I like BeForthright, don't recommend the partner surveys though

I think I've been using BeForthright for close to 2 years. When they send me a survey directly, I always try to take those surveys and more often than not I'm successful. They once sent me a survey link to some kind of study and I made $80 for doing an two hour interview with an animated AI. So I've been fortunate to have some really nice surveys come through, but getting surveys from Forthright is incredibly rare. I will go over a month without getting a single survey invite which is disappointing but there's nothing I can do about that.

Well gee why don't you just try their partner surveys? It says you can earn up to $5 a day doing partner surveys! Here's my problem with that. They have no control over the partner surveys so I'd say about 50% of the time when I find a partner survey and actually qualify for it and complete it, the third party people lie and I don't get paid. And Forthright won't do anything about these unfair disqualifications because it's up to that third party who I can't contact. Or you won't finish a survey but you'll spend several minutes on a survey before getting kicked out. Is that a lot of these partner surveys are from Prodege, this is the company that is tanking Swagbucks and probably inbox Dollars of they're still a thing. I won't even try the Prodege anymore because I know I'll be sinking an hour into something and either be disqualified or walk away with 12 cents. So my advice is to avoid the partner surveys because MarketCube is a never-ending loop that gets you nowhere and Prodege lies.

It doesn't hurt to sign up, I just wish they had more surveys for me. For every BeForthright survey you finish or get disqualified from you get a star and three stars get you $2. I really like and appreciate that feature. When I cash out I always get my payout immediately and via Tango there's a lot of different options. I have gotten Amazon cards, and PayPal. The PayPal always seems to say it could take a couple extra days but I've always gotten it immediately.

really disappointed

really disappointed. ive used this site since march of 2022, never had any issues. i got an email to do a AI study, first part was a video interview for $100, and i was paid same day no problem. then the 2nd part was a survey for $50 two weeks later. i just got the email yesterday to take it, i completed it and it said the $50 was credited to my account, but when i checked, it wasnt there. its still not there. ive emailed support and havent heard back.

I generally enjoy Beforthright.com

I generally enjoy Beforthright.com, but sometimes (or plenty of times) there are drawbacks that cannot be ignored.

I've used their platform for upwards of a month, give or take, and it's good enough if you have NO other options. Surveys average around $1-3 USD. Their $2 survey bonus after the completion of three surveys is pretty nice too. But the issue here is with the partner surveys and the withdrawals. If I've been on the website actively participating for the last 6 months, why am I still having my withdrawals held? I have a $100 withdrawal that STILL has not paid out yet and I'm not sure it ever will.

Great Beforthright. Very progressive.

Only Survey Website I Use!

BeForthright is a really good survey-cash website! You can PayPal, free for use with no subscription or withdrawal minimum. If you live in Alaska (where I'm from, hi!) or Hawaii, unfortunately surveys will be harder to qualify for so if you have experience in another state or country I'd suggest using that as your starting point!

Does infact pay out and you can even get text updates when you get a new survery you qualify for, it even tells you how much you can receive for the survey! I love BeForthright and they're the only people I do surveys from any more.

(Also, you'll get more survey opportunities on desktop, as there's vision and societal view experiments they run with simple coded applications that show you images or phrases to choose options from, that in turn log your results for the survey. These offer higher payout but take longer.)

Used to be the best

Used to be the best, I would get invitations all the time for high paying projects l. Some were $50 to $100 dollars for surveys this is really good, even if they were spaced out and only occasionally l. I never got disqualified either. Lately they are still very spaced out, even more so now, and they are all for 1 or 2 dollars and you probably are going to get diqualified. And I will not even get into the partners surveys that is a joke. Disappointed with these guys

forthright blows

This company will advertise a 5min survey and then send you to a 3rd party that will give you 25 min survey only to dq you at the end when they have gotten all the info they wanted. This is a long time coming but forthright sucks and they should be ashamed

A waste of time

The only money I've made on this site is when they email me about a survey. Those I always qualify for because they have prequalified me. Each pays from $1 to $2.50. And they give bonus points. I've never had issues being paid. I've used the site for approximately 8 years. The reason for one star is that the surveys say they'll take, for example, 5 minutes. Not so! It could take half an hour or more. I have only qualified for perhaps one out of 500 surveys, and that one was so long I simply had to quit because I felt myself aging in place. I believe it to be a legitimate site, but a very poor site for the person who needs to earn money.

Discrimination

I wrote a review on them a few months ago about not wantingbto pay me well they finally played me but now its like they are not giving me any surveys I feel like they are discriminating against me since I reported them and wondering if I should contact my lawyer because I see others getting surveys.

Same issues for me as others

Same issues for me as others. I had banked $172 and requested payout. They listed a payout in my history but it never came through. I emailed them repeatedly, tried the help chat and their facebook page. No response at all. Dump them.

I'm in the process of reporting this…

I'm in the process of reporting this company to the BBB. I took a bunch of surveys, I banked my rewards to almost $9 and when I finally cashed them out I opted for an Amazon giftcard. I didn't receive it (despite successfully using this cash out method several times before). I tried emailing & emailing to no avail. At the same time I noticed that they stopped sending me surveys altogether. I'm wondering if they banned me over this!? I don't even care at this point. Ban me from future participation but you cannot take money from surveys I've already completed. On top of that, I had taken a huge social media survey where I gave them access to all of the my social media accounts, they uploaded all of my activity etc and when my $10 reward came through, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED! No Amazon reward was received. So again, email email email email. NO ANSWER. I attempted to reach out from two different email addresses and respond to an old customer service email thread.
Such a bummer. I am trying to leave reviews everywhere so that people avoid this company.
I have screenshots of all emails sent as well as screenshots of my cash outs.

Not too shabby

You won't make a living obviously, but there is instant payout via PayPal. You can make about 10-20 a month, better than nothing to be fair.

Refuse to pay bonus and won't answer emails

I did a social media influencer survey that lasted a few months. Every 2 weeks it sent me a survey and I had to answer the questions correctly to get a payout. I answered every survey correctly and at the end it said I would get a $25 bonus after completing the final survey. I completed the final survey on 1/6 and I still haven't received the bonus. I have sent several emails and they refuse to email me back. It's unacceptable to do that after I did everything exactly the way they wanted it.

I've been very hesitant to criticize…

I've been very hesitant to criticize the site as they seem to have tried more unique things than other survey sites in the past. For example, at some point they allowed crypto withdrawals, and the instant payment thing is nice. They also offer nice bonus payments. Their email login is also a very secure way to log in.

However, the experience just doesn't work well. For example, I just qualified for a "$2 survey" on beforthright, it was advertised to me by beforthright as a 15 minute survey for $2. However, after entering the survey there was a long pre-qualifier-type thing. At the end of that pre-qualifier, the *survey itself* said that the survey I was currently taking was *$3.50* and would take *25 minutes*... I had already invested time so I continued. At the end of the very long survey I only got $2.

I then withdrew to Paypal, which took 25 cents off, so I got $1.75 total for a 25 minute survey. That is less than $5 per hour.

That was in their official survey section, their 'partner survey' section is much worse and you can waste near an hour not earning anything there.

I added a star because I think this site has potential. It's not always the fault of the survey provider if the surveys are bad or misleading. If Beforthright gets more surveys in their non-partner section, it could easily beat other survey sites. If the site becomes better I will re-review with a better review most likely as I dislike leaving bad reviews to sites who make a good effort
