Product Report Card vs QuickThoughts

Unlike some survey panels, Product Report Card makes support easily accessible. Should you encounter any problems, it's very easy to open a support ticket from your account dashboard. Expect a quick and courteous response to you inquiry.

They even respond to inquiries on Trustpilot which is a consumer watchdog site. You can see their forum here. If that fails, you can reach them at (303) 345-4261.

QuickThoughts is backed by SSI (Survey Sampling International) and they have been rewarding users since the 1970's. If any issues do arise, you can expect a quick and courteous response.

While there's a lot to like about this program, one drawback is the low amount of survey invites. While you may be lucky enough to qualify for high-paying focus groups or product reviews, on a day-to-day basis you will not get a lot of earning opportunities. This is partially due the fact that they have very discerning clients that seek detailed information.

You may also find some people claiming to have not been paid or paid very slowly. This is generally just people that are impatient or don't understand the process and should be ignored.

As with any apps that use location services and GPS, some users report issues with battery life. This will be less evident the newer your device is. If you are concerned about your battery life, you can disable the GPS feature, but then you will not be able to participate in the mystery shopping features of the app.
