Tellwut

For Voters (i.e. survey takers), Tellwut seems to be quite a safe platform. You will have to provide some personal information (like your name, email address, gender, date of birth, etc.) in order to sign up and get paid, but that's to be expected, and the Tellwut privacy policy claims this information will never be sold unless they receive explicit consent. That said, some of your personal info may be shared with third parties (like payment providers and external survey providers) in order for them to carry out their services. All of this information is claimed to be protected and only used as needed.

One important thing to note is that Tellwut may require you to show your ID (accepted forms include a driver's license, utility bill showing your address, or similar) when redeeming points or changing addresses. They do this to prevent fraud.

If you want to opt out, you can simply delete your Tellwut account by emailing support. Keep in mind, as per the privacy policy, "your account cannot be reinstated once it has been deleted and you will lose any unredeemed points."

Tellwut's support team seems to be very active. If you email them, they claim to get back within 48 business hours, and based on user reviews, this seems accurate. They're also active in responding to reviews online, which is a positive sign that they care about their user's feedback.

Tellwut, as with most paid survey sites, has a very low earning potential. Although you can earn points quite consistently on the platform, the rate of pay is simply too low for that to have a significant impact on this rating.

Tellwut has a minimum payout of $10.

Payout speeds vary depending on your location and the type of reward you redeem. If you go for a physical gift card, you're going to be waiting longer due to shipping times. Digital rewards are delivered much more quickly. Overall, based on our data, you can expect to get paid in 2-21 days after reaching the minimum payout amount.

Getting started earning with Tellwut is very easy. No significant investment or special skills are required, and you can start earning right away.

Tellwut has no commissions or fees for earners.

Although Tellwut isn't designed beautifully, the platform is still easy and fun to use. You can also hop on and earn points whenever you want. The community experience is really nice as well, with Tellwut providing interesting polls and even allowing users to earn money by creating their own surveys.

On the downside though, Tellwut doesn't offer any real "job" security -- if your account is inactive for 12 months, your account may be suspended. Further, Tellwut can pretty much suspend your account at any time if they find a good reason. For example, if you don't participate in enough third-party surveys, they may deactivate your account. On top of this, Tellwut obviously doesn't offer any real growth opportunities for earners, and the "work" you'll be doing here isn't exactly fulfilling or meaningful.
