I joined Signature Surveys to see what you really get after you sign up. There were no surveys, only a few offers, and a very long sign-up full of promotions. Below is what I found, what readers report, and which sites I would pick first.
No real surveys, a long sign-up, and a lot of promotions
It looks like a survey site, but it mostly promotes offers. To join, you agree to calls from around 100 marketing partners.

The short answer
Signature Surveys looks like a normal survey site. But when I joined, there were no surveys, only a few offers, and many links took me to a different offer than promised. In my opinion, it is mostly a platform to promote offers and earn commissions.
The sign-up is the longest I have seen for a survey site. The profile questions are really offers. To finish, you have to agree that its marketing partners can call you, and the list has probably more than 100 of them. I also never received my $5 joining bonus. If you want to take surveys, the top sites in your country are a much better place to start.
- Free to join
- Promotes a few great survey sites
- PayPal or check payouts
- Does not really offer any surveys
- Many links take you to different offers than promised
- Extremely long sign-up process
- You have to agree to get phone calls from many marketing partners
- US only, with a $20 payout threshold
My experience with Signature Surveys
I signed up for Signature Surveys and logged in several times, days apart, to see what it offers. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.

Is Signature Surveys legit and safe?
Signature Surveys says it presents the best offers to you. I strongly disagree. Here is what you should know before you give it your details.
- You agree to calls from many marketing partners
To finish the sign-up, you have to confirm that its marketing partners can call you. The list had probably more than 100 partners. It also asks for your phone number, but you can leave that box blank.
- The profile questions are offers
Every question in the sign-up is an offer it gets paid to promote. If you answer yes, you are asked to sign up or give your email or phone number to that company.
- Links that lead to spam forms
Many offer links took me to a “guaranteed winner” form that asked for my personal details, not to the offer I clicked. This may not be on purpose, but it is very annoying.
- The joining bonus never arrived
My account stayed at $0 after a few weeks as a member. If you join, keep an eye on the bonus and contact support if it does not show up.
- Emails that are hard to stop
Two readers asked how to stop the emails they got after joining. Signature Surveys is not my site, so you have to unsubscribe or block the emails yourself.
My takeSignature Surveys seems like a site that is not created to give you information about great opportunities, but more created just to promote as many offers as possible so the owner can earn commissions. Nothing wrong with earning commissions, but in my opinion, the quality of the offers is very low, and that you have to agree to receive phone calls from around 100 marketing partners is ridiculous.
How you earn on Signature Surveys
There are 3 ways to earn. None of them are paid surveys. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveys and offersFew offers
When I joined, I had no access to any surveys, only a few offers, and they stayed the same every time I logged in. One offer was for RewardBee, a real survey site, but the link took me to a spam winner form.
Some links did go to the offer advertised. But for many offers, I had to sign up and, in many cases, pay to get a bonus.
Referral program$0.50 per referral
You earn $0.50 for each person who joins through your link, or $1 per person if you refer more than 50 people in one month.
Before you invite friends, make sure you really think the site is worth it. If they find out it does not have much to offer, they will not trust your recommendations again.
Joining bonus and extra bonus$5 and $20
Signature Surveys promises a $5 joining bonus. I never received mine.
For the $20 extra bonus, you have to sign up for 8 offers. As far as I can see, they are free, and several are great, legit survey sites. But some can give you a lot of hassle, such as Survey Voices, which sends a lot of spam. In my opinion, it is not worth it.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum |
|---|---|
| PayPal | $20 |
| Check | $20 |
PayPal and check are good ways to get paid. But the $20 threshold is a bit high, and with so few real opportunities, it can take a long time to reach it.
I have not cashed out myself, so I cannot verify that Signature Surveys pays.

If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with Signature Surveys, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Mikael,
Would you give me some “Good Paying – Legit” SURVEY SITES and SWEEPSTAKES SITES and PRODUCT TESTING SITES and Maybe even WORK FROM HOME SITES/COMPANIES.
I live in the United States.
I’m going under here. My dogs and I are currently living in a hotel after spending 3+yrs taking care of Family members. I lost 6 members of my family in 1 and half years.
Will be out of money within the month.
Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU!
Yvonne

please can u give me a link to signature survey
Why do you want a link for Signature Surveys? Did you read the review above so you know if it really is worth it?
I want to unscribe from this trash your site does not let me
Please be aware that I am NOT the owner of Signature Surveys. I have just written a review about it where I actually strongly recommend NOT to join it.
So you need to contact them to unsubscribe from them – or just block their emails.
Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
do you have a paid survey that u personally love
Yes, I have quite a lot of sites I use. Which ones are best, however, depends a lot on the country you live in. If you tell me which country you live in, I will be happy to give some suggestions?
I live in the United States. Could you please send me a list of legitimate companies that are paying people to take surveys.
Thanks Chris
There are a lot of great sites in the US. You can see the best US sites here. And just let me know if you have questions about any of the sites.
Please tell us how to get it off of our computers.
The best you can do is to unsubscribe when you receive mails. If that does not work, just block the email address when you receive more mails. But if you have said yes to receiving messages from all their partners, it will be a big job to get it to stop. Unfortunately, no easy way as far as I am aware.
Hope this helps.
