Review & referral bonuses for survey sites – Humaniti, Pureprofile, Octopus, QMEE, Pollpay & more

My experiences with a few sites I like the best for surveys. Roughly in order of preference:

HUMANITI

Typical payment/length: $2.50 for 10 mins Frequency: 1-2 a week.  

Minimum withdrawal: $20 Maximum withdrawal: No limit  

Payment options: Bank deposit only Payment time: Up to 30 days

Notifications when surveys available: Email and app App/Web: Web portal is good. App is a bit ugly but works.

Disqualify reward: 15 cents Notes: It is also a budgeting app which prompts you to connect bank accounts. I have an infrequently used account connected (my day to day bank isn’t supported) and I still get surveys. I think this aspect of the app will be more functional when Open Banking is further along – at the moment it seems more of a survey app.

  Notes I like them the most as they pay among the highest, including for disqualifying, and they don't conflict with any other sites I use. Recently they have had some easy podcast and radio surveys that are quite fun

My referral link / code: https://www.humaniti.com/referral?name=ediellipsis&signupCode=9DJVP6 or enter 9DJVP6 in app Reward $5 for referee (must complete first survey to receive) $10 for referrer

 

OCTOPUS SURVEYS

Typical payment/length: $1.40 for 5 mins; $2.80 for 10 mins. Frequency: I get offered an average of 2-4 per week, but often at least one is a pureprofile survey I get disqualified from for already having completed.

Minimum withdrawal: $20 Maximum withdrawal: $100 per day for gift cards. No limit stated for cash. Giftcards get a 4% discount

  Payment options: Bank account deposit, giftpay egift vouchers (can swap for Woolies, Coles, etc) Payment time: Requests by Saturday midnight processed the following Monday.

Notifications when surveys available: Email, and app notification.

App/Web: Web is good. App is fine, mostly just opens up a link in a browser.

Disqualify reward: Typically 5 cents, can vary.

Notes: Claim “ highest survey cash rate in Australia” although Humaniti pay pretty close for surveys and pay better for disqualifying. They also send a newsletter once a month and pay you to read it, which is nice. My referral code: https://my.octopusgroup.com.au/register/2ba2ebcc-8f2a-44b1-8877-fc73debc1e05 Reward Referee – $1.12 welcome survey – must complete to receive reward.

Referrer – $1 per new person that registers and $1 for first 19 successful surveys

 

QMEE

Typical payment / length: Very variable from awful to decent – between 40 cents – $3.00 for 10 minutes. I think they are a middleman to other survey sites, and it depends based on where the survey originates from.

Frequency: If I open the app there is always something there, but not always something decent. I get maybe a few good ones a day.

Minimum withdrawal: $1, which is great. Maximum withdrawal: No maximum  

Payment options: Paypal only – app says gift card are an option but if I click it nothing happens Payment time: Very quick, within a few minutes  

Notifications when surveys available: It sends one or two a day for ‘hot surveys’ – the best match to your profile. App: App is fine.

Disqualify reward: Nothing predictable. About once a fortnight I disqualify then get a pop up ‘sorry things don't work out sometimes, here is a 50 cent bonus for your recent attempts’.

Notes: There is one trivia question a day with a 3 cent reward for a correct answer. If you participate daily it increases your payments by 10%. They also have gaming offers – rewards for downloading an app and getting to a certain level – I have done a couple of the higher paying ones, they do work but you either have to be prepared to play a game daily for a month, or spend cash in game to meet the criteria to get a reward. Sometimes you can find good guides on reddit how to do it most efficiently. It can br a good way to turn a balance from google opinion rewards surveys into actual cash.

My referral link: http://qm.ee/473BS6RKFHVYC Reward 50 cents for referree, 50 cents for referrer

 

PUREPROFILE

Typical payment/length: $1.60 for 10 mins; $2.40 for 15 mins.

Frequency: I get offered 5-10 per day, though lately I qualify for only 1 or 2. I feel like they have really become quite competitive lately. I am getting ‘quota full’ a lot, or being disqualified. I am also noticing they now have lower paid ‘partner’ surveys on offer if you scroll down to the bottom of the app, so they are becoming a bit like QMEE and Poll Pay

Minimum withdrawal: Minimum $20.

Maximum withdrawal: No maximum

Payment options: Bank account deposit, prezzee egift vouchers (can swap for Woolworths, Coles etc ) Payment time: Gift Cards are immediate. Bank transactions take 20 – 30 days

App/Web: Both app and web portal very user friendly, probably the most usable of the lot.

Notifications when surveys available?: 1 email per day with a list of surveys. App doesn’t have notifications

Disqualify reward: 10 cents. Notes: Can also choose to receive entries into competitions, I don’t bother so can’t speak for that.

Notes They recently changed from limiting cashout to $60 every 2 months, to unlimited, and I think it has made the app a lot more competitive.

My referral link: http://referral.pureprofile.com/referrer/Tnpnd05UVXpORGs0OCMyMw== Reward $2 for referrer and a bonus if they meet minimum activity in 3 months).

 

POLL PAY

Typical surveys: Another one that is variable / a middleman type site . $1.00 – $2.50 for 10 mins on average; Frequency: Whenever I open the app there are 5 – 10 there, but typically i get disqualified from most of them or a couple or too low paying for me to bother attempting.

Minimum withdrawal: $15. You have to wait 10 days to make your first withdrawal, no minimum time after that. Maximum withdrawal: No limit for frequency of withdrawal, but do take a 50 cent fee for withdrawing.

Payment options: Paypal only Payment time: Within 24 hours Notifications when surveys available: Not for every survey, but app does 1 notification a day App:/Web It is mainly app based, the web portal has fewer surveys and they make you download the app to join. The app works fine.

Disqualify reward: 2 cents Notes: Best paying surveys for me have been watching an ad or a movie trailer with my face/reaction recorded by selfie cam. They show up with a little webcam icon. Quick, pays well, but you have to be comfortable with that .

My referral code: When joining enter code SSDMDEV8RX in app https://pollpay.app/ Reward Referee – starting bonus of AU$0.36 Referrer – Bonus of 15%

 

OTHERS

Have tried Attapoll based on a few posts in this sub but seems very similar to QMEE and Pollpay in that it is very variable – a big range of surveys from different sources with pay rates from very bad to average, except I feel like on balance it is much rarer they have a well-paying one, so I don’t really check it anymore. I tried Swagbucks as well and came to the same conclusion.

Also tried MyOpinions and had the same experience many other people report in reviews, my account was banned just as I reached the $10 payment threshold (and I don’t think I broke any rules), so do not recommend being tempted to try them.
