What a waste of TIME

Yes I have taken many more surveys and my total earnings have been adding up.I recently took a survey with Greenfield, whose tag line is the number one Paid Survey Company, and again I did not qualify. Others that I am in contact with have not made a single dollar taking surveys. I have notice an increase in my Postal Junk Mail in the time that we have been taking surveys. Your opinion counts.... NOT... it is the information that you are giving up that counts. These companies are just getting more info about you. So stop taking these survey or if you are thinking about taking surveys, let me save you time and money. Do Not Pay to take surveys, Do Not Waste time with Surveys.

Surveys are Just Scams

Here is some correspondences with the number one Paid Survey Company: Please read from bottom up... it is a real laugh

Patient? When I got involve with this I was informed that a person could actually make money from taking these surveys. That statement may be true in the narrowest of meanings. The only persons making money here is your company selling my input along with the other fools that attempt to try this. I have ask multiple time for information and proof that this is not just a lame scam, and all I ever get back is some lame form letter. I would bet all the money I have made taking surveys (oh wait I haven't made any) that no one ever makes money. Just the people that sell How To Make Money Taking Survey Information Products. Patience is a virtue that is only reserved for those that are worthy.

Actual communication about Surveys

Dear Joseeph,

Thanks for writing to us at Greenfield Online Panel Support.

I am sorry for the inconvenience which you had to encounter while taking our survey.

If you receive a “Do not qualify” message while participating in the survey, it means that the answer which you provided us was not meeting the survey requirements. I would like to share that normally; our clients require a certain number of responses from one or several groups defined by specific characteristics.

Also, the companies for whom we carry out these surveys have a certain profile in mind for the panelist who will take their survey. Sometimes it may be that they are looking for a younger age group – they might be interested in researching their views on, say, children’s cartoon channel or food products that are targeted at a particular age grouping. Equally, there may be times when the age group stipulated may exclude all but our more senior panel members. This really does vary from survey to survey, but in general you will find that our surveys are open to members of all ages.

Although your profile didn't fit this particular study, we have surveys for many different types of profiles, so we will soon have one which is right for you. Thanks for your time and understanding into the matter.

We really appreciate your membership and continued interest in Greenfield Online surveys.

Best regards,

Victor James

Another survey that offers cash and I don't qualify for it. How can it be that I NEVER qualify for ANY of These? So your scam continues.Over a year and not once do I get to finish a paid survey.

Communication with The #1 paid Survey Company

Thank you for you non response, As I have been taking surveys with The Number ONE paid survey company for over a year I have not gotten paid anything. We as in we have been taking your surveys and following the rule and have been truthful. We are a small group of people that have signed up and played by your rules, always truthful and have seen the same results of NO Income, No prizes, not one real tangible result.
We will be pursuing this. Greenfield promotes itself as the number 1 PAID survey company, and with our research there is no proof to this claim. We do ask you to show any proof that you have, and we will report to the facts.

Dear Joseeph,



Thank you for writing to Greenfield Online Panel Support. From you e-mail I could understand that you wish to receive cash incentive for participating in our surveys however you do not qualify.



I appreciate your interest and am glad to share with you that depending on the project you could be paid in several ways: we credit your prize account, offer gift certificates, and even provide merchandise. Some projects offer a chance in a sweepstakes drawing, others a guaranteed incentive to all participants and still others offer a cash incentive to the first group of qualified participants who complete the survey.



I would like to bring to your notice that as of now, we do not have any provision where our panelists could receive only those surveys that pay cash therefore you would receive all kind of surveys. As you are always notified of the incentive at the beginning of a project therefore I request you to please take the surveys of your interest and disregard the others. Please go to www.greenfieldonline.com and click “Paid surveys resource” to gain more knowledge about paid surveys.



I like to share with you that we send surveys to our panelists according to their profile. Therefore, I request you to keep your profile updated with your latest information so that we may send the most approparite surveys to you. Please be rest assured that you will have many more opportunities to participate in our upcoming surveys and get rewarded for your efforts and the precious time you share with us. If there is anything else we could do for you, please feel free to contact us. We would be more than happy to assist you.



We appreciate your membership!



Best regards,

More Progress on Survey Scams

I have taken more than two dozen surveys, just in the last month, online and have some friends doing the same, we are following the rules and we are being honest. Greenfield claims to be the #1 Paid Survey Company and now after more than 13 months and countless surveys the total income including all prizes awarded has come to a grand total... DRUM ROLL PLEASE....$0.00, Yes you read that right zero, nada, zip, zilch These companies are making money with the information that you provide, with the promise that a person could make money doing surveys. To this point we have not seen any evidence of this.

So stop wasting your time, or make it up so the data they collect is worthless.
Try it for yourself, if you get different results we would like to see it.

The bigger scam is the people selling their ebooks or systems to make money online taking surveys... don't pay them. If you want to make money with paid surveys then sell your own "How to Make Money Taking Surveys Deal"

We have been testing this often.

Everyday I waste some time so you don't have too. These surveys are of value to the companies that sell the data. But there is no real rewards for you. They may offer anywhere from an entry into a sweepstakes, a sweepstakes that you can't check the results anywhere. Other surveys have offered $2 all the way up to $75. After more than a year of testing we are yet to qualify for any cash rewards. Little does the survey companies know that we have multiple accounts, all getting the same results.

This is a scam and waste of time

After more than a year checking this out there has been NO REWARDS whats so ever. So don't bother. I have posted all the info so called promises from some companies, as I have taken surveys with many main stream companies an have received nothing in return,. SO DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. The data they collect is valuable to them why not to you?

How do I get paid for taking a survey?

Get paid for taking a survey with Greenfield Online – it is easy! To view the rewards associated with your survey participation you will need to access the Rewards Center page. After logging into the website, just click on the Rewards Center tab on the top of the page. Please note that there is normally a delay after taking a survey before the cash reward appears in your account. That is because cash rewards can only be credited once the entire study has closed and no new participants are entering, which sometimes takes several weeks. However, the prize draw entry you receive for every survey you take will be credited immediately. You can request the earnings in your member account by going to Rewards Center and clicking on the "Request a payment" link. After you request a payment, a check will be sent to the postal address details you have given us in your profile. We suggest that you double-check these details before making the payment request. The entire check processing cycle normally takes 6-8 weeks from the time that the request is made. You can check the status of your payment request on your Rewards Center page. Your payment request should appear there with one of the following status codes: Received - This means that the request has been entered in our database. Processing - A check number has been issued for your request, and final authorization is pending. Processed - Your check has been released for mailing. You should receive it within a couple of weeks after this status message appears. Greenfield Online makes it a priority for all members to get paid their rewards for taking online surveys.

Do free paid surveys exist?

Free paid surveys do exist! Greenfield Online has always been a free paid survey community. We at Greenfield Online will never ask you for money or try to sell you anything, as we are only interested in your opinions and thoughts. There are several reasons why you should never pay to take part in paid online surveys. Market research companies as a whole are prohibited from charging people to participate in surveys. Any research company or organization that requires payment from you to participate in a survey should be avoided. Sites similar to Greenfield Online often charge a membership fee that will gain you access to their database of paid surveys. Greenfield Online has made that process seamless for our member’s with their own personal SurveyCenter. In the SurveyCenter you will be presented all survey opportunities that match your profile information and the reward associated for completing that survey. There should NEVER be a reason to pay for a list of surveys when Greenfield Online provides access to a personal list of paid surveys for you at any time!
