“It not bad!”

They give you surveys and pay into your paypal immediately. I mean within 20 mins! So that's pretty impressive. It would be nice if they paid more than a dollar per survey. But no payment threshold! That's incentive in itself.

“Fraud (Scam) Company - "Payment failed".”

Sigge K.
4/23/22

After spending 15 minutes completing a survey, I received a message saying that my payment failed and that my account did not meet their terms of service (?). Nothing more, just that. Never seen anything like this before, but it is pretty clear that this company never actually pays people (even though I says $1 per survey). Stay away!

Don't waste your time. I spent 30 minutes of my life answering questions and kept getting an ineligible message and redirected. It kept saying try another one. Total waste of time and brain cells and now someone has some of my information and god only knows what they'll do with it. If I could rate this 0 I would... Shame on your site!

It is always spamming me with emails survey notification, but none of them work. They always say I didnt qualify for the survey. Most times they kick me out before I even start. Sometimes in the middle of it after wasting my time, like 15-20 minutes into it they decide im not qualified for the survey. It's frustrating and a waste of time.

You will always go through preliminary questions asking for substantial personal information for quite a few minutes and then at the end it will inform you that they don't have survey for you. I went through it for a couple of times, the third time it happened it made me realized this is a scam. The preliminary questions were already surveys they want to know about you and they're getting it for free.

Yes they pay you immediately upon completion of survey BUT well i will let you decide.
I would receive an email notification of a survey available. When I go to click on take a survey I am led to more than 10 times loop of rejection without any positive outcome... meaning no surveys are available for me.
I would receive more than such emails without any outcomes
In a week of 7 days I might receive 1
SURVEYTIME YES OR NO?

I am extremely disappointed with this…
I am extremely disappointed with this site I have been booted out of my last 4 surveys when I have got so far in. I just completed a survey got all the way to 100% and then I got a message saying "The URL you have used has been altered. We cannot redirect you at this time." I spent time and effort completing this survey got 100% and will now not get paid for it. This is sooooo frustrating. NOT FAIR!

There's no way to write to this company if anything goes wrong, they consistently send you emails that say $1.00 for so many minutes... say 4, you try it, the survey will say closed, not a match whatever, then redirects back, and says take another one, which is always longer. Another, the worst, is when you complete a survey, spend your time, which is just as valuable as everyone else's, get to the end, and it gives you some jibber-jabber, and asks you to take another, without crediting/paying you, or anything. Unfair, and unlawful "business" practices... untrustworthy! Should be closed down!

Tip for consumers:
Untrustworthy!!!!!

Surveys have started going but I am not getting paid.
Previously a very good site that paid immediately. It has not been valid for several months now.

Surveytime seems like a no-brainer if you're just trying to bank a little bit of extra bitcoin in your down time. But once you go through the exhaustive process of signing up (including giving them a lot of personal demographic info about yourself) you will likely find that the payout of a dollar isn't worth the time it takes to have the privilege of taking the survey. Because these are intended for targeted marketing purposes, Surveytime tried to make sure that you are the right demographic fit and you can easily spend 15-20 minutes of answering questions unrelated to the actual survey only to find out that you are not the target demographic and you get kicked out to the "Take another survey" screen. That means you just wasted 15 minutes answering questions and never even got to the real, paying survey. To top it all off, Surveytime doesn't even acknowledge the time you did put it. I think I've completed just 1 20 minute survey out of about 30-35 attempts. There's even a few surveys that I was allowed to start, only to be kicked out of it later. One was about car brand perception and purchasing. I got about 10 minutes into the 30 minute IPSOS survey and then was kicked out with no explanation when all I did was say that my next car purchase would replace a car I already owned (seems like a really benign reason to kick someone out). And this happened after I spent 10 minutes "qualifying" for the survey.
Be prepared to have your email inbox spammed. I call it "spammed" because I don't know another word for a website that emails you (it seems like) almost hourly, and then wastes you time by not letting you into any of the surveys that it says they just matched to your profile.

So now for the good: The one time I did get to complete a survey, they did pay promptly and, of the dollar they paid,. 96 cents worth of bitcoin was deposited into my Coinbase account. Of course that was after 4 days of trying and hours of time wasted. Hardly seems like a good trade.

For one, most surveys insinuate that you are pre-qualified when you really aren't. I have attempted to take about 40 surveys so far and was only able to get through 2 of them. One I got paid for, great. The other was ridiculously long and arduous and I never got paid. Upon politely complaining about it I received no response (what a shock). Also, the overwhelming majority of surveys sent to your email are notably longer than indicated. I went into this site with a good attitude and was hoping for the best, because as I'm sure you know, the actual sites that beam legitimacy are few and far between. But $1 per survey right away upon completion sounded pretty goo to me. There are just too many shady things on this site to deem it even remotely trustworthy. The #1 being that no one will ever get back to you and it is also very difficult to even find a real way to contact anyone in the first place. There are a nice handful of other sites where time is better spent, if you're looking to make a passive income doing this. With any of them though, time spent for pay is way, way below minimum wage. You can spend 6 hours taking surveys only to wind up with about $5 in the end. Maybe more if you're very lucky. If anyone ever is able to speak to the apparent Grand Poobah ("Tommy") who is evidently more elusive than the President himself, please let us know. I'll end by saying that the hypocrisy of this and many other sites is their relentless pursuit of making you prove you are a real person, yet they hardly reciprocate the same level of realism from their end.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use it. Move on to a better site.

Nothing but liars and scammers they lie about the length of all of their surveys, I just completed one that said 5 minutes and it was 20 minutes.

I managed to qualify for 2 surveys after joining and they did pay. But every survey since has disqualified me. Further, I did opt for English surveys and they keep directing me to French language. Other sites provide better chance of qualifying and completing a survey. I don't recommend wasting your time here.

Repeating the same answers in many surveys and have not been paid for any.

Barely ever has a survey to do. Tried a few but never really got rewards, either. Others say they got rewards immediately, doesn't happen to me.

They send multiple times a day an email with a new survey. Then you are 5 minutes filling in the same data as you already did in the other surveys and then you are not the person they are looking for to take the survey.

The survey said it only takes about 6 minutes, but it literally took 50 minutes. They offered me $0.50.

I love answering the surveys that I receive, and I really do not mind payment of $1.00 per survey as it is noche to receive it automatically. My biggest issue is with the time you put into a survey and then after spending 15-30 minutes, the system will say you completed the survey, then "sorry. You do not qualify". I feel that if a survey has more than 6-8 questions, starting with 9-10 questions, you are atomically paid for the time. By spending all the time to answer so many questions and told you do not qualify, the company/person creating the surveys are getting their answers and not reimbursing them for it. This would make Survey Time look into their people submitting the surveys more closely (regulating their business) and stop the fake submissions.

Even though you complete a survey and the message shows success the survey is shown failed. You do often get a lot of $0.5 surveys but you won't be paid. I've done around 20 surveys and out of 5 are completed well but they haven't paid.
