So I read some of the reviews for Innopoll changing to Forthright and had to spend some time on the site to see for myself, since I'm already a member of the Innopoll dog food panel and have never had a problem with the surveys they send, or the loyalty credit.
Yesterday, I spent 30 minutes NOT qualifying for what were mostly Samplicios surveys, through the $2 tab.
Today, I clicked on the shorter surveys for$1 and spent another 30 minutes NOT qualifying for the same surveys.
Love the dog food panel, the e-mailed Innopoll surveys and the loyalty credits-5 Stars there BUT...I take paid surveys to supplement my fixed income and simply will not waste ANY time on the Forthright site. I give the site -1 Star because there are way too many third parties involved. INNOPOLL+5

I have to update my review. The folks at Forthright have really made an excellent effort to get in sync with their new partners. Still not super easy to qualify, but 70% better. What I appreciate most about Forthright is their support team, especially Viktor and Max. They will not leave you hanging when you contact them and communicate regularly through social media which to me is extremely member friendly. So I change my 1 star rating to 3 1/2. Congrats Forthright!

I joined this panel because it sends your reward right away. At first, I was qualifying for $2, $3, and $1 surveys. Even getting $2 loyalty bonuses for doing their partner sites, which Forthright says will credit you for getting disqualified. After getting the first bonus I can not get past the 2 stars to get the 3rd star for a bonus, and I get disqualified all of the time now. The thing is. I qualify for the same surveys on other panels that Forthright disqualifies me from. I have completed surveys and was not rewarded and the losses have accumulated to over $20. That may not seem like a lot, but the average survey takes over 30 mins to complete. So do the math 30x20 and that was all my valuable time wasted for nothing, and customer support does not exist. I will probably still try to do a survey on this site every now and then to see if Forthright improves, but for now, the site is not being Forthright to its Loyal Members.

After posting this first review BeForthRight has improved tremendously. They have addressed some of my reward issues, but that is better than nothing. I now give them 3.5 stars. BeforthRight is getting better with Customer Service, who actually respond now, and resolves the issues that are within their control. I would recommend this Panel as a Top Ten Site. I am now doing a revision on this Date. Ok, update. Be forthright has fallen back into its habit of not reimbursing you if their partners don't pay and again my losses are accumulating. A very bad Panel

05/03/2018. Lately, I have been experiencing Re-Direct problems from their Partner sites, so I started taking screenshots after completion of surveys. In the past Month, it has totaled something like $20. I send my proof to some Robot called Max, and they will not pay me my hard earned Money!! I will now place BeForthRight at the bottom of the Trusted Panels. They are not being ForthRight with its Members, and they are getting rich off of my Time spent taking their surveys and hoping once I get to the end. Maybe I will get paid or maybe not. The thing that makes me really upset is, I am doing in-home testing for them right now and have been for the last 3 Months!! Terrible Site and I would tell everyone about them if I were you. We as Panel Members need to collaborate and stop Panels such as BeForthRight from practicing unethical Conduct on a consistent basis. Survey Police may not approve this Review. I will not be surprised.

Innopoll was excellent, always qualified for surveys could complete many at a time and survey amounts varied as well as instant payment methods were plentiful. Then Forthright took over and I was skeptical but after a few months things seemed not as wonderful (less surveys, lower payments and more disqualifications after completing nearly half of a survey.) Well as of today it looks like they sealed their coffin shut, the payouts for Bitcoin which used to be instant and honestly was the only thing that kept me loyal to them are gone. So now for the negative stuff that you will experience if you join the panel.
You can only complete a maximum of 3 surveys a day which you receive no time estimate for, and you will be rerouted literally 30 times in order to complete the 3 surveys if you choose or can tolerate to attempt that many. You only will receive $6 in payment which used to be instant but mind you this could take you easily 4 or 5 hours of disqualifying and trying to finish and get through one. Once you think you've finished a survey, don't get excited yet. Sometimes after taking over 50 minutes on a survey, you will be rerouted to an error page rather than the payment page. The only positive thing I have to say is their support people try to be helpful as they can. But, that's pretty sad that I had to talk to support nearly every day to receive inadequate compensation.

I know that a lot of people have given this place a poor review, but I think that if you just stick to Forthright surveys, instead of the partner surveys it is very fair. If you get excluded you still get rewarded a star, and if you get 3 stars, you get a payout. I do not do the partner surveys as they take too long and I don't have time to get kicked out and not get any reward. I also like how they pay out the prize right away (at least the Amazon gift cards, which is all I have done). This is one of the sites at top of my list.

Since signing up I've only been offered one Forthright survey. They also offer "partner surveys", you're allowed to complete 3 per day for either $1, $2, or $3 each. If you're looking to work for over an hour for $3 per day this is the site for you. They won't pay you for all 3 surveys, they will pay you for one if you're lucky. You'll spend time completing entire surveys only to be redirected to another survey in hopes of possibly being able to claim your earned money after completing that one. That cycle will happen until you do about 5 surveys and you will be kicked out of doing anymore until the next day. Sadly you shouldn't bother trying to contact support as they most likely won't respond or will just give you the same "copy/paste" response they give everyone else. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PAID FOR EVERY SURVEY, WE AREN'T TAKING THESE FOR FUN.
