Today, we’re diving deep into Survey Junkie, a popular survey site that promises to help you earn some extra cash. I’ll be sharing my personal experience, breaking down how it works, who it’s for, and whether you should give it a try.

Getting Started with Survey Junkie

First things first, signing up for Survey Junkie is straightforward. You need to provide your email address and create a password. Make sure you’re at least 18 years old and reside in the United States, Canada, or Australia. After signing up, you can start taking surveys right away.

My 9-Hour Experience

To give you a comprehensive review, I dedicated 9 hours to taking surveys on Survey Junkie. Here's a breakdown of my earnings:

Hour 1: $1.79

Hour 2: $1.83

Hour 3: $1.18

Hour 4: $0.86

Hour 5: $1.68

Hour 6: $1.60

Hour 7: $1.75

Hour 8: $1.92

Hour 9: $1.80

In total, I earned $14.41 over 9 hours. This averages out to roughly $1.60 per hour, quite lower than my previous 3-hour test. 

Survey Variety and Points System

During my 9-hour stint, I took a variety of surveys. These ranged from short “get to know you” surveys worth a few points to more substantial surveys worth up to 95 points. There are even surveys valued over 200 points, though I didn’t qualify for those during my test. The platform clearly displays how many points each survey is worth and the estimated time to complete, which helps in choosing the best ones to maximize your earnings.

Cashing Out

Survey Junkie offers several payout options, including gift cards to popular retailers, PayPal transfers, Visa gift cards, and direct bank transfers. I opted for a bank transfer. I actually chose a bank transfer because I wanted to get all of my reward which was $14.41, so after selecting this option, I received a verification code via email, entered my banking details, and my earnings were in my bank account within two days. The minimum cash-out amount is 500 points, equivalent to $5, making it relatively easy to withdraw your earnings.

Tips for Maximizing Your Earnings

1. Check Your Emails: Survey Junkie often sends invites to guaranteed point surveys and bonus events. Keep an eye out for these opportunities.

2. Look for Yellow Survey Tiles: These are top match surveys for you and typically offer higher points.

3. Enable Data Sharing: By enabling data sharing or installing the Survey Junkie extension, you can earn additional automatic points each month.
