My Experience
Surveyspot is a one of my favorite paid online survey sites. They send me LOT of surveys, although many surveys are sweepstakes surveys and have a chance to play instant game, there ARE cash surveys. Surveyspot also has high paying online interactive surveys/online focus groups, and once I even got a local offline (on-site) focus group opportunity through SurveySpot!

SurveySpot has a well-organized website, where members can check available surveys, payment history, request payment etc. I have been paid many times, and never had problem with payment. Surveyspot pay members in a timely manner.

Other Notes/Tips

You might need to be patient with Surveyspot at the beginning - I received LOT sweepstakes surveys when I first started with Surveyspot, and I also didn't qualify for many, but cash surveys will come if you stick with them and you will notice you get to qualify for more surveys.

Log into your account and check available surveys frequently, you might get good paying surveys and focus groups.

SurveySpot is a great paid survey site, and I highly recommend them!

As of right now (SSI)Survey Sampling International (Runs Survey Spot) also runs multiple other sites including the following:

Opinion Outpost
SurveySpot
PCH Online Surveys
OpinionWorld
YourVoice

Apparently having an account with more then one of these sites even if you were registered with them since BEFORE they merged under SSI will eventually get all your accounts locked.

And on top of that SSI support is a joke, upon telling me that was why my accounts at Survey Spot, PCH Online Surveys, and Opinion Outpost, had been locked they said to reply with any questions, my reply's come back as undeliverable.

#45 RE: SurveySpot — Golgotha 2011-11-08 20:50

Update - Received to many sweeps and didn't qualify enough for surveys...so I deleted my account.

#44 mary 2011-03-10 17:27

total crap they canceled my account without reson and took all my money i have spent time on/ i am not only angree this is a worst company I have ever met

#43 JUST ME 2011-01-02 16:23

:sad:

Like alot of others I too never qualify for anything, after 2 weeks of filling out quaulfiers I dumped them

#42 ron 2010-09-08 00:32

I have had a problem to cashing out. Now I try to login and it will not let me. What is going on? I have enough points to redeem for around 40 bucks.

#41 Tom 2010-09-03 13:16

Up until recently I have never had a problem with Survey Spot. Now after dozens of attempts and meeting their list of requirements to redeem points I am unable to do so. They do not reply to my emails and I even tried calling them directly on the phone only to find out the number was not a working number.

#40 mlynn 2010-08-29 18:04

Yea looks like everybody has the same problem. Another member (Laura) reported/complained the same issue at this SurveySpot thread (http://mysurvey123.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=103&func=view&id=2465&catid=12) at the message board. Try Firefox.

#39 Kathi 2010-08-29 15:48

Kim, you are not alone. Nearly everyone has the same problem. I tried for five days, send three e-mails, and never go a response. I read on Survey Police to try going through Google Chrome or Firefox. I tried Firefox. It took two tries, but it finally when through. Good luck!

#38 Paypal Pay out — Kim 2010-08-29 10:29

I like Survey Spot and currently have enough points to make a claim via paypal. However, everytime I try to make my claim I get an error code. It says something like, this transaction has been flagged in our system. Please contact our customer service department with the following error code. (and it gives me a code). How do I contact them? I tried e-mailing and haven't gotten a response. Any help is appreciated.

#37 surveyspot — Tanya 2010-08-11 19:33

hi i am a new panelist, is great to hear all opinions here from u volks, i found it very helpfull indeed. As was mentioned, i start receiving sweeps surveys from surveyspot n did not earn any penny, but u give me some hope to proseed with them...

#36 poetry626 2010-07-07 22:44

I LOVE THIS SITE I RECIVED MY PAY PAL PAYMENT FASTER THEN ANY OTHER SITE IN THE SAME DAY $10

#35 re: — Lee 2010-05-26 19:38

Quoting anna:

Survey Spot is not as good as it once was. .....And their Rewards Claim has been undergoing maintenance for almost 3 weeks, so a panelist is not able to cash out yet. I hope that Survey Spot improves soon. This used to be my top earning panel. Oh how I miss those days.

I agree that the number of paid surveys is very low but I've made about $50 in March-April due to some higher paying projects. The claims maintainence is fixed and I get my money within a day or two via Paypal now.

#34 re: CASH OUTS — TIM 2010-05-26 13:21

[]CALL THEM NON-STOP SURVEYSPOTS NUMBER IS 203 567 7200 KEEP CALLING THEM TILL THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CASH OUT PROBLEMS

#33 anna 2010-03-27 23:09

Survey Spot is not as good as it once was. I've been a member for almost 2 years. Back then I made lots of money with them. But now I hardly earn anything at all. I made only 200 points which equals to 2 dollars so far for the month of March! Most survey invites that I get now are for worthless sweeps entries. Whenever they do send out surveys for points, I usually don't qualify for them.
And their Rewards Claim has been undergoing maintenance for almost 3 weeks, so a panelist is not able to cash out yet. I hope that Survey Spot improves soon. This used to be my top earning panel. Oh how I miss those days.

#32 Angela 2010-03-07 10:23

SurveySpot is a great site. Last month, I earned 54.50. I make at least $10 a week for doing surveys. There are alot of surveys that I can't qualify for, but I usually am able to qualify for enough to make at least $10 a week. I use paypal so as soon as I claim my money, it automatically shows up in my paypal. I love it.

#31 Chris 2010-02-26 14:30

Joined about 3 days ago, already reached pay out, got my ten dollars in paypal within a few hours. Best site I've come across.

#30 Steve 2009-12-26 11:40

I used to do quite well with Surveyspot but recently I am having problems since they have changed to the points system. Two weeks ago I sent them this complaint. I have followed up several times on this through their website and have yet to hear even though they promise to respond in 72 hours.

#29 Not a favorite — cocoabella 2009-12-22 14:39

I posted a comment here on Survey Spot a couple of weeks ago, but it was not posted for some reason????
Don't know why? Was it because I said
Survey Spot does not deserve a 5 star rating?

I will say this again. Survey Spot does not deserve 5 stars. I give it a 1 star if that.
I've been with them since June 09, and I earned a whole $1.00. They send lots of surveys but they are only for sweepstakes.
Big woo. I have to wonder if anyone even really wins their sweeps.
And now with SS changing their payment system to points, I think it would take a person until they are 90 yrs old to get enough points to cash out. I am going to cancel my account with Survey Spot. I am sick of wasting my time with them.
The only plus I can say about them is that
I did get to do 1 product test in the 6 months that I have been a panel member w/
Survey Spot. But 6 months, that's a long time and a lot of work to only get one bottle of body wash and $1.00. My time is more valuable than that.

I hope the administrator of this site will post my comments this time.
People need to know the truth, they
deserve the truth, so they can make
the right decisions when deciding which
survey companies to sign up with.

#28 ac52289 2009-12-03 14:37

i tried to make account here, but i never got a password, and i was never asked to make one, so now i cant long into my account

#27 Paypal pay mthod — Michael 2009-11-18 17:19

Hi, where i can find paypal pay button? I can just see check payment

#26 Golgotha 2009-10-31 13:24

I receive 20-25 surveys a week. Most are for sweepstakes. I have'nt done any online focus groups. There ok survey site for me. I just cashed out and it only took about 7 days to get the check. Last time it took over 4 weeks. I have'nt had any problems with them.

#25 re: — mlynn 2009-08-20 15:23

Hi Cheryl, you might want to do some of the sweepstakes surveys - lot of people (including me) feel that doing those surveys helps them get more cash surveys.. also you can login your account and check available from your member page. Hope it help! Hang in there, surveyspot is a great survey site! :-)

:-)

#24 cheryl cunningham 2009-08-20 14:57

I am trying to be patient with Survey Spot. I have'nt really have't participated in surveys regulary, because i am more interested in cash then points or sweepstake chances, so I'm trying to hang in there.

#23 shill 2009-07-27 01:20

:evil: I just canceled my account with them. After answering 25 minutes of their 20 survey. I was told I do not qualify. This happened numerous times during their survey. I have other people I know the told me the same thing. I did not believe them, now I do. I don't know if it's a technical glitch or something else. The funny thing is I always get to spin or scratch off for their sweepstakes. I've been a member for a little more that a year. I have not receive one survey yet that I was able to complete. I hope it was just a fluke. Nevertheless, I canceled my membership.

#22 Update ! Accepting only U.S ? — Patty 2009-06-16 17:46

:sad:

:sad:

Oh wow this is a good one. Survey spot tells me now the panel is only opened to United States now. What a coincidence they just changed to paypal. They say I can come back and now they say I can't ? They tell me to sign up with Opinion World, their partner. Well, no thanks I just opted out from Opinion World. Smells fishy to me. They are not professional. They have been playing with me all along.

#21 Opened to Canadians ? — Patty 2009-06-16 10:19

Hello,

I tried to register to Survey spot and the registration form for Canada is wrong. I cannot enter my province because canadian provinces is not listed only States.
Are you sure this is opened to Canadians ?

I have been a member before and closed my account because of the problems I have been having with the paid surveys. It ressembles what midnight316 is going through. They never fix their technical problems even if they do answer my e-mails and say they are fixing it. I got fed up after over 2 months of this and could earn anything anymore so I left. I waited until they updated their website to Paypal.

#20 mlynn 2009-06-02 15:49

I just checked my surveyspot account, no problem. How do you check your sweepstakes entries? I don't know there is a way to do so...

#19 having problems with the site — midnight316 2009-05-29 02:57

When I first started doing surveys a few weeks ago I really liked Survey Spots's site it was easy to use and even if I did not qualify for alot of the surveys I still had fun with the instant win slots.I hit a few for 25,one for 100 chances for the sweeps entry,I did not keep track of exactly how many But I know it was about or over 200 chances.When I went on the site last night to try to check for surveys,and my total number of chances in the sweeps,I kept getting pages that would not display.Are they experiencing technical difficulties,or is some thing wrong with my account.Do you have any input.

#18 Justin Anderson 2009-05-14 20:19

I have to say Survey Spot is the best Online Survey Panel out thier. I have recieved numerous product test's, online survey's and different online study's. My last product test was for 6 cans of soup and I recieved $50.00 dollar's for that, also I had just finished a survey/review threw them for a manufacturer of medication's, and I also recieved $50.00 dollars for that. All together with the survey's and the product test's I have made around $400.00 dollars from them in a year.

#17 mlynn 2009-04-03 16:33

Hi Kathy - maybe stay with them a little bit longer?

#16 Kathy 2009-04-02 19:59

I know I have completed at least 15 surveys, but have received nothing more that the sweepstakes entries; should I just keep at it?????????

#15 netgirl2 2009-04-01 10:10

I haven't had any luck yet with Survey Spot. I keep getting the surveys that offer entries to sweepstakes. The few paying surveys I have gotten I haven't qualified for. But it sounds like maybe if I stick with it they will send me more. I'm going to give it a bit longer.

#14 Diane 2009-02-07 17:48

I've been a member of SurveySpot for well over 1 year. They have lots of surveys daily and only once did I have an interactive one that paid $20. They do pay out fast. I'd like more interactive ones from them.

#13 Geraldine 2009-01-29 23:21

Hello! I just received a check of $45 this month, $40 was from two 60-minute research which i did last november and it takes 6 weeks to credit. I wrote them an email about it and what i learned is that you keep those invitations that you go through, and i even print out the conclusion that says congratulations and etc. just to keep track of the survey that i did successfully. Because after 6 weeks, i might do a follow up of my little earnings and i need the topic, date, title and refference number for my claim. They really are great and very supportive to thier members. I haven't won any sweeps yet hopefully soon. And it is really important to log-in and take a survey on the site, i get most 3 dollar-15-20 minutes survey from there. I like them...

#12 Lisa Castle 2009-01-23 09:45

Good morning! Today I requested my first ever check from surveyspot, it was for 10 dollars. What's the turnaround time on those, please, if someone can tell me. I usually clear surveyspot out as one of my first things I do every morning with my cup of coffee lol. Like most, I get frustrated with all the sweeps entries ones too. Then I got the 10 dollar survey invite and that renewed my hope. Doesn't hurt much, either, that the site immediately showed that I took that survey and credited me for it in decent time. I want to thank those who advised to check their site daily for paid ones, thats something I've never done. Question- has anyone EVER heard of or know a winner of anything? I seriously must have 10's of sweeps entries....also, the instant games, is it possible to instant win something other than entries? I ask that because on the site you're able to view named people who've won like electronic things etc. Well, thats it for me, thanks for this site! This site has now become my third stop each morning....first check email, do surveyspot to get out of the way....then pop into here. Eventually my plan is to get onboard with every recommended survey then come here too, in order to post all my experiences/tip/questions, etc. Have a wonderful day!!

#11 Charee 2008-12-18 13:08

Surveyspot is my favorite survey site! I earn more money by going through the surveys on their website. Its best to even do the free ones because sometimes its not free, it could be a screener for focus groups, or the company you taking the survey for actually pays you directly. Since August I have been letting my rewards build up, I'm almost up to $300! I haven't done that many online focus groups, but all those $1 to $5 surveys add up!! I recommend that everyone should give them a try!

#10 Angelica 2008-12-16 16:07

All of my SuverySpot experiences have been great. The most I have gotten for a survey is $10, but most are $3 to $5. However, they do not credit your account right away. Still, every single check I have received in about a week and it adds up very quickly. I usually do not wait for an invite, & am constantly checking to see if there are more surveys open to take. I have never won anything for the drawing. They do have a lot of sweepstakes. But some are really good surveys with high rewards, you just have to keep an eye out for them.

#9 Cynthia 2008-12-08 19:50

I have stuck with them and have cashed out twice although I haven't been invited to do focus groups yet. You say to stick with the unpaid little ones? If I do these, they are will use them to screen myself for focus groups?

#8 FAirplay 2008-12-08 16:26

I make loads of cash with Survey Spot loads im talking loads focus groups 1-15 dollar surveys here is the thing YOU HAVE TO DO SOME OF THE FREE SURVEYS THEY SEND YOU AT FIRST!!!!! Plus its mostly the free surveys they screen you for focus groups ive cashed out $71 $48 this month $51 and they slow down on me also sometimes. LOG IN AND TAKE THE SURVEYS IF THEY DONT SEND YOU PAID ONES YET. Most of the PAID surveys are availible you just have to screen out all the ones you are not interested. Dont delete them go ito them and if you truly dont like the survey just screen out. Its my highest paying one to date (and no i dont work for them I got a full household so I guess that might help too. Dont give on em do at least the short free ones and then they will start sending frequent paid ones...... Have fun!

#7 Brian P. 2008-11-25 16:00

I just finished doing a survey for $10. It took about 35 min.

#6 Mei 2008-11-02 17:26

Thank you for your feedback Leaf!

I no longer do their sweepstakes surveys, just the cash surveys which I get from time to time.

#5 Leaf 2008-11-01 19:38

At first I received paying surveys, now sweep after sweep which I completed hoping for more paid surveys. Have stopped doing sweeps but still no paid surveys. I have cashed out & that will be that.

#4 Mei 2008-06-29 17:04

Hi Jeff,

Sorry to hear it doesn't work out for you, I totally understand that you want to give up..

Like I said I had the same experience at the beginning, and I am glad I sticked to them. Who knows maybe you will get cash surveys soon.

#3 Jeff D 2008-06-28 21:08

eh, i gave up on Survey Spot....i know of other people who like them and get paying surveys, i never did though, all they did was clog up my email acct....i got about 100 or more of their sweepstakes kind....filled out about 30 of those and said enough.....ah well...i give them a thumbs down...

#2 Mei 2008-02-14 19:34

Hi jus,

I had a similar experience at the beginning, I almost gave up on them.. Almost 3 or 4 months later, I started receiving cash surveys and making money.

I recently just did two interactive surveys/focus groups for them that pay $25 and $30.

They have lot of surveys, hope it will work for you soon!

Best regards,

#1 jus 2008-02-14 14:59
