Misrepresentation for sure. Promising $100 then giving you a selection of magazines and expecting you to put your financial information down for two dollars. Despicable! What a waste of my time! I am so angry!

Bizrate is a scam!
February 24, 2017

Bizrate regularly sends me "750 point surveys"... which they let you get 5-10 min into, and then they say quota has been met and award you 50 points. That's right, it takes 100 surveys like that to get $5! Not doing that again.

After purchasing a $1000 item online at a reputable site, they partnered with Bizrate which offered me a "$100 Reward" for filling out a survey. After giving the survey the offered me 4 magazines, "A $100 Value"; that's fine, I get it, but then they wanted me to pay for "Processing". What a joke! Don't waste your time with this scam.

What a scam
February 17, 2017

This site is totally ridiculous don't wast your time. They will entice you with a few min survey worth say 250 points and ask you about 10 mins. Worth of questions which is most likley the survey. Then one they get the info they were most likely looking for they tell you the surveys quota has been met and give you 50 points for your trouble. Then good luck trying to redeem your point. If you finley take the time to run through the gauntlet of advertisements and who knows what you find out you need at least 5000 point to collect a $5.00 discount on products that you can buy for $5.00 bucks or junk no one would take for free. DON'T WAST YOUR TIME!

Oh and to top it off, I received an email message Error! That my unsubscribe failed to go through! Are you kidding me!

BIzrate is a SCAM!
February 13, 2017

After posting a review of a company vendor, Bizrate offered me magazine subscriptions for $2 ea., which I took. About 4 months later, some magazine I never asked for, charged my credit card for $90 and I had to have the charge declined, which took some time. A few weeks later, ANOTHER magazine charge, so I refuted that charge and got a new credit card # issued. They are nothing more than SCAM ARTISTS.

I went on the Kids Footlocker website and Bizrate popped up. The pop up said fill out this survey and win enter a $25.00 gife card. Once I filled it out they refused to accept my email address. So I filled out a survey for nothing!

Bizrate Fraud on Surveys
January 12, 2017

Bizrate has taken me through multiple questions after clicking "Start Survey" link and then finds out I work in marketing and tells me the survey has hit its quota and gives me 25 points instead of the 1,000 promised. Obviously not true, and if they want to weed people out from the survey they should ask those questions up front. Hey Bizrate, what do you do with the information I've provided you?

Too many times I'm promised 750 pts to complete a survey and halfway through the survey, after getting all kinds of personal info from me, they tell me the survey has too many respondents, thank you for your time and award me 50 pts.

Bummer
October 22, 2016

I completed a Bizrate survey after an online purchase. As a "$25" reward I was offered "free" subscriptions to various magazines, but with some processing charges. Never give these people any personal information or use their services. Beware of Bizrate.

Bizrate is predatory!
September 6, 2016

Our ecommerce company used Bizrate for years beginning about 2001 until we learned that our paying customers were getting a "reward" for completing a survey. We had no idea this was going on until a customer called asking why they needed to give up their CC # since they had just placed an order with us. Customers were hooked into signing up for a worthless services that included an auto-renew. Our Bizrate rep was unapologetic and said "you folks did sign our Terms of Agreement which allows this."

Survey Scam
August 19, 2016

I was solicited to take a survey regarding an on-line purchase I had made. I was offered the "chance for a $25 reward". The "$25 reward" turned out to be only if I subscribed to $25 worth of magazines!

What a scam!

I have been getting magazines from the biz ate survey for years. I just call up the 800 number for The Magazine Center and ask not to be on auto-pay, that way I don't get charged for a full subscription when the year is up. Have never had a problem with my cc being used illegally, or my getting tons of Spam. This is the only way I can afford magazine subscriptions, so I am grateful.

Total BS!
April 12, 2016

Waste my time, capture my email address... only to repeatedly write, "Enter valid email address." I'm betting against the $100.0o prize, but am sure to get some ZBS spam sent to my email! Shame on. Com for partnering with this pissant, lame-$#*! outfit. The 1 rating is too generous... need a 0!

I bought two things online tonight and after each one the bizrate pop-up came up and I took the second one because it was worded as if I took a survey I would be entered to win $100 or something like that. But it's actually just a ruse for you to sign up for magazine subscriptions. That's the prize that's worth "$100"... but they want you to pay the shipping fees for them! DUMB.
