Most of the surveys dont let you finish and even on the ones you do, they won't compensate you. Let's you do all the work and then tells you your answers aren't good enough. Only cashed out twice to paypal. One time took hours and the other I never received smh
Most of the surveys are not a match and you don't find out until you're 10-15 minutes into it. They only give you 3 coins for the time that you wasted. They should know early on if you are not a match for the survey. I thought this was a good way to make some extra money, but it's just not worth it. Waste of time!
Legit, however 90% of surveys result in a disqualification with no explanation. No points are thus given and the disqualified result often appear after a full 15 + minute given survey. It appears that Thrifty pig does not screen surveys or require any kind of minimum standards. I would not recommend ThriftyPig.
Update- after spending hours and hours of dead end surveys with no reward and my last ridiculous 100 question survey that according to the email notice would take 11 minutes and no reward result….Im out!
I'm sure Thrifty Pig is compensated fairly by the surveys. Survey respondents are typically screwed.
Mary G's offer to look into a specific complaint is insufficient. She already knows the problems and complaints! There aren't any standards with this website! I'm done and you shouldn't waste your time unless you want to earn pennies per hour!
You can spend 10-20 min on each survey to find out that you not qualified. When I finally had enough coins to redeem they not let me do that and you can't erase your profile also. Don't waste your time, this site is trash!
Hi Julia - I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you have had on the site. I wanted to reach out, but I wasn't able to find any accounts in our system that could be you or any emails from you. Could you please contact me at support@thriftypig.com? I would be happy to get you cashed out. If the site isn't for you, I can also cancel your account. I think you might be referring to unsubscribing from our email list, but that won't automatically cancel your entire account because some panelists just don't like to receive emails from us. In any case, I am happy to help in any way I can improve your experience. Thank you! Mary Griffin
I admit that thrifty pig does pay quickly. However, you can spend a lot of time doing surveys and completing them only to find that you have wasted your time. You can report this to support but they don't do anything about it.
Hi Wanda - I'm so sorry for the negative experience on the site and would be happy to help. Would you mind sending me an email to support@thriftypig.com with your full name? We are always happy to look into how we can make things right when you have an issue on the site. Thanks! - Mary
I have been using thrifty pig for quite some time, but this time I received a used amazon gift card when I redeemed my points. I tried to redeem in 5 min after the email came, so not possible that somebody used it after I received it and NOBODY uses my gift card.
I sent an email to the customer service, but no response.
Received an updated gift card after posting this review.- Thanks
Hi Nabanita - I sincerely apologize for the trouble with that payment. I had emailed you on 7/11 with a new Amazon code, but it sounds like you missed my message. I just resent it from mary@thriftypig.com. Could you please respond to that email confirming that you have received your payment? Thank you!
They give you a penny a point which is better than youll find anywhere and you only need to get to 5 dollars to cash out. Awesome website, except why is it I can spend 5 to 10 minutes answering questions on s survey then suddenly I don't qualify. If that was fixed, 5 stars for sure.
I admit when I joined this site I was skeptical it would be like all the others I've joined and hated BUT I was so wrong! This site is amazing. Gives me a chance to make some extra funds by gift cards at Amazon. Which I use for household etc. Big money saver in my pocket! And yes you make money on this site. I couldn't believe how fast I was earning doing surveys. And Mary is the sweetest lady ever! You will love her! She handles any problems you have fast! She's there for you to help with anything. I've had a few problems and she's been so nice to me and handled them all.
You seriously want to answer surveys honestly and earn real money on a good site... then hope you get invited to this one and accept! I feel blessed I got an invited!
I joined this site just a few months ago. At first, I wasn't sure if it because there was nothing else to do (like watch videos, do tasks or searches), only surveys. But with a low minimum cash out if $5.00, I gave it a try. I am VERY HAPPY I did. I have already cashed out a few times to my PayPal account with NO issues. They send you a code to your email account, enter it, redeem and in a few hours, or sooner, your money is in your PayPal account. They do NOT take out a processing fee like some other sites do. Give this site a chance. It really does pay.
Not only do you spend 15-20 minutes on a survey, it'll often loop several times with the same questions before moving forward. Then, it says "complete" only to promptly go to "DANG" you didn't earn anything. The last survey I took was so anti-police and pro-protest that I was horrified! That was my breaking point. I come to these survey sites to earn extra change in challenging times. 99.9% are neutral and screen their surveys to avoid a pull one way of the other. I have never in 10+ years of doing these sites had a survey just take a hard turn like that one. I don't care who/what you support keep it simple and not narrow-minded! We see and hear enough of it on tv! I asked once to be deleted, a very nice woman asked me to stay and give it another try. Well... I did and no, nope, nuh uh, forget it I'm out. You have a looooong way to go with this site. I wish you luck and the best.
Hi Kirstin,
I followed up in a personal email and wanted to close the loop here as well. I sincerely apologize that you didn’t have a better experience on the site. I completely understand that taking surveys can be an escape and stress relief during these challenging times. Our team also agrees that survey topics should not promote a certain political agenda. I feel that the majority of survey programmers are sensitive in their handling of uncomfortable or controversial topics, but we are all human living through a particularly divisive and unusual time in US history, and it sounds like this survey may have crossed a line. I would just emphasize that survey topics on the Thrifty Pig site do not represent the political or personal beliefs of anyone on the Thrifty Pig team.
If any of our panelists have a negative experience on a survey (regardless of what it might be), we encourage them to bring the issue to us immediately so we can resolve it. We pride ourselves on customer service and providing a good experience for our panelists. If you send me information about the surveys you completed but didn’t receive payment on, I would be happy to make it right for you regardless of whether you continue with the panel. This will be our only comment on this thread, but you can reach me at mary@thriftypig.com. Thank you for your time and feedback.
Best,
Mary
