“Good site for side hustle money”

Ben J.
2/14/24

I signed up to PrizeRebel to make some extra money as a side hustle. So far it's been working out fairly well as I'm able to make a hundred dollars or so every month when I have free time to take surveys. I've cashed out through paypal, amazon gift cards and cryptocurrency. It's worth trying out when you have free time and their support team is fairly good whenever you encounter an issue and you will get a reply within 24 hours.

“Not worth your time”

Tere S.
1/26/24

After 3 days filling up surveys and spending around 4 hours in total, I only managed to collect 500 points. This points could be exchange for a $5 paypal voucher, which I requested. As soon as I did, they sent me an email claiming I had not verified my account with a proper ID and they were gonna close my account. They never asked me to do so before, nor even at the time of requesting the $5 dollars, so it all sounds like they take advantage of people to fill up surveys and then put some excuses not to pay. 1. Not reliable. 2. If you want to make $5 a week for spending 3-4 hours, go ahead, but I don't think is wirthy, specially if they gonna make some excuse not to pay you (and earn the money them selves).

"It's a waste of time. You could spend over 30 minutes doing a survey, and it will say "completed". Then, you get the message "we are sorry, this was not a good fit for you." After that, they steal and use your answers, but keep your incentive. This is the biggest survey scam on the web. So, steer clear of this money-stealing scam."

Hi Anthony, I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced on the survey. Unfortunately surveys can choose to disqualify you at various points in the survey. We are against this practice if it is a late disqualification and if you let us know we can remove the survey.

Since 2022, I made minimum $25,- each week and get paid in PayPal.
Somedays, I make much more but it depends which day and time I searching for surveys. Mostly I reach $5,- in 1 hour.

Normally I choose the Your Daily Survey (73 points), Dynata Daily Durvey (52 points) and some of the Samplicio.us surveys for successful surveys.

Now am at Diamond status and make some extra points and even quicker pay outs (within 15 minutes in Paypal).

On 1 August 2023: just won an Amazon card worth $200,-! Besides that, am still going strong and making around $25,- each week.

I registered myself in prizerebel only to get stuck at 100 points even after 10 days! There appeared to be multiple surveys to choose from, but for no particular reason, they keep disqualifying you!
So, please don't waste your valuable time on such cheap platform!

Hi Weenuy. We're sorry to hear about your less than stellar experience with PrizeRebel. We constantly strive to provide our members with the most surveys that they qualify for. Unfortunately, each survey has a set of qualifications determined by the researchers and survey provider to accept both you and your response. If you do not fit the qualifications for the survey, they survey provider may disqualify you from the survey. Our team are constantly working with different partners to add surveys for all members.

I feel completely conned by this survey company and they have wasted many hours of my time! Please keep away if you value your time and effort. At first, I did 3 or 4 surveys that took a couple hours of my time and managed to claim £3.80 via paypal. It seemed ok and fast payout. The next batch of surveys kept knocking me out half way or most of the way through or just glitching with errors. That was 4 hours of my time wasted, but I just thought it might be down to bad luck or the demographic isn't suitable. The next day I continued to do another 5 surveys which where fully completed and I didnt get the points for them. This was another 3 hours wasted as 1 or 2 of them took a lot longer than the stated time. I complained to customer service and gave screenshots for each survey not credited and just received generic responses stating that they will enquire with the survey provider to credit the missing points for 5 surveys. I left it for a few days, no further responses and still don't have my points. I've just tried 1 more survey on gaming and it asked my 16 year old daughter if she was willing to participate and she did for 20 mins for the rest of the survey as required. She completed the survey, should of been 106 points and it just redirected at the end to a page stating that the survey was no longer required, so shes had her time wasted as well. It seems that Prizerebels stratergy is to sucker you in when you first join by giving you a couple of surveys that go smoothly and let you get a bit of money. Then once you get going the surveys are fiddled with full of errors and excuses to get you to do part or full surveys without paying you and this company keeps the credit for your work.
Absolutely disgraceful, you have been warned! Most of the positive reviews on here are probably done by Prizerebel themselves... I wouldn't put it past th

We're sorry to hear about your frustration. Each survey has a set of qualifications that are set by the researcher for their studies. This can limit the number of surveys you can complete. We do recommend checking back the following day or with our other survey providers if you are seeing more disqualifications. New surveys are constantly being uploaded by the researchers for different demographics and researchers.

Of months, then suddenly without any warning got an email to say my account was closed.No idea why. I still had points for 3 x $5 gift cards that they owed me and now can't get for surveys I completed. I have sent them emails they are not responding to. I would not recommend prizerebel now and feels ripped off.!

I had a great time using PrizeRebel, they had country specific gift card rewards for New Zealand. I've used the website on and off for about 6 months and have been able to get
All of my groceries for free. You do need to have patience because some surveys will disqualify you and there are not always many surveys available on weekends. With that said, they are legitimate and payout rewards very quickly. Their support team is always great and quick to respond! Overall a great experience.

If you have a brain, read the negative reviews. I joined this website back in November using a list of recommendation from Surveypolice. I can't even tell how bad these scammers are. After some days after requesting payout they closed my account and requested ID, which I provided because I am legit. It has been more than a month they ran away with my ID docs doing idk what. Typical scammers and ID fraudsters. And not to mention my account is still closed and no one replies to emails about them.

PrizeRebel is my go-to site. Tried all other "earning" sites, you name it, I've tried it with no luck. I'm not the type to want to download apps, sign up for offers, or install tracking software on my phone. I'm a simple person, do a survey, get paid.

So here's the good parts of PrizeRebel in my experience:
Theres a variety of survey partners that are clearly listed. You get a list of partners, each with their own survey inventory. Being able to do surveys from partners I like has made survey taking sooo much easier. Other sites just bunch them together. Bunching them might work for some but if a survey partner is bad, theres just no way to avoid them.

Another thing are those monthly promos. It seems that each month, PrizeRebel has a survey promo that gives you more points than normal! More points!

Reward claim is meh at the start. 24 hours to process my reward. Although it does get faster when I got to gold tier. 10 minutes, Not too bad.

Their support team pretty solid as well. Quickish replies, attentive to the issue. Not much for me to say or complain about.

Now the worst part:

The worst part honestly is encountering issues with surveys. Yes, technical issue occurs, but why is it on me. I get it, its not PrizeRebel hosting the survey, but man does it make me mad. I appreciate the courtesy credit their support team provide when I write in, but still frustrating. The survey industry needs to get their act together. No one wants to encounter issue or be disqualified.

Overall, PrizeRebel the easiest survey site that I've used. Survey seems to not run out with pretty decent payouts. Solid support team. Quick rewards.

Tip for consumers:
rewards! payout, gift cards

Prize Rebel used to be good. Lately, there are many issues with surveys being fully completed and not crediting. Their supposed customer support guy will give you a canned response that they are reaching out to the survey provider but basically, you are put of luck. One day, I was ripped off for over 400 points. You can bet PR got paid.

I have been using PrizeRebel for 2 years already and have noticed this year 2022 that I get disqualified after spending 20-30 minutes on a survey. Even when I sent screenshots that I completed the survey, customer service at PrizeRebel is useless and we get arguments that it does not count as completion. I am tired of doing surveys for PrizeRebel and recommend going to Swagbucks instead.

I've been using PrizeRebel since early 2021. There could be some improvements to be made such as adding a mobile app but overall the experience has been great! There are plenty of opinion surveys to take everyday, reward redemption threshold is low and the reward choices are phenomenal! The first few reward claims are delayed by 24 hours but then it becomes instant. I've been able to get paypal payments and gift card rewards to Starbucks and Burger King which saves me a great deal of money. I recommend giving it a try.

The sign up was pretty easy just make sure to use the same email as your PayPal account so there is no issue when getting sent your reward, just I just received my first 5 dollars from the site it did take about 24 hours for the funds to transfer but it did eventually come in, the Surveys are mostly easy is a bit time consuming as some of the surveys can take up to 30 minutes, but if you have time on yours hands great way to make a little money.

I've been using PrizeRebel for about a year and it's my favorite survey site so far. They have so many surveys and offerwalls to complete and they compensate very well for my time. They also payout on survey disqualifications which I appreciate. I've redeemed gift cards and Paypal and it's usually sent instantly. I absolutely recommend it!

Tokenization of currency and payments: They award you with points that can be exchanged for real money, so it's a gimmick to try and make users think they're making more than they actually are.

Not enough work for everybody: You'll have to answer surveys before you can answer PAID surveys. You'll end up working for hours without receiving anything, because you're never "a match" for the "paid" surveys. Problem with that is you already wasted a lot of time and effort answering their probes and the companies already got the data they wanted without paying you anything.

Conclusion: Stay away from Prizebell and any other service that promises to pay you to work answering surveys. They are very dodgy and their true purpose is to collect as much personal data as possible without paying for it. You're lured by the promise of money and end up losing time AND money.

Tip for consumers:
It's not a get-rich-quick scheme or a Ponzi/pyramid scheme, but it's the next generation of scams, so just as bad. People know there's no way to get rich quick and easy, but making a living or some extra money still sounds nice. There's nothing free of charge in this world, so in this one you'll be rarely getting a few cents by spending hours of your time and a lot of your personal data.

They're not selling a product or service, they're scamming people out of their precious time and valuable data.

Hi Diego, I'm sorry to hear that you did not have a pleasant experience. For market research surveys, you do have to qualify for the survey as market researchers are looking for individuals in certain locations and fit a specific demographic that they are looking for. Any data that you input for market search surveys are not saved if you are disqualified for the survey. I apologize that you were not happy with the experience. We do our best to make sure that it is smooth as possible and offer disqualification points to users when they are disqualified. I hope you can give us another try in the future.

It's a good survey site with some offer walls thrown on there too. I do personally think Swagbucks is better but it is a great alternative if you're in a country where it isn't available or were banned for whatever reason, and it has a bunch of different gift cards and gift card amounts that Swagbucks does not have, like Nintendo ones. I used it very sparsely, so I have only $25 in total earnings.

If you like taking surveys this has to be the site for you. There's always plenty of available surveys and the money soon mounts up. You can cash out with as little as a £2 Amazon voucher which is far better than sites that make you hang on until you've hit £20.

After many frustrating hours of surveys getting to 90-99% complete and THEN being rejected i managed to accrue enough points for a £5 amazon gift card. Made my claim. Decided to do no more as i was getting pretty annoyed at the rejections which generally happened when they were asking my ethnicity, my locale or gender, again. They already asked at the start so if i don't fit requirements end it at the start.

Anyhoo. 24 hours later i get this;

Hi Richard,

Your account was flagged by a security check that is conducted for newer users in order to prevent fraud. We will reopen your account once ID check is completed.

We understand that this an inconvenience, but it is necessary due to the amount of fraud accounts that we encounter.

Your picture must also include a piece of paper with the date and PrizeRebel.com handwritten on it to verify that the ID is in your possession. The photo must be clear and of good quality, as otherwise it will not be accepted.

You can black out information such as your ID Number and photo for privacy.

We DO NOT accept scanned images. Your privacy is important to us. We DO NOT keep this information. This information is deleted once verification has been completed.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to hearing from you.

They have their act together and the site is incredibly easy to follow. However, I think there needs to be a disclaimer. It is geared way more toward younger people. That is fine, they should just mention it before you waste your time with it. I would guess people up to their late 30's, possibly a bit older would do OK with it. I repeatedly did not qualify for surveys. I had to laugh out loud at some of the questions such as do you use this product because."it makes you look cool" ha ha yeah, kinda past all that. Otherwise, if you are younger and need some extra cash give it a shot.

I Have been a Prize Rebel user for over two years. Is this a decent place to make some extra dollars? Yes. Is this a place where one month you can earn $500 and another earn $5? Yes. Is this the easiest place to make extra money? It's one of them. Do they have great support? No. I have earned a lot during my two years. The experience has been acceptable. However, recently I have noticed an increase in 'issues' that I receive when finishing a survey. The magic in this system is that you have no recourse as PrizeRebel holds the power. My instinct has always been accurate in my life, and it's telling me that these issues are done on purpose. PrizeRebel on more than two occasions was caught in a lie for which they were commenting on a situation that I had made up, completely fabricated to see their reaction. They fell for it and fell hard, in my opinion. I would strongly suggest avoiding their OFFER WALL offers, as both times I had completed said offer, nothing was awarded. I was ignored by the offer company, and then even prize rebel didn't give a load in helping me. Plus, they issue standard responses that lack effort and tone.yes, you can make money. But is it worth the drama or lack of transparency? Up to you. I am a simple 40yo man who's been going through cancer treatments with a lot time to kill. This was fun. Worth it.
