Reviews and Complaints

You are 100% correct Bigspot is a scam they harvest your email for solicitation. You could do a check for bigspot scam and a lot of pages come up with a ton of information. Somehow they have a huge marketing campaign so it must be working on some people. Heck they even have a nascar sponsorship. They are not a true online survey company. I have been doing online surveys for well over 5 years and while yes they do not pay well and you will never get rich you can voice your opinion and get some new products to test in your home. Most of the online survey companies pay just like you said 1-5$ per survey. So it is not the money that drives me it is voicing my opinion and testing out new products.

So my 2 cents is yes stay away from Big Spot.
Here is an article i looked at that pretty much says the same http://www.survey-101.com/is-bigspotcom-a-survey-scam-site.html

I earned $98.30 on Big Spot.com and I am not able to claim it. Their web site appears to have gone bust. They do not offer surveys anymore and have removed their payment options. I tried contacting their customer support after about a week I was told I can get the money to my PayPal account. 2 weeks later I have not received anything.

I have earned $98.30 which I can not get. The web site bigspot.com appears to have gone BUST. They no longer offer surveys and have removed their payment options. I tried contacting their customer support and after about a week I was told the money would be transferred to my PayPal account. Still waiting.

I so stupidly signed up to fill out surveys...up the wazoo..to supliment my income...I have yet to recieve 1 cent...such a scam!

Their TV commercial states that you'll be paid to complete surveys and "never pay a fee". VERY misleading. For one, THEY don't charge a fee, but they also don't offer anything at all.

You fill out a form & "get instant access to our FREE database of online survey companies" This "database" is just links to other sites. I gave up on the few surveys I tried because of the catches, like minimums that are hard to reach before you can ever receive any money.

What looked interesting at first were the secret shoppers. The pay looked OK to visit stores and restaurants, but the catch is you only get a summary of the assignment for free. You DON'T get the addresses and CANNOT get the assignment unless you pay a MONTHLY FEE!

A lot of this is not true, yes they do offer you survey companies to join. They also have their own surveys in fact on my other computer I am looking at them there 25 surveys to choose from, and most of them pay from 2 to 3 dollars. You have to accumulate $50 to cash out through pay pal, or $25 dollars to get a amazon gift card.

I too was almost hoaxed into their service. But with little research I knew they were a scam. I am going to share my online survey and experiences and why take them. I am 48 years old and recently suffered a bad accident which left me disabled. The day of discharge from the hospital on the way home I suffered a heart attack (what luck). So now I get a whopping $1700 a month from the government, which is 65 to 75% lower than when I was employed. So I then decided to to research these work at home products. And I have to say I cannot believe the amount of false/misleading crap on the Internet. So after about a month of research and extracting raw data and incorporating it to a spreadsheet I began testing. I started a with exactly 398 so-called free online survey sites for money. I started this approximately mid April, and took my first survey May 21. My current balance and PayPal as of June 16 is $50. My overall balance (including points that I formulated into cash) is $198. Although I do spend approximately 7-10 hours a day. My data (on a spreadsheet) is now formulated in a manner that 8 hours a day, six days a week will generate $300 a month. Not a lot of money, but better than watching reruns of crappy TV. I have narrowed it down to 78 companies, my goal is to have a top 20 that will generate 200-300 dollars a month. If you are interested in the final product reply to this site. I have no website nor do I plan on having one. I probably will share this information via e-mail and will probably pass it on for a small donation (a couple blocks). If you reply we could friend on either Facebook or twitter. But for all you novices you are not going to get rich doing this. I plan on adding a sample on my Facebook account. Good luck, and don't get scammed!

IM GLAD I CHECKED HERE FIRST AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE SITES I CHECKED ON SAY FREE BUT THEY ALL WANTED ACTIVATION FEE OR A BUCK OR TWO FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER. IF YOU DONT SELECT ONE OR TWO OPTIONS IT WONT LET YOU CONTINUE TO DO THE SURVEYS. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT? TO ME THATS NOT FREE AND SO MANY DAYS TO CANCEL OR THEY AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PERSONAL CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD INFO. IF YOU DONT NO SURVEY FOR YOU LOL WHAT BULL...

Wow, am I glad I checked this site before seeking part-time work doing surveys. THANK YOU! I also want to thank the guys that posted some some descent survey jobs. I like to keep busy and be productive @ the same time if I can. I will spread the word about this site...it has been a God Send.

Thank god to everyone here... That I didn't sign up for this B--Sh-t.. Bigspot.com shame on you! Ya'll are making money from people signing up to be apart of something, that we all thought we could make money from! Shame of you again!

FALSE ADVERTISING SHOULD BE ILLEAGEL it allows nothing but bad things to happen so HOPE who ever delivers or allows it gets it BAD !

Yeah, I'm glad i read this too. My friend also said she never has received any money.
What a waste. Rose whatever her name is probably actually a representative for BigSpot.

I don't know if I will try this out. Thanks for all the positive and negative feed back. Every little bit counts. Good luck to everyone. One place that does work, and worked for me is internetceomoms.com. They pay you and very well for your work. So, mommy's try this one out. The downside is that there is a $29 membership fee, and a one time purchase so that you can try out the products before introducing them to any one. So Much luck to you all.

my question is if some are getting paid and some not and certian companies offer incentives in differant way, than why doesn't big spots offer a breakdown in their site to let people know what companies do what. i understand companies don't want their names out there but why not be upfront and tell people which ones pay cash and what ones are lotterys. Why? because bigspots is getting their money from these companys and they would loose some of these customers if they were catorigized because probably 80% wouldn't fill out the surveys to win something

WOW! Talk about False Advertising. I thought this would work, but obviously NOT! What a shame.

I'm glad i read these comments before getting involved. i can't afford to waste time. i need extra income just like everybody out there. sorry for those of you who tried this and it didn't pan out.

I could have spent my time on more productive things.
I have 2 handicapped girls and I was trying to make a better life for them...I am a single Mother...divorced...because my ex-husband could not cope...now I have this crap to contend with!

I am so totally involved as to people like me...that need extra income..so I encourage those that try this...not to...valuable time is wasted for nothing in return!

I have been filling out surveys to give myself income...none of which was posted as you said was true!
I have not recieved one cent...what a scam!

I have been filling out surveys up the yazoo...for many months now and have yet to see 1 cent!

I represent BigSpot.com and rosegrenee is absolutely correct. I apologize for the delay in response to this posting. I want to clarify that we are not out to prey on the American public, we merely provide a free service that connects survey takers with legitimate online panels. You are never charged any fees by us or any of the panels in our listing. One thing to make clear is that each panel is different in their incentives process, some panels actually pay cash, other distribute larger sums of cash, but in a sweepstakes model, and other provide rewards such as gift cards or merchandise.

I am truly sorry that not everyone has the pleasant experience that rosegrenee had, but please do not dismiss consumer research. Consumer research is at the core of what keeps this nations product and service companies innovative and enables them to effeciently deliver products that will be accepted by the general public.
