Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 630 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many people find the platform frustrating due to frequent screening out from surveys, often after spending significant time on them, which leads to uncredited effort and wasted time. Customers frequently report issues with surveys crashing, timing out, or not loading, especially when nearing completion, making it difficult to reach the payout threshold. The website and app experience are often described as problematic, with users encountering technical errors and a perceived lack of available surveys once they are close to cashing out. Some reviewers were not happy with the customer service, citing unresponsiveness, generic replies, and a lack of resolution for payment and technical issues, even with proof provided. Additionally, some people mentioned problems with payment, including rewards not being credited after completing offers that required personal spending, and difficulties with withdrawing funds due to technical errors or account blocks.

When I reached the withdrawal limit

When I reached the withdrawal limit of $5, I tried to redeem a gift card, but a message appeared saying there was a technical error and to contact support. When I contacted them, they said the error occurred because I hadn't verified my phone number via a verification message. I did verify it, and my account was under review for 24 hours. After the review ended, I tried again, but the same error message appeared. When I contacted support again, they didn't respond. So how can I be sure they aren't scammers or fraudsters, or why are participants being treated this way?

Do you have no morals? You took a week to respond to my review, and now you won't reply to my emails when I try to contact you. You are merely affiliates of Prime Insight—a reputable company; how on earth does it allow you to work for it?

I’m enjoying this site

I’m enjoying this site. Have the app on my iPhone and iPad and also use it on my laptop. There are a few surveys I don’t get selected for, but that’s normal on all survey sites. Otherwise a good way to make a bit of extra money and have not had any problem with getting paid. I tend to claim in multiples of£10.

One of the better Survey companies out there

I have used Five Surveys for a while. They never asked me for more than my email. (At least I think so) I have so far cashed out $45 dollars from doing around 50 surveys. There are a few screenouts and they are definitly making more money than you are but its a lot better that grinding to $20 and then finding out you need to give them your ID. Would recommend

Tried and Failed - 100% Scam

Completed five surveys, verified my phone number, and met every requirement, yet I was blocked from cashing out with no explanation. Total waste of time, zero transparency, zero accountability. Do not trust this platform.

They are scam site and loot peoples earning

I joined there website and I did survey very carefully and honestly. After completing every survey I earned a reward of $5 and when I tried to claim it, they say technical error please contact support. I have tried several time contacting their support and open a ticket. But there was no response from their community support. They are just looting people and they are hard-working money.

Complete waste of time

When you initially start completing surveys, they offer a plethora of good survey. Once you get to the last survey in order to cash out, suddenly all the surveys screen you out, or there’s “no more surveys at this time”.
I would NOT recommend this site!

They neither process payments nor respond to messages. After reaching 5 pounds, I requested payment and received an error message. I contacted support, but they didn't answer. This is a despicable website; they have no regard for their users. Their efforts seem to be a loss. Shame on them!

They don't pay higher rewards due to "tracking issue"

I've reached a higher rate reward playing a game that was on their partner list. As soon as I reached a level that should have paid me £20, suddenly there was a tracking issue and they refused to pay. I've contacted their support chat (which is just AI), they just kept repeating the same. Do NOT use this app!!!!

Five Surveys is a bait and hook but nonetheless scam

My daughter referred me to this app and said if you complete five surveys you get $5. Sounded simple enough so I signed up. I spent about 2+ hours completing the five surveys (after more than half "timed out" or said "you're not eligible" or plain out had a broken survey link halfway through 🙄). After I completed all five surveys, I went to cash out my $5... instantly got hit with "your account is under review" and was unable to cash out!!! I instantly contacted support and they assured me that my account would be "fixed within a couple hours" and it was just a precaution to make sure I was a human and not some bot. I stated that they obviously now know I am a human and I even sent a copy of my driver's license as a form of identity verification. Here it is several days later, they are refusing to contact me back or respond to my inquiries or help tickets. They refuse to fix my account and refuse to allow me to cash out my earned $5, yet they are getting paid way more than I am for the work I PUT IN AND COMPLETED. This entire app is a scam. They reel you in and yes, you may get out with $5 the very first time but after that, it's impossible to earn any more and your account will likely get flagged and frozen as well. It happened to my daughter too after the first five surveys she did and after she cashed out the first time. They are also refusing to respond to her help tickets and inquiries for help. TOTAL SCAM OF AN APP.

Really upset and disappointed with this…

Really upset and disappointed with this site… they offer £5 for doing 5 surveys and I completed 4 which took a while but with ease and as soon as it got to the 5th I have been disqualified from every single 1 I’ve tried, and I’ve attempted well over 100 over several weeks on different day at different times! Obviously given up now as it’s pretty obvious they just don’t want to pay me the £5.

You are so poor to response

I recently received a notification that I am unable to take surveys until March 5, 2026 due to recurring complaints about the quality of my responses. I would like to clarify that I did not intentionally do anything wrong.
The only issue that may have caused this was that I mistakenly opened three surveys at the same time in different browser tabs, and I completed them. I was not aware that opening multiple surveys simultaneously could affect my account status. This was an honest mistake, not an attempt to violate any rules.
I always try to provide genuine, thoughtful, and high-quality responses. I truly value your platform and would never intentionally compromise survey quality.
I kindly request you to please review my account again and consider reactivating it. I assure you that I will strictly follow all guidelines moving forward and will complete only one survey at a time.
Thank you for your understanding and support. I look forward to your response.

I already mailed them(help@fivesurveys com) in 19 th February, but they didn't reply it .
So you should leave them cause they don't response to the users.

The worst survey app

The worst survey app. It will take you days if ever at all
To reach 5 surveys because either:
-You’ll answer all the questions and just as the survey should credit you, it will screen out!
OR
-you don’t qualify for any other survey or keep
Screening out even when not 1 question is answered.

In the time I’ve tried to “get” 5 surveys I earned £22 on eureka(2 days), so don’t waste your time here!!

Control

They may not control the surveys but they do control how many surveys you can enter. They will get paid for the surveys you complete so when you finish number five they have to pay out to you. What I noticed is that you have plenty of choice of surveys till you have finished four then number five takes days.

Absolute scam!

Absolute scam!
Multiple surveys that gather your information by letting you get 80% plus through and then suddenly screening you out.
Then finally I did get through a survey to 100% and it didn't credit. Raised it with a support ticket only to be told that the survey did an error at completion so I won't get credit because they haven't been paid.
Total waste of time, there are much better survey sites out there which actually credit you. This lot are just a bunch of scammers and then say oh not our survey not our responsibility. Basically they are the middle man who take all the profit and don't care at all about the people doing the work.

What happened!!!!

Would have been 5 but they started screening me out of every survey, I’ve made a decent amount of money maybe 40 or 50 bucks with an occasional screen out, now I’ve been at it for over a hour and can’t even get past the qualifying stage to even start the survey before getting screened out, I’m half a survey away from 5$, if I ever get it I’m done with the sight
