Awsurveys is it genuine? (part-1)

August 06 2008

OK, I start to join this survey today after I found it on a net with someone mentioning they actually receive payment from them. Awsurveys is a type of service where people get to pay for reviewing customer websites.

When I register, I was given a few website to evaluate. I manage to evaluate all and currently had the balance of $27. There are many searches on this Internet that mentions that this site is a scam. At the same time, there are people who blog that they receive payment from awsurveys few times. Minimum to get the payment is $75 and which it is said that they would deduct $25 from your balance when you request payment (from what I understand).

From my current experience, I can tell that they don’t have enough website for us to review to the point that one of the website which I already evaluate keep on popping again and again and I end up write the review for the same website 3 times. What I going to do is, I will wait a few more days to see how frequent the new survey is coming. While it look odd, but it give me the impression that publisher who design a website and wanted some review from public can use such service.

Pro:
1. Slightly different from other paid survey service.
2. Simple to use
3. The survey amount paid is quite good for us (a major motivation)
4. Got a few wrote they get the payment


Con:
1. You need to reach minimum of $75 before you can cash out
2. Types of survey is a bit little for me (probably due to my area)
3. Many complain it is a scam



While I had my doubts about it. On the other hand it may still be a genuine site as we are actually joining it without paying any fees. If anyone else who are interest to join me in my quest to check whether this site is genuine or scam, please use the link below:
