Survey Junkie Ratings and Reviews

Very Impressive & Good For Extra Money

I’ve been using SurveyJunkie for a while now, and I’ve made a lot of extra money! What people don’t understand about survey apps and other survey websites that pay out, is that 1. It’s not going to make you rich & 2. It’s just a alternative to make some extra money in your free time. I’ve been using SurveyJunkie and I’ve made over 120$ from it in 1 1/2 months. It’s just an alternative and a good one at that!

May I have some suggestions though. Yes the app is great, but I do have some features or improvements. One is the way you make points(money). I believe they should add a feature where the surveys your most likely going to not apply for or qualify lower point value, and the ones your most likely to qualify for higher. This is still based on the personal information tabs that you fill out at the beginning. Two is the types of surveys. It would be pretty cool in my opinion if there videos (around 10-20 mins) that talk about certain subjects. Then you give your feedback on them, depending on the length of the video your get more points. Win-Win situation correct? I watch your ad, I get paid, you get feedback for my opinion. Seems fair?

Survey Junkie has helped me in my day-to-day life with extra money and I give it a five star rating! Just remember that it’s not going to make you rich it’s just to earn you some extra money! If you want more money, get a job!

first survey app I've actually made money from

i have tried so many survey apps to make money and genuinely put hours into each with no results. this is the first app i got actual money from. took about 2 hrs of surveys for $10. $5 an hour might not sound great but i made this money while i was watching movies, exercising, walking to class, etc. things I'd be doing anyway for free! not going to pay out huge but great for a few extra dollars every week. couple of issues like sometimes ill be taking a survey and i'll accidently click the exit button and theres no way to get that survey back. this is incredibly frustrating I've lost probably $5-$7 amd an hour of my time in total to this simple mistake. definitely wish there was a way to fix this. also it'll say a survey is 15 min or whatever but that doesn't account for the 10-20 minute long pre survey u have to take just to see if u qualify and if u dont, u only get paid like 2-7 cents. frustrating especially because each pre-survey asks almsot exactly the same questions. can we not fill put a profile for ourselves to help determine which surveys we do and do not qualify for? ice answered my age, occupation, salary, health issues, social media i use, pets i have, car i have, homeowner status, etc etc etc dozens of times now. pleasseeeee try to patch this if possible!!! super annoying. regardless of any flaws this is still the only survey app id ever recomend to someone and im grateful i found it!!

thank you 😭

so this app admittedly is a bit buggy, BUT i was really desperate for some extra cash to buy some groceries before my next payday. i was quickly able to take enough surveys to cash out $10. the message said the money would be deposited in my account in up to 5 business days, which was a bit of a bummer because by that point I’ll get my paycheck, and I needed cash like yesterday. BUT the deposit came through in 2 days. thanks to this app, i will be able to eat this week 🙏🙏🙏🙏

i have tried some other survey apps and platforms in the past, and it takes FOREVER to earn enough money to cash out. with this app, it seems like they actually do a decent job of trying to filter for surveys you’re qualified for. I have been able to complete 1 survey for full points out of every 5-7 available surveys. It might seem not great but it is way better than other platforms I’ve tried.

despite the bugs (the app or surveys taking a while to load), this app does exactly what it says, and actually pays out. I am extremely grateful for the $10 I’ve earned so far. thank you for helping me eat this week 🙏

Flawed but useful

Obviously making money is awesome and being able to do it with surveys on your free time is a plus, but this app feels like it's tugging your chain a lot of the time. Surveys have an estimated completion time and an amount of point you get for completing it shown to you when it lists all the available surveys, but the time doesn't seem to account for the starting questionnaire to each survey that determines whether you qualify to take the survey. This is an issue because you can spend 10 minutes going through the questionnaire on a survey that is supposedly supposed to take 5 minutes long just to have you finish the starting questionnaire and have it tell you that you don't qualify and are compensated with a measly 3 points. On top of this, I've noticed several bugs. Some surveys take a million years to load the next question which only wastes more time, sometimes a survey gets stuck on a question or loading screen or something totally random can happen. Some of these surveys have bugs that don't allow you to properly answer the question, and it's usually things that seem like common sense to get right, other times the survey will say it's redirecting you only to fail or get stuck loading something, so now all you can do is close the app and not be compensated for anything you had previously done. It seems like the developers of this app are consistently making changes to the app, so hopefully these issues do get fixed.

Answer and you shall receive.

I am fond of SurveyJunkie because it is comprehensible and easy to use. With the available and ever-coming surveys available on the website, accessible through the app, and sent to your inbox when opted for, it is simple to make money off of your opinions.
My only complaint on the app is that, although it is accessible using VoiceOver, I have found that updating my profile is somewhat difficult. You see, as a person with a visual impairment, I was able to notice and remedy the issue of the question panels jumping backwards for some reason while I was navigating from the question to the answer choices. I am unsure if this issue is one only I am experiencing, but I would like to note that, while I myself could see the issue, I do not represent others with my disability who may not be as fortunate when they encounter this problem. My VoiceOver, although it indicated the correct choices of the question that the panel jumped back to, read the same question. This was true on screen as well, so rather than an accessibility issue, I believe this may be a bug or error.
Otherwise, I hold that SurveyJunkie is an extremely resource for brands and companies to hear members’ opinions while rewarding members for their honesty in participation.

Is this a bug or is this what it always does?

I enjoy taking surveys, especially when I can get paid for them. I downloaded Survey Junkie for that purpose. I was looking up ways to add a new source of income and Survey Junkie was suggested. I enjoyed the surveys I have taken online and through the app, but it seems that the app might have a glitch. Just now, I took a survey having to do with insurance. I went through what seemed to be the whole thing. After finishing, the app tells me, “You don’t qualify for this survey,” and only gives me two points. I thought I just took the survey and was supposed to get 50 points. Other times I outright don’t qualify or get told the survey filled up or isn’t available. The funny thing is that Survey Junkie has emailed me surveys that have gotten me the promised points. The app itself denies me more than anything else. If I’m getting more points by way of email and my online browser, I might just delete the app. Unless this is looked into. I have just started on Survey Junkie, and I have redeemed my first 500 points. It’s the holiday weekend so I’ll have to see if the $5 went to my bank tomorrow. Great concept, but I’m tired of trying to take good paying surveys and getting screwed after going the distance on some of them. Edit: Never mind. I got booted from the online surveys too.

Edit 2: This app DOES pay! I saw my money in my account today!

I have some opinions.

I am a stay at home mom of three kids, and wanted to find an app that i could earn actual money. I joined survey junkie June 2022, and as of right now have cashed out about $90. I set a daily goal of $5/day in earnings, and am able to reach that goal most days. The surveys pay in pennies, and generally only take 20min +/-. The reason for the 3stars is that lately i’ve been taking surveys and not earning my compensation, which is annoying. I have taken the full length of a survey spend 20-30min, and in the last question been kicked out for “not qualifying” when the qualifying questions happen in the beginning of the survey. Which makes me feel like they’re taking advantage because they got their survey and I didn’t get anything for it. Another complaint would be that even though I have completed my “profile” they list more surveys that I don’t qualify for than I actually do, which makes me question why the profile feature is even there. Every survey asks the question of gender/age/income etc, that does not count towards the survey time, which is all in my profile, so it seems like waste of time to have to enter those again. But over all I AM earning money for my POV, with the same amount of effort that I used to spend scrolling facebook.

Redeeming points is a hassle

I recently closed the bank account that my SurveyJunkie was linked to. I tried to link a new bank account and there is not an option to do so. I made a request to customer support stating that the account was closed. I was told that when I redeem my points that I would be given a prompt to enter my new bank information. I tried to redeem to my PayPal account but kept getting put into verification. After passing verification numerous times and still unable to redeem to PayPal. I tried to do the bank transfer so I could set up my new bank information. And I didn’t get that option either. What did happen was my points were redeemed to a closed bank account which is probably someone else’s bank account now. Because after a certain amount of time those account numbers recirculate out. So far the only thing that is true about this survey junkie is that you get the amount you see in points. But as for redemption and all that other mess that is supposed to be so easy to do. It’s a lie. You aren’t able to redeem to PayPal and yon aren’t able to update your payment information. So basically if you take all these surveys but it’s not a guarantee that you will get paid. So use this app at your own risk. I would’ve given 5 star but they try to make it hard for you to be paid.

Ultimately my fave survey app…

I read a couple of the other reviews & liked what one other reviewers said, it’s not enough for an income but it’s legit as a lil side money. I’ve made about $200 but have doing it for about 6 months consistently or so now. I mean you’re getting free money to answer a survey. I do like the challenges they do regularly like complete 3 survey’s for 7 days & earn a bonus of $5.00. Do not agree they shoulda taken away the survey medley 1 min=10 pts away from counting though. But have noticed lately I do seem to qualify for most of the surveys on my list. I’ll go all the way through the list sometimes & usually jus end up coming back later. U are rewarded by points which are equal to a penny so the daily survey medley they send out every day, they’re at least given you a chance to earn 10cents from them every day. Have also noticed lately that I’ll be into a survey & will be half way done all the way to almost done sometimes and it will kick me out saying “I didn’t qualify “ or “survey had filled” which is soo frustrating. They should figure out a way to prevent this & not let anyone new into a survey after it’s already reached it’s maxed Participants

Will Restrict Your Account Without Warning

These people are ridiculous. I’ve used them on and off over the years and they’ve gotten worse and worse. Twice they have restricted my account. I fought to get it back the first time because it was $30 on there, if you take these surveys you know how much effort that took to accumulate. After two weeks of back and forth they gave me my account back with little to no reasoning for the restriction and THEN I couldn’t cash out for 72 hours or some arbitrary deadline. I finally did and set the app aside for a while out of frustration. I went on there periodically over the last few weeks but after doing survey after survey and being cheated out of my points I gave up. (Cheating meaning I spend 30 min getting to the end of the survey, after answering in great detail to numerous questions, they acknowledge and thank me ask my demo info and then the screen refreshes and says I didn’t qualify and they give me the 2 or 3 pity points) Today I am setting up a new laptop so I go to log into my survey junkie account and it’s restricted again. There’s $5 on there I won’t bother fighting about. Don’t waste your time, it will seem nice the first few days but after your first cash out be prepared for shady surveys stealing your time and then eventually locking your out of your account and not compensating you.
