A.W. Surveys has an impossible cashout amount set at $75 minimum, so that you can never attain payout. As stated on the A.W. Survey Website: "You will not be able to redeem until you have met this minimum amount." However, the company assures you that "We offer some of the highest paying surveys, and offer a great referral system, so this amount should not be hard to reach."
A.W. Surveys is a Work-At-Home Scam! It is impossible to reach the $75 payout goal, as there were no surveys to take after I reached a $28 payout, so I filed with the Better Business Bureau.

A.W. Surveys reported through my Better Business Bureau claim that "The consumer is correct we do have a $75 cash out requirement. This information can be found in our Terms of Service which the consumer agrees to when signing up for an account and also in our Frequently asked Questions section." Then A.W. Surveys went on to say that "Not all members receive the same amount of surveys every month and that surveys become available based on Age, Gender, etc."

That's the catch! They can just say that your age and gender limits your surveys. Why don't they list all the surveys and the requirements to let consumers know if they have a fair chance at the payout.

The only way to attain the amount required is to refer others. Apparently you get $1.25 per referral; however this is another scam opportunity as countless victims have reported that A.W. Surveys said their referrals were fraudulent, so they got no commissions. In June 2008 they had $1 survey opportunity -- but at that monthly $1 opportunity rate it would take around 3-1/2 to 4 years to earn the $75 payout minimum.

* Other things to note:
>> inactivity for 45 days will cause the account to be
>> -$25 "Expedited Service Charge" for a PayPal payment
>> having too many referrals will cause the company to site "fraudulent activities."
>> Aclarn Inc. sites also include:

Further, the company gives no address. We filed our report with the Central Florida Better Business Bureau.
