sends you back to the main page and you get some message about you didn't qualify for the survey and you don't get the points! Seriously after spending all that time answering all the questions and you don't get your points. I have even had a few surveys pop up with the message sorry you don't qualify for this survey before it evens loads! I have contacted customer care about these issues and all they say is that they are not responsible for the surveys and what happens during the time you are taking the survey but they are in constant contact with the survey companies but yet all these issues keep getting worse and nothing is getting better... I just was doing a survey worth 100 points and the survey was for 20 minutes I did the whole 20 minutes then it asked me some way off question about something that didn't even pertain to the survey I was taking and then that is when it goes to the error page saying sorry I didn't qualify here is 3 points for your time... Fix the issues! Other wise it would be a great site to make a little extra money on the side.

I've been trying to cash out for 5 days now to no prevail. The customer service number is nothing but a recording telling you to leave your email address. No but a waste of time

This website uses DECEPTIVE advertising to list surveys that will post huge rewards for taking a survey, but almost as quickly as you are notified, will disqualify you from taking the survey. Also, the company lists BONUS opportunities where you complete 3or more surveys worth 25 or more points for 7 days to get a 500 point bonus, but then disqualifies you from completing the high point surveys to qualify for the 500 point bonus. Overall this is a TOTAL SCAM and waste of your valuable time.

Over the years I have been a member of several different survey websites. I can say with 100% conviction that SurveyJunkie offers the lowest paid surveys on the web. The average is $0.35 for a 20 minute survey. You can also expect to get kicked out of the survey or disqualified after having completed all of or most of the questions. Not sure if SurveyJunkie pockets the money or is allowing the survey givers to rob their website patrons. On top of the lowest paid surveys, and getting robbed you can expect to not receive points at all after completing surveys. This happens when you are not disqualified or kicked from the survey, at or near completion, but go through all the steps of completion only to see that the points are not credited to your account. SurveyJunkie claims the points are pending and being held by the survey provider until they review the survey answers. But, given the other issues with this website I definitely have my suspicions. I completed a survey a week ago for 45 cents and it has yet to be credited to my account. ****Update: After waiting a week for my pending points and spending 20 minutes legitimately completing a survey, I just received 3 points(disqualification credit) out of the possible 45 points I was promised for completing the survey. Plain and simple I was >robbed<, of my time and my money.**** Don't be a sucker and waste your time and have your money stolen with this unprofessional, dishonest, penny pinching, thieving bull crap website. Hands down the worst survey website I have ever had the misfortune of being associated with...

I started using Survey Junkie around April or May of 2022, and at first it seemed like it was worthwhile. Yes there were constant screen outs, but in general I was qualifying for probably one in every three surveys, and I was making what I considered decent money. However this year, 2023, I think I've only made ten or fifteen dollars, because I can never qualify for surveys.

I'm not sure what changed, if they're just not getting worthwhile surveys, or what. But I can attempt twenty surveys and not qualify for any of them. It's a complete waste of time. I just counted, and of the last forty surveys I've attempted, I was able to finish two of them. And they don't even pay out that much, I would be lucky to make even a dollar an hour.

I've switched to using Qmee and Prime Opinion, and I can usually qualify for over half of their surveys, and I tend to make at least three dollars an hour on either of them. There are some days where I can get over five or six dollars an hour on them.

TL/DR: Survey Junkies used to be good when they were one of the few games in town. Now, they're just terrible, both in rates of qualification, and the amount they pay out when you do qualify.

I really like doing surveys as i am very opinionated and like to say what is on my mind and help the polls in the meantime and also make money doing it. So i joined Survey Junkie in hopes to accomplish all this but to no avail DID NOT GET MY REWARD AS PROMISHED BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET THROUGH TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE LINK THAT YOU NEED TO ACCESS TO DO AN ID VERIFICATION DOESN'T WORK SO YOU NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE BUT NEVER GET A CHANCE TO. I ACCUMULATED 1000 POINTS AND WANTED TO REDEEM THEM AND STILL CAN'T. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME LIKE I DID. I JOINED IPSOS FOR DOING SURVEYS AND DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS REDEEMING MY WELL DESERVED REWARD. THANK YOU IPSOS AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SURVEYS ON YOUR SITE.
