So I get an invitation to join, awesome, I'll try it out. You get X amount of points for a survey and X amount gets you a gift card. Doesn't list anywhere how much the gc is for so I answer surveys honestly to try and redeem a gc to see if it's actually worth my time. I take 20 mins of my time answering questions honestly only to kicked out of that one (no points earned) and start another one. This goes on and on until I finally get a chance to redeem a gc, again I have no idea how much it's for just want to see if it makes sense to keep doing. I put in my phone number just to be told it's not a valid #. Um it is literally my phone #. I contact customer service to see what is up...they'll get back to me. I try to make sure my profile has my accurate # and I'm logged out, my password doesn't work. I try to reset numerous times can't get in no email link sent to reset no communication whatsoever until a couple days and customer service said you violated Clint's terms and conditions, we removed your account, you can't redeem rewards and the is non reversible. Like what in the actual f*ck?!?! I log in answer surveys and when I try to redeem my earned award you just kick me out! STAY AWAY PEOPLE, don't waste your time.

I was inly able to complete 1 survey. Got bored one night, so figured I'd do a few. I went thru 10 or more surveys answering my demographic info anywhere from 5 to 10 questions only to get the message I do not meet the criteria. Once you open a bizrate account, they ask you all your demo info. What a waste if time. Deleted my account

They lure you in with something free. Its magazines and you have to pay for them.

The oddest thing about the site is it keeps saying login at the top of the page despite me being logged in.

I did enough surveys to redeem for an Amazon gift card figuring I would only do a few to check if its legit. Its been almost two weeks since I redeemed and I have still yet to receive anything.

I reached out to customer service and I heard nothing back.

This seems more like a scammy data fishing website. Don't use as it will just mine your data.

DONT BUY HERE! I recently worked for over 2 years at a spa tub cover making company. This company is family run by a single owner. One of the reasons I left the company is that the owner lies and commits fraudulent business with the customers. I probably made your cover. Product upgrades are offered, charged, and paid for that do not even exist. The customer has no idea they are paying for a fictitious upgrade.these are on the website. This is unethical and literally stealing from the customer. These can be found on the websites. Vapor barrier we use is 4 mil, and 6 mil. They double up 4 mil for a double barrier. That's It! His site offers standard 4 mil, "double thick" for +$20, "triple thick" for +&29, and "double thick double wrap" fir - $41. These are fictional and do not get done and do not exist. Also foam density He has is 1# and 1.5#. His sites offer 1#, 1 5# and 2#. He got rid of 2 # foam years ago and keeps it in the computer as an option. Stating no customer would ever know. The upgrade on a 2# oversize density is +$277 dollars. He sells 2# upgrades all day to poor unsuspecting customers and people who get 1 5 # get the exact same thing. His sites also talk about oven moisture free foam. That's a lie the foM sits outside a lot of the time getting rained on. The plastic is sealed by hand using a stick to push the air out holes are taped up with box tape. This company acts as two companies as well. Beyond nice.com, and spacoverinc.net. They are the same location and same dirty small shop

Go through survey to get $100 of free stuff just to find out it's magazines and you have to pay $8 processing to get it. What a scam.

Basically spend 10 minutes making a "confidential" review that isnt really confidential. Under the impression you are gettung "up to" 100$ (of course you arent). Then you find out the "reward" is for stuff like a discount on magazine subscriptions and has nothing to do with the merchant you filled out the survey for. Its 2022... Nobody subscribes to magazines. They also collect some pretty intrusive information about you and your household... And they say they dont sell it. Well I made a burner email just for that survey to see what would happen. 2 months later theres dozens of spam emails in there... Bizrate arent scammers, by definition... But by principle, yes, they are scammers.

Bizrate is a partner to Zola, a wedding registery. My elderly & poor-sighted aunt just wanted to send a wedding gift out & was FORCED to pick out 4 magazines she neither wants or can read. Bizrate has her credit card & will bill her for something she didn't ask for. Please stop the shady underhanded moves, Bizrate. You should be ashamed! If your have blackmail people to use your service, what type of service are you?

Buying from an online store, Bizrate offered 4 free mags for 1 yr. Then wanted $2/mag & credit card info

Bizrate, and all of its sub-components ie bizrate rewards-is a scam. I have never been involved with bizrate surveys, I got cought up with them totally by chance and accident. I was shopping on journeys.com looking to buy a pair of boots. While I was shopping a pop up suddenly appeared pushing magazine subscriptions. I thought this was strange, because what do these subscriptions have to do with boots anyway? Or any other clothing item on that site for that matter. I concluded my shopping by purchasing a pair of black patent doc martens boots-order number *******. On checkout there was a weird pop up that said vans. I got an order confirmation, money for boots was removed from my account, and the next morning I recieved a shipping confirmation- again for the boots. Fast forward a week and my journeys package arrived. When I opened it fake sk8-low in classic white vans was inside. My shipping confirmation email showed my boots had been delivered, but all that had come was those fake vans. I was pretty certain that malware/malicious adware on journeys.com had caused this issue. Customer service was not helpful with resolution. They even insisted that all their products are not copy cats in any way. Well- they sent me fake vans, and they came out of their distribution center in TN. It turns out journeys.com uses bizrate on their site. Bizrate is adware, and it caused this whole mess to happen. Bizrate is also a type of survey site-it's kind of strange how journeys.com has such high ratings on bizrate…hmmmm

said my email...
is not real?

REAL LEE?

Need 51 more letters - Site Jabber is stupid* I have to login every time I open up one of the emails!
LOL

The bizrate site itself may be safe, but the surveys the site connects you to are dangerous information gathering scum! Directly after joining up, and going to a couple of surveys, I started getting bombarded with SPAM emails. I am smart enough to delete such, "rewards", emails, but I wasn't smart enough to research bizrate before signing up. In my opinion, just avoid bizrate when it pops up at the end of your online order.

I ordered product from Petsmart.com and got a pop-up message after placing my order asking if I would like to take a survey of how satisfied I was with my purchase through "bizrates" for a chance to win a "$100" gift card. SO here I am, my naive self, sitting here thinking they're talking about a $100 gift card to petsmart and all I have to do is take a survey - No.
I took the survey and they redirected me to a shoddy magazine site saying "Congratulations, You can pick up to 4 MAGAZINES of up to 100 dollar value for FREE!" so I was like dang it, okay fine, I'll take what I can get. I chose 4 that looked appealing to me... BUT THE SCAM DIDN'T BOTHER TO STOP THERE, FOLKS. After choosing my selected four magazines and clicking "continue" it CONTINUED to send me straight to BILLING. That's right, not even so much as a discount! And the total cost in Full of what the magazines actually cost was Not of $100 value, not even close but came to $20 value, so they couldn't even tell the truth from the get go. It was all lies. I doubt the survey even gets seen by the actual companies they say they're doing them for or matter in any way. It's all just a scamming waste of time.

They sent me numerous shipping dates when in reality they were out of stock. I see this is a common issue after reading reviews

I placed an order with E. L. f. Cosmetics to be immediately taken to a Bizrate survey. I was promised $100. At the end of the survey I was offered 4 magazine subscriptions totaling $100. What a scam! I don't need magazines! I need $100

I signed up to take the Bizrate surveys and once I reached 1,650 points every survey came back that I was not a good fit for the survey. Of course, this is after I had already answered questions that could be used in the survey - such as brand preferences or brand knowledge. They have been promising me a $100.00 gift certificate for months as soon as I reach a certain point level. Their emails always start with an offer to do a survey with 1000 plus points, but after a few questions they tell me that survey isn't available but I can take one of 250 points and as stated above as soon as I answer all their questions, I'm told I don't qualify for the survey. I'm calling BS on this. They use the answers, but offer nothing in return.

Best to avoid not only the Bizrate scammers, but also any business that has to use their lousy scams.

I think I got sucked into this survey site because after doing some online shopping, a popup asked me to review my experience. I guess I wasn't paying attention and didn't uncheck the box to join up. At first I thought I would try it and the experience was pretty good at first. I racked up about 1100 points and then I stopped having any success with any of the surveys given to me. I get emails from them about new surveys but upon starting them am told that I don't qualify. It'll find me new ones with the promise of "Based on your profile, you qualify for this survey." Okay, that sounds good. I haven't answered many questions of the new survey when I'm suddenly kicked out and told I'm not a good fit or I don't qualify. So they think I qualify based on my profile, but then I actually don't. And, yes, my profile is pretty much complete, so there's no excuse there. I thought it was fun at first but now it's really off-putting to be wasting my time for nothing. I haven't been able to finish a survey and get compensated for them in months. Not sure what I can do with the 1100 points. I was told a few more surveys can get me an eGift Card. How many more is "a few"? Not sure I want to continue if I'm just never going to be able to successfully complete any of these surveys anymore.
