Or not.

Jim sent me an email about BigSpot:

Hi.  I thought this was kind of strange, but I saw a survey site advertised on television.  I thought you might want to check this one out.  It is http://www.bigspot.com/ .  I checked it out and I wasn’t impressed with it.

I had actually given it a brief look, and like Jim, wasn’t impressed. This time, I decided to go all in and register with BigSpot. After all, they are spending the big bucks on advertising.  I see that darned commercial every time I turn on my TV.

I looked all around the website before I joined and couldn’t find a FAQ section. Surely there would be one there after I joined, right? Nope. I got a list of survey sites that were “offered in my area”, all of which are readily available elsewhere. I checked under the terms and conditions and found this:

Description of Services

The website provides you with potential opportunities to earn money and prizes by participating in market research surveys hosted by our clients. There is no fee to use our service on the Website. The Website does not administer any individual survey; it merely facilitates access to them. Not all market research panels allow panelists to exchange their points for cash, some offer you the opportunity to use them for merchandise, services, or contest entries.

I never received a confirmation email and of course opted out of the survey sites listed, as I am already amember of all of them. I suppose on a positive note, at least you don’t have to pay for this list as many other survey sites require. But for all of you reading this blog, I can’t imagine what the point of joining would be. There is no review of the survey sites or descriptions, just links to join. No incentives from the site itself  are offered. It would make more sense to go to Yourfreesurveys where they have their own surveys and daily surveys.

My advice would be to skip it but that’s just my opinion. If you are already a member, let us know what you think.
