Survey Junkie is an online market research platform that connects users with companies seeking consumer opinions through paid surveys. Founded in 2013 and operated by DISQO, the platform offers a variety of ways to earn rewards, including participating in online surveys, focus groups, product testing, and sharing browsing data via the Survey Junkie Pulse program. Users earn points for each task completed, which can be redeemed for cash via PayPal, direct deposits, or gift cards. The minimum payout threshold is 500 points, equivalent to $5, making it accessible for small, frequent cashouts. Survey Junkie’s user-friendly interface provides a seamless experience, and members can browse surveys directly or receive email notifications for new opportunities. While it’s not designed to replace a full-time income, it offers a flexible way to earn extra cash during downtime, such as while waiting in line or watching TV. With a strong reputation for reliability and transparency, it remains a popular choice for those seeking supplemental income through online surveys.

To qualify for Survey Junkie, users must be at least 13 years old (or 16 for residents of California) and reside in one of the eligible countries—currently the U.S., Canada, or Australia. Signing up is free, and participants are required to fill out a profile with basic demographic details to match them with relevant surveys. Accuracy and consistency in responses are essential, as this ensures eligibility for surveys and maintains access to other opportunities like focus groups and product testing. Participants also have the option to install Survey Junkie Pulse, a browser extension that passively collects data on digital behavior, offering additional points. To redeem rewards through PayPal or direct deposit, users must verify their email and, in some cases, phone numbers. Staying active on the platform by completing at least one survey annually ensures that earned points remain valid and do not expire.
