Honest rewards BEWARE

  • Hi Guys

    Mrcrimbo thank you for sharing this information, I now know not to register to UNhonest Rewards lol! I can sympathise with you as I know how long it can take to earn a lot of money on these sites.

    The websites I use and would always recommend are; Valued opinions, YouGov, Surveyfriends and Panelopinion.

    https://www.valuedopinions.co.uk - frequently have new surveys for you to take part in
    https://www.surveyfriends.co.uk - offer prizes and vouchers, which isn't obviously as good as cash but the vouchers are really easy to win :/
    https://www.panelopinion.co.uk - have a low cash out rate, once you have earned £10 you can withdraw it (without any hassle) :j

    Obviously there are many other trusted survey sites, but these are my favourites
    Good Luck
    :) :eek: ;)
    :eek: 2014: £20 voucher from SurveyFriends, £10 cash payout from Panel Opinion too and working towards more from Valued Opinions currently.
    2013: £35 and £50 vouchers from SurveyFriends! More than £15 made from other paid surveys sites (Yougov, Panel Opinion, Valued Opinions, Pinecone, etc.) Happy so far!
  • If anyone out there is thinking of doing surveys for this company my advice is DON'T. They are nothing but a bunch of useless idiots.
    I have sent over FORTY, yes, FORTY emails to them asking for my payment that I originally requested in SEPTEMBER and they still steadfastly refuse to send it to me. A person who goes by the name of WESLEY MURPHY keeps sending emails saying 'the cheque is in the mail', 'unfortunately we cannot send cheques due to people's dishonesty', 'send me your address so we can mail you a cheque', ' set up a paypal account for us to pay you', blah, blah, blah.
    What a bunch of scumbags. I've forgotten what my payment was now but it was somewhere in the region of £15 and they are making me almost beg for this paltry amount. I have reported them to the Office of Fair Trading who have advised that they are in breach of contract and I am now pursuing a complaint through them.
    There are plenty of other reputable survey companies out there. Pick any one of them BUT AVOID 'HONEST' REWARDS LIKE THE PLAGUE. (Their name is a joke!!!).
  • I signed up late July 2011 it took to December to get to the £15 limit I asked for the money in late December it does not state on site you have to wait 28 days, they only tell you after you request money, so far I have waited 27 days and still not received a penny. Wesley says payments are not automatic but they are looking into changing it. He even knows I am out of work and struggling financially but he doesn't speed up or pay. Simple answer Wesley enter the amount to be paid into website click transfer ha presto! money transferred.
    PLEASE AVOID UNhonest rewards!

  • I have been reading all of the negative comments about Honest Rewards and felt obliged to relay my own experience with them. I joined last year (2011) and after a few months and yes quite a lot of wasted time with some of their surveys I reached the £15 threshold and requested my payment. Not being blessed with much patience I contacted them after 10 days to ask where my cheque was and was informed that payments took 28 days to be processed,that was when I noticed this site and all the bad comments,so naturally I was not feeling at all positive. I sent another e mail to them in which I mentioned that I had been reading a lot of bad press about Honest Rewards. However my worries were unfounded as 2 days later my cheque arrived,it cleared and I have completed another survey for them,so I have to say that as far as I am concerned Honest Rewards are OK.

    Thankfully I have received my first paypal payment today and also received an email on the weekend stating this would happen. It does say to allow 28 days on the website. So not all bad then. worth the wait.

    I think that they have had issues. They grew too big too quickly and was probably only run by one guy from his home.

    It interesting to see that the one or two posts defending them are from people for whom that is their only activity on this board.

    It's very cheap to buy likes on facebook ~ £20 for 10k is the going rate at the moment.

    Hi, I too have reached the £15 withdrawal amount but can't find the option on the site to withdraw it?
    I click on payment options where it says BACS but there is no option to withdraw....I don't mind waiting 28 days but can someone advise me where the option is?

    Thanks :)
