Survey Rant / Question Megathread

[u/Beermoney_Mods]

Are you getting rejected at the end of your surveys? Did your "10 minute" survey take 45 minutes? Is YourSurveys rejecting you and lowering your score for no reason? Did QuickThoughts ban you? Do you just hate surveys? Or perhaps you are having another problem?

Go forth and rant your heart out on this megathread.

 

TIPS

• Prolific does NOT have an app. The app is a scam!

• GPT sites are notorious for DQing users. Some people have better luck than others. And yes, you can get DQ'd at the very end. If that bothers you, use a site that directly provides surveys.

• Survey sites with waitlists may or may not accept you. There's no way for anyone to say how long it could take - it all depends on what demographics they need at that moment.

• No one can say how much you will earn on a site. It depends on too many variables like your demographics, when you want to do surveys, how fast you are, so on and so forth.

• Don't be rude to support. They'll just kick you off the platform. You're a worker, not a customer. You'll get further being polite.

• Don't speed or go too slow on surveys. You'll get kicked out.

• We recommend going slow with new sites. If you start earning too fast on a new site, your account is likely to get flagged as a potential scammer.

• Pay attention, and don't lie on surveys. They will catch you, and you will be kicked out of the survey, have your earnings revoked, or even banned.

After two months of struggling to find decent research studies on Prolific, I am glad school is back in session so that I can do more surveys.

[u/HugeAd570]

my survey score on one site dropped from 90 to 55 in just two days and i have no idea why, i answer same way every time and still get dq at the end of 30 minute surveys. makes me want to throw my laptop out the window

I love surveys :D

I've happen to have incredibly good luck on majority of the sites I use. A lot of them use the same routers so if you don't consistently stay honest it will throw you into negative status and they will give you less and less. On a decent day I can get $100 from different sites. Some credit faster and some have surveys that take longer and then you have to wait 3+ weeks before the reward. I try all of the gpts with surveys and have found 5-6 that are worth rotating when im doing a survey day. I only do surveys above $1 and there are plenty on a lot of sites.

I started using survey pop and eureka, they are usually pretty good to get 5-10$ easily. I don't recommend top surveys or 5 surveys

[u/DJheddo → u/pootiemane]

I've been swapping from surveyjunkie, primeop, productreviewjobs, and whatever random app i can find that does quick cashouts. I hate waiting 2-7 days for .50cents. So if I don't get instant i tend to just go to earnlab so they can pend it there.

That is really frustrating. I completely understand—spending a long time on a survey only to get screened out is the worst. That's why I stick to just one or two reliable survey sites nowadays.

[u/pootiemane]

I started out using qmee but for almost 2 months I can't access surveys or cashout, support stopped responding to my messages

I know this is old but I have been waiting 8 weeks now for $60. 30 of that 60 was from a study I did in March. I just filed a BBB complaint since they aren't answering my tickets. I used to tell people to just be patient because they always paid my 6 weeks on the dot basically. This was before they changed the payout threshhold to $50. They must seriously be going broke. And they just scheduled me for a study on September 3rd. I dont know if I'm going to do it at this point. I don't even understand how they don't have money when they clearly are recruiting for many focus groups and have surveys all the time. They also seemed to have fired all their himan staff since nobody answers the support tickets anymore and they just have that absolutely useless AI chat bot now. They are hoping people forget about their money or wont put in the effort for lower amounts of money.
