Paid online surveys are considered to be the providers of one of the easiest money making and work from home opportunities. How can you resist the chance of getting paid for telling people about how you feel or what your opinions are on certain matters, products and even services?
But with the increase in the number of scammers and illegal paid survey sites on the web, it requires a great deal of strength and positivity to find companies that will not only provide you with good paying leads, but will also keep you from being charged for services and information that you should not, in reality, be paying for.
Out of the many companies offering survey related job opportunities online, Surveys4checks.com is considered to be one of the most popular. But as we all know, just like any other life choices, there are two sides to popularity everyone should consider. This means that being popular does not necessarily equate to positive feedback or reputation.
What Is It All About?
- Company: Survey4Checks
- URL: www.surveys4checks.com
- Price: 49.99 One Time Fee
- Rating: 1 out of 5
Sarah Garringer, the founder of Survey4checks claims that this is a legitimate business offering better income generating opportunities to those who would like to earn more or a little extra on the side.
Being in the business for almost 2 years, the company boasts of it not being a fraud or a scam. Survey4checks is not your usual site where you can choose all the surveys that you would like to take to get paid; in fact, what it gives are lists of survey and marketing research websites that provide legitimate jobs.
How Does It Work?
There is a registration fee of $49.99 for one to become a member of the Survey4checks group. Now this is a one-time fee – which means that you or any other existing members will and should not be asked to pay for other fees in the future.
So after signing up, how does this really help you earn money? Once you have become a member, you can immediately start checking out the lists of online paid survey providers and choose which ones they would like participate in. Each survey has a corresponding rate, which will be paid to you through the payment platform that you or the company has chosen.
Can You Make Money?
If you take a look at it closer, you do not really get anything out of it other than a long list of companies that you can get survey-related jobs from.
But if you will consider this as your hiring agent, then you can say that you definitely can earn money from this. Although Survey4checks.com claims that one can have the opportunity to earn large sums of money through taking surveys, taking one survey does not pay well; so do not expect to earn more than enough for you to solely rely on surveys for a living.
The trick to earning a lot of money through surveys is participate in around 60 to 100 surveys in a month. There are thousands of companies that Survey4checks has partnered with, which means that you can simply choose from their partners and take their surveys.
Is It A Scam or Legit?
Well, they run a legitimate business, which means that they indeed do not trick people to signing up and paying for a registration fee almost $50 for nothing.
But would you really pay for services or information that you can easily find through your favorite search engines? The company offers a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the services that they are offering. But there have been cases where in members failed to get their refunds even after a number of submitted requests.
Survey4checks has ticked the bad sides of people who are not too keen on paying a fee as large as what the site charges, not only because it is technically expensive, but because this set of information is easy to find!
Is It Worth it?
While there are some semi-decent paid survey sites out there, Surveys4Checks is definitely not one of them. The large starter fee is a bit much considering so many other sites will have you start for free!
Overall online survey sites are ok if you just want to make an odd buck here and there. You will also need surplus time and not be to concerned about your “hourly rate’. The reason for this is because survey sites pay very little.
So considering these points my conclusion is that Survey4Checks is not worth your time or effort. I suggest taking a look at affiliate marketing. It is how I make good money online and what I also recommend to people wanting to do the same.
My Recommendation
I make my money by building simple websites that promote products from trusted companies like Amazon.com. If you would like to learn how I do this, please check this out.

This is a great, well-balanced and fair review. I could easily have jumped into something like Surveys4Checks, but I live in Sweden, and they don’t have checks here. I wonder if there are similar schemes here (and whether they’re legit)…
Also, do you have any tips for finding ‘free’ ones (ones who don’t charge $50)?
Beau,
You are absolutely correct when you said survey sites pay very little. In fact, after spending day after day completing surveys, hours on my laptop, just to collect a few pennies, I said to my self there has got to be a better way to spend my day.
So I began to search for a better way and also found a way to grow a business from the ground up! That’s more of what I was looking for. I see that you agree.
Best wishes to your online success….

Good and detailed review. I have signed up for one of these paid survey companies in the past and agree with you when you say that it is certainly not worth paying a membership fee. I ultimately didn’t spend much time filling out surveys because the money that they pay was not worth the time and the effort.
