I sent my longtime friend of 11 years some money to help him out, from Texas to Morocco. My friend suggested this site. It took less than 30 mins for the transfer to go through. He also received the money with no problems. I enjoyed the waive of the fee for being a first-time customer.
I was under the impression that the fees were less than Western Union, but I looked it up online and Western Union is actually cheaper. But either way, the fee for future transactions didn't look bad.
I may use Remitly again.

My favorite survey site. They are owned by Nielsen Holdings. I have been with them since Sept. 2019. You get 300 points=$3 for each survey, which usually is about 10-20 mins long. The other survey sites I do range from 10-45+ minute surveys for 25 cents -$1.50. There have been a few times that I have been chosen to test products and leave my review on them; I enjoy that. They offer many rewards to choose from. On the gift cards, not only do they offer virtual but physical as well. Though I have only done the cash option, the physical card is quite convenient if I were to give the gift card as a gift.
They used to use PayPal, but now they use another company that transfers it to your bank account, you can also get a virtual card. I have cashed out many times and have had no problems with receiving my payments.
You can find out how to join from their FAQ
As of right now they do not do referrals or recruit new members through their website. They post recruitment opportunities through banner ads on various unsolicited websites from time to time throughout the year. If you see one, sign up.
I honestly don't remember doing that, but I am a member, so somehow, I got here.

I am changing my review from "not that bad" to "bad." Sometime around March of 2021, my account was deleted without my knowledge. When I contacted them, I was told that I was the one who deleted it and I would have to make a new account if I wanted to continue with them. I'm positive that I'm not the one who deleted my account. So, I decided not to rejoin them. A few months later I received an email stating that they made an update that deleted many peoples accounts. I was told that I would have to re-make my account and they would add my previous points. So, I gave them a chance and rejoined, but I didn't receive my points. I had to contact them again before they returned my points. After that, it was just a huge mess, and nothing worked right. I decided it was not worth it and left them.
Before this mess, I was with them for a little over two years and had no problems with them, including payments.

Not a scam but not that great

Seeing others say this is a scam confuses me. I don't even know where they are getting offers for magazines. I have only seen 3 options for rewards (picture included) the whole 2 years I have been with them. Though I have not done a survey since March of this year (2020) and only cashed out one time, I was not scammed. They sent me my Amazon gift card promptly with no strings attached. I will say, I do hardly ever qualify for a survey and in my opinion it takes a lot of points just to get a $5 Amazon gift card. I hardly ever spend time here doing their surveys, otherwise I am sure I would have had more points to be able to cash out more than once. I have too many other survey sites that I do, that I can get actual cash with fewer points.

Huge waste of time. Not only are their surveys so much longer than they say they are, they don't credit you for them. I spent well over 45 mins on a survey in April of this year and the survey told me, "thank you, almost done" and when I finished I got a message saying I didn't qualify for the survey. I messaged them telling them my situation and they sent an automated message saying they will review my request and I never heard back from them. This happened more than once, but with less time spent on the survey. On top of that, I received well over 50 emails a day to do their surveys. I tried to cancel and they wanted me to write to them via post mail, so instead I just blocked them.

I have been doing surveys with them for a little over a year I think, and have cashed out 3 times.
Pros-They pay you, the pay per survey is very nice compared to most survey sites, you don't have to hook up with 3rd party crap, you don't receive junk emails, and you get incentives for referrals.
Cons-They don't have a dashboard so you have to keep track of your own surveys, they pay you by check and it seems the check takes a long time to get to me. Getting paid by check is a pretty big inconvenience for me, especially during this Covid time, my bank is still not open on the inside and the drive thru is a huge mess. I have only had one problem with them; I was not credited for all the surveys I had done. I emailed them, gave them the survey numbers and they promptly corrected it. Some might find it not exciting because they only offer cash as a reward, but I personally like that. I plan on staying for awhile.

Verified purchase

I had read so many good and bad reviews about this product. I didn't have any problems with shipping; I received them in about a week and had confirmation emails. I have severe allergies and asthma, I have not noticed a change in my breathing or less sneezing. My daughter whom also has asthma says she has noticed a difference; she says it smell better in the house and less icky air. I have had them for 1 week and 2 days and placed one in my living room, daughters room and bathroom.
Being that my daughter noticed a difference, I can't really say it was a waste of money.

Tip for consumers:
Estimated tax & fees is not the total tax & fees. If you think you might want to send the product back, keep all the packaging, as you are required to send it back in it.

I really don't see how there are so many great reviews for this site. I get nothing but junk email and spam calls constantly since I have joined this site. I read a con and pro review about the site and what it takes to receive the box. It states that I have to have a FB in order to qualify for a free goodie box, and since I don't have one I guess I will never get a box. Terms of service doesn't' tell me this, if it had, I would have never signed up. Majority of the links DGB gives me through my messages comes out as dangerous links (pic included). This site has taken me in big circles and never gets anywhere. A lot of their 3rd party offers for free stuff includes a small fee for shipping and handling, and some contain a trial in order to get their free products. I ain't gonna remember to cancel from all these people within a month. Just not worth it for a free box of stuff.

I started 5 survey sites, including this one about 7 months ago. I rarely qualify for a survey; I just now made my first $10. Meanwhile, I have cashed out over 5 times on other survey sites. I will probably let this one go.
They have a nice small selection to choose from your points, cash, Amazon, iTunes and things suchlike things.

I am not sure why so many are having problems with payouts. I have been a member since 2009 and have received several payments and on time. I don't qualify for as many surveys as I would hope to, but I have stuck with them because I know they will pay out, and they don't have offers that you have to sign up with, that carry tons of spam junk mail like many other survey sites do.

June 2021 I am changing my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. I first signed up when it was still Ebates in 2018, and at first they were great, I was receiving cash back from every store I bought from through their links, even when the product I bought was not a recommend one. But then mid last year every time I went through their site to buy something they had always said, "looks like you didn't purchase anything." So I stopped using them. I have been to many other rebate sites and they basically all suck, I have to buy what they want me to buy in order to get cash back. When Rakuten was good I had received several payments; minus the bonus for signing up. I am probably gonna give them a few more chances, and if things don't change, I will cancel my membership

Updating review. I have been with I.D. for a little over a month & have made $17. Because I qualify for more surveys here, I make more money than I do with other survey sites. I am sure I would have made more if I didn't have 5 other survey sites I have to try to visit while I am online. I don't get online everyday. There are a few pros and lots of cons to this site. We all know that taking surveys can be tedious, and this site has options to play some of their cheesy games for a few cents here and there. The games give me a break from the tedious surveys and I enjoy them. They also give money for using coupons through them. It is not a lot by any means, but what other survey site does that? Cents add up; don't you ever pick up pennies off of the ground? The cons on this site are signing up for supposedly free offers, it can lead to spam junk mail if you don't read the terms. I do not like spam junk mail. Nothing is actually "free" from any of the offers, minus some other survey sites. I cannot complete the bonus because I don't have FB. One big thing that concerns me is when I leave the tab for I.D. idling it creates a virus pop up window and that I do not like. I searched online to see if anyone else is experiencing that, but could not find anything. So if the virus thing happens again, I will block and unsubscribe from them.

I have been a member for over 10 years and purchased numerous items. Not only are most items more expensive then finding it elsewhere online, most are cheaply made. I have been disappointed in many items, though there are many that I like. Myself I have only won a $10 Amazon gift card, but you know we have to keep in mind millions of people are playing numerous times a day. I myself don't have the time to sit on the computer all day. Those who think purchasing will make you one step closer to winning can't read.
I enjoy the games when I have a chance to play. It's free and you take the same chance when you spend money on lotto cards, so why complain?
