Let me show what previous panelists had to say after having done survey jobs.

QUEST MINDSHARE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OR COMPLIMENTS

Panelists were asked to give feedback on songs, or complete music surveys.

For completing these sorts of tasks folks would be paid $40-$70 per music survey or gift cards.

At the time of writing this post, there were 53 complaints lodged against the company. According to the BBB(or Better Business Bureau), 38 of these complaints were resolved.

What were some of the common complaints?

• Folks were not credited with their payment due to incorrect geographical location.
• Checks that were received from the company could not be cashed
• Members account banned for no reason
• Unable to retrieve account with new login details.

Does this mean that Quest Mindshare is a waste of your time? Let's first take a look at the pros and cons, before I give you my verdict.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT QUEST MINDSHARE

They feature music surveys. It's different and refreshing compared to the normal surveys.

WHAT I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT QUEST MINDSHARE

The surveys take a long time to complete. Some folks have spent 1.5 hours to complete.

No PayPal accepted.

They pay via mailed check. Payment takes 4-6 weeks.

The opportunity is only available to US and Canadian citizens.

This is NOT a passive income opportunity.

IS QUEST MINDSHARE A SCAM? MY PERSONAL OPINION

I noticed that there were more complaints rather than compliments against Quest Mindshare. In all fairness though, the majority of these complaints were addressed by the company.

Furthermore, I noticed that the company stated on the BBB site that they have in fact paid out some of their users. And these users were satisfied with the response.

From these two points, I do not think that Quest Mindshare is a scam. However, I think that they could be improve upon certain issues

For one they could make the terms and conditions easily accessible.

Users spent a great deal of time doing the music surveys only to be rejected because of the incorrect geographical location. And this is according to these terms and conditions.

However, at the time of writing this Quest Mindshare review,  the "terms and conditions" page could not be viewed. Even though the initial sign-up form had an option to "check it" off, the link directed straight to the Quest Mindshare homepage. Hence one could not read its contents.

So, should you join Quest Mindshare?

If you are okay with doing 3-4 hours worth of work and are willing to wait 4-6 weeks for your pay, then perhaps you can give Quest Mindshare a go.

 Also bear in mind that you need to be a Canadian or us citizen to qualify. And when you get survey jobs, before you end up wasting your precious time, make sure that the area you stay in, fulfills the survey criteria.

SURVEY JOBS DO NOT GIVE YOU CONTROL OVER YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE
