I've had a good time signing up and taking surveys from PrizeRebel. First I was very surprised by the number of rewards that they offered, many of them were emailed. After a couple of days I've been able to cash out for 2 rewards. Both rewards were processed and sent to me within 24 hours so it was a quick and fulfilling process from start to finish. I will be using this website again in the future.
"It's a waste of time. You could spend over 30 minutes doing a survey, and it will say "completed". Then, you get the message "we are sorry, this was not a good fit for you." After that, they steal and use your answers, but keep your incentive. This is the biggest survey scam on the web. So, steer clear of this money-stealing scam."
Hi Anthony, I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced on the survey. Unfortunately surveys can choose to disqualify you at various points in the survey. We are against this practice if it is a late disqualification and if you let us know we can remove the survey.
I signed up to PrizeRebel to make some extra money as a side hustle. So far it's been working out fairly well as I'm able to make a hundred dollars or so every month when I have free time to take surveys. I've cashed out through paypal, amazon gift cards and cryptocurrency. It's worth trying out when you have free time and their support team is fairly good whenever you encounter an issue and you will get a reply within 24 hours.
Thank you for the review! We're happy to hear your good experience with PrizeRebel and the hundreds a month you're making!
After 3 days filling up surveys and spending around 4 hours in total, I only managed to collect 500 points. This points could be exchange for a $5 paypal voucher, which I requested. As soon as I did, they sent me an email claiming I had not verified my account with a proper ID and they were gonna close my account. They never asked me to do so before, nor even at the time of requesting the $5 dollars, so it all sounds like they take advantage of people to fill up surveys and then put some excuses not to pay.
1. Not reliable.
2. If you want to make $5 a week for spending 3-4 hours, go ahead, but I don't think is wirthy, specially if they gonna make some excuse not to pay you (and earn the money them selves).
Hi Tere Sph, I apologize that you are disappointed with the account identification process. From time to time we may ask new account users to verify themselves by requesting documentation to verify their identity. This information is not retained and is simply used to verify your identity. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions.
I feel completely conned by this survey company and they have wasted many hours of my time! Please keep away if you value your time and effort. At first, I did 3 or 4 surveys that took a couple hours of my time and managed to claim £3.80 via paypal. It seemed ok and fast payout. The next batch of surveys kept knocking me out half way or most of the way through or just glitching with errors. That was 4 hours of my time wasted, but I just thought it might be down to bad luck or the demographic isn't suitable. The next day I continued to do another 5 surveys which where fully completed and I didnt get the points for them. This was another 3 hours wasted as 1 or 2 of them took a lot longer than the stated time. I complained to customer service and gave screenshots for each survey not credited and just received generic responses stating that they will enquire with the survey provider to credit the missing points for 5 surveys. I left it for a few days, no further responses and still don't have my points. I've just tried 1 more survey on gaming and it asked my 16 year old daughter if she was willing to participate and she did for 20 mins for the rest of the survey as required. She completed the survey, should of been 106 points and it just redirected at the end to a page stating that the survey was no longer required, so shes had her time wasted as well. It seems that Prizerebels stratergy is to sucker you in when you first join by giving you a couple of surveys that go smoothly and let you get a bit of money. Then once you get going the surveys are fiddled with full of errors and excuses to get you to do part or full surveys without paying you and this company keeps the credit for your work.
Absolutely disgraceful, you have been warned! Most of the positive reviews on here are probably done by Prizerebel themselves... I wouldn't put it past th
We're sorry to hear about your frustration. Each survey has a set of qualifications that are set by the researcher for their studies. This can limit the number of surveys you can complete. We do recommend checking back the following day or with our other survey providers if you are seeing more disqualifications. New surveys are constantly being uploaded by the researchers for different demographics and researchers.
I registered myself in prizerebel only to get stuck at 100 points even after 10 days! There appeared to be multiple surveys to choose from, but for no particular reason, they keep disqualifying you!
So, please don't waste your valuable time on such cheap platform!
Hi Weenuy. We're sorry to hear about your less than stellar experience with PrizeRebel. We constantly strive to provide our members with the most surveys that they qualify for. Unfortunately, each survey has a set of qualifications determined by the researchers and survey provider to accept both you and your response. If you do not fit the qualifications for the survey, they survey provider may disqualify you from the survey. Our team are constantly working with different partners to add surveys for all members.
Had been using them for surveys and received my rewards for a couple
Of months, then suddenly without any warning got an email to say my account was closed.No idea why. I still had points for 3 x $5 gift cards that they owed me and now can't get for surveys I completed. I have sent them emails they are not responding to. I would not recommend prizerebel now and feels ripped off.!
This site is 100% legit and easy to use! I love how fast and easily you can match and complete a survey without any hasle, thanks prizerebel!
Hi Vin. We're glad to hear of your great experience. We'll continue to work towards being the best survey site for our members.
I did try Prize Rebel a year ago and couldn't get on with it. I have however recently joined them again and find them much improved and it didn't take long to reach my reward. Would recommend them
Thank you for sharing your experience, we hope you will give us another try in the future!
Since 2022, I made minimum $25,- each week and get paid in PayPal.
Somedays, I make much more but it depends which day and time I searching for surveys. Mostly I reach $5,- in 1 hour.
Normally I choose the Your Daily Survey (73 points), Dynata Daily Durvey (52 points) and some of the Samplicio.us surveys for successful surveys.
Now am at Diamond status and make some extra points and even quicker pay outs (within 15 minutes in Paypal).
On 1 August 2023: just won an Amazon card worth $200,-! Besides that, am still going strong and making around $25,- each week.
Tokenization of currency and payments: They award you with points that can be exchanged for real money, so it's a gimmick to try and make users think they're making more than they actually are.
Not enough work for everybody: You'll have to answer surveys before you can answer PAID surveys. You'll end up working for hours without receiving anything, because you're never "a match" for the "paid" surveys. Problem with that is you already wasted a lot of time and effort answering their probes and the companies already got the data they wanted without paying you anything.
Conclusion: Stay away from Prizebell and any other service that promises to pay you to work answering surveys. They are very dodgy and their true purpose is to collect as much personal data as possible without paying for it. You're lured by the promise of money and end up losing time AND money.
Hi Diego, I'm sorry to hear that you did not have a pleasant experience. For market research surveys, you do have to qualify for the survey as market researchers are looking for individuals in certain locations and fit a specific demographic that they are looking for. Any data that you input for market search surveys are not saved if you are disqualified for the survey. I apologize that you were not happy with the experience. We do our best to make sure that it is smooth as possible and offer disqualification points to users when they are disqualified. I hope you can give us another try in the future.
I had a great time using PrizeRebel, they had country specific gift card rewards for New Zealand. I've used the website on and off for about 6 months and have been able to get
All of my groceries for free. You do need to have patience because some surveys will disqualify you and there are not always many surveys available on weekends. With that said, they are legitimate and payout rewards very quickly. Their support team is always great and quick to respond! Overall a great experience.
Thank you David for sharing your experience of PrizeRebel. We are consciously adding new rewards for NZ and other countries. We hope to continue to serve you for many years to come!
These a$$holes should be beaten until they can't move at all, if you don't mind wasting your life on these scumbags then this is the site for you, you can do their putrid mindless surveys just to get testicle kicked if you are not a match, well I am done with these vile vultures, they should be call Prize crooks instead because that is who they are, nothing but stubborn Charles $#*!ens scrooge stubborn, minus the bah humbug crap.
Hi Bobby, I'm sorry that you did not have a good experience with our surveys. Unfortunately survey available is determined by current market demand, your demographics and location. I hope you can give us another try in the future when there might be surveys available for you.
I loveee this site it is so trustworthy and the surveys are worth lots of points! In ONE day I was able to earn 5 Visa giftcards! I made 25$ in just one day! WOW! (Can't do proof cuz of 300x300 limit)
Hi Janiyah, thank you for the review and I'm glad you are enjoying your experience so far on PrizeRebel!
It's highly recommendable and trustworthy as well. It has instant payout system which is very timesaving.
Hi Halim, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We love being able to provide instant rewards to our users!
PrizeRebel is my go-to site. Tried all other "earning" sites, you name it, I've tried it with no luck. I'm not the type to want to download apps, sign up for offers, or install tracking software on my phone. I'm a simple person, do a survey, get paid.
So here's the good parts of PrizeRebel in my experience:
Theres a variety of survey partners that are clearly listed. You get a list of partners, each with their own survey inventory. Being able to do surveys from partners I like has made survey taking sooo much easier. Other sites just bunch them together. Bunching them might work for some but if a survey partner is bad, theres just no way to avoid them.
Another thing are those monthly promos. It seems that each month, PrizeRebel has a survey promo that gives you more points than normal! More points!
Reward claim is meh at the start. 24 hours to process my reward. Although it does get faster when I got to gold tier. 10 minutes, Not too bad.
Their support team pretty solid as well. Quickish replies, attentive to the issue. Not much for me to say or complain about.
Now the worst part:
The worst part honestly is encountering issues with surveys. Yes, technical issue occurs, but why is it on me. I get it, its not PrizeRebel hosting the survey, but man does it make me mad. I appreciate the courtesy credit their support team provide when I write in, but still frustrating. The survey industry needs to get their act together. No one wants to encounter issue or be disqualified.
Overall, PrizeRebel the easiest survey site that I've used. Survey seems to not run out with pretty decent payouts. Solid support team. Quick rewards.
Thank you for the full review Annie, I've shared both the positives and the negatives that you've mentioned with the rest of our team. I am sorry to hear about disqualifications and technical issues and the responsibility falls on us and our survey partners to do better. I hope we can be your #1 survey site for many years to come.
I Have been a Prize Rebel user for over two years. Is this a decent place to make some extra dollars? Yes. Is this a place where one month you can earn $500 and another earn $5? Yes. Is this the easiest place to make extra money? It's one of them. Do they have great support? No. I have earned a lot during my two years. The experience has been acceptable. However, recently I have noticed an increase in 'issues' that I receive when finishing a survey. The magic in this system is that you have no recourse as PrizeRebel holds the power. My instinct has always been accurate in my life, and it's telling me that these issues are done on purpose. PrizeRebel on more than two occasions was caught in a lie for which they were commenting on a situation that I had made up, completely fabricated to see their reaction. They fell for it and fell hard, in my opinion. I would strongly suggest avoiding their OFFER WALL offers, as both times I had completed said offer, nothing was awarded. I was ignored by the offer company, and then even prize rebel didn't give a load in helping me. Plus, they issue standard responses that lack effort and tone.yes, you can make money. But is it worth the drama or lack of transparency? Up to you. I am a simple 40yo man who's been going through cancer treatments with a lot time to kill. This was fun. Worth it.
Hi Jordan, thank you for leaving a comprehensive review and I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience at times. We are constantly looking for feedback to better serve our users. I have shared your review with our management so we can work on some of the areas that you've had concerns about. I hope you can give us another try in the future.
After many frustrating hours of surveys getting to 90-99% complete and THEN being rejected i managed to accrue enough points for a £5 amazon gift card. Made my claim. Decided to do no more as i was getting pretty annoyed at the rejections which generally happened when they were asking my ethnicity, my locale or gender, again. They already asked at the start so if i don't fit requirements end it at the start.
Anyhoo. 24 hours later i get this;

I mean seriously what sort of ID verification is it if i blank out ALL the references on it and my picture hahaahaha.
Wish i had checked reviews more closely as there are so so many the same as mine when you look down the page.
Ah well lesson learnt and hope this helps someone out

Hi Bobby, I'm sorry that you did not have a good experience with our security procedures. Unfortunately it is necessary in some instances to verify a user identity before we can process a reward redemption request. I apologize for the information required but we try to make the process as smooth as possible so you can get back to earning and redeeming for rewards. Feel free to contact our support team if you have any further concerns and questions.
I have been using PrizeRebel for 2 years already and have noticed this year 2022 that I get disqualified after spending 20-30 minutes on a survey. Even when I sent screenshots that I completed the survey, customer service at PrizeRebel is useless and we get arguments that it does not count as completion. I am tired of doing surveys for PrizeRebel and recommend going to Swagbucks instead.
Answered all questions. Did not rush through Did not let me know what the problem was. Not credited. Happened too many times.
Hi Dianne, I am sorry to hear that you are facing non crediting issues with certain surveys. Please reach out to our support team and they will investigate this issue. They are available 24/7.
Answer: Mostly I heard that once you get money they ban you with some excuse I got banned from 2 survey providers because they said I use proxy when I have a phone and phones don't have proxy also I lost my account after getting enough points for a card they said my account doesn't exist stay away from the website :/
