Pros and Cons review & referral bonuses for survey sites – Pureprofile, Octopus, QMEE, Pollpay, Survey Village & more (self.beermoneyAus)

Here’s what /u/ediellipsis has to say about it:

My experiences with a few sites I like the best for surveys. I update details of my experiences as they change, every month or so. Roughly in order of preference:

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 and process faster which is nice

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

Notifications when surveys available: Email, and app notification.

App/Web: Web is good. App is fine, but just opens up a link in a browser so you're always doing it in a browser. They updated the app recently but it is basically the same as before.

Disqualify reward: Typically 10 cents, can vary.

Notes: Claim “ highest survey cash rate in Australia” although Humaniti pay very 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. Their support team are really quick to respond to emails, which is also good compared to some other sites (pureprofile tickets take forever)

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

 

PUREPROFILE

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

Frequency: I get offered 5-10 per day, though mostly I qualify for only 2 or 3. They have become quite competitive in the last year. They also introduced lower paid ‘partner’ surveys if you scroll down to the bottom of the app (e.g. $1 for 10 minutes), so they may be becoming a bit like QMEE and Poll Pay with variable payrates. The partner ones are always at the very bottom, and they have a little C in the survey number.

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 deposits take 20 – 30 days – they are serious, it does take that long.

App/Web: Both app and web portal very user friendly, probably the best app of the lot, it just looks really good on mobile, very easy to read and use on the bus.

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 Last year they 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).

 

SURVEY VILLAGE  

Typical payment/length: $0.30 for 30 seconds, $1.92 for 12 mins; $75 for 60 minutes Frequency: I get offered an average of 3 surveys per week, and occasionally they lead to 1 – 2 hours focus groups / online forums paying more like $80 – $150

Minimum withdrawal: $20 Maximum withdrawal: Not stated

  Payment options: eFlexi gift vouchers (can swap for Woolies, Coles, etc) Payment time: Giftcards instant

Notifications when surveys available: Email

App/Web: Web

Disqualify reward: 5 cents

Notes: Joined last year from a link in someone’s post and it has been pretty good. Not many surveys, but when they do come they are always decently paying, and the real value is online focus groups which have been easy and paid promptly. My referral code: https://surveyvillage.com.au/#refer?refid=5ef42a22-2967-4a71-a9cd-e92c4e19e3e2 Reward 50% per survey for referrer, up to $20.

 

QMEE  

Typical payment / length: Very variable from awful to great – 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 2 good ones a day.

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

Payment options: Paypal only – app says gift cards 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. Do it daily and increases your payments by 10%. They also have gaming offers – payment 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 – the mafia games have been paying up to $100, best to use a guide to do it. For android users it can be a fun way to turn google opinion rewards balance into actual cash.

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

 

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 2 of them, i successfully do 2, and the rest are 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 to try and encourage you to build up bigger balances.

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. These show up with a little webcam icon. Quick, pay 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 I have enjoyed my experience with Humaniti, and posted about them in the past but in early May they sent out an email saying they’re closed to new members for a while, which is a pity, but nice for existing members I guess to make sure its not too competitive to get surveys.

I joined Purkle in November 22, after reading some people having good experiences. I’ve only had a $1 welcome survey, they’ve sent 0 since that, still. I even went back in and made sure my profile was all up to date. I guess I am really not the demographic they are looking for.   Last year I tried Attapoll based on posts in this sub that recommended it 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 very bad to average, except I feel like on balance it is so rare they have a decent-paying one, I don’t really check it anymore. I tried Swagbucks around the same time and came to the same conclusion. Some are just a joke, like it will say 17 cents for 10 minutes.

 

More than a year ago I tried MyOpinions and had a bad experience, my account was banned just as I reached the $10 payment threshold and I never saw any money (and I don’t think I broke any rules). Other people recently posted good experiences with them though so your mileage may vary
