12 Best Survey Sites That Offer a Disqualification Bonus

Opinion Inn is a fairly straightforward online rewards site, but it also has some unique features. It offers surveys you can answer, and in return, you get paid. You will receive a small compensation ($0.10) even if you get disqualified from a survey.

On average, you will likely qualify for around 25% of the surveys, which is very good for a survey site. That’s the biggest reason why it is on this list. And you also get a  $10 joining bonus.

The payout threshold is relatively high ($25), but it does pay relatively well per survey, so you won’t have a hard time hitting the threshold. It is available globally, but you will find the most opportunities if you live in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Singapore, and India.

Survey Junkie is a survey site that is available in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK. Aside from answering surveys online, you can also earn from this site by testing products, participating in focus groups, and doing phone surveys.

If you are disqualified from a survey, you will still receive $0.03, which, in my opinion, isn’t a bad outcome. But what makes this a good site to join is its low payout threshold of $5. You won’t have to wait very long to withdraw your earnings.

Once you reach the threshold, you can then withdraw your earnings via PayPal or convert them to gift cards. So, it’s pretty easy to get to the threshold the first time.

Opinion Edge is one of the newer paid survey sites. It is very user-friendly and offers a good number of paid surveys.

A unique thing this panel offers is that you do not get a specific bonus when you do not qualify for a survey, but the bonus will depend on when during the survey you are told you do not qualify. And you will get between $0.02-$0.10, so it has one of the highest disqualification bonuses I have come across on a survey site.

Also, it has an app for both iOS and Android, so you can earn from your phone if you prefer.

PaidViewpoint is one of the better survey sites out there. The main reason for this is, PaidViewpoint will never offer you a survey you will not qualify for. So, you won’t get disqualified, and therefore I have added it to this list even though you do not, as such, get a bonus when you do not qualify – you just simply always qualify.

The only downside to this kind of system is, you won’t be invited to answer surveys often. But at least, once you do get invited, you are guaranteed to earn. Their threshold is $15, but they do pay a decent amount for every survey you answer. So, you won’t have a hard time reaching the threshold.

In theory, you can join from any country, but you will only really find surveys here if you live in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia.

InboxPounds is more of a Get-Paid-To (GPT) site rather than a survey site really. That’s because it offers multiple ways for you to earn. Aside from answering surveys, you can also complete paid offers, read emails, join their contests, download apps, and more to earn rewards.

It does have a relatively high payout threshold of £20 for PayPal and gift cards, which is more than I would prefer, but since it offers plenty of ways for you to earn, you won’t have a hard time reaching the threshold.

The threshold is even higher if you choose to redeem a prepaid Mastercard (£50). The site is only for UK residents, though. So, if you don’t live in the UK, then this site is not for you. As for their disqualification bonus, you will earn a “Spin the Wheel” entry where you can win prizes like Survey Tokens worth £0.06 and £0.03 or Cash Bonuses at £5.00, £1.00, and £0.01. You can only spin 10 times per day, though.

CashInStyle is a GPT site that allows users to earn money by completing surveys, watching ads, participating in contests, and completing offers. It has a decent number of surveys available, but just keep in mind that not all of them offer a disqualification bonus.

It pays via PayPal, or you can convert your earnings to crypto. You can also redeem gift cards via Tremendous. It doesn’t have a mobile app you can download, but the member dashboard is optimized for mobile use.

It is available more or less worldwide, so you can sign up as a member anywhere in the world.

Poll Pay is a survey site where you can earn by answering surveys and getting referrals. If you end up not qualifying for a survey, you will still receive a $0.01 disqualification bonus. It’s not much, but at least it’s something.

It has a low payout threshold of $5, and when you reach it, you can withdraw it via PayPal. In some countries, you can also redeem gift cards instead. It is available more or less worldwide. So, compatibility won’t really be an issue.

Poll Pay also has a very user-friendly app, so you won’t have a hard time getting used to how it works.

Eureka Surveys is another survey app and website where you can earn simply by answering surveys or polls. You can also earn by inviting other people to join.

It’s a fairly straightforward app and website. When you fail to qualify for a survey, you will still receive $0.02. It only pays via PayPal but their support team told me they are planning to add gift cards as a reward option.

You can withdraw your earnings once you’ve earned $10, which is a relatively low threshold, in my opinion. It is only available in the US, though. But the app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.

The Panel Station is a fairly straightforward survey site. You answer surveys to earn points. You can then use the points to redeem various gift cards. If you fail to qualify for a survey, you will instead receive 20 points.

The disqualification bonus isn’t much, and just to give you perspective, 1,000 points is equivalent to around $1.5. But it is still good that you receive something when you do not qualify for a survey, in my opinion.

Their threshold is around $5, but to be specific, you will need to earn at least 3,000 points before you can redeem a gift card. The availability of gift cards will also depend on the country you live. If you want to know which countries, it is available in, just click the link to the review above.

Payswell is the new survey site that lets you earn rewards by answering surveys. It does offer a small compensation if you get disqualified from a survey.

You can use the rewards you’ve earned to redeem various gift cards, or you can donate your earnings to charity. It doesn’t have a mobile app you can download, but the website is mobile-friendly, so you can answer surveys conveniently on your phone.

It is primarily available to users in the United States, the UK, and Canada, so if you live somewhere else, this is not for you.

Fair Opinions is a market research site that rewards you for answering surveys. There are a decent number of surveys available if you live in the US. You’ll receive a certain number of points depending on the length of the survey you were disqualified from.

It pays via PayPal, gift cards, Venmo, and bank transfer. The payout threshold will depend on the payout method you choose. For example, if you want to get paid via PayPal, the threshold will be $10. If you want to withdraw your earnings directly to your bank account, the threshold will be $25.

It is available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Purkle is a survey site that will let you earn rewards by answering surveys. It is only available in Australia, so if you live somewhere else, this is not for you.

It pays a decent amount per survey, and once you’ve earned at least $20, you can redeem various gift cards. It doesn’t offer cash rewards, which is its biggest downside, in my opinion.
