  • branded surveys

12/16/22

I have been using this site for most of this year.
On the plus side, their payout system is the best I have found. Very quick and efficient.
Their customer service, although not always helpful, are usually quick and genuine to repsond.

Downside is there are far too many scam surveys where you complete the whole survey but they then 'disqualify you' so that they don't have to reward you. Basically refusing to pay you for your service.
I don't think it is Branded Survey's fault, I think it is the actual survey providers trying to scam you.

Be aware sometimes it is more than half of the surveys are frauds.

Tip for consumers:
Be wary of wasting a lot of time on these

SCAM!
Easy sign up, spend hours doing surveys for them - very slow, ineffective way to make any reward points, but then - as soon as you do manage to make enough to redeem they quickly deactivate and block your account so that they don't have to honour the pitiful rewards.

Even when you chase them up to see how they 'justify' this fraud, they ignore your ticket.
Reported to microsoft, and google, and actionfraud andusa.gov.

BE AWARE OF THIS SCAM

Tip for consumers:
AVOID. THIS IS A SCAM

I have used Fitday.com since the early 2000s - that's how easy to use and consumer friendly it was. As someone who meticulously tracks calories daily - for over 20 years - it was a fantastic website (I never tried the app as it was only for iphones, which I don't have)
20 years of customised foods easily stored on Fitday.
But suddenly - no warning - just gone. The website appears to be there, but I can't login. Several password resets. I even tried to make a new account, but it wont let me login. I have cleaned my browser and DNS caches, but nothing. I
Really really frustrating and disappointing, but lesson learned.
I even used to promote Fitday on the various bodybuilding websites and forums I frequent over the years. Now who is the fool... me.
Now I use the much more reliable and equally user friendly cronometer.com. A more modern and efficient calories and exercise tracker.
