I do lots of surveys with them and regularly am compensated. The surveys are oftentimes redundant or tedious, sometimes fun or different. I have also been contacted to do telephone/focus group interviews and have received trial products to review. The downsides are that in many surveys, I will complete the survey (the survey itself even says it was completed, not just a screen out, spent the full time plus as indicated on the invite) then get a "you were not successful with this survey" or "while you did not qualify for this survey...." with no way to communicate an error; many of the started surveys seem to screen out and then jump to another unrelated/new survey within the same session that will ask the same questions again (screening questions) and most likely be a different time amount than initially indicated on the invite (so you could jump to a survey that will now take 3-4 times as long but the incentive is for the first shorter survey and therefore, not appropriate). Also, you have to get enough points to be equal to or more than $50 to cash in and then incentives take a LONG time to receive once requested- most of mine take 2-3 months. So, unless you regularly take lots of surveys (expect A LOT of screen outs before you actually complete one and receive incentives/points), you will not get anything for these.

Probleme resolu. j'ai bien recu mon intencive de 45 euros. Alors qu'il fallait soit disant attendre 6 à 8 semaines, ma recruteuse m'a fait parvenir un ordre de paiement en date du 10 juillet pour une reunion le 18 juin soit à peine 4 semaines. c'est ce que l'on appelle un paiement express.

As others have said, it takes forever for your gift card to actually show up in your wallet, then it takes another 4-6 weeks to actually be able to cash it out. AND they changed it to a $50 cash out. Time and again, it will disqualify you AFTER you pass the demographic portion, which usually doesn't happen. All disqualifying questions need to be asked at the BEGINNING of the survey, not 10-20 minutes into it. It's too bad really; Sago/Focus Group pays the best for surveys. It's pretty easy to stack up money, but having to wait more than 6-8 weeks for it is just beyond the pale. .

The interview processes went well and was professional. The payment process has gone very slow. Not payment after 6 weeks. Log in attempts have failed and the resetting of password also fails. I wanted to give my feedback on the company that used these guys but I won't do it again. isn't worth the time spent helping a company improve if after the fact you feel as though you were lied too. I have a negative feeling of the company I provided the feedback on, as well as with this company. Not a true scam, but it is poor business practices.

Cool Study, played games for an hour to be promised $225. But their payment times suck! They will take their time and then some. It’s 1-4 days (they will take 4) to offer the incentives which are just gift cards then take “4-6 weeks” (they will take 6) to actually give it to you. I had to threaten to report them week 5 for me to get anything and they didn’t even give me the whole $225 (just $150). It is now week 6 and 2 days and still no remaining $75

So I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in many research studies and marketing groups. While I don’t have any complaints about the actual studies, my top 2 complaints are definitely about no one actually answering their telephone there. You always have to leave a message. I find that I get more of response by emailing the company. Ok so the next big complaint is… they take so so long to compensate you for your Immediate participation. If you ever expect to be paid right away, this isn’t the company to do that. They have this system where they will load your payment points into your sago account. Then you have to go in and redeem by choice of virtual or physical card. If you decide you prefer to have the physical card, you have to wait 4-6 very long weeks before it even processes and then another 7-10 days for it to even be mailed to you. As much as I like voicing my opinion and participating, the honorarium system needs to be improved immensely. Participants should not have to wait so long for payment especially since the client has already gotten what they needed from them. I really hope they come up with a better system soon!

I did a task with them in early February. I'm still waiting to redeem my points. SAGO is the worst company to do focus group or any task with. I have done focus group and other tasks with other companies and get paid right away. Not only SAGO take forever to redeem the points they don't response to email. All you get is a generic email. No human answer the phone. My question is they get paid right away by the sponsor company so why not pay the participant right away too. What are you doing with the money you got paid? They should not be in this business any more.

Reward process is not good. It’s terrible in fact. I’ve done surveys and focus groups with this group for some time and it seems to be getting worse. I did an in person focus group over a month ago. To date, still have not been paid. Then when they do pay, it goes into your wallet, then it takes at MINIMUM 30 days to cash out your wallet. I’ve inquired about payment several times and have not received any responses. Not cool, especially when I can say I do enjoy the focus groups I’ve been in.
