Norstat Review
I've been using Norstatpanel for two years now, and I've had barely any problems. Obviously, the daily surveys don't pay much (around 10 cents per minute), but sometimes you get invited to larger projects where you can earn much more. You can't exchange your coins for money, only for coupons, but that has worked great for me.

Did not pay
I created an account , made history and earned coins but all of sudden , they blocked my account. When I asked from them why then they replied "you did not meet the quality" , it was surprising answer as if I was not meeting the quality so how they blocked me after years , not in the beginning , afterwards , they stoppled replying.
So for me , they have some hidden intentions behind , can not say exatly but might be stealing individual information , sending malware etc or something else.
They should be honest with thier users. If they will keep doing this, dont think so , people will spent their time and at the end, they will have nothing by having thier account blocked without any valid reason.

Total scam! Don't waste your time
Total scam the giftcard doesn't download! I've wasted so many hours answering surveys and gained enough coins to convert to a £15 giftcard...but unfortunately when it came to downloading it the site just freezes! I contacted surport and they asked for a screenshot which I sent to them and now I'm just being ignored.

Account frozen
Signed up via an Instagram ad, seemed like an interesting concept and was eager to get started, created an account and went to bed, woke up to my account being frozen and when I contacted support they simply said frozen due to irregularities in data, no further explanation or clarity. Don't waste your time with this service.

They don't pay out on paid research
Enjoyed doing the surveys, managing to get 10€ gift card to use in their store. However, I did a paid survey, which was a week long, so it took up quite a bit of my time, and then never got paid for it after sending them numerous emails. Their last response was that there was a delay in payments, which was 8 weeks after I'd finished the research.

Hi Robyn,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We're pleased to hear that you've generally enjoyed participating in our surveys, but we're sorry to learn about your experience with the paid research study.
We completely understand why this would be frustrating, especially when the study required a significant time commitment and you have been waiting for a resolution for several weeks.
If you have not already done so, we would encourage you to contact our French support team at support-fr@norstatpanel.com so they can review your case in more detail and look into the status of your payment.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us 😊
Kind regards,

Scam
Scam. Account frozen without any reason. When you try to *remember your password* nothing happens, so account was just deleted. Do not use!

They froze my account with no warning…
They froze my account with no warning over apparently a survey discrepancy which i have no idea about when i emailed to appeal this all i got was the info about the discrepancy and nothing else about what was going to happen with my account which is really annoying as i have coins in there that i was just about to transfer to my back. Makes me think this app is a SCAM. DO. NOT. USE. they just want to use you without giving anything at all

Hello Sorcha,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be to have your account frozen unexpectedly, especially when you had coins on your account that you were planning to redeem.
If you have not already done so, we would encourage you to contact our support team again and include information about the coins that were still on your account, so they can review your case and provide further clarification.
Kind regards,

Thank you for your patience, and we wish you all the best with your future surveys.

Complete waste of time
Complete waste of time. Nicotine products got sent out for a two week survey. I filled out the diary entrances everyday for the first week then the survey wouldn’t load. I contacted the company numerous times explaining that I couldn’t complete the second week of the survey and got no response.
It was supposed to be a payed trial for 2 weeks to recieve £60. I invested time trying their products and reviewing them for a week for nothing.

Hi Hannah - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
We are truly sorry to hear how frustrating this situation has been, especially after the time and effort you put into the study.
We understand how disappointing it must have been when the survey stopped loading during the second week and you were unable to get the help you needed despite reaching out multiple times.
We have looked into your case internally, but unfortunately we have not yet been able to locate your previous contact with support or identify the study from the information available. We are continuing to investigate this further.
In the meantime, we kindly ask you to contact our support team again and include as many details about the study as possible, so we can look into this properly and help you further. Please contact support-uk@norstatpanel.com.
We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to find a solution asap.

They don't pay for diary/live studies😒
After i completed a diary study of 20 pounds, they didn't pay me. It's been over 2months now. I also completed an 80 Euro live study, still no payment. They take forever to reply to their emails and when they do, they will just keep you hanging. Tried to login into my account just now and it's saying "Account Frozen".What a waste of time and energy. Please send my dairy vouchers to my email, you've held that money long over due.

This company is stuping to a new level when allegedly reaching out to me after my last poor review and offering to help only to be unreachable and not responding to my emails and still having not sent the vouchers they promised after my doing nearly 2 years of surveys for them........a complete scam and waste of time.

Muddled and chaotic back office. Avoid this Company
Everything works fine until you try to redeem your points voucher. They send you through a minefield of different hoops just to get to the right landing page. Then they check your email as a security check, and after this you need a security check to check your security check. When you get past that nonsense, you have to go through some more hoops and security checks. Finally, you get to click on a link that lets you view the voucher, (mine was for Sainsburys), and this sends you to yet another link. When I landed on this page, a message appeared that confirmed that no such voucher existed on their database. There is a link for customer service which requires...of course... a security check. In the end I cancelled the account, as I think I will die before I am paid out this pittance.

Hi Geoff - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience
We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this process has been for you. That’s definitely not the experience we want our panelists to have, especially when it comes to redeeming rewards you’ve earned.
We understand how confusing and disappointing it must feel to go through several steps only to end up with an error message regarding your voucher. That shouldn’t happen, and we completely understand why you chose to step away.
Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will make sure it is shared with the relevant team so we can improve both the redemption process and the overall user experience.
We truly appreciate the time you’ve spent with us and are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations in this case.
Kind regards

I don't understand anything
I don't understand anything. I've been trying to redeem 100 Norstat Coins for 10 days and it's impossible. When I make the purchase, I always get two messages: the first time it says it's awaiting review and to wait 48 hours, and the second time it says it's pending review. I can't get out of this loop. I've contacted them through the website help and the support email, and in 10 days they haven't given me any response. I don't understand. These are the messages:
Your transaction is temporarily on hold for a standard quality review. We regularly review survey responses to ensure fairness and accuracy. This process usually takes up to 48 hours, after which you can redeem your coins as usual. Thank you for your patience!
Your purchase is pending approval. You will receive an email once it has been approved.

Account deactivated without notification or justification.
After many years and VIP level my account was deactivated without notice. No replies to emails asking for reason. I am also owed £25 from them for completing the Bavora drinks diary for which they would have been paid.

Appalling company. Freeze your account regularly, do not advise, then up to you to unfreeze. Closed my account without informing me after many years satisfactory input. Why? My brain works too quickly, I fill in surveys faster than others. They have stolen my earnings. Avoid this company at all costs ....Robbers.

As this seems to be the only way to get…
As this seems to be the only way to get any communication back from Norstat- over 2 weeks ago I completed a week long drink diary for the company Bevora who were paying £25 for this. I was told I would receive the incentive a couple of days after completion. I have not received this and Norstat have not responded to any further messages from me requesting this. I have had to contact Bevora and explain that Norstat are not paying me the incentive and ignoring my requests. Norstat as I'm sure you'll read this, kindly pay me for what I have done as I'm sure your client has already paid you, or I will have to go back to the MRS and complain yet again. It's a little embarrassing for you that I have to go to your client like this because you are seemingly incapable of upholding your end of the deal and compensating your panelists promptly, and I have made sure to let them know you have form for this and they should consider carefully who they use to conduct their research in future.

totally Scam!
totally Scam!! I had collected €30 in my account on Norstatpanel. As soon as I tried to redeem the first part of it through gift cards, my account was immediately frozen. Since then, I have not been able to access my account or withdraw anything.
I have contacted the support team several times, but I have not received any response for more than a month. If this is not a scam, then what is it?

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Having an account frozen or deactivated can understandably be frustrating, especially if you had coins you were planning to redeem.
Account reviews are carried out according to our quality and security procedures, but we certainly do not contact members to pressure them into removing reviews. That is not how we operate.
