Question 1

How do you get more points on Survey Junkie?

Accepted Answer

The best way to earn more points is to fill out all of your Survey Junkie profiles. Not only do these pay you points, but they unlock higher paying online surveys.

Question 2

Can I still search privately when SJ Pulse is installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can open a private or incognito browser window to temporarily disable Survey Junkie’s extension.

Question 3

How old do you have to be to use Survey Junkie?

Accepted Answer

You only need to be 18 years old to take surveys on Survey Junkie.

There might be some demographic questions that younger users will need to ask their parents about, like annual income. These kinds of questions are more likely to pop-up in the profiles section.

Question 4

Is Survey Junkie better than Swagbucks?

Accepted Answer

Survey Junkie and Swagbucks are both market research companies, but they’re very different, and I don’t think you can say if one is better than the other. Both sites pay you to take surveys and pay in points, but Swagbucks has even more opportunities to earn points.

You can make money on Swagbucks by:

Completing surveys
Earning cashback for online and in-store shopping
Watching videos
Claiming offers for subscriptions, apps, specific products and services, checking out web content, and more
Searching the web through the Swagbucks Yahoo! powered search engine
Playing games
Installing the Swagbucks browser extension
Using the Swagbucks mobile app to watch video clips and listen to music

The reality is that you don’t have to choose between the two – you can sign up and use them at the same time.

Question 5

Is Survey Junkie safe for bank transfer?

Accepted Answer

Survey Junkie bank transfers are ACH (automated clearing house) transfers that are safe and standard practice for all kinds of apps and side hustles.

Question 6

How long does it take Survey Junkie to pay you?

Accepted Answer

Survey Junkie is one of several survey sites that pay nearly instantly because you can redeem points as soon as your balance hits 500 points. Here’s how long it takes to process each payment type:

Bank transfers take 3-4 business days on average
PayPal takes less than 24 hours
Gift cards are delivered immediately

Question 7

What gift cards can you get from Survey Junkie?

Accepted Answer

Survey Junkie pays in gift cards to Amazon, Target, Groupon, iTunes, Sephora, Starbucks, and Walmart.

Question 8

Can you get kicked off Survey Junkie?

Accepted Answer

Some people give false information to qualify for more surveys, like lying about your gender, race, income, etc. This is a violation of Survey Junkie’s terms and conditions, and you can get kicked off for doing it.

Survey Junkie knows that some people will try to game the system, but you’ll be asked verification questions to make sure all of the info you provide matches up with past surveys. Remember, market research is only valuable to companies if it’s accurate.

Your account can also be deactivated if you go 12 months without taking a survey.

Question 9

Will I get a lot of emails from Survey Junkie?

Accepted Answer

You might – it depends on how many online surveys they can match you with.

What some people do is to set up a dedicated email account just for survey sites. This way nothing will get accidentally moved to your junk folder, and you won’t get overwhelmed with emails going to your regular address.
