This is a legit site, but they ask you questions that they need or want to know for the study and tell you that you aren't qualified so they dont have to pay you.
You already fill out some personal information for your profile that should filter out what you are and aren't qualified for, but no, they want to trick you and have you do the survey for free.
I'm pretty sure this could become a law suit.

I am new to Thrifty Pig. I love surveys, but I can tell you that of all the surveys I've been getting have mostly been from Simpilcio. This company gets your info but does not let you complete. It seems they find their way to all survey sites. They need to be banned. I went to their site to read reviews and I'm not the only one having the problem. I'm going to have to leave if I cant get other surveys. I hope it will get better. I'm not going to try to complete a survey once I see it's from Simpilcio.
For about one year now I am a member and I love working on the surveys while I drink my coffee in the peace of my cabin in the mountains. The secret is not to rush and answer truthfully to each question. I've also earned in my Paypal some cash and as a retire person this is a great reward for me while I share my knowledge with the surveys. The owner / Mary is been very positive to work with and in order to be a member here I had to receive an invitation, so I feel honored to be part of this business.
Thank you, Lucia! I can't tell you how much we appreciate your support and your participation in the panel!

After spending 25 minutes on a survey, definitely collecting my personal information, I was informed I was not to be compensated. I wrote to them, responded quickly, but not willing to compensate me. Don't bother wit this site when there are many legitimate survey companies that value their participants.
I am a new member of Thrifty Pig. I earned my first level to redeem a gift card and decided to do so to be sure it actually worked. I had problems with it and contacted customer service. Unlike other sites of similar nature where I had to wait weeks, I received a solution within 24 hours. Mary was professional, kind, and prompt with a successful result. I highly recommend this fun way of taking surveys.
I must say I had some concerns and doubts initially but customer service is great if they called me in the mist of an issue I was having so they are very alert and this is a great
Thank you, Braxston! We are so appreciative of your participation in the panel and support of our business. Mary
I was minding my own business when this site invited me by mail to become a member about 2 months ago. I accumulated some points for completing my profile and they supposedly offer a 5-dollar payout upon accumulating 500 points but this is far outweighed by the negatives. Most of the time I've spent taking their surveys, I have either ended up being disqualified or finishing a survey only to be rerouted to another survey.
Many weeks ago, I spent at least 20 minutes taking a survey before screening out. Finally, I just spent a long time taking a survey and completing it but not being credited for it and thus earning any points for my toil.
Each point you earn is worth 1 cent - and you only earn on surveys you qualify for. Too much of your info you must give up for too little in return. Pass
I have used many such companies and Thrifty Pig pays very fast and is easy to use. I recently began to just use Thrifty instead of others. Wish there were more surveys but that is not their fault.
