2.00 magazines
October 2, 2020

Is not a scam! Although it would be helpful if the site told clients upfront that the 'free' reward cost $2.00 shipping/handling. There is a wide variety of magazines to choose from and you do not have to pick 4. Pick 1, 2, 3 or 4. When the time comes to renew at the magazine site you will get a card in the mail well in advance of keeping-canceling the subscription and Nobody bothers you about it one way or the other. Like one reviewer says " it is old fashion customer service" Easy peesy. I have gotten this award a few times over the years and nothing about that has changed. In our world of uncertainty it is good to know somethings are still 'normal' Think about how much a subscription for Readers Digest or Time magazine charges. And you only pay the $2 S&H. It is the best reward out there.

Devious and underhanded
September 18, 2020

The amount of information you need to provide upfront in their survey for the "$100 reward" is unsettling. You're giving away so much more than this "reward" is worth, and you still have to agree to subscribe to magazines (and pay for them) to get it. Who wants to pay for magazine subscriptions? EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET THAT IS AVAILABLE IN A MAGAZINE. Total garbage scam. Don't trust them or give them a single byte of info.

Wow! The customer Service representative, Jane Miles, with whom we spoke today, guided my wife and I through the world of ceiling fans to get the best product for us and our needs! Jane spent time with us examining the specs and details. She was knowledgeable, informative and consistently patient with us and our questions, all of which resulted in us purchasing highly-rated ceiling fans for our beautiful new home.
Thank you again, Jane! We truly appreciated your knowledge of the products and the careful attention to detail to paid.

Misleading liars
June 22, 2020

The dangle a carrot in front of you and claim that it's value is $100. All you got to do is fill out the survey. Turns out it's a bunch of magazines subscriptions that are renewing. Shame on you BizRate minus respect. You're disgusting. Tell the truth upfront gain respect.

Waste of time.
June 21, 2020

They say "you'll be great for this survey" and 10% in or so it says you're not a good fit but here is another survey only to get a little ways into that and be told its not a good fit again. This happened about a half a dozen times before gave up. Seems like a scam or data mining maybe. I would stay away, I have to dump my email now.

I ordered a product from bodybuilding.com

These $#*!s promised a 25$ card or raffle or whatever If I completed it. Well I can't move forward without subscribing to 4 magazines and playing yearly subscriptions. They even greyed out the skip button. Quit wasting my time you low life $#*!s...

I joined and have a total of 1800 points. I have taken too many surveys that end with "Unfortunately, you did not qualify for this survey." I did my part, and should have been compensated for my time invested, or, at least told not to bother because I don't qualify. $5 gift card for 5000 points I may never be able to complete, maybe after about 24 hrs. Of wasted time. I will unsubscribe to this scam!

Waste of time
January 27, 2020

Spent countless hours answering questions to find out I don't qualify for pretty any surveys ever. It took me a month to get 400 points which I come to find out is 40 cents or something ridiculous. What a scam.

Bait and switch

After promising gift card rewards AND getting the survey completed you are required to order magazines that were not mentioned as part of the deal. JERKS!

Avoid this site If at all Possible and I do mean That!
I'm soo feed up with them I'm done. I have done their Surveys for the past 2 yrs and it has gotten so worse then it was.

I'm still waiting on 2) $5.00 cards that was sent out in September! *IF* you can get someone to answer your Email, and not a auto-bot answering system. I was told my E-Cards were sent to my Gmail account. Nothing was ever received! And I did not get a confirmation like I have before that it was delivered.

I have spent 28,230 hours *Months* of work for them, Some of the Surveys would last up to 48 minutes at a time only to get to 99% completion to be told "I do not Qualify!" ~OR~ "Quota Full" and you get 0.0 Points for all that work, time & effort.

You can't trust this site anymore. They were a Legit Company, Now there a Legit ~Rip-OFF!~

Don't waste your time

This site sucks. I did hours and hours of surveys and all I got is a couple thousand worthless points. I can only redeem 5000 points. I just looked up that all you will get for hours and hours of surveys is $5 gift card with those 5000 points. I wasted my time. It is a scam.

Bizrate as an extension of Jo Malone purchase on their site:. Promise of $100 in "free" merchandise or some such. You give them all of your personal information just short of SSN and at the end you are offered "free" magazines but not so free with a "$2.00 processing fee"! This is a scam at it's finest! You are left wishing you could go back and erase the whole thing. Also, the magazine subscriptions are set up to auto-renew so down the line you will be forced to cancel them or renew at an exorbitant rate. Shame on Jo Malone! A luxury brand associated with a used car dealership mentality company.

Very cheaply made parts
October 11, 2019

I purchased an aftermarket hood for my BMW 325 from PatrsGeek.com and I have to say, it was very cheaply made. I did have a chance to speak with one of their managers and she was actually very professional, no complaints there. My only complaint is that the part itself truly is junk and so this is more of a buyer beware review.

It stinks.
July 14, 2019

No matter how many times I click to do a survey, and answer all the questions, the so-called survey ends by telling me I don't qualify for a survey (even though I'd already answered survey questions!). And it always shows ZERO points, no matter how many surveys I've answered. So they're getting whatever info they're after without giving anything promised in return. I've unsubscribed, and GOOD RIDDANCE.

Tried to correct delivery address with company as I had it wrong. They referred me to fedex with tracking number who would not change it. It had to come from shipping company. Called back to company and the guy told me his guy had been on hold for over half hour doing what I should have done, quit calling as I was tying up his lines, would not listen to me, yelled at me on phone then hung up on me. I would NEVER BUY anything from this company again and that employee needs anger management classes and how to deal with public. Horrible public relations and a rude person. Have lots of friends working on their vehicles and people who repair cars for a living and told them not to buy from this company...

Have pay my money y for useless "reward"magazines. Every time offers me $100 reward for purchase survey. After wasting time I get rewarded with chance to give my CC and pay for some useless magazines or "just" shipping. Pretty sure I would get signed up for that crap automatically and after some time would get charges & be a big hassle even to cancel. It's scam for sure
