Spent nearly 40 minutes on a survey providing honest and thoughtful answers. After I completed the survey a Bizrate screen pops up and tells me I did not qualify because the computer thought I took the survey too fast and may not have provided honest answers which is not true. Don't you love it when a machine tells you you are wrong? I would give them zero stars but that was not an option. Forget Bizrate.

This is a scam. I completed a survey and then find out that I am signed up for 4 magazines, and somehow they have my credit card and have charged my card for these magazine subscriptions manually. When I called to cancel they acted like I did this on purpose, then wanted to offer reduced rates for the same magazines if I would keep them. I refused because I did not want them in the first place. Do not take part of this scam.

The only reason I gave one star is it is the lowest rating! Bizrate is a SCAM. Do not use them. Companies that do use them, I will not deal with again either. I did all of the procedures to get a $25 reward and then it came up to select the magazines. I selected the magazines and then had to pay 8.00 for handling. I wanted to see what would happen - after that they responded back that I took too long and it cancelled me out - Scam!!

After you purchase something from a company that uses Bizrate they pull you in with saying that give a $25 reward ten times a day...then, after you submit your personal information, they take you to a site that offers magazines to sign up for/buy and they say this is the $25 reward. Very deceptive and unprofessional. Also, they do not publish a phone number to get in contact with them so apparently they don't want to hear any complaints...Beware of their scam

I've had issues with surveys and the rating system of their businesses. First off the surveys are fraudulent. I would get surveys and try to take them. I'd be told it was worth a lot of points but when I submit them they say they reached their quota and was given maybe 50 points for my time. Many times I was sitting at my PC when the survey came in. I had already filled out a couple pages of survey information when this happened. I suspect by the time I put in my age that's why they won't use me. Then I bought merchandise from one of their listed business. I didn't even know this until a couple weeks later the survey came in to rate them. I never received my merchandise and the survey wouldn't let me rate them until I received it. So I hung onto the email so I could rate them later. 3 months later still no shipment and I had to contact PayPal for a refund. I contacted Bitrate to say I'd like to rate this company but the link they sent me will not work until I get my order. I told them the whole situation of how this company took my money and never sent my product and how they won't respond to emails. I asked how I could please rate them so other customers would know. This is the response I got. I felt like I was talking on deaf ears. Hello, Thank you for your email. Bizrate.com is a shopping comparison and consumer rating site. We partner with retailers who list their products on our site. From these listings, customers are directed to our retail partner's site to complete their purchase. We do not charge customer credit cards. Bizrate.com does not make, sell or ship any products. For specific questions about orders, products, product availability, refunds, shipping or payment options, please contact the retailer. If you have made a purchase and do not remember which retailer you purchased from, you can call your bank or credit card company and they should be able to provide a contact phone number or email address. In addition, I am sorry to hear you received the Bizrate.com fulfillment survey before you received your order. The timing of the survey is self-selected. During the initial point of sale survey you took you were asked "When do you expect all of the items in your order to be delivered?" The date you selected determined the timing of the fulfillment survey. I recommend saving the survey for when you feel you can accurately rate the merchant from which you purchased. I hope this helps clear up any confusion. Have a wonderful day! If you have any additional questions please send them to help(at)bizrate.com.

Scam. After office max purchase they say to complete a survey to be entered to win a gift card. Actually, you complete the survey, then you have to enter the gift card giveaway separately and in the process agree to give away all your information to third parties. Very misleading and means I took 10 minutes to complete a survey for nothing. I was willing to give office max feedback on my purchase but not willing to then give info to a third party. Typical bait and switch.

BizRate is a total scam. You will waste your time attempting to complete a survey as it is nearly impossible to do so. After spending 5-10 minutes answering questions you are told you don’t qualify and are switched to another where you start the process all over again and again and again. If you do manage to reach 5000 points (the lowest amount to redeem for a $5 gift card) good luck redeeming. Customer Service is almost non-existent and useless. This company is really about selling magazine subscriptions that are cheap to begin with and then outrageously expensive and tricky to cancel. Do yourself a favor and don’t get involved on any level.

i ordered a forklift on Monday. David told me no problem. Give me your cc number. We can get it to you the next day. The next day he calls says having problems finding one. Said ok but I need it tomorrow. Call me and let me know. Still no forklift. But charged my cc already. On Friday he finally called after he told me he would call by end of the day Thursday. Didn't! I called Friday told him I needed a refund on my cc. He called said good news. I said never mind. I have one and its delivered. He said oh ok where did you get it. I told him SUNBELT RENTALS. LUKE HE NEEDED TO KNOW ANYTHING bc he couldn't make it happen. Still on Tuesday no refund!!!
