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.

Not impressed

I have been a member of HotSpex for a few months now. In that time I have received not one, but TWO requests from them to come on here and give a favorable review. Instead, I am giving an HONEST review. I think it's unethical to try to sway their members into giving positive feedback about them here. Notice the influx of new reviews the last few days?

Also - in my experience I have had very few surveys and still am unable to cash out my points. I can't honestly remember the last time I got a survey.

Overall I think it's a waste of time.

fun surveys

the surveys are fun to complete, but more of them are needed

not worth the effort

September 17, 2010 by First from United States

This site provides sponsored surveys (which pay more) and fun surveys (which pay minimally). I often travel, and despite being invited to complete sponsored surveys, the site prevents me from doing so while traveling. I haven't been invited to complete a fun survey in almost a month. The site is too hard to use, and the surveys are a bit too gimicky; not worth the effort unless you're just looking to occupy idle time.

Not impressed

I don't know, maybe the people that gave this 5 stars got lucky with a drawing or something, but I am not impressed. Takes forever to get anywhere and even well-designed surveys can't make up for that in my view. It's great to have fun - but I also want to earn a reward, not just a 1 in thousands chance at a reward, for my efforts.
