Ten Years to Earn a Gift Card...!

This used to be a good site, but in the past year it has really deteriorated. I suspect they may be in financial difficulties and we'll possibly see them disappear soon.

I am a member of dozens of other survey sites, and unfortunately NQ now seems to be one of the worst. The vast majority of survey sites offer Amazon gift cards AND Paypal or bank transfer; NQ only offers Amazon gift cards (and a whole host of gift cards and products that no one would want). Most survey sites allow cashouts at around £5, NQ's only Amazon gift card is £100.

Like others that have commented, as soon as I neared the £25 Amazon reward, it was bumped up to £50, and as soon as I was almost ready to claim the £50 gift card, there were only £100 gift cards available. If the site hasn't disappeared, I'm sure it'll show only £200 gift cards in the future.

I have also found that surveys have slowed down, so if it continues in this way, even answering every available survey and collecting premium shells, it will take about a decade to even reach the £100 Amazon gift card.

I find it difficult to believe the 'out of stock' excuse when it comes to Amazon gift cards: Amazon doesn't 'run out' of gift cards; suppliers can easily be changed if they cannot fulfill orders; and no other site has this issue.

Since this problem has been going on for almost a year, the only answer seems to be that NQ doesn't want to pay its members, but still wants to profit from their labour.

So now members have to choose whether to abandon a sinking ship and lose the money they are owed, or continue spending time on surveys hoping that one day smaller gift card denominations appear or they finally reach the cashout threshold before they die.
