Note: Hotspex is currently focused on conducting research outside North America and hence, offers only the very rare survey to its North American members. Hotspex is also soliciting its members to join other survey panels.

HotSpex is a unique online community where participants are invited to participate in online surveys and innovate for leading brands. Members are dubbed "Hotspex Innovators" and earn "BUX" points redeemable for gift cards, PayPal payments, charitable donations, and more in exchange for their participation. Cash giveaways and prize draws are also available.

Panel Info Needs to be Updated!

September 17, 2010 by Lori from United States

Members of HOTSPEX no longer earn points redeemable for vouchers, music downloads and other points program points as it mentions in the information here. Members can now either donate to charity or "buy" a sweepstakes entry. No Incentive = No Reason to Participate. This rating should drop like a stone now.

I want to see that tree they planted!

September 17, 2010 by Robert from United States

They sure have planted a lot of trees for me, which is what I seem to win every "mystery" spin. The only mystery here is who is taking all the money HOTSPEX gets paid for the survey results. What a scam. They pay virtually nothing, and you have to sign up with a HIGHLY questionable site to claim a very meager reward. Of course, most likely your points will expire, or be wiped out, or the points needed to claim your reward will increase. All of these things have happened to me. Don't waste your time, there are plenty of better sites out there.

I have been with them for a while now and I have only got like 3 surveys and at the end of every one they say they planted a tree! no rewards

Terrible incentives

September 17, 2010 by Kevin from United States

You have to use a third party services like points.com to get any value for your time and points. There are very long periods between getting surveys. While the site is nice and the surveys run well, it seems like NPD. You take surveys but get nothing. I would not recommend wasting your time on this panel until they get their act together and get better incentives to get you to sign up.

Very advanced website, but needs more payout

September 17, 2010 by Alex from United States

I have no use for free mp3 downloads, or anything that the point.com system implements. I just need a check. The site is nice with its flash applets and everything, but the pay isn't worth it.
