Paid Surveys at Home Reviews – Legit or Scam?
Paid Surveys at Home is a website that promises to connect you with the highest paying market research companies available. For just $68.00 – or $34.00 with their temporary 50% off coupon – you can be connected to over 450 online survey companies, and over 300 additional work at home opportunities.
Paid Surveys at Home says that their members make between $5 and $75 for completing surveys, and up to $150 an hour for participating in focus groups. They also sign their members up for phone surveys, which they claim can pay as much as $120 an hour.
But is www.Paid-Surveys-at-Home.com Legit?
Well, Paid Surveys at Home breaks both rules that most people use to determine whether or not a paid survey company is legit. First, it quotes rarely seen and hard to believe earnings for survey completion. Second, it charges you a fee to get access to the surveys.
Completing paid surveys, or doing online market research in general, is a well documented work at home opportunity. The general rule of thumb is that it does not pay much at all, but it is an easy, stress free way to make some extra money each month.
The earnings that Paid Surveys at Home is quoting are hard to believe. Most well respected market research companies pay $5-$10 for survey completion at their highest end; most surveys pay closer to $1-$2. And considering that these smaller surveys generally take 5 to 10 minutes to complete, that’s not ridiculous.
Also, market research companies are completely free to join. Paid Surveys at Home is charging you because they compiled a list of major survey companies. However, lots of websites have lists of well respected, paid survey companies, that you can have for free. Reviewopedia has one on the Make Money Taking Surveys page. And signing up with each company is free.
Another issue with Paid Surveys at Home that you should be wary of, is their offer of “300 additional work at home opportunities.” This generally means that they are going to give your email address to their partners, who will likely inundate your email box with “special offers” and “once in a lifetime deals.”
If you have already signed up with this company and are unhappy with what you’ve received, Paid Surveys at Home is a Clickbank product, and Clickbank offers a 60 day, no questions asked refund if you are interested.

I just joined, and I haven’t taken the first survey, but I have experienced some of the same problems from taking other surveys. I’ve read enough. I hope Clickbank will not make it difficult to get back my $17.00

I joined a couple of months ago and got two surveys. After I answered the surveys at the end it said I did not qualify for the survey so I will not get paid. Therefore, I got nothing. I have tried to get in touch with them but cannot find them and I have not received any more surveys. So, I got scammed again and lost my money. ARE THERE ARE LEGIT PEOPLE OR JOBS OUT THERE OR ONLY CROOKS????

The reviews are valuable, and all seem to send out the same basic warning. Giving out your credit / debit card number is insane , Everyone should do a simple research. Glad I did today regarding paid surveys at home.
Marilyn G,’s comment sure hit the mark. ” I was turned off by the video because I didn’t like to be compared with a monkey. If monkeys can complete these surveys, then let them!”

I was grateful to read what other people have said before I paid my $68, whoops, I mean $7 to this company. I was turned off by the video because I didn’t like to be compared with a monkey. If monkeys can complete these surveys, then let them!

I think we all have to be very cautious of these on-line companies. I made the mistake of registering with Julie Thompson’s Paid Surveys and I quickly cancelled. Spent a lot of time filling out surveys and once finished a pop-up saying sorry you did not meet criteria. It smells fishy. My information was then passed on to another on-line marketer who got me real good. I am now in the process of contacting the BBB in that state and I cancelled my credit card. These days if we let our guard down it is very easy for these vultures to prey on unsuspecting people, who are just trying to make a living.

One more thing I have noticed on their site is that when you are on the payment page and want to close your browser window, a message pops-up trying to convince you to join by deducting an aditional 50% from the $34.00 this is a so called “friends and family offer”. If you clicked cancel on this pop-up, a page with the new price of $17.00 will be displayed and if you try to close this window “surprise” another pop-up appears with the same intention as the previous one but this time the price is even less, only $7.00 !!!! How can this be ?!?!? It’s like an online turkish bazaar :)))) They oviously are really desperate to get your money and this makes it very hard to believe that they are legit.
