I think it is great and just started it a couple months ago via BigSpot. I have already made close to $100 and just today i recieved a survey worth 3000 points, yes i said three thousand. It said it will hit my account in 4-6 weeks which i trust because i have done this before. 3000 points = $30. yes the survey was 2 hours long (had to watch 2, 1 hour full episodes) but it was worth my time. I am always paid and get at least a few surveys a day worth points and i make roughly $10 every other day. I love it! So im sure anyone reading these knows the ins and outs of Surveyspot.

I rejoined them 6 months ago and have been happy with the results. Recently they switched to a point system where 100 points=$1.00 PROS: They send surveys directly to your email and the points per survey vary. I am satisfied with the amount of surveys i receive and my completion rate is about 65%. I also have received various products from them to try which I always find fun. In addition they use paypal as a payout option once your account reaches $10.00. Once you cash out the money is available immediately in your paypal account. I've had to use customer service once and while it did take 5-7 days to get a reply to my question it was nice that I did receive a reply as well as an answer to my question. Also when you attempt a survey whether you complete it or not you are able to win an entry into their sweepstakes. The number of entries you receive into the sweepstakes varies by the number of entries you win when you play the instant win game. This game you play is either a scratch card or a slot machine. During the month of January 2010 they offered a 50 cents incentive for completing surveys and I was able to complete many of them. I'm hoping that they offer this incentive again sometime soon. CONS: You can also log into there site to take additional surveys but most of the surveys here are for entries into their sweepstakes. I complete a number of them but have never won anything. I prefer the points surveys over the sweepstakes any day. OVERALL: I think this is one of the better sites and would definetly recommend it. You get a decent amount of surveys to complete and can make decent money completing them. I had originally joined this site 1 1/2 years ago and quit because they weren’t profitable.

They used to be on a cash basis, and you'd see actual dollars if you completed surveys - depending on their customer who submits the survey. And you knew how much they were paying. But now it's on a point basis. Bottom line is that you have to build up points and you get too little cash to make it worthwhile. 2.) Many of their surveys are TOO LONG. They aren't well written and the questions are redundant. They may say that it takes 20 minutes to complete. Maybe that's for the people who wrote it and are familiar with the questions. 3.) Another big gripe is that many times the surveys go through a long list of questions to qualify you first. This might take 5 minutes just to get qualified - and if you aren't, you get nothing. This leads me to believe that SurveySpot doesn't have any standards for the surveys they accept. They need to make them short and sweet. My time is too valueable to screw around. My advice: don't waste your time with these people. Time is money. If you're willing to work for 10 cents an hour, go ahead. But the agency that's churning out these surveys is getting paid a lot by their customers and they need to pay us a decent rate for our time and opinion. They say "your opinion is valueable to us." Right. Show me the money! Overall, these are a waste of my time.

Once I signed up, I was thrilled with the amount of surveys I was receiving (usually several per day, plus more once I logged into the site). I was able to qualify for and complete about half of them even in the beginning, and I was content at the time to start with just being rewarded with sweepstakes entries - after all, I was new, and I had read that many sites wouldn't start offering real incentives until I had proved myself committed with a steady track record.However, after a few months, nothing has changed. I seldom receive any surveys offering anything more than sweepstakes entries. Of course, in January, the site has been offering 50 points for every completed survey, but I've found that's not entirely true - 50 points are only being rewarded to those listed up front with the incentive - if you're still taking the extra surveys you might find on the site, or the random email invites with no reward mentioned, you're out of luck. I found that to be downright misleading, especially when I realized I had completed several of those surveys with nothing to show for it.I have seen others complaining on not being rewarded after completion, but fortunately for me - eventually - the few 50 point surveys I did complete this month have been added to account (some listed as "Goodwill" points where the survey number was apparently lost?). I'm still attempting most of the 50 point offers for the remainder of January, but after that, I highly doubt I'll waste my time on anything more from them aside from the few-and-far-between surveys that actually offer points. I'll stay registered for a bit longer to give them a chance to work out these unfortunate kinks.

I made a decent amount of money until they switched over to this points system. I am going all the way through the survey, complete it, get the message that my account will be credited for the points. Then when I check the survey history, it says I didn't meet the criteria. Or the survey isn't even listed. I have been emailing them constantly about this, but they won't send an answer, or even acknowledge my email. I get several surveys from them everyday, but I am not wasting my time. I won't get credited if I complete it.

This company sends a lot of surveys, most of them sweepstakes. The non-sweepstakes used to reward you with money, but now they are using a point system, in which 100 points equals $ 1.00. And this switch resulted in lower earning potential per survey. It used to be $ 2 - 3 per survey, but these days most of the surveys earn you 100 - 150 points, while the amount of time you spend on those stayed the same. Also qualifying for those points survey is somewhat more difficult than in the past. I still do all the points surveys and the occasional sweepstakes, but I am not enjoying this company as much as I used to.

I guess I have earned a couple of thousand dollars during that time, which includes winning a couple of their sweepstakes. In the past I rated Member Support as one of the best. However, SurveySpot changed their site last fall and the changes, with the exception of adding PayPal, have not been for the better. Survey Spot has gone to a points system but the paying surveys have been few and far between. The one plus for Survey Spot is that you don't have to wait on receiving a survey invite by email but can log into the site and might get lucky to participate in several surveys...you just have to wade through the non-paying ones. I have been absolutely disappointed and disgusted with member support. I had unclaimed money remaining in the old system and getting help from member support was pretty much in the form of no support. After at least a dozen emails I finally called corporate headquarters ( finding the number took a great deal of searching) and got the matter resolved. At the writing of this review I have about five surveys I have completed for money, but the amount has yet to be credited to my account. Some survey completions date back to October. Survey Spot is still worth the effort, at least for now, but be aware the new Survey Spot leaves a lot to be desired.

You will receive survey invitations everyday and I mean everyday. Most of them are for sweepstake emtries with no points, which is alright if you really lilke surveys. They tend to be too long and sometimes boring for the incentive they offer. .The quality and subjects vary which at times are interesting.. I always urge anyone interested in joining a survey panel that Survey Spot should be one of the first companies to join. Even though some of subjects are long, but the questions are easy to answer. I also think Survey Spot is a good company for beginners to learn some of the "ins and outs" on how surveys work.
