Survey site review – EPoll

by

EPoll Surveys – https://www.epollsurveys.com/

I have been a member of EPoll for a year now and have cashed out with them five times. Surveys focus on celebrities, TV shows and Movies. Surveys are always fun and you have a chance to give your opinions on who you like and don’t like.

I have done a couple of surveys through this site that you will watch a tv show that is not on the air and be able to give your honest opinion about if it should be one the air. Those are my favorite surveys to do.

Pros

Interesting entertainment surveys

Cash out in gift cards or paypal

Sends a lot of survey invites

 

Cons

Takes a long time to receive payout, I’ve waited a month for paypal and three weeks for amazon.

 

 

4.5 out of 5

GlobalTestMarkets & Lifepoints Review

by

I’ve been falling off reviewing so today I am reviewing the survey site GlobalTestMarkets and Their app LifePoints.

 

Survey site: https://www.globaltestmarket.com/

Global test market is a survey site that I have been using for about a year and in that time I have been paid by them three times. You need 4000 lifepoints to cash out but if you are using both the site and their LifePoints app you can get to the 4000 really fast.

Pros;

Pay within a week of cashing out

Surveys are interesting

Have a lot of different ways to cash out, including physical gifts (toys and such)

 

LifePoints app: http://lifepointsapp.com/

LifePoints is globaltestmarkets app.

Pros;

Both the site and the app share points

The app has some fun surveys

You can cash out directly from the app

 

I recommend both.

 

Check Scam

by

 

 

This is the letter and check I received in the mail two weeks ago, I checked everything out…did research online as I can’t afford to have my bank account negative anything. The company is a scam, they have gotten a lot of people out of a lot of money. Money these people have to pay back to their banks.

The company is passing itself as a legitimate company, I have no idea how they acquired my mailing information…I do surveys for companies and enter sweepstakes..maybe that’s how.

How to protect yourself:

Read this article on survey police , I always check survey police for legitimate survey companies. Their site doesn’t post companies who scam people.

If you do receive a check in the mail for thousands of dollars that you have no idea where it came from, use google and do your research. Your bank may not catch up that it’s a fake check until weeks or months later, then You are the one that has to pay the bank back.

 

 

Survey site review – BeForthright

by

Beforthright – https://www.beforthright.com/

I love this company, unlike other survey companies payment is immediate and they send both emails & text messages when a new survey is available so you can do surveys on the go. Their surveys offer a loyalty credit which you receive whether you qualify or not. Once you get three credits you can cash out for two dollars. They offer partner surveys which you usually don’t get a loyalty credit for those.

Many cash out options to choose from including paypal and amazon.

Pros

Payment is immediate

offers loyalty credits even if you don’t qualify for a survey

Only need an email address, you don’t need to create an account on their site which means no password to remember

Cons

Most of their partner services don’t offer credits

 

This company is one of the ones on my top five.

Survey Naughty List – Survey Consensus

by

A survey site ends up on my naughty list when they haven’t paid me, argued about paying me or haven’t paid me and aren’t responding to my emails. If a survey site is on my naughty list it’s for one or more of the reasons above and you are advised to use these sites with your own risk.

Edit:  I’ve sent an email which came back undelivered and used the contact form via their site five times and haven’t received my money or a reply. I think this site scams people, so don’t waste your time.

Survey Consensus – http://us.surveyconsensus.com/

It has been two weeks since I cashed out with this site and they have not paid me and my emails to support go unanswered. Most of the surveys on their site are broken or if you complete them you don’t get paid. You need 1500 points (equal to 15.00) and complete 3 surveys to cash out.

When they pay me and/or respond to my emails they will be removed from my naughty list. I don’t recommend this site at all.

Smart Panel

by

I am reviewing Smart Panel first for a couple of reasons, the first reason is that when you google Smart Panel you see all these people saying that they don’t pay and I think the reason those people aren’t getting paid is because they aren’t sending the data or they haven’t signed up and put the app on their devices.

So I am going to show you what you need to do before putting the app on your devices.

First you need to go to the website which is https://smartpanel.io/en-US/ and scroll down to where it says You can shape the future in bold white letters and click the button that says I’d like to sign up. Fill out everything they ask you to do on the form and click submit. Use an email that you check often, the same email that you are going to use for surveys.

Once you are signed up, you can log in. Once you are logged in you are going to click on your profile and add your devices. Only add the devices that you have access to and will be able to send data from everyday.

Once you add a device, you can’t remove it but you can replace it. So if you add a computer & two smart phones you will have to send the data from all three to get paid and remain active. If one isn’t sending data but the other two are you will not get paid. If you replace the computer or one of the smartphones, then you have to replace it via the website not the app to continue to get paid.

Once you have added your devices via the website, if you add a computer/laptop they will email you a link to download the app. Same with the smart phone, they will send an email or text you the link. Once the apps are installed on all devices all you have to do is press the button that says sync data, that’s it.

Smart Panel is the easiest app to make five dollars a month, you can not redeem until the app has been active for thirty days but by then you will have ten dollars in your account.

Pros:

Easy five dollars a month

Can leave money on account on the website and just let it build up

Offers Paypal and Amazon gift cards to cash out

Offers surveys once you have been with them awhile and for those you get amazon gift cards

Great customer service

 

Cons:

If one of your devices goes inactive, you will not be paid

 

 

This is a great company and they are getting bad reviews by people who either aren’t signing up for the site or aren’t syncing all devices. I recommend them as the easiest site/app to be paid from. Five dollars a month isn’t a lot of extra money but for doing nothing but syncing devices it’s completely worth it.
