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.

Beyond awful since Dec 2025

Beyond awful since Dec 2025. They let you get to the end before suddenly an error occurs. They are one to avoid now. Too many screen outs as well, totally frustrating to deal with now!

Balance withheld and repeated tracking failures

I completed app offers through Five Surveys on 12 February 2026 with tracking enabled, but the offer failed to track. This has now happened twice.

Support confirmed they cannot credit the offer due to “technical issues.”

More concerning, I have an existing earned balance of £2.61 which they refuse to release unless I reach their £5 minimum payout threshold. They have also refused to escalate my complaint or provide a proper resolution.

This means legitimately earned funds are effectively being withheld unless I continue using the platform.

Very disappointing experience.

Update 22 Feb
I have already contacted your support team multiple times regarding this matter and received repeated template responses refusing credit and refusing escalation.

I will email again as requested, but I expect a meaningful resolution rather than another repetition of the same response.

Update 22 Feb
I have repeatedly completed tasks on the FiveSurveys app, but have not been credited.
Support continues to provide template responses, refuses manual payout of current earned balance of £2.61 to my PayPal, ignores requests for management escalation, and has not acknowledged my GDPR / Subject Access Request.
This is the second time the same technical issue has caused my earnings to be withheld.
I will now be escalating this matter further to the ICO for GDPR compliance and to UK consumer protection authorities regarding withheld funds.
I hope FiveSurveys resolves this fairly, but the issue remains unresolved.

Many surveys fail to credit

Unfortunately Surveys repeatedly fail to credit.
Five Surveys say that they only host the surveys and are not responsible for the survey provider’s actions when the survey fails to credit
The surveys they host regularly stop
Working or screen you out even when you have completed the whole survey. So you can spend a lot of wasted time not being credited.
In my view Five Surveys need to give the survey provider’s set criteria for screening out or failed surveys due to technical issues instead of telling their users bad luck there is nothing we can do about it
They should start charging the survey providers and crediting the users so that the survey providers have an incentive to improve their systems because at the moment their system is very unfair

As you can see from the reply below Five Surveys just respond with a standard reply which they have used all over this website. They have no concerns for the users of the website or any intentions to improve the experience

Impossible to get to completed 5 surveys

Have been on this survey site for weeks and find it impossible to get to the five completed surveys. Spend at least an hour each day trying to complete surveys and always do not qualify or start and then it shuts down on me. Don’t understand how some people manage to make hundreds of pounds! I can’t get to my first Five!

Withdrawal blocked after large reward – support stopped responding

I have been using Five Surveys for a while and successfully withdrew rewards many times before (around $300 total).
Recently, I completed a large game offer (Signal) worth $345 after playing for more than two months, including spending my own money in the game. The reward was pending for several days and then was credited into my balance.
However, when I tried to withdraw as usual, I received the message:
“User is not reward eligible.”
Since then, I have been unable to withdraw any amount, even small rewards.
I contacted support multiple times. They repeatedly responded with generic messages like “we are reviewing” but provided:
No case number
No clear status (approved/pending/denied)
No timeframe for resolution
Eventually, support closed the interaction without resolving the issue.
This experience has been extremely frustrating, especially after completing a long offer and having the reward added to my balance but being blocked from cashing out.
I have screenshots of my balance, the error message, and the support conversation.
I am posting this review to warn others and to request a clear resolution.
-------------
Update:
-------------
I have been waiting for over a month now regarding a withdrawal issue of $361 (including $345 from a completed offer).

Despite multiple follow-ups, I keep receiving the same response that my case is under review, with no resolution or timeframe provided.

My account is still blocked from withdrawing and even accessing offers properly.

At this point, it feels like the issue is not being resolved, only delayed.

I am requesting a clear final decision or immediate resolution of my withdrawal.
----------
Update
----------

There has been a change in my account status. The previous error message (“not eligible”) has now disappeared, which suggests the review may have been completed.

However, I am still unable to withdraw. The claim button responds but does not proceed or complete the request.

This appears to be a technical issue that has still not been resolved after several weeks.

I am requesting immediate technical resolution or a clear final decision.

Just yesterday I gave 5 Surveys a glowing review and today I took 3 surveys all the way to the last question and got no credit for completing them! Now I see why the overall rating is so low here, I assume that many others are frustrated with this happening as well.

Good at first, then problems started

At first, 5Survey was good for me and I made around $200. Later, when I still had $50 left, I couldn’t withdraw it anymore. Almost every survey started saying I wasn’t qualified or screened me out immediately. I even opened a new account and updated my details, but nothing changed. It feels like a technical issue with no clear explanation. It worked well at the beginning, but became unreliable later on.

unable to cashout for months even now

for some weird reason i have been unable to cashout for 4 months, well since 2025 really i also tried to be patient but i cannot anymore. this is probably a scam app, not so sure because i've seen some good reviews but i tried to contact support on a different gmail because the one i finished the five surveys on won't let me message support. i think they blocked me after completing the 5 surveys..

Do not go anywhere near this FRAUD…

Do not go anywhere near this FRAUD website.
You always get screened out.
Before you start the actual survey, and when the surveys are completed without any reward.
It is always the same message that you receive,it is not our problem, we don't get paid if you don't get paid.
Anything from 5 minutes to 25 minutes wasted.
It's a who cares attitude on behalf of Five surveys.

This is the second review I’m leaving because I just wanted to make sure it was seen. By other people to warn them and by this scratchy ass company. I was having issues cashing out and I was and still am not able to get a response from anyone. I did everything they told me, verified my account and again emailed them as they told me to do and not a word from them still. I haven’t been able to cash out in a week. Honestly the worst customer service experience I have ever had. It’s insane.

Customer Support

I was actively completing Surveys up until December and then I was constantly screened out and every single time I contacted Support they gave the same generic response! I feel like it’s a technical issue or they flagged my account but either way they don’t seem to care or try to correct the issue! After 2 years I uninstalled and to be honest I think it’s because I’m a top earner! Js I give them NO STARS!!! I do not recommend at all!!!!!

Cannot cashout due to false bans.

I spent 4 hours trying to get to the full 5 dollars to cashout, I put my phone number in and they accepted the review of my account but it wont let my cashout due to a technical error. Ive tried this on many accounts and they all wont let me cashout due to a technical error. This website is a fraud, they make you do surveys just to ban you so you cant cashout. They want to steal your money!!! I would also like to add that support does absolutely nothing. They ignore you the whole time and I havent gotten an email back for 3 months for my other accounts that were banned. All they are gonna do is reply with the same bot message to my review so there is no point. Guys just do not use this app its a complete scam with fake reviews.
