Best Survey App
March 14, 2022

I have been trying different survey/game for real cash apps for the last few months, I used to play a popular MMO (wont say name as is well known) and was tired of it so I thought would try and find something to either not spend or maybe make a couple $, lol. I am on the phone with several monitors running and have anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes available to me at different intervals all day long and a lot of times I am required to just be present with PC doing its thing and nothing else. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SURVEY APP OUT THERE. I have had no issues getting funds deposited into my PayPal, their minimum to withdraw is only $5.00 and even though they say can take up to 2 hours its always within minutes. In the 5 or 6 weeks I have been using the app I have cashed out just under $124.00USD, and stopped even trying the others. Yes sometimes you get disqualified late in a survey or but that's all these apps. With SJ the refresh rate is so fast it doesn't matter, its not like some where you answer a few and then there is nothing available for hours. The other day I was stuck in front of the computer for a few hours, so as a test I only played this app, I made $12.91 and when my pc task finished I cashed out and went and grabbed lunch! I have tried most of the survey sites and this one is straight surveys, no adds, no high minimum to withdraw, no weird games that end up making you pay 10$ S&H on fake earbuds from China that never arrive, lol. If you dont qualify initially you get 2 or 3 ponts for the 10 to 30 seconds it to to evaluate you and believe me those add also. If you have time to surf around on twitter and insta etc, you have time to do this!

WORST EXPERIENCE!
June 29, 2019

Okay so I've been using SurveyJunkie for a while. I've made $10.01 AKA 1001 points with this app. When I tried to redeem my rewards, they were asking me for a phone number to "verify" my account as I haven't put my phone number in my account. When I gave them a phone number to call and verify, which they did within 15 mins as they said but I couldn't pick up so I gave them the number one more time and it took me to a page where I had to put my number as they said they'll call me in 15 mins. AND THEN IT HAS BEEN FOREVER I DIDNT RECEIVE A SINGLE CALL! I contacted them through email and they said to allow them up to 7-10 days to call and reach out to me due to high demands or whatever. It's been over 11 days I didn't receive any call. My another concern is that they don't have a phone number to contact them. How am I supposed to verify my account without a contact number? RIDICULOUS! This app doesn't even deserve a positive review and idk why some people are sugarcoating and leaving sweet comments likeeeee it's so funny and dumb

My email to Survey Junkie Thanks Nush! (in my comments...you & your refer to Survey Junkie)

Your comments completely ignore the difference between what is stated as earning potential in your advertising, and the reality of what was offered. The last survey I received an offer to participate in (assuming it took the time estimated by the system) would equate to just over $1 an hour. This is incredibly dirty. It is false advertising.

"The rewards for each survey will vary, but with commitment and regular participation, members have the opportunity to earn extra cash each month." Your advertising suggests that people can earn approximately $800 per month in their spare time. Based upon all rates that I have seen, nobody will be making that amount even if they are doing it for 40 hours per week. All that matters is actual amount earned for a specific time. If the amount likely to be made were honest, few people would ever bother wasting their time.

I have been paid nothing for wasting about two hours of my time (surveys resulting in zero income); the system showed that I had earned just under $2 at one point. Knowing that people would just stop after such an experience, all the company needs to do is generate a constant flow of people trying it out, this way you get a few hours for free from everyone.

"In any case, the more effort members put into checking in daily for new surveys and completing them, the more they will earn in the long run." This is irrelevant if people are making almost nothing ($1-$2 per hour).

I will certainly share my feedback. So that everyone can see that no words have been changed, I will post your email with my reply. What was received was like a standard script that had been copied and pasted. My specific criticisms were not addressed.

Regards,

David

Bad, not good.
August 16, 2022

"Scam" isn't necessarily the word I'd use, but it's not a good website. When you initially sign up, it mostly works and you can accumulate points at a relatively acceptable clip. But, like others here have mentioned, after the first time that I redeemed points, there seemed to be a huge shift. From this point, I started qualifying for fewer and fewer surveys, to the degree that I've occasionally spent like an hour clicking every survey offered to me and not qualifying for a single one. Worse, they've now developed a bug where you'll get through an entire survey (status bar at 100%, "thank you for completing our survey!") only to have it say "Sorry, you didn't qualify for this survey" after it redirects to the main page. This has become an incredibly common thing, spending 20-25 minutes on a survey only to finish it and still not get points. This wasn't a super common feature when I initially signed up, but I've noticed that it's gotten more and more common, to the degree that when I do bother to try to use the site, I just avoid surveys longer than 15 minutes because of how tiring it gets.

On a similar note, the actual advertised time to complete an assessment listed on the landing page and the actual survey time once you open the survey is often radically different. You'll click on a 10 minute survey and then the survey itself will say 30 minutes; I've had multiple where it advertised 15 minutes and when I opened it, it asked me to watch a 45 minute television show.

And then there's the buggy nature of a lot of the surveys. The amount of times that you open a survey only to get stuck in a loop of answering the same qualifying questions for minutes at a time, before it inevitably kicks you out for lack of eligibility. If you see the words "Spectrum Surveys," you might as well just close the tab because it's going to do this to you. Worse are the ones that just bounce you from loading screen to loading screen before finally just re-directing you to the main site without asking you any questions.

On top of this is the endless emails. I get that you want to advertise to your user base but there's something mildly insulting about getting a ton of emails about supposedly available surveys that you don't actually qualify for.

Overall, I think if you can use the initial stretch prior to your first redemption to accumulate a couple of hundred bucks, it can be useful, but long-term it seems like it's designed to decrease your rewards over time.

1500 Point Bonus
March 9, 2025

It's funny that Survey Junkie is currently offering a 1500 point bonus between March 6 and March 17. You have to complete surveys worth 20 points or more to receive the bonus. The funny part is that today the available surveys are only worth 15 points so far (see screenshot). Seems a little more than just coincidental.
