How Earning Station Worked
Complete actions such as taking surveys, signing up for other websites and e-mail lists, clipping coupons, etc. You can easily become a member by using your facebook account, or by filling out a traditional registration form.
- Complete offers – EarningStation has a wide variety of advertisers who offer many types of different offers, available for completion.

I do not recommend this panel for several reasons. Screen out is very high and prone to happen at the end of a survey. This means that they get to keep your work and not pay out. One of their strategies is to claimed that you've already finished the survey before. They also have a very active forfeiture scheme. If you get tired of not being rewarded for surveys, and take too long of a break, they seize your earnings.
Support is on autopilot, if they respond, they use canned replies. There are plenty of decent survey panels that will make it easy to reach a payout threshold. Save yourself the dismay and aggravation of these iniquitous behaviors.

Kris, we apologize if you feel that you have been duped out of your earnings. We wish everyone was able to qualify for every survey, however research companies develop surveys with specific criteria needed to fulfill. Unfortunately, EarningStation has no control over this.As for the issue regarding your earnings being seized, we do forfeit earnings from accounts that have been inactive for 90 days or more, as stated in our Terms of Use. This process is to ensure that we can continue to provide the highest payouts possible to our active members.

I am pretty new to all of this. I retired with all sorts of plans for homesteading [yes, I am old, and everyone says I should know better] Then I broke my leg. Stuck in bed. Bored. Extremely low income. I should be getting around pretty well by Spring, which is when I would like to put in my bee hives [ we need to save the bees, guys!] But they cost money that I do not have because I am laid up in bed and unable to make some money. Until I found online surveys. i am using 4, and that should earn me enough to get everything I need for beekeeping before the spring.
My favorite site is Earning Station. For one, Less Dqs'. Also generally decent payouts, and most important, a 15 minute survey is in fact a 15 minute survey [usually] rather than an hour survey as it is on other sites.

I'm not even sure there is a way to contact E. S. i tried several times to contact them but i have never received a response from them. There's too many errors, some surveys won't load, videos won't play. Do they have a US based phone number?.

We would love if you could give this process another try.November 21, 2017 by kelly from United States
I have been a member for a little while now and like most other people have said, it is hard to qualify for surveys but I do understand its because of my demographics and other info that doesn't match what they are looking for. I only have a mobile phone, so I am limited anyway. The video section doesn't work most days. These are just little kinks though. Every morning I go on this site and complete my daily checklist which consists of answering a daily poll, trying a survey, daily video, etc. You do get paid a few cents each for completing these and they do add up quickly. It's easy money. I have cashed out once when I reached $25.00 for Paypal. I could cash out for a cheaper amount if I wanted something other than PayPal. This is a pretty good site. You are guaranteed money every day and they do send you emails that if you open up, you will get a few cents also. People always expect to be able to cash out quickly and if not, stop using a site. Not here at Earning Station. I have the time and patience and also have had good experience with their customer support team. I really do enjoy this site. Give it a try. You will be happy too.
Update: I am updating my review as of November 20, 2917 regarding their Customer Support Team. I now give them 5 stars. I had a slight issue of not being credited for joining a panel through Earning Station. I reached out to them, and was a little confused as to why my account wasnt crediting immediately. Sam C. from Earning Station took care of my situation and reached out to me in a very nice way to let me know what had happened and that he did some research on his own and then credited my account accordingly. I am very pleased by his help. Other Survey sites support teams could learn from him. I highly recommend joining Earning Station. You will be happy you did.

Kelly, We appreciate your positive and insightful feedback. We work very hard to keep our members happy by offering a variety of activities that allow them to earn every day.September 15, 2017 by donnella from United States
I love this site! I qualify for roughly 85% of the surveys which isn't bad compared to others. The support system is really friendly, and the surveys are fun. I just started doing surveys on Tuesday and I already have $13 and you need $25 to cashout to PayPal. OAN: I won a prize through their Facebook games!
