Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

Today I received two more paid survey invitations through email. They were both for sweepstakes entries. Then I logged into my account to see if they had any more paid surveys waiting for me there. They did not.

They have a page after you log in where they have some boxes that you can check if the statement applies to you, and if it applies then you take a paid survey on that topic. None of the statements applied to me today so I didn’t get to take any more paid surveys.

Overall today spent about 2 minutes total on Greenfield Online , same totals as yesterday, (greenfield online day 2), + 2 sweepstakes entries

Today I went to my account and filled out some of the member portraits to increase my chances for being selected for paid surveys. Each one had an indication of how much time it would take to complete it. They took a combined 3 minutes for me to do. Didn’t receive any more paid surveys from them.

Today I checked my mail to find three emails from Greenfield Online. They were three invitations for paid surveys. They each had a dollar amount in the title. The first one was $5 I answered a couple questions and did not qualify. The second one was for $3, also did not qualify, and the third one was for $7, also did not qualify.

I went on the website and spent another 5 minutes taking paid surveys… and not qualifying for them.

Later in the day I went back and received another invitation for paid surveys in my email. This one was a ten dollar survey. I answered to questions and did not qualify. I went back to the website and they did not have any more surveys for me.

Grand Total Earned With Greenfield Online – $13 + 69 sweepstakes entries

So I had some spare time and decided to go back to Greenfield Online

I didn’t qualify for about the first 10-15 survey. Each one I didn’t qualify for took about 20 seconds to fill out. Then I finally qualified for a survey. This survey paid $10.00 and should approximately take 30 minutes. I qualified for this survey and it took me around 25 minutes to complete it. After taking the paid survey I returned to take some more. Got some more sweepstakes entries but no more money. This entire paid survey session took about 60 minutes to complete.

So after one day, about 1 hour 40 minutes taking paid surveys, I have made $13 and gotten 65 entries into sweepstakes. However I will not see the $13 in my account for a few weeks until they are done giving out all the surveys, and I won’t know if I win anything until (I think) April 1st when they actually pick a winner.

Right off the bat after confirming my email address they have a survey waiting for me. The reward was entry into a sweepstakes greenfield estimated that this survey would take about 20 minutes <subjective statement>normally I would not even think about taking a survey for sweepstakes entry but I want to provide the readers with as much information as I can</subjective statement>. I answered about 4 questions in the survey and then was informed that I did not qualify to take the rest of the survey, but supposedly I was entered into another survey.

They had another survey waiting there for me to take the reward was $1 and they estimated it would take about 15 minutes. I answered about 4 questions again and did not qualify for the survey, but I got another sweepstakes entry.

Decided to enter for another paid survey and answered about 4 questions again. Did not qualify for a survey and was given entry into a sweepstakes.

I’m going to keep repeating this until I get some $$$ …..

Alright, fast forward about 40 minutes I have made about $3 and have gotten 45 entries into sweepstakes. Each survey I got declined for only took about 15 seconds and I got entry into a sweepstakes for it. The website said that it takes a couple weeks for the money to be credited to your account so my account balance still says 0. I believe you are able to “cash out” whenever you want and that they pay via check or paypal.

From looking around the website they seem to have an large supply of paid surveys available. I just got rejected from 45 different surveys and got accepted by 2 in about 40 minutes. They also sent me an email offering me a guaranteed $10 survey that would take about 20 minutes, but I did not fit in the right demographic for that.

This is my review of survey savvy on the first day of starting the blog. I had been a member of them for a while before starting this blog, so that is why I already have an account balance. So far I have made $64.25 with Survey Savvy.

I would say it took me about 9 months to make the $64.25. I did skip some surveys they sent out though. Each survey was 10-15 minutes long. I believe they pay a minimum of $3 per survey completed.

You are able to request payment at any time, there is no minimum payout. It takes about 4 weeks, in my experience, for your check to arrive. Survey Savvy only pays by check, no paypal no direct deposit.

If you don’t qualify for a survey, which happened a couple of times to me, they enter you into a drawing where you can win some money. I never won anything but I have heard of people winning them. Not a lot of money I think something like 10 bucks.

They have surveys you can take called “portraits” which help them learn more about you and will supposedly get you invited to do more paid surveys. They don’t pay you any money for these so I never bothered with them, maybe that is why I didn’t receive that many paid surveys.

So far I have received three checks from them, each took about a month to come. One for $10 one for $17 and one for $24.

There are many websites on the internet that offer reviews of paid surveys sites and give you lists of paid survey websites, some are good and some are not so good. I wanted to make this website an ongoing review of several of the leading paid survey websites, and answer the question: are paid surveys a scam.

I’m trying to make my website an objective review of all the paid survey websites. I am going to try to use as little opinions as possible and stick to the plain and objective facts. I am going to try to say exactly what my experience with each paid survey website and then let you decide for yourself which paid survey sites are right for you based on my personal experience.

If any of the readers have a website that they want to see up here please leave a comment and I will see what I can do. Also if you have a review of a paid survey website that you want me to post please leave a comment and we will get in touch.
