Is Survey Junkie legit?
Facts checked 9 Oct 2026 · Changelog →
Our verdict (opinion)
A large, legitimate panel owned by DISQO, with a $5 minimum and an 18+ rule. It accepts the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, but not New Zealand, whatever some NZ lists say. Its own FAQ is clear that you won't get rich and it won't replace a job.
