I've emailed them w/no response. I am getting tons of survey requests from them, but don't want to waste my time or my family's time if they don't pay out or respond. On a lighter note, Lightspeed has been great. I earned $10 last week! Dollar menu lunch for my family of seven! Thanks Crystal for your website. It has been a blessing to our family.

And as I've mentioned before, in a period of nine months with four to five invites a day, I've made $3.00 total with SurveySpot. So would not recommend them. Toluna is one of my favorites.

I got my checks within a week of reaching payout and they also sent me freebies to try and answer surveys on about the product later. Freebies like Pampers diapers and Yoplait Smoothies! :) Crystal, if you find that you like this one, they also have a nice referral program. 150 points per referral. $10 for every 1,000 points that you earn. Just a nice survey company. Oh and if I remember correctly, they even give you time estimates on the surveys and tell you how close you are to being done.

Even if you look up their number and call them they will dodge you. This was as of a couple of years ago, though, so maybe things have changed?

Minimum cashout is 20$ now, which can take a while to get the points for. It also takes approximately 8 weeks to get a check, but the checks do come (just got one on Saturday).

Usually the surveys that pay money, I don't "qualify" for. It seems they ask a lot of questions that would give them the information they are looking for in the survey, then say I don't qualify for the survey so they don't have to pay anything. I've gotten to where I very seldom do their surveys anymore. Toluna on the other hand, I love. It is sooooo easy to do their surveys. I get a lot of survey opportunities from them. They are slow to pay, but it's easy money!! I signed up with Surveyspot quite awhile ago, and have only been able to cash in about $23. Usually the surveys that pay money, I don’t “qualify” for.

Everything is either points or "spin the wheel" to enter a contest. Doesn't seem quite legitimate. I signed up with surveyspot and I don’t see any surveys that pay money.

The last time I asked for payment it was nearly 3 months before I finally received it. They were also unresponsive to email. Last week I requested my first payment since the changeover and they're promising payment in 8 weeks, which is still too long. You should also beware that while the survey invitations give a range for your reward (ie, $1-$3) you always get the lower amount.

It used to be called Your 2 Cents surveys and ever since it switched a few bad things have happened. I never seem to qualify for the surveys anymore when before I qualified a lot more. Also, the surveys have gotten a lot longer for less money. Before if I spent 30 minutes, I would get $3 but now it seems like if I spend 30 minutes I get $1. Even when it says $1-$3, I never ever get the highest payout. Also, it seems like you have to answer a lot more questions to see if you even qualify for the survey instead of knowing within the first minute - so a lot of times, I waste about 7-8 mintues only for them to tell me I don't qualify! That is like stealing to me - they steal my time since they can still use some of the answers I give, but I get nothing for it. I am not trying to be all negative, but it hasn't been great for me. Maybe other people will have better luck than me! I have to be honest here – I don’t love Toluna. It used to be called Your 2 Cents surveys and ever since it switched a few bad things have happened.
