With companies spending millions of dollars each year on market research, it’s no surprise that people have made make money taking surveys one of the most searched for work at home opportunities.
Most major corporations, like McDonald’s and Starbucks, pay professional market research companies to gather all their information for them. SurveySay.com is not a professional market research company. Instead, it is simply a portal website that brings you to a variety of market research companies that are looking for people in the demographic you represent.
Since Survey Say simply matches you to other, certified market research companies, there is no way to predict how you will be compensated for the surveys you complete. Some companies require you to create a PayPal account, and you are paid with actual cash deposits into that account.
Other companies reward you with gift cards, prizes, or cash rewards that are different depending on the time of year or type of surveys you are taking. One thing to always keep in mind when looking at a survey company is that before you are given any compensation, you must either complete a certain number of surveys or reach a certain dollar amount in your account before you can receive any rewards. You need to make sure this number is a reasonable amount, otherwise you may end up doing lots of work without any compensation at all.
So is SurveySay.com a Scam?
Not at all. The number one concern about any online survey company is whether or not the website is asking you to pay money in order to be a member, or to get access to the surveys. The reality is that any legitimate paid survey company should always be 100% free for you.
Survey Say is not only completely free to join, they also guarantee that all the survey companies they set you up with will be free to join as well. They promise that you will not only never pay a fee, you also never be asked to buy any products in order to take part in their market research.
Also, SurveySay.com is very clear about explaining to their participants that taking online surveys is not a way to “get rich.” Instead, it’s simply an opportunity to make some extra money each month. Few companies, even honest, legitimate companies, actually say this on their homepage, even though everyone who is familiar with the paid survey industry already knows this to be true.
Finally, Survey Say also makes a point of telling their members to sign up with as many survey companies as possible, because no one single company will be able to provide you with enough surveys to be worth your time an effort. Therefore, working with multiple companies is really the best way to make money taking surveys.
As for the mystery shipping companies, in my opinion they are all scams.
They cannot charge anything against your phone number. ALL of the survey sites are going to ask for your real name, an address, and email, and a phone number. I have been a member of several sites for several years. It is funny people are so stupid and want to be paid but do not want to give a real name to the payer. How do you expect to get paid? The sites are real. You are not going to get rich and it is not a real job. But you can make a few extra bucks. I have one I am a member of and sometimes I do really good. One month I made $78 but most months I barely make the cash out which is $25. But it is extra money I would not have otherwise.
Thank you for your interest in participating in our surveys. Unfortunately we are unable to record your participation in this survey due to one or more of the following reasons: 1.You or someone else using the same computer has already participated in this survey.
2.The country under which you are registered does not match the location of the computer you are currently using.
3.Sometimes, if interviews are rushed through they can't be used and you may not be eligible for the survey reward.
4.Our security system detected that someone using this computer engaged in irregular activity.
That's great, I just wasted an hour of my time!
Most of these survey companies are a scam in this way......they ask you to fill out a "qualifying" questionnaire to see if you are eligible for the survey....BUT.....you never are! The information you gave them on the questionnaire WAS the survey. They got all the information they were looking for and never had to pay you a dime.
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!
As the saying goes...
If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck....
