SurveyHoney Review – A Deep Dive

With the global Coronavirus pandemic having placed literally millions of people among the ranks of the unemployed, nobody could blame you for trying to find novel and creative ways to make money while stuck at home.

A way to do this is by taking online surveys and being paid by companies to share your opinions and experiences with them.

One such company is SurveyHoney. This is a company that is fairly new in the world of market research, but they have proved to be legitimate and safe to work with.

You may be asking, ‘What exactly is SurveyHoney, and how does it work?’ In this review, we will answer these questions and explain how you can make a bit of money from the comfort of your couch while lounging around in front of the TV.

What is SurveyHoney?

SurveyHoney.com is a website that does market research for companies who need information about your shopping habits and your lifestyle so that they can market their products effectively. In order to find their correct target market, these businesses need to know lots of stuff about you, and they hire companies like SurveyHoney to find that out for them.

But why would anyone want to share their personal opinions about what fast food they like, or how many hours of television they watch per week? This is why market research sites like SurveyHoney are called Get-Paid-to sites, or GPT sites.

SurveyHoney will send you a survey to complete, and in exchange, they will reward you with a small payment. BUT… a word of caution, it is a really small payment. Do not think you have stumbled across a hidden goldmine here. You haven’t. This kind of ‘work’ will never replace your real job. At best, you can make a little bit of pocket money off it to treat yourself occasionally.

How Does SurveyHoney Work?

With SurveyHoney, you get paid to answer questions in surveys of varying lengths. They have some very big clients, which endorses their legitimacy.

To start off with, you have to register with the site and then complete your profile. According to the information on their website and their app, you will be paid to complete your profile after you have signed up.

Once you have given them the information that they ask for during the signing up process (which will only take a few minutes of your time), they will match up surveys to your profile, so that they can try to only send you surveys that are relevant and applicable to you.

For every survey that you complete and submit, you will be awarded a certain number of points, known as HoneyCoins. Apparently, the amount of HoneyCoins per survey depends on the length of the survey, and the amount of detail that is required. But their website does not contain any information about how much you can expect to earn for each survey that you take.

There are many other Get-Paid-To sites where you can earn rewards not only for taking surveys, but also for engaging in other activities, such as watching videos, playing video games, and receiving promo codes. Unlike those sites, with SurveyHoney the only way to earn money is by taking their surveys and through referrals.

When you sign up, you are given a personal referral link. By using this link to refer friends, you can make a few extra HoneyCoins. You will earn 10% of whatever your referral earns in all surveys that they complete and submit.

With SurveyHoney you can filter your requests for surveys, in order to find the highest paying surveys. The site also allows you to customize your notifications so that you can choose when you want to receive those notifications.

Once you have collected a certain amount of points, you can cash out and receive your payment through PayPal. We found it a little annoying that nowhere on their website does it actually specify what the cash out threshold is.

If you choose to leave at least 20% of your earnings in your account, you will be paid faster.

The site offers ‘hotspots’, where they will tell you when is the best time to take a survey and earn more HoneyCoins.

SurveyHoney encourages its participants to be active on a daily basis. They conduct polls through which you can earn extra HoneyCoins by casting your vote every day.

They have monthly prize draws, and you will be eligible for these if you take part in 10 or more daily polls.

Is SurveyHoney A Legitimate Way To Make Money?

Yes, it definitely is legitimate and safe. Unfortunately, there are many similar websites that are not legitimate. A lot of them are fraudulent operations that are cleverly designed to prey on the vulnerable and steal from you.

Signing up to SurveyHoney is not only free, but they will in fact reward you with a certain number of HoneyCoins for signing up. Many of the scam sites demand a registration fee for joining. This should be a red flag and is a clear indication of a scam.

SurveyHoney has a clearly visible privacy policy on their website. In this privacy policy, they undertake not to share your private personal information with anyone, and not to sell that information to any other party.

Many supposed GPT sites do not have a privacy policy in place. Those sites are usually scams that aim to steal your identity and use your information to defraud you.

SurveyHoney assures you that all survey responses are conveyed anonymously, and your identity will not be revealed.

Who is SurveyHoney For?

SurveyHoney is for anyone who has a little bit of free time and can spend a few minutes filling out a survey and answering a few questions.

It is the perfect way to make a little bit of extra money on the side, without putting in much effort. The surveys are not too long, and won’t take up huge chunks of your time.

Do you have a long and sometimes boring commute by train to get to work every day? If so, you can turn that commute into cash by using the time to take a survey.

Do you enjoy spending time surfing the internet and playing around on the World Wide Web? Turn that playtime into earnings by taking a survey.

Who is SurveyHoney NOT For?

If you are looking for a ‘get rich quick’ scheme, then SurveyHoney is not for you. The amount that you can earn is never going to be enough to be able to retire and just spend your day taking surveys and referring friends.

What We Like About SurveyHoney

There are quite a few things that we like about SurveyHoney. The most important thing is that it is clearly a legitimate site with no shady hidden agenda.

With many of these sorts of companies, once you have signed up you are constantly bombarded with emails and notifications. Your phone doesn’t stop pinging and it can drive you a little bit crazy. We like the fact that with SurveyHoney you can customize your notifications, and you can choose when you want to hear from them.

We also like the feature that allows you to filter your survey searches, and find the surveys that offer the highest rewards.

What We Don’t Like About SurveyHoney

As appealing as SurveyHoney may sound to you, we do still have some reservations about them.

We don’t like the fact that they do not show anywhere on their website how much their cashout threshold is. Nobody wants to spend weeks and weeks taking surveys, trying to build up enough of a credit to be able to cash out.

Many other GPT sites offer various ways to earn rewards. It can be really cool to sit around and play video games, and then get paid for having fun. You can also watch videos, which admittedly are usually adverts, and then claim a few reward points.

Sadly, SurveyHoney doesn’t offer these opportunities. The only way to earn HoneyCoins is by completing and submitting surveys, and by referrals. We don’t like the fact that their offerings are so limited.

Review Summary

If you are looking for a way to make a little bit of extra cash in your spare time, SurveyHoney is a legitimate and easy way to do that.

The SurveyHoney website is easy to navigate, and they also have a mobile app that you can download to your smartphone. This makes it easy to use those brief periods when you would otherwise be sitting idle, to make a few extra dollars here and there.

If you want to increase your opportunities to earn money, you may want to consider joining one or two other GPT sites in addition to SurveyHoney.
