Hi-just thought I would update this...
I found the option to withdraw funds via Paypal which I submitted on the Honest Rewards website.
Approx a month later-I received £16 from them in my Paypal account!
So they do seem to pay out-very pleased anyway0 -
Hi
I was asked by this company early last year to help promote it on any forums I was on and was told that unlike other companies people would be rewarded even if they were rejected by the survey. After doing a few of the surveys it seemed to me to be a fair {if new} company and I suggested that people might like to join. I was then contacted by Wesley and was told that he would pay me for promoting the company to the tune of £20.00, this offer later was reduced to £10.00 and to date I have never recieved a penny {that was even after at his request suppling an address to send a cheque to}. When I contacted him by email telloing him I was not happy with the way the company was working the feeling from the reply was OK leave if you want.
I would not advise anyone to sign up to this company,there are plenty of others out there who are at least honest with the base they build and even though with some it can take time to reach the pay out you know that {unlike "Honest Rewards"}

I submitted a payment request on 07/09/12 over 30 days later I am still waiting even though the site says within 28 days. I messaged them last week about this and was told I would receive payment no later than Monday, 3 days later and still no payment and no answer to my emails, not happy!0

I requested a payment from these people, on 18/09/2012 and was expecting to recieve it within 30days, and as you can guess they havent paid it into my paypal account, so ive emailed tthem several times with no reply and looking at the comments on here, looks like Im not the only one to have been ripped off, so if anyones up for getting this company taken out of trading on the web and the uk in the future let me know, fed up with cons like this in this country, its bad enough the banks do it to people, no wonder people are struggling!0

Hello World,
I do't know what issues you guys got with Honest Rewards.
I have received 3 payments in this year from honest rewards, average 16.00 each.
I got money even previous year as well.0 -
Well you must be one of the only ones then....For most of us the whole company is just a scam and I for one would like to know why a company like this can choose not to pay out even though they seem to be getting others to sign up with them.
It is also strange to me that you as a brand new poster joining this month would come in to defend them, ok,IF you have been lucky enough to get paid then good on you but there are MANY of us that have either done the surveys or as for me have {in the past} promoted this company with an offer of a £20 reward for doing it {this after was reduced to £10} and am still after 2 years waiting for the cheque to arrive. In our opinion the whole thing is nothing but a rip off and I for one am advising EVERYONE I can to avoid this company like the plague.
I just hope that the person that asked for my help with this reads it but even if he will I know that he will not care one bit as there are other people that he will con to keep his site going and make money off the backs of the HONEST people

Bumped up for info0

I thought I'd let people know my experience with the site, since I have referred to moneysavingexpert for information before.
I had already 'redeemed' my credit and was waiting for it to process (5 weeks waiting) from Honest Rewards when I came across this thread about two and a half weeks ago. This thread did give me the impression that I was never going to see the money, and I stopped using the site.
But the money came through today in full, so I think I will continue using it.
I had no problem apart from the time it took the money to transfer to my paypal, nearly double the time specified in the terms and conditions. One thing I think people should note about Honest Rewards is that it's not exactly quick. It took me about 18 months to amass around £19 of credit, because a lot of the surveys I was sent took my time then told me I wasn't eligible to complete it, thus not eligible to earn any money.0 -
Just saw an ad from Paid Surveys 4 me with loads of jobs on the totaljobs.com website. It has the same registered address as Honest Rewards.
18 months to make £19, think I might give that 'job' a miss.
Thank you for the information ab1070 -
I stopped doing the Honest Reward survey after I had real problems in getting the cheque of £15 to be paid out. I had to email so many times and I just kept getting a response that I need to update my correct address etc. I had done this and checked it was ok so many times, but still no cheque. The final straw for me was when I posted about my bad experience on the FB page for Honest Rewards and then I was blocked, unable to post again on that page. I do not take kindly to this treatment and so after eventually I did get a payout but only after threatening to take matters further, I decided to ignore any honest reward emails informing me of any surveys. I do take on that there are some posters that say that the company is legitimate, and that they have been paid out. It is just that my experience was so bad really. I was also told that due to me being screened out so many times. I would be given a credit, but it took ages and lots of emails to chase up that credit. I tell you- the amount of time and hassle I had just to get £15 really wasn't worth my time. Luckily I have found so many other great survey sites0
