Types of Assignments

Although QuickThoughts primarily offers mobile surveys, sometimes other opportunities are offered, such as shopping assignments where you could be asked to take pictures of products on store shelves. Other shopping assignments such as taking in-store polls near you, or providing feedback on your shopping experience at a local store, are also available.

I spent literally hours filling out surveys on Quick Thoughts. I really liked the platform. It was easy to use and they gave me lots of surveys. But when it came time to cash out, suddenly there was a "problem" with my account.
I contacted support and waited for literally a month before receiving this sketchy reply.
Hi Cara,

We apologize for the delay.

Unfortunately, the accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity has been flagged, and upon review of your account, we have been forced to suspend your account.

As a member of our program, you may only have one account, provide accurate profile information and survey responses. You must also be thoughtful and attentive in responding to our surveys. When we have concerns about any of these program rules, we are obligated to take steps to investigate and unfortunately suspend accounts.

We do not take account suspension lightly and do so only when account issues have been identified. At this time, your account has been indefinitely suspended and you will no longer be able to participate in surveys or claim rewards from our website.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Abigail

"The accuracy and attentiveness of your account activity" is a vague way of saying "we aren't going to compensate you for the work you did.
I answered their surveys honestly, and, as attentiveness goes, this was my go-to app until they decided to screw me and not compensate me for my time.
Do not download this app.

I spent A YEAR taking surveys, being "disqualified" at 70+% through some surveys to rack up the $50 required to redeem. Then I find out they don't have Amazon cards anymore, just iTunes. I was redeeming my rewards and got kicked out repeatedly. I received $30/$50 and then they suspended my account and then said I had been kicked out! What? They refuse to give me the other $20. If I could give them a ZERO, I would!

*** ANOTHER UPDATE ***
Okay, so days and days later... I was finally contacted and was told that they we're experiencing issues with some accounts and I'd be able to get back in within 48 hrs. I was FINALLY able to get back in, redeem my GC, and complete surveys again. I'm quite happy with the outcome. They have an amazing payout rate and the surveys are easy. So that's why I was so distraught. I felt like they had done me wrong lol. I just wish someone would have contacted me sooner to acknowledge that my message had been received.
All in all... I'm happy.

*** ANOTHER UPDATE ***

So, I literally just got my account back. I had the $7 I had before the block. Cool, right? Nope. I do 3 surveys, then I go to cash out, an magically I am locked out again!!!!!


*** this is an update ***
I finally heard from someone and they have reactivated my account with the balance I last had.
I give 4 stars because the helpdesk (or w/e) took forever to even respond.
I'm glad they have helped make this right.


I have been using Quickthoughts since about February of this year. I have made well over $100 bux. All was well, then one day... I'm locked out of my account. I have sent NUMEROUS e-mails trying to get this issue resolved. Not even 1 reply. I use multiple survey sites and have recently encountered a problem with my location constantly changing. I do not have a VPN or Proxy as some providers have suggested in troubleshooting my accounts on other sites. I am homeless, and I rotate to 3 different places to stay. All of these locations are in the same county, but all are in different zip codes. I suspect that each place I go is pinging off of a different town that is nearby instead of the one I am in. I've had this happen before, and have noticed it on my Amazon account and on various weather apps (including Google). So not only do I go to different towns at least once a week, but my location is pinging off of another town occasionally. I have resolved these issues with other survey sites, and we worked it out. But Quickthoughts won't even send me an email back! It's been over a week and I have emailed once a day. I ALWAYS have provided my best, accurate answers. Since I make very little working, the extra money is nice. That way I can treat my friends and families to an Amazon GC from time to time to show my appreciation for helping me through this rough time. I have used the money mainly on clothes, so I have something decent to wear to work. So this extra money helped tremendously. I even referred SEVERAL people to join Quickthoughts, and now I'm being ignored?
I've seen many people bring up complaints about Quickthoughts and I've always defended them. This was because they had treated me well and responded quite promptly to my past concerns. Now, I'm just disappointed. They have completely ignored me this time. You'd think they would handle complaints better, so they wouldn't get all these negative reviews.
But what do I know.

I used Quickthoughts for 6 months and all was fine. I earned $599 and couldn't cash out until I sent in my tax form. I sent mine and continued to do surveys while I waited to for them to process it. 3 weeks later they were claiming they never received my form. I built up $150 while I waited. I emailed them telling them I know they received my form...next thing I know I was locked out of my account and accused of breaking their rules when I know I did nothing wrong. I fought back and they said they would have someone else look at my account. This was a month ago and now they won't return my emails. I just want the $150 I spent hours doing surveys to get. I earned that money.

I have used quick thoughts for a long time, but this is the THIRD time I have been locked out of my account before I could cash out my earnings. It's bad enough that surveys take more than 20 minutes and pay one lousy dollar, but to not even get the money you earned is criminal.
