Dynata Reviews 175

They will not disqualify you until after you finish the entire survey.

I'm a member of one Dynata survey site and so far it's great.
I have only traded in points for money one time though (today, a friday) so we'll see if my review will change...
but I was shocked to see that it took 8(!) minutes for me to receive the money, never ever thought that would have been possible.

Update: Second time was extremely smooth as well, it took like a minute or so to receive the money!

I use to do Dynata surveys for instagc and now I can’t because of being suspended from Dynata surveys for absolutely no reason. I emailed them 4 times and no response. Waste of time!

Twice I have been invited to be part of their survey panels and twice I have had my account suspended once I provided massive amounts of demographic, family, and personal information. I truly believe the company lures in people with promises of rewards for the sole purpose of acquiring information to be sold, then suspends accounts to avoid having to make good on promises made in the first place. These people are criminals.

Awful. Constantly spam your phone from different numbers.

Scamers, harassing calls, impossible to block. Hijacking local numbers. Rude on the phone. Absolute scumbags

They make halfway complete surveys that glitch out near the end. Feels intentional. PLEASE AVOID (unless you love wasting time.)

Lately they've been disqualifying me from surveys for inexplicable reasons. I take surveys with SurveyJunkie and whenever I get redirected to Dynata surveys, 99% of the time I get screened out after answering some of their ridiculous qualifying questions. Today they asked about my relationship with technology and what kind of devices I use. I gave what I thought was a complete, decent answer. Then I was asked about the three features I thought would make any hotel a luxury hotel. I gave an honest answer, submitted it, and suddenly was kicked out of the survey, with SurveyJunkie telling me I don't qualify. For what it's worth, I was asked the hotel/luxury hotel question before and gave a similar answer, after which I was disqualified, so I'm guessing that is the question that kicks me out. I honestly wish I knew the type of answer they were looking for. They didn't even ask me any demographic questions, it was just these two short answer ones. Ridiculous. From now on if I ever get redirected to a Dynata survey I'll run, not walk, away.
UPDATE: And it now seems I must do the same with SSI Surveys, since they appear to be partnered with Dynata. I just tried to answer qualification questions for a survey from SSI Surveys. I was asked two questions: what three things do I do to maintain my health; and what is my favorite meal and what are its ingredients. I answered both thoroughly and honestly. After submitting, it said "powered by Dynata" and I groaned. And then I was told by Survey Junkie yet again, "Sorry, you don't qualify for this survey." I find it strange that I cannot qualify for any Dynata surveys at all. Every single one disqualifies me. I'm done with them, and now SSI Surveys as well. They're awful.

these people call saying from Con Ed & we will reduce your bill for being a good customer but they are not Con Ed because i called them they are trying to get you to switch over to them & them they will bill you at more money of course they dont tell you that but its a total SCAM just hang up..Con Ed does not call to solicit business so Con Ed put a notice that my bill is not to be changed by anyone in the computer system unless I am notified by mail...this company is called SYNATA when they call shows up as CON ED on phone id screen I saw that they were calling back again about a week ago these people are total scammers dont even talk just hang up......he said I was a great csr & they will save me money because I always pay my bill on time & will get 40% of my bill dont get taken by these people HANG UP...... een better dont answer....

I started to take a survey and got about a third of the way through when I realized that it was all just a scam. Questions were pointless and repetitive. No $100 gift card waiting for me, no "points" I could redeem, just nothing at the end. It just goes on and on with no good ending. DO NOT use this company for surveys. I do not mind doing surveys when they help a company, but this one is a rip off.

My experience with this company has been ridiculous and frustrating. They always disqualify you a lot when you get to the end of the surveys which doesn't make any damn sense and at times they never have surveys available for me to do. Also sometimes after you complete surveys they would take you to some answers not saved page out of nowhere. I think they have to be ashamed of themselves having people go through all this hell and inconvenience just to earn cash. Dynata please, stop scamming people.

Scam artist survey provider. Many times doesn't credit properly. Completely unresponsive to complaints.
Fun fact: @DynataGlobal blocked me on Twitter after calling out their fraudulent practices in response to some of their tweets. Sorry Dynata, people deserve the truth.

Edit:
This is why people should give them fake but reasonable looking data. They obviously don't pay for real data.

very frustrating experience since they disqualified me when i get to the end of the survey because i said i obtain a bachelor degree, this is so funny huh so FIX YOUR SURVEYS DUDE ARE U STUPID OR RETARD3D ?

It’s a scam. They sent me an email with a promise of Amazon card for completing a survey. After 20 minutes of giving all the information I got a message: “Unfortunately you are not qualified for the survey.”

They banned me when I didn’t do anything wrong. They refused to speak to me when I emailed them.

Often late / very late screenouts despite careful answering of the questions. This waste of participants' time shows the company's lack of respect for the participants.

I was frustrated with their survey technology. I signed up for a few surveys, completed them, and then was later told my answers didn't go through even though it showed the confirmation page. This happened multiple times. Waste of time.
