Survey Junkie is an online platform that connects its 20 million+ members to research studies in the form of online surveys from big brands and market research companies. Members can earn their choice of cash or gift cards in exchange for their participation. Over $55,000 is paid out to members every day.

It is available to residents of the USA, UK, Canada and Australia.

Earn up to $130 Per Month

With Survey Junkie, you can participate in online surveys on your computer or using the app in order to earn rewards including cash paid to your PayPal account (or gift cards and bank transfers in the USA). For prospective members wondering how much they can make from Survey Junkie, the site advertises that members who complete four or more surveys daily and can earn as much as $130 monthly. Complete three or more surveys daily to earn as much as $100 per month. Creating an account is free and can be done via your Facebook or Google account.

New Member Sign Up Bonuses

New members of SurveyJunkie receive 25 free points immediately after signing up and an additional 25 points for confirming their e-mail address. Fill out the profilers to earn 10-50 points per profiler. Joining, clicking the confirmation link in your e-mail and filling out the general profiler is worth 100 points in total ($1.00). With a minimum cash out of $5.00, this is 20% of the way to an initial reward!

Survey Lengths

The average length of time it takes to complete a survey with Survey Junkie is 15 minutes. The estimated time for completions is stated on survey invitations (or in the app). New surveys are available daily.

Short Point Approval Times

Once you take a survey, it may take up to 24 hours to approve your points. Points do not expire as long as you are an active member. In order to be considered 'active', simply log in to your Survey Junkie account and complete a survey within a 12 month period.

Earn Cash for Completing Surveys

With just $5 worth of survey earnings (500 points), you can 'cash out' your points balance for two cash options:

• PayPal - receive an instant PayPal payment by selecting this rewards option. Note that you must redeem your full points balance when selecting PayPal for reward payments.
• Bank transfer (USA only) - If you live in the USA, you can choose to receive a bank transfer payment. Bank transfers are handled by a third-party partner and take 3-4 business days to complete and are a safe way to receive your money.

Choose a Gift Card Instead

If you live in the USA, you can also choose to redeem your points for e-gift cards. e-gift cards are available in denominations of $5, $10, $15, $20, $25 and $50. You can choose from major retailers including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Sephora, Groupon, Apple and Starbucks. You can also select a pre-paid Visa card.

Earn Points for Disqualifications

If you attempt to complete a survey but get disqualified before you're able to finish it, Survey Junkie will still credit your account with 2-3 points. Payouts for surveys themselves vary and will depend on the length of the survey, how difficult it is to qualify, as well as other criteria.

To increase your chances of qualifying for a survey, look for surveys that have green diamonds. These indicate surveys that you are most likely to be able to successfully complete. Red diamonds on the other hand, may carry higher payouts, but will have the lowest chance of being able to complete.

Complete Profile Surveys to Earn Points and Get Better Matched

Survey Junkie has numerous profile surveys available to members in their account dashboards. Complete these profilers to earn 10-50 points for each completion, and benefit from being better matched to future surveys.

Survey Junkie Awards

Unlock badges by reaching key milestones such as completing profiles, tutorials, taking your first survey, reaching your first 300 points, etc. Each badge completion awards anywhere from 5-10 points and can be found under the 'Awards' link located at the top of your account dashboard.

Survey Junkie App

Survey Junkie has a mobile app available on Google Play, for Android phone users and in the Apple store for iOS users. The app functions similarly to the website in that you can take surveys, check your available points balance, and redeem rewards. The Survey Junkie app will notify you when new surveys become available, which can be helpful in reducing the chances of being disqualified from a survey if you are one of the first respondents to complete a survey.

BBB Accreditation

Survey Junkie is a member of the Better Business Bureau of Glendale, California and maintains a solid BBB rating. They have hundreds of reviews posted on the BBB's website, most of which are positive and amount to a star rating that's between 4-5 stars.

Survey Junkie Pulse

Survey Junkie Pulse is a browser extension (you can install it via the mobile app, too) US residents can install in order to receive exclusive surveys that are based on your browsing activity. You'll receive a notification of new surveys directly in your browser, as soon a survey becomes available. SJ Pulse is designed to connect you with surveys based on your browsing interests and does not collect personal information such as passwords, emails, credit card information, etc.

Keep the extension enabled for 30 days on your desktop computer, and receive bonus points credited to your Survey Junkie account! As an added bonus, SJ Pulse users may also receive access to exclusive surveys that SJ Opinion users may not receive.

Is Survey Junkie Legit

Survey Junkie is not a scam and is considered to be a safe and legitimate survey panel.

To date, they have awarded over $75 million in rewards to their members and issue over $1.5 million in rewards every month They are a member of the BBB and have a good reputation there.

I have been waiting for the postcard with a 12 digit number so I can enter on their website to collect my PayPal earnings.

March 25, 2021 by joe from United States

I joined Survey Junkie in December last year and completed many surveys and redeemed points often with no problems. Then one day I was told that I couldn't redeem my points (which eventually reached $48 and change) until I received a postcard and entered a verification code. I was supposed to receive this card in 5-6 days. It never arrived. Weeks went by, with no explanation from customer service as to why the postcard didn't arrive. Then they claimed they sent another postcard. Meanwhile, every time I visited the site, I saw a message telling me to cash out before I reached $50, because redemption over $50 would require special approval. So, I could not take any surveys over a few cents, or take part in their streak bonuses (get a $5 bonus for completing a certain number of surveys for several days). After more attempts to contact customer service, they finally "allowed" me to redeem the points for the money they owed me. But now, even though I receive daily survey invitations, when I visit the site, there are no surveys at all. It seems the folks at Survey Junkie don't like being held accountable to their members!

It’s been months that I’ve been using SJ and now that I’ve earned enough points to get rewarded, I’m now getting blocked. Same message when I apply: “The entered address is invalid, please retry with a new address.” Every time. I have considered dropping my membership with SJ but I still feel that I should be rewarded. Maybe SJ isn’t as fun as I first thought it would be. By the way, I did try a different address, but still got the same result!

Survey Junkie has joined the "we will disqualify you at the end of completing a long survey so we can take your information and not reward you" survey site crowd. They blame the surveys themselves but they are the site hosting them, so they are responsible for these surveys that take your information without reward. Don't bother with this unethical site.

I have spent my time on this site answering their questions--I have no problem answering the questions however when it comes time to be paid out-if you are not on PayPal good luck on claiming--their customer support sucks too--
If anyone knows on to get my $50.00 I'll share ☺
