I used to qualify for some of there surveys, but haven't forever. seems like they automatically disqualify you for any of them anymore.

The sad thing is...a few years ago..this was a great company. Here is a copy of the last few entries of my survey "history" from the site:


8551 B2B Shopping September Study 2008-10-20 10:29:05 1.00
Paid To Date $ 1330.00

Notice the date of the last paid one is in 10/08

After that the bottom dropped out!! Get disqualified from 90% of the surveys and never get credit for the few completes you do manage. I really believe there had to be a change of ownership of the site and with it it went from legitimate market research to a scam site. Too bad...I bought a few nice golf clubs with the $1300 in amazon cash I did get back then. Miss the extra "crazy" money. Just like any other oil well THIS ONE HAS RUN DRY!!!!!

something has changed 2 years ago...they stopped crediting me for completed surveys. You get paid for 1 out of maybe 20 completed surveys. What a scam! they always come up with some stupid excuses that there's probably something wrong with the security settings on my computer... and then they ask to send them links to the completed surveys....Right, now I have to keep track of every completed survey....This is ridiculous!
I am outta here!!! They are a joke!

I can't even get into one of TestSpins surveys. Their support email doesn't work, either.I did take some surveys with them but now, nothing works. I would just like to know if I have any money in my account with them and how much it is.

After several months of taking surveys - and keeping a good paper trail of my own, jic, - I had to contact them because none of my surveys were being credited. None. Not ONE. Guess what? Their email doesn't work. Info@testspin.com rejects email from both members and non-member addresses. So they don't pay, and they don't respond to inquires. For the record, I'm in a great demo & they're still asking me to take numerous surveys daily. They just won't pay me for them! Spam them - this site is a scam.

I am tired of trying to take there stupid surveys and its a shame that when you are almost finished and the tell you that you do not qualify and you have wasted 25 minutes or more for nothing and I really think Id rather deal with My Points and Inbox dollars any day atleast they do pay you for your time and aslo Pinecone research is a good site to they have you take a survey for 3 to 4 dollar sometimes more money and they send you a check in 2 days and there surveys are worth the minutes that you put in you might end up getting a survey and only have to answer 3 questions well to me its better than testspin . All of you check them out youll be glad that you did.

I have been doing surveys and focus groups for over 10 years and testspin is one of the best out there. I do over 15 surveys a week and testspin would rate as the third best right under Valued Opinions and Clear Voice Surveys with ClearVoice surveys being the best.

I've made just over $100 in Amazon gift certificates from Testspin over the past ten months, primarily in $1 and $2 increments. for the record, I'm a 30-year-old female, which makes me part of a useful demographic.

It's enough of a payout to keep me responding to surveys, even though I've experienced many of the problems reported above: numerous "technical errors", overloaded servers, and surveys where I spent five or ten minutes answering questions that go well beyond the usual demographics, only to be disqualified.

Unlike other survey sites (Pinecone, Your2Cents, Harris, MySurvey, etc.), Testspin does a poor job of directing surveys to the appropriate segment of its member base. This results in a greater number of invitations, but an extremely high disqualification percentage; I probably qualify for about the same number of Testspin surveys as I do for the other companies, but the other companies aren't nearly so frustrating to deal with.

If you've got some time to kill and have a high threshold for disqualifications, there is the chance to make a bit of money here.

I have been a member for about 3 1/2 years and I make about 200-300 per year on testspin. I receive about 3 or4 surveys per day and i do not qualify for about 75% of them but the ones I do qualify for they are quick and easy. I will be happier when they finally have paypal as there reward.

I feel so used, lol! I get about 6-7 surveys a day to take. When you click on the link to attempt the survey, it does not work and gives you an error report. Also, qualifying for them means getting to the last question of survey, then told you do not qualify or you get an error report on that too, losing all your info that you just spent 25 minutes on. I e-mailed testspin about this the other day and was told it was not their fault. Well, whose fault is it then, the tooth fairy's? I am sick & tired of people who seem to have no concept of fault or responsibility! Don't fool yourself, it will not get better. Are you really that desperate for $1? No, you don't work for free.

I too, am an elder and have been termed unqualified because of my age. I am neither senile nor stupid. But testspin is not the only guilty one of this. Most every survey that I am disqualified from, and there are many, Is because of my age. I am 72.

Test Spin is terrible! I spend 12 minutes on a survey, and then it says "sorry, you didn't qualify for this survey". I doubt the 12 minutes were demographics questions. Maybe they design it so they can get people to fill out surveys for free. I haven't qualified for ANY survey.

With other survey sites, they only have 2-5 questions about demographics then you go on to the survey.

have a problem with testspin .They offer surveys I sign in with my demographics. I start the survey and get sorry you did not qualify for this survey. I spent time on their site one night trying to take surveys and keep getting the same reply and no rewards What is up with this system.

While I end up not qualifying for good percentage of the surveys they send, I do get in a few every now and again, and it's a nice little bit of extra money. I've probably received $30-$50 in the last year for hardly any work. I rarely have problems with finishing surveys, and I've found it helps to start each survey ASAP, as usually you don't qualify because your age group or other demographic has already been filled.

Like the above, I answer questions, sometimes quite a few, then most of the time get dumped out. If I qualify, like this AM I spent 25-30 minutes doing one that they said would be 15 minutes, & offered $1.00 for then near the end, finally, it quit working, I could go no further, couldn't even log off without going offline altogether. I then tried to contact them, & their contact email doesn't work. Don't waste your time. I'm opting out now. This is after maybe 2 months of fooling myself. They won't accept you for surveys, & then if they do, you won't be able to finish, or it will take forever for $1.00. Waste of time.

WHY EVEN BOTHER...TEST SPIN HAS NEVER GIVEN ME EVEN A CHANCE TO TAKE A SURVEY BECAUSE AS SOON AS I ENTER MY AGE OF 69 THEY ELIMINATE ME FROM QUALIFYING. HOW SAD THAT YOUR AGE DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO A OPINION ABOUT ANYTHING THAT THEY OFFER. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME TRYING TO MAKE A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS.

I have a problem with testspin .They offer surveys I sign in with my demographics etc .then I do ,for instance a bra survey 10 questions about bras ,bras are not demographics .Then I get sorry you did not qualify for this survey. I stopped dealing with them before because of this so I am going to stop accepting their emails again .I have not made any money with testspin not ever. Through my experiences with Testspin I would not refer them to anyone.
