Your-Surveys.com is the online home of the Your Surveys, a company that says they want to help people get paid for giving their opinions to market research companies in the United States.
Market research is one of the oldest and most popular ways of making money online, because people are just asked basic questions about the products and services they already know and use and simply give their opinion.
Though participating in online market research isn’t extremely profitable, it has long been known to be an easy to earn extra money each month from the comfort of your own home.
Your Surveys Requirements
This website does say that their members must be at least 18 years old to join, although they will allow children as young as 13 to young as long as they have their parents’ permission.
The website claims that will need proof of age and of parents’ permission before accounts will be verified and customers will be eligible to cash out their earnings from this company.
Your Surveys promises that your profile will be saved so that their members will not repeatedly be asked the same questions regarding their age, professional, and demographics, as well as promising that all their information will always be kept secret and never sold to third parties.
The Concerns
Unfortunately Your Surveys appears to be so new at this time that there simply are not any customer reviews available to help prospective members evaluate this company and determine whether or not they would like to join.
That being said, it almost doesn’t matter that there aren’t any reviews, because there also doesn’t actually appear to be any way to join this company as a new member. Their website provides no information whatsoever on how people become a part of Your Surveys.
It is not uncommon for some market research companies to only offer membership to new people who have been personally invited by current members, and this may be what this company is doing at this time, but their website provides no information.
If you are someone who has been invited to join this company, it is important that you make sure the company is not requesting any fees or payments from their members before you sign up, and that their minimum required payout is actually a reasonable amount of money that members will be able to earn, otherwise you should avoid this company all together.

this is a complete waste of time , they have a point system,, if you complete one survey , you get one point,, but then, their trick is,, they reject many of your surveys, by falsely accusing you of speeding, or not reading the questions correctly, and then,, deduct from your points minus 20 points.. so they can wipe out your points in 10 mins.. I have recorded myself completing a 10 min survey, by doing it in 20 mins, and yet,, still got it rejected with the false allegation of speeding.. they did admit after one month of me complaining, that they had a error with their software,, but then refused to admit that it cost me my reward money .. one week later my surveys are being rejected again, 50 points in one hour,, and again, they are blaming me for cheating.. I have had numerous members on fb also complaining,, but seems the people who check the surveys,will not admit they do not know what they are doing. They do not have the brains or common sense to even realise,, we see and complete the same surveys, many times, even on the same day.. so they think each time we need to read the same questions, when in fact we know what the questions are before they even appear..they are so eager to steal your points and get you closed down, I do not even know why they bother to send surveys out for. I have done the same survey 6 times in one day,, and yet,, 2 were rejected, despite me taking the same time and giving the same answers. again, showing they have no idea and no consistency to their checks... do not waste your time with this company .. you will spend hours completing surveys, just for them to falsely accuse you of cheating and take away your rewards..
Keep in mind, however, I was getting points on a rewards site for doing their surveys, and not actual cash. I just traded in the points for prizes. Still, though, I think it's pretty good.
because f this I had issues with other panels, too, but now it's sorted this is the only one who won't reinstate me. They want me to send a copy of a photo ID and a bill. Why? To vefity my account they said, but I don't have an account with them, so what are they checking that info against?

For your own sanity, avoid this bunch of crooks at all costs. There are many, many better panels out there. It's just a shame that some use this Mickey Mouse outfit.
After many messages, I was told to provide several confidential and private documents to verify my account. I don't have an account with the because I am directed there via my usual panel.

So I raised the issue on the 4yo ticket and they simply closed it with comment.
The only good thing about the scoring system is even if you have done poorly on surveys and were rejected, on a given day, in three months from the time it was issued, they lapse and those points are restored, provided no others expire at the same time and you have done enough surveys properly, in the interim, to buffer that. This doesn't mean to skim and lie on the surveys and figure things will work out, again, because YS can ban you for that, regardless of what your score is. That is my understanding, anyway.
Advertisers for the surveys hold the reigns as to what you get and what they wish to reject. You may have told them the packaging to their orange soft-drink brand looks like a kindergartner scribbled all over it and that you prefer something more sophisticated, they can - at will - nuke your survey and you will lose both your quality score and cash out points.
Your-survey should ensure that people have a good opportunity to earn well, but they don't. They should also consider nuking sample-cube for the endless redirects. Alas, they won't.
I have experienced plenty of broken surveys (that I open up are broken or at the end of a very long survey), surveys that take up my opportunities that disqualify at the end or lead me to community recruits from a particular survey company (IPSOS) that never redirect or credit me on you-surveys or from them on my panel, (Qualtrics)shorter surveys that redirect to irrelevant surveys without crediting or letting me know IN ADVANCE that I am doing a twofer. Many of the surveys are poorly designed/written, the survey companies (advertisers) cheat members, as well.
Another issue is that I receive opportunities full of junk surveys that are for 27 cents that require 20+ minutes of completion, when in no way, this should ever happen in the survey world, as far as I have researched. Not to mention the errors at the end with CINT and CONFIRMIT surveys.
Recently I received an 8 point survey for 20+ minutes, after which I complained and one of the answers I received that survey reward amounts are determine on length of the survey, so how the heck do they justify offering me, a fairly good survey taker, a piece of junk that low that takes 20+ minutes to complete?
They're giving away 600+ point surveys, but just to a few people.
