I never received the reward via email. (Yes I checked spam and junk folders. ) I contacted them for support. They have contes Ted their support to a third party company who required me to create an account just to communicate with them. They must have been foreign because their English was very bad. They told me they resent my reward. Again, it was never received. I contacted them again. They resent it AGAIN. I did get this email from them. But when I opened the reward certificate it was no good. It said it has expired? This all occurred within the same month so it should not have expired. Then I got a message telling me to delete the app because they were no longer going to be an app with Apple. Yet, I still find them in the App Store. Interesting. I would ask Apple to investigate this company. I’ve spent months doing surveys for them for nothing that was promised. ### 5/5 — Free money is always good. *2022-10-21, version 2.2.1* I’ve had this app a long time. Glad to see they don’t give out items instead of points anymore. I have noticed a drastic drop in surveys. I use to get at least one a day back in the day. Now I’ll get maybe 2-3 a week if I’m real lucky. The higher your saved point total is the slower you’ll get surveys, at least that’s what i have noticed. ### 3/5 — Receiving my rewards card. *2022-09-05, version 2.2.1* I've been using survey mini for several years in the past I redeemed for rewards cards and I had no problem. This time around, I redeemed it for the maximum of the $50 rewards card and I get have not received the card. I also sent them a message but they told me that the app has been updated and reroute my concerts. I received an automated response but I'm still waiting for the card if anybody out there knows how to connect with them easier to get this done sooner that would be great! ### 5/5 — Super simple *2022-06-12, version 2.2.1* These surveys are based on places that you have actually been. It does take awhile to accumulate points but it is super easy with short surveys. Some free points are given along the way. I have still gotten the hundred points when I answered “no” if I visited a business. I rated this app 5 stars because of the courtesy and free points that are given and because you do qualify for every survey. ### 4/5 — Over all pretty good app r *2022-03-20, version 2.2.1* I’ve had the app for a while redeem a chic fil a card once , I was off the app for a while ( couple months ) without taking a survey and 47,345 points they took them COMPLETELY off I wrote them they did respond say I been inactive so once I take another survey they will return the points …… well it took forever for a survey to even pop up once it did I took it and sent them another message saying I completed a task a few days later they did return all the points so over all everything worked out . I also think I’m not getting nearly as much surveys as I once was. ### 5/5 — Works great *2022-02-22, version 2.2.1* It’s a slow process but it’s free money! I’ve had this app for several years, back when they mailed out the gift cards, and it’s been working great! I’ve gotten several gift cards. Can’t wait to cash out my next one! I’m going for a $50 gift card. Make sure your location is always on! For some reason my location went off. I’m not sure if it was after an update but I noticed I wasn’t getting any surveys. Sure enough I checked and had to turn it on again. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2022-02-07, version 2.2.1* I’ve been using this app for several years now. I was getting multiple surveys a week and have been saving my points for awhile now. I had to upgrade my phone and since I installed the app on my new phone my surveys have pretty much stopped appearing on my phone. My location is finder is showing that it’s on. I’m just wondering why I haven’t been getting any new surveys since I reinstalled the app on my new phone. ### 4/5 — Legitimate app that pays *2021-12-04, version 2.2.1* I have used this app for years and they always pay. If it shows a gift card that you are eligible to claim then there is no doubt that you will get it when you cash out. The only negative is that when I first began using the app I got a lot more points for the surveys but now I get 100 points for each survey and it takes 25,000 points for a $25 gift card so it does take awhile. That being said, the surveys are fairly quick. If you do not respond to the survey fast enough it will disappear so make sure that you do them when you get home or settled for the day. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2021-11-17, version 2.2.1* This app is only good in certain areas horrible because I already leave my reviews on platforms where I guess it matters. This app should give options because I am one that shops all the time all over leaving useful reviews for people whether it locally or internationally, or in other parts of the country. One example is my last road trip , which me and husband found tired some because the drive was beautiful but quick road trips are not what they used to be, anyway I dropped my daughter in Alabama for school and we set off for New Orleans and omg photos of sky were priceless but doing a drop off and going on wore us out. Any who best food I’ve had in New Orleans is Old Nola Cookery. We tried the crab cakes and Cajun duck with the crawfish and he had gumbo, needless to say best part about road trip, to die for for can road trip too ate there the whole time and the grilled oysters from the gulf, I have been to multiple places and have not been able to replicate them and yes they road tripped home too. I said all that to say this, expand your local use in cities with places we are nearby because more than likely we’ve been there and can give feedback I don’t know if you need today or just an overall experience be open to change, thanx. ### 1/5 — Support Is Nonexistent *2021-06-06, version 2.2.0* The support system has changed. I have written at least 6 messages to them without a response. My app is updated and I submitted my inquiry via the app. I even tried to piggyback off of an old reply that they sent to me in 2019 just to get my question answered after months of not receiving a response. I received an auto response telling me that the box is unmanned and to submit my inquiry via the app and to ensure that I was using the latest version. I have done this now many times and I am using the latest version. I only had one question. I wanted to know if the Apple / iTunes gift card listed for redemption has been converted to the new Apple Gift card - that has the ability to be used for everything. It took me years to accumulate 48,000 points and I want to redeem it for the Apple Card only if it is the new card. I don’t know if they have the new card in stock for the $50 value cards or still using the ok’d iTunes cards. No one has replied back to me. It has been months since I initially asked. I have no way of knowing if I will even receive a gift card if I can ever get my question answered and I have no faith in them for resolving an issue at this point. I am now thinking that I may have wasted my time for years now in doing these surveys. ## Frequently asked questions about SurveyMini ### What does SurveyMini do?
