Legitimite survey and click to earn sites

[cath_31]

I know some people have had bad experiences with surveys, but there are some survey sites that are good. You just have to go into them being realistic about what you will get. I thought it might be helpful to see what I actually have received from some of them. Here are some that I participate in (or used to) and my comments about them:

HarrisPoll- They give you points for every survey you take (they email you the offers). You can pick a prize once you get enough points. I have gotten a free CD from them and have enough points for another prize, but am saving them up for something larger. **I redeemed some points for a nice 5 qt crockpot :). Not sure what I will save up for next yet.

ZoomPanel- This works like Harris and I have also earned a CD from them and a pair of headphones, but they stopped sending me emails for surveys for some reason so I don't use them anymore. I signed up for this again and have redeemed some points for a book from them since I last posted.

Surveyspot- They usually have contest entries with each survey. Years ago I got a free bottle of Frizz-Eeze and $5 for completing a survey about it. In more recent years I just get entries. Someone else posted on here that they get alot of surveys that paid them money, so I guess it just depends on your demographics. ** I have earned $26.00 total from them. (Part of this was money in the account I had earned before my first post that I had forgotten to request).

NO LONGER AVAILABLE Your2Cents- This one used to give you money even if you didn't qualify (it was something like 20 cents, which was cool since it wasn't a total waste of time when you didn't qualify) but they don't do that anymore. However when you qualify you can get money in your account. I requested a check for $16.20 last October and received it. I currently have $4.00 in earnings, but you need $5.00 or more before they will issue a check. **I have now earned $26.20 from them in total.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE Greenfield- I think I got a small check from them a long time ago, but have had no luck lately- I never qualify. I still get the emails, but usually delete them.

Both Your2Cents and Greenfield have merged with Toluna recently. I am not sure how I feel about this yet.

** I am doing Pinecone surveys also. I think it is one of the best survey sites I am aware of. You get $3 for each completed survey and they now can send you a check or put it directly in your PayPal account. There hard thing is you have to find a sign-up banner to join this one. Luckily there is a whole thread about this and sometimes people mention where their banners are located. I have earned $21 so far from them- I just started with them in December. I still think this one is the best. If you have a chance to register with them, I strongly suggest it!

I now do e-rewards as well. I earn money towards Upromise (to earn savings toward college). I guess they also have other rewards you can earn depending on how you sign up for it. What I like about it is that you earn some money for a survey even if you don't end up qualifying for the whole survey. What I don't like about them is that they greatly exaggerate how much you are earning. For example, when I have $30 saved, I can redeem it for $5 in my Upromise account. $60 will earn me $20 and $120 will earn $50 in Upromise. I think that is rather misleading, but I do have $74.80 in there (so that is worth a little more than $20.

I also have a couple click to earn companies I deal with. I have received a $25 Wal-Mart card and a $10 Chili's card from Memolink. It does take alot of time, but I enjoy things like their trivia question. You can also earn point for buying things from major retail companies. (They must get money for you clicking on it through their site, so they give you points to encourage it). I have more information about Memolink in another post. **I now have earned and received my $50 Wal-Mart gift card :D.

A new one I just signed up for recently is InboxDollars. It's a little early to tell with that one. You have to earn $30 before they will issue you a check. I am only at $8.32 right now. **I am very close to being able to request this one. I have $28.74 currently. Update: I have earned a check for $30.81 from them. I now have another $27.30 that I need to get to $30 before I can redeem. One bad thing is they take out a $3 processing fee when you redeem your money.

**There is another site I am using that has to be owned by the same people as InboxDollars. It is SendEarnings and the set-up and offers are almost identical. I have $13.05 with them so far. Again you need $30 before you can redeem it. Update: I have $50.95 in my account now. I will probably wait until I have $53 until I redeem it since they also take a $3 processing fee when you go to redeem. It has taken me a little over 2 years to earn this though.

**MyPoints is another one that I started doing, and I really like it. It is a click-to-earn/shopping site similar to the others I have mentioned. You save up your points for a variey of gift cards. I have earned a $10 gasoline card and I am saving up for a $25 one this time. I need 3750 points for that and I have 2905 right now. This is my favorite Click-to-earn site.

None of these are necessarily always winners and don't expect to get something quickly all the time, but if you enjoy this sort of thing you should check some of them out. If anyone wants actual links to these, I will try to find them for you, just ask.

[Blondhorsecrazy]

Thank you for your input about these companies....I had gotten a couple emails recently from a couple and didn't know if they really paid $$ or not!:confused: This does help out!;)

hello everyone..just wanted to say that www.surveyspot.com does pay. Yes they do have surveys where you just get entries into there sweepstakes, but if you keep doing those ones, you will get sent surveys with real money as a reward. You must complete a profile so they know which surveys you will qualify for that they have. I have been a member for only 4-5 months and have already made $46.00 from them. I know a couple other sites that do pay you without having to jump thru hoops or sign up for anything else. If you want the info, PM me and we can exchange emails with the web addresses.

[sweety19]

How much do you pay for offers each survey??????

[VanillaBean]

Sometimes it pays $5. Sometimes $2-$3. I don't pay a thing. Sometimes they have sent me a $20 survey, but I don't always qualify. You just have to keep with doing the surveys for more to get sent to you. Plus I visit the site as well.

[cath_31]

How much do you pay for offers each survey??????

With the survey sites I have mentioned, you do not have to pay a thing, you just have to sign up to join. The ones that make you sign up for 3 offers to get anything, to me are a big rip-off.

I am glad that you have had luck with surveyspot. I have been a member for at least 5 years and have not made $46.00 total, I really do think it depends on the specific demographics that they are looking for (where you live, age, etc). Perhaps I just need to update my information, because of your post I will do that. I really don't visit their website, I just wait for them to email me. That may be the problem.

[VanillaBean]

It could just be that simple. Update your profile and try to visit at least once a day to see if any surveys are available. Even if you start one and don't complete it, they see you are serious and it will pay off. My demographic is pretty simple, I am 30yrs old, have a 13yr old girl, a 6yr old boy, I am divorced, but I am engaged(have a significant other). I work part-time. Pretty simple person and household. I am an avid coupon and bargain hunter and taking surveys is a great way for me to express what and how I shop as a mother. I have even had surveys that are for the kids. Kinds like video games and kid movies on dvds and how they like different covers of the dvds. I feel very safe and comfortable allowing my kids to participate. ( I am right there too). Good-Luck. If you have any more questions, or anyone does for that matter, please don't hesitate to ask me!:)

[shoshcop]

Hi, I am interested in the web sites you have. Thank you so much. I appreciate you very much!

[cath_31]

Shoshcop, I am glad you can use this information (and welcome to the startsampling forums, you really can learn alot in here). Here are the links to the sites I have mentioned above.

www.harrispollonline.com

www.zoompanel.com

www.surveyspot.com

www.your2cents.com

www.greenfieldonline.com

If anyone is interested in memolink, please send me a private message with your name and email and I can refer you (I would get 100 points for this). I need 18,443 more point for that $50 Wal Mart gift card that I want so badly ;). I know that sounds like alot, but I already have 64,747 points so I will get there eventually, but would sure appreciate the referral bonus to help me do that. If you want more information about them, post in here or message me and I will explain it more in depth. I have another post in here about it also.

Inbox dollars works the same way, PM me if you want me to refer you. I would get $5 in my account. Later, if you have friends that want to join you could get the extra $5 from their referral. **They just recently changed the way the referral process works. Now they give you 10% of qualified earnings they make, which sounds ok, but you get nothing for them clicking on the emails anymore and you don't get the $5 either :(.

Hope this information helps.

If a company wants you to pay for a list of survey sites, it is bogus. NEVER ever pay for a list of survey sites. So called survey sites like Franklin Surveys, where you get "A Free X-Box 360" are bogus. You sign up, answer 40 pages of c***, sign up for who knows how much $$ worth of trial magazines, music or movie clubs, and when you reach the point where you have satisfied the requested hoop jumping, they tell you you messed up something along the way, and disqualified yourself. That to me is a bogus site. If anyone is interested, I get a newsletter that is connected to an MSN Group listing survey sites, PTR sites, I have already gotten paid by some of them, and she has a black list of survey sites, sort of "Join at your own risk" list. So, if anyone wants the link to the newsletter (or group), which has a link to the group, let me know, and I will get it for you. The site has tons of information, and since joining the site, I have started getting a downline in the PTR sites I belong to.

Just remember, do not pay someone so you can get a list of survey sites. All the information is out there on the net for free. I won't post the link unless asked to, in case someone perceives it as Spam, since that is a big no no in Annika's.

Cpogie,

I want to apologize publicly for the oops in wording. I am very sorry.

I promise to be more careful in my wording and use terms more suited to the forum. :o

Thank you for understanding.

Any web site listed here is use at your own risk, it is not an endorsment just opinions of members, so use carefully, thanks for letting us know.

[COWCHIPPER]

pinecone research pays $5 per survey you take. Problem is you have to find their banner to sign up. If approved you get surveys,and short surveys to see if you match for a survey. You get product samples to try and do an evaluation on. Full size samples.

I found a link yesterday to a SIGN UP sheet only... if you get choosen is another thing. It is worth signing up though. Also the $5 can come in a chaeck or your paypal account.

There's a new industry born because of the 'Do Not Call List,' the list that was instituted to stop telemarketers from calling people. The advertisers didn't go away and they still need to get the word out about their products and services. So GPT (Get Paid To) sites came into existence. People get paid to do surveys and complete offers and sign up for products and services on these sites. Treasure Trooper is the biggest one of these sites and is totally legitimate. There are many, many others and more sites are opening every day. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be opening one of my own within a couple of weeks. I started working on these sites the end of April and in May I made over $80 and in June over $200. You do have to make sure of the sites you join because, as with anything, there are ones that aren't legitimate. There's a Work At Home Moms site, and within their message boards is one called 'Get Paid......' and there are discussions about all the sites that pay and the members there show proof of payments received. It's so helpful and you can find out which sites are good to join, and you can be kept informed of new ones opening and other things going on with the industry. People are making a nice little bit of money with these sites, and it can really be a help for stay at home moms, retired or disabled people, or just for people who want some extra money for whatever reason.

I am a member of my points and have been for years you can earn points for reading emails, ebay purchases, surveys and lots more. Points can be redeemed for gift certificates for most any where from red lobster to walmart. If any one is interested I will be glad to send them a referral the referral will automatically put points in your account just for being a referral.

[lorisnuts]

Sunshine rewards is a great program. easy to earn giftcards by doing surveys, signing up for offers, shopping and clicking links in emails. i've been with the program for about 1 1/2 years. you can even redeem for disney giftcards or disney dollars!!!! really worth the time.

[gingefur]

Harris Poll is pretty cool. I have been taking surveys from them for a couple of years now. They are usually about consumer related things and politics. I have received free a year subscription to Jane and now I have a 6 month subscription to Rolling Stone. I almost have enough points for another magazine. They offer other things as well, but magazines are my favorite. It takes awhile to receive your freebies after you order them, but it is well worth it.

[lizmolik]

Has anyone tried Inbox Dollars? Just wondering the opinoin on this survey site?

[celtmaidn]

There is a discussion that has been going on for some time in Annika's on the pro's and con's of that site. It may help you decide if it is worth spending time on that site. It is listed in the warnings section of her site. Some people have had luck with it, others not. I fell into the "Not" group.

I'm not sure if I can post the link to the thread here, so I will chance it.:confused:
Just in case it gets edited out, google Annika's, for me it is the first to come up on the page. The thread is listed under "Warnings" on her page, and of course look for Inbox Dollars.

[VanillaBean]

I am currently doing this one but I did find out that you have to earn money buy doing trial offers. Which means signing up and giving out credit card numbers- on top of which then you have to call and cancel whatever you signed up for. They do have free trial offers, but very few. Then you have to earn $30.00 before they will send you any check and then lol it costs $3.00 fee to send check. It took a long time for me to get to that amount- and then it won't even come till September 11th. This is definitely a iffy site!!:(

[shar930]

I have been a memeber to the survey sites listed and many more. I make quite a bit at times and other times not so much. Alot will pay you with points, but all you have to do is let your points add up.When I reach whatever limit I have decided to cash in my points: I have received 3-$100.00checks. I also test products at home, sometimes I do focus groups online and get paid for those.I have received a digital camera from zoompanel,a sterling silver bracelet with sapphires & diamonds,gift certificates,game controllers for PS2 game sysmtem,accessories for Gameboy Advance SP,dvd movies & sometimes I am paid in amazon.com gift certificates. I do alot of my birthday & christmas shopping this way, too. It beats paying out of the wallet when you don't have money available. And I enjoy giving my opinion and possibily testing products at home. If you want more info just left me know.

[arsaivi]

Thank you for your input about these companies....I had gotten a couple emails recently from a couple and didn't know if they really paid $$ or not!:confused: This does help out!;)

HI.. i do the surveys too..& one site opinionoutpost is good too

[Bat_Elohim]

I've been a member of MySurvey.com for about two years. It is awesome. You usually get 10 pts. for taking a survey. However, there are opportunities to get more pts. You also get points for referrals. You earn $10 for every 1000 pts. which they send as a check in the mail. You can also choose prizes or donate your earnings to charity. I had been saving my pts. for about five months and I just spent them to get a $30 check, which I cashed yesterday. I've made about $90 the past two years. Don't expect to be about to quit your day job, but it is definitely worth sitting on your bottom answering questions. :)

I have been a member for over 30 years, lol, way back when everything was done through the mail, still get some that way now and then, but it is so much easier to do on line now, and to get some extra cash is even nicer. I just cashed a check for $20.00 and already have over 1000 points but I think I will let it build up a bit more, I have been lucky lately doing good surveys for 500 points and some for 250, adds up quick and I like having the messenger to let me know when a survey is available, but I do check in everyday hoping that I will one day win that daily prize of $100.00 (1000 points) so far nada......

I 'buy' a raffle ticket every month for each of the prizes. In December I won the 26" HD TV worth $1,000!! I chose the cash instead! Boy, was that nice!! ;)

That is awesome! I've been a member of MySurvey.com for years as well, but I've never bought a raffle ticket thinking I'd never win. It's nice to see that someone does! Congrats!

[LisaRKR]

One of my favorite survey sites is Global Test Market. You earn points even if you don't qualify for a survey, you just earn more points for the ones you do. Every point is worth $.05, I now have 2176 points which is worth $108.80. They send out a lot of surveys and if you stay on top of it, you can make some money with them. You do have to ac***ulate 1000 points to withdraw your money, but it doesn't take much for that.

Hope some of you will try this and enjoy it.

[L711inda]

Thank you!! :) It was so exciting! The best part is the notification email was in my spam folder!! Thank heavens I read spam when I'm not sure if it's rally spam or not! And the email started with, "Congratulations, you won....." I thought to myself, "Yeah, right." LOL Long story, but I went to their website and got the phone number and called them and they verified that I indeed had won!! And then I got my money! I have thousands of points in my account so I buy one raffle ticket for each of the raffle prizes every month. Maybe lightning'll strike twice!! ;)

[celtmaidn]

WOW! I never enter any of the "Raffles" because I didn't believe anyone actually won them. I just thought they were all bogus.

[L711inda]

WOW! I never enter any of the "Raffles" because I didn't believe anyone actually won them. I just thought they were all bogus.

Nope! Completely legit! They have a Winners Page on the site and I was on it! All of those listed there have actually won! They put every winner's name (first name, last initial), on there. And what's really nice is that if you win a prize you're allowed to take the cash value instead, like I did! I would have loved the TV cuz I'm still sitting here with a 19" one, but I needed the cash more than I needed a TV at the time.

[wbarker]

FYI - I know some people have had a bad experience with Inbox Dollars, but I just received a $50 check from them (I've been a member since May or June I think). You have to be aware of the fine print . . .

You must keep your account active by clicking on 8 out of 10 of the emails they sent you just before they send your check. . . the other bit of fine print. . . . They process your check about 1 month after you request it.

If you have questions, or are interested, PM me.

I've had a lot of luck with this site, and with Mypoints.

If anyone needs a referral to either one, just let me know!

[bugspost]

I do online surveys and really like Opinion Outpost, Survey Savvy, Survey Spot and MyView. Pinecone Research is good too.........they pay $5 for each survey. :)

[ilove2sample]

I would like to join the pineconeresearch survey. I checked out the site today and found no way to join. Do you know when they are having open registration? Thanks!!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

They make it nearly impossible to join. Personally, I've given up. Good luck!

I've kind of given up joining too. I've applied 3 times, and nothing! Wish I was one of the "chosen", but will have to live without for now!!

[VanillaBean]

Pinecone is all luck to sign up- I finally found a banner- got included but have only taken 2 surveys in 4 months time- Opinion Outpost- SurveySpot- GlobalTestMarket- those sites are sooo worth it. I also do InboxDollars and got one check from them so far.

[celtmaidn]

I used to get 1 pinecone survey a week, then it slowed to every other week, now I think it's once every three of four weeks. And today, I got one that was for a "Drawing". yuck.

I hate that garbage :mad:

[bugspost]

Pinecone seems to be hot or cold. This week I did 3 surveys-$15 but before that it was over 3 weeks ago.........overall, the surveys are pretty easy for $5
I have done 18 surveys since joining in April............so earned $90. I do like Opinion Outpost a lot.........only been with them a couple of months and have earned $51.50. Imagine a lot is just the demographics. Have been with Survey Spot and Survey Savvy a long time and enjoy their surveys. :)

[lizmolik]

I have been a member of pincone for awille and have only gotten 2-$2 surveys and 1-$3 survey!

[celtmaidn]

I had heard they were going to do $2 and $3 surveys, but didn't know they were actually doing it. Some of the really short ones would be worth $2 or $3, but generally speaking, I think I would be a little put off. I have done surveys for them for over 2 years at $5 per, other than the "3001" surveys designed to update our info. I was rather upset with the one I did the other day that was for a drawing.

not happy
not at all

[rdginto]

I have noticed alot of these websites that say they will pay you cash (or prizes) for doing short surveys. Are they safe or a scam? I'm not looking to make tons of money or for a quick money making sceme but hey if someone is really paying for my opinion I don't mind taking the several minutes to fill them out. But I wanted to see if anyone else has ever done them and if you've come across any problems. For instance, on the Start Sampling site a few days back there was a banner at the top for FreeFly's.

Can anyone tell me more about these survey companies or what is expected from an everyday person like me.... Thanks.

I moved your post to this thread...here are some good tips to read and you are more apt to get an answer here, goodluck. :)

[LORITHECHICK]

I only do mysurvey.com, after you get 1000 points you can get a check for $10. I maybe get $30-40 a year. I'm on the computer anyway during the day so I might as well. Most of the surveys are about products, sometimes I get free stuff to try and complete a survey, those are always fun to get in the mail.

[rdginto]

Thank you for that info....I'll look into them and keep looking back here for any others....

You could look into myview.com, they pay cash into your paypal account, are very consistent, and although it usually takes a couple of weeks to get paid, you will be paid. It takes a while because, like many other companies, you have to wait until the study closes. But it is a good company. Check into them. I have been doing surveys with them for AGES. At least 5 years that I can think of.

[Emma777]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Lightspeed Panel (http://us.lightspeedpanel.com/index.html). I've been a member there for a number of years and they're my favorite survey site - I also do Harris Poll and e-Rewards, which I also don't think anyone mentioned (it's sponsor invitation only, but pays cash like some of the other survey sites mentioned). Lightspeed gives you points that you can redeem for tons of stuff, I usually redeem for Amazon gift cards - I've probably gotten over $500 in Amazon gift cards from them in the past 5 years or so! They do lots of product testing surveys where they send you products to test, that's my favorite part, if anyone likes doing that sort of thing.

[Jaymison84]

I use http://www.sendearnings.com you can't request a check from them until after $30. They do paid emials.... where you all you have to do is open and read the email(which I rarely do), but they will give you like $.02 an email. The more you do the more they send you too.

inboxdollars, surveyspot, and zoompanel are all good ones!

Seems like I looked them up online a few months back and something about them made me uncomfortable. It's been a few months, though. I can't remember exactly why I passed them up.

[5onit]

i researched them too and everything was abbout how it was spam so i didnt activate my account

[5onit]

has anyone ever heard or tryed these sites
www.clearvoicesurveys.com
surveypayoff.com
prizebook.com

[VanillaBean]

I do Clear voice surveys- they are ok-but do not send surveys that often.

[Mishkia]

Does anyone know anything about Panda Research?

I looked into it and wasnt impressed then my sister told me they wanted her CC for some reason... I told her no way, dump them and run.

[Mishkia]

I use http://www.sendearnings.com you can't request a check from them until after $30. They do paid emials.... where you all you have to do is open and read the email(which I rarely do), but they will give you like $.02 an email. The more you do the more they send you too.

I have cashed out with SendEarnings.. took a while to get the check and they do charge a 3.00 ish fee but for no more than I put into it.. it was worth it.

[Mishkia]

Lightspeed is not currently allowing people to join :(

I dont think you are missing much.. lol I have been with them for a while and seldom qualify for a survey.. may just be my demographics.. :rolleyes:

[5onit]

is most of sendearnings offers were you have to pay to get money.
it seems to have those weird offers like points2shop has. does anyone like points2shop i have $10.37 in amazon money wth them none if only i could use it for other online shops

[laf76]

I have had good luck with survey spot. Greenfield and Lightspeed I have not. I had one the other day where I was to listen to 579 clips of christmas music and tell whether I had heard that version of the song or not. Listen to this...........all for a dollar. I passed. would take forever. I also have good results with aol opinion place but you gotta have aol as ISP. Haven't gotten anything good yet from Pinecone either.

[laf76]

has anyone ever heard or tryed these sites

I use clear voice too but do not get a lot of surveys.

anyone tryed moola its fun and weird if you want in i pm me

www.harrispollonline.com

www.zoompanel.com

These are the 2 that I do .. I love doing surveys to get points and trade in for prizes that I pick. In September, I had traded in some points on zoompanel for a fondue set .. the only problem I had was that it was supposed to take only 2-3 weeks for it to arrive and it took them almost 8 weeks, but I did get my fondue set, it's really cute and I can't wait to start making some chocolate suckers and stuff. But because of me keeping on them about not receiving it yet, they are also sending me a free 10 dollar barnes & noble gift card for the trouble. My hubby will love the GC. :)

[5onit]

i like zoompanel as well i get a survey from them almost everyday

[5onit]

i was thinking would mediadollarz, sendearnings, points2shop and sites like that be considered survey sites

[cath_31]

i was thinking would mediadollarz, sendearnings, points2shop and sites like that be considered survey sites

I am not familiar with all of them, but I think they are click-to-earn sites. I know that inboxdollars and sendearnings are almost the exact same thing. I think that they are run by the same company actually. Sometimes they offer surveys you can take, but they are mainly "shopping" type sites. If you purchase through or click on their emails you get points.

[laf76]

I was always under the impression that you had to have aol to do surveys on opinion place. I checked and you do not. They can pay in paypal or some sort of frequent flyer miles. Sorry if you all already knew this. I was reviewing some of the post and did not see it ( or don't think I did). Anyway, I have been doing this for sooooooo long. In November, I had 27.00 put into my checking account (AOL members only can do this and it posts within 4-5 days......other payment method may take longer) and I can take a survey every 7 days. Seems like everyday I get an email inviting me to a special survey that does not count towards my surveys every 7 days. Anyway, this is about the only place I have made money this quick! Anyone else use this?

www.opinionplace.com

[momsangel]

(AOL members only can do this and it posts within 4-5 days......other payment method may take longer) and I can take a survey every 7 days

Question about AOL users are you getting money in your checking account or does it go towards your AOLbill? I ask because this is what I found; Upon completion of a survey, an Opinion Place credit will be applied to your
AOL billing statement. Credit amounts are awarded based upon survey length.

[laf76]

My AOL is directly debited from my checking account. So, my money earned is credited to my debit account. So, I still am debited 9.99 a month for aol.

[momsangel]

:) Ok Thank you,just wanting to make sure I read it correctly.

Yes, I have been a member for YEARS! I don't receive as many surveys as I did when my children were younger, but still receive them throughout the year. Always fast and prompt payment for doing them.

[Kimberly]

I've been to a few sites but all i see is alot of spam and i don't want that, i want to find a survey site that is free and that pays you either in point, money or both. Does anyone know of any good sites?

Thanks:)

[messajarjar]

I've been on MySurvey.com for aboutr 4 years or so now. They give you points and you can cash them in for raffle tickets, prizes or cash (every 1000 points is $10-must do increments of $10). I must say, I get at least 5-6 surveys a month and have gotten anywhere from 10-1000 points depending on what I need to do. You also get poiunts for referring new members. PM me if you want me to send you a link. Sometimes they send you new products to try like PineCone. I usually save my points until the end of the year and cash them in mid November so I have some extra cash. This year I got a $70 check! It's like my own little Christmas Club but I don't have to put the money in myself!!!:p

I have been a member for almost 35 years......when I started everything was through the mail, and no points! once in a while they would send a dollar or 2, this is so much easier on the computer, I have gotten some nice things to try out over the years, just recently I got 20lb. bag of Iams Dog Food and a bag of Lay's potato chips.

[messajarjar]

Me too! Only I got the cat food! That lasted a looonnnnggg time!!!!

:)

[messajarjar]

Another another awesome site is MyPoints. I think I've been on this one for at least 7 or 8 years now. You get points just for reading emails and also for buying products from the places online that they are affiliated with. I get a lot of points for EBay purchaes and ITune downloads. Thay also send surveys and have a game site that connects with them and gives you points as well. Just like MySurvey, you get points for referrals too! I just cashed in a Shell card with them yesterday! That's the 5th or 6th oine I've gotten in the last few years. Free gas-always a good thing!!! :p

[lolly09]

Hi all just wanted to say that My Survey is as legit as it gets. I won the July/Aug sweepstakes for $10000 and I just started doing surveys with them last year. The check was delivered to my door and I already cashed it. So for anyone with doubts they are the real deal.

I too belong to MyPoints and have for many years. LOVE the site and have never been disappointed with how fast they send out your rewards you choose when redeeming your points.

Now honey, you're gonna have to prove it. Just send $1000 to me and I'll totally believe it! :p LOL

[lolly09]

mood4amelody it's very really quite alright and my prove is that I am now debt free. No more credit card bills.:) lol.

I also belong to Zoompanel and I recently cashed in my points for a gift card and cookbook. Another one I have joined and gotten something back from is globaltestmarket I cashed in my points for a $50 check and I am expecting another one on the way. I am racking up points on mypoints but I haven't cashed it in yet.

I just cashed in mine and got a book (The Codex by Preston/Child-I love all their Pendergast books!) I got it in 3 days!

I also just cashed in for a $50 Shell card at MyPoints and am working towards another one.

I did really well with MyCokeRewards. I cashed in most of my points for a virtual visa...they send you the info...and it could be used for any purchase online because you don't get the actual plastic. Anyway, I went to Amazon.com and bought a $25 virtual gift certificate with it and then my son ordered two video games and only wound up paying $15 for them both. Feee super saver shipping too! Woo-hoo!!! :p

[cath_31]

Someone was asking about this, so ...... BUMP :D

[sugarlamb]

I didn't find any previous threads about this. www.epinions.com

Epinions.com is a good place to read reviews of products, and I have used it for years. I recently found out that you can get paid for writing reviews on this site. You get paid each time someone clicks your review. It's only cents per click, so that can take a while to add up, but if you like writing reviews it can be fun. They are also offering a $10 for 10 each month. If you write 10 reviews over 200 words, you get $10. It's pretty easy to write 200 words. You can cash out after $10. I did the 10 for 10 in February. I'm going to try to do another 10 this month.

You write the product review and other members will rate it helpful, very helpful, etc. The better the rating, the higher up on the list you are. The higher up you are, the more people will click on your review.

If you enjoy writing reviews, this is a fun thing to do. Look at other reviews to get ideas about how the reports a written. Once you write a few it gets easier.

[LadyAlexis]

Thanks Sugarlamb, I love to type/write. :D
Do u need 4 me 2 use u as a referral?
I'm gonna go sign up now

[sugarlamb]

You can use me as a referral if you would like. I will PM you. Thanks.

[LadyAlexis]

Ok, lol, I'm confused, do I search for products I already have used or have, Or do they send me stuff to review(wishing hard)? How do I do this?:confused:

[sugarlamb]

You look for products that you have used, and review those. Sorry for any confusion!

[LadyAlexis]

No Im just havin a dumb day:rolleyes: , I get it and Im signing up now.
Thank You:D

I moved you into the survey site thread......

[unclepatty62]

I have been a member of inbox dollars and send earnings(a sister company, I think) for about a year. All I do is read the emails they send, plus try to qualify for a survey everyday. I got a check from them last year for $30.00. I have about $60.00 in my account now. I'm saving until I get $100.00. I figured out that if I do a survey for send earnings or memomail it will knock me out of one for inbox dollars. So I choose inbox dollars to try and build up the most money. I always go to that one first. If they don't send me an email that day, I've got them bookmarked so I can go to them first. I also got a check from send earnings last year also. I hope this helps with any questions about these two companies.;)

I do InboxDollars and SendEarnings too and they are ok. You need to earn $30 from them before you can get the money. I am really close at InboxDollars, I have a little over $28 so pretty soon I can get it. An even better click-to-earn site, in my opinion is MyPoints. You earn gift cards- there are many different ones, but I like the gasoline ones (I received a $10 one so far and am saving up for a $25 one now). If you want a referral to that, you could PM me your name and email address and I can do that for you. Just an idea for you. I also do Memolink (info on that one is in the very first post).

[cath_31]

Since I started this thread, I thought I would update my first post with the new totals of what I have earned from each site along with the new ones I am also doing. So if you want are interested, you can look back at the first post. :) Hope you all are enjoying some of these sites as well.

[ibeapoet]

i'm signed up with www.opinionplace.com they allow you to take 1 survery every week or two and in return they pay you between 2 and 4 dollars. No joke!!!! 100% real. They have several ways to recieve your payment. You can have it posted to your paypal account, the card on file with aol, and a couple of other ways. Check it out. I've been doing these surverys for over 6 months now. It's not a lot of money, but as a stay at home mom, i'll take what i can get.:D :D

[jalucia]

I verify cath's endorsement of these programs. I belong to all of these programs and have been paid by most. They are legit. The only one I am not sure of is Your2Cents. They used to be a fav of mine. But, I haven't received any invitations from them. I also requested a check for the balance of my account, and have not received it, yet. The very same thing is going on with me and Opinion Outpost. Does anyone know about these two programs - Opinion Outpost and Your2cents? Are they still up and running?

[bugspost]

Opinion Outpost is definitely still running. I completed a survey last night for 30 points. (make sure to log on and check for surveys to do as I found I had 3 on there)
How long ago did you request check?? Once, I did not receive a $35 check and they had to reissue it.........took a while....but normally you get the check within a couple of weeks of requesting it.

Their policy is:
You must have a minimum of 50 Opinion Points to redeem them. Please allow 4-8 weeks for Opinion Point check processing and delivery

As far as 2 cents.........I am a member and just logged in and there is a survey for me to do........although I never received an email.

Viewpoint is finally taking referrals again.............you get 100 points for first five you refer. I hit that a long time ago..............but could refer someone and then, they could refer 5 and so on and so on...........don't want to waste referring if noone gets points for it.

I don't get as many surveys from Your2Cents like I used to, but they are still around. I just got one the other day, but I didn't end up qualifying for it :( . I wish they still gave you at least the 20 cents when you don't qualify, but too bad they don't do that anymore.

[bugspost]

Well, at least I did get to complete the survey........it was $2.

[cath_31]

I have a question. Has anyone requested payment for InboxDollars and had them say they were taking $3 out for a processing fee to send the check? I am up to $31 and they say I can get $28 because of that fee. That doesn't seem fair to me. Does anyone know if they offer a Paypal transfer or something else where they don't charge a fee? I have never had a company do that before. They send the check for the amount you earn or transfer it thru Paypal. If anyone knows another company that takes money out when you request payment, please post that as well. Thanks.

[Eric333]

Revolution Money Exchange takes $2.50 to have a check sent

[cath_31]

A couple of people lately have PMed me about referring them to some of these programs. I am happy to do this, but I would need your name and email in order to. The company would then send you an email 'invitation' to join if you do it that way. So if anyone is interested, that is the information I would need when you PM me. I have messaged 2 of you back about this, but haven't heard back from you, so I thought I would add this post as well. Thanks.

[unclepatty62]

Inbox Dollars does take $3 to process your check. I just found out today they are only paying $.50 for their surveys now, when before they paid $1.00 You would think they would at least have the courtesy to contact their members ahead of time about this change. I'm not sure their surveys are worth the trouble anymore. I've never had a survey from them that was shorter in length than 15 minutes.To everyone that I recommended this company to; I am truly sorry.

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that they had lowered the amount for their surveys either. I guess I shouldn't complain about getting $28 because that is still good, but it would have been nice for them to let us know upfront about that "fee" and like you said, to keep us informed when they change things.

[loveafreebie]

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago there was a discussion about legitimate survey websites. There were a few recommended but I cant find the info...Can you PLEASE recommend some more for me.

Thanks so much!!

I just cashed out with Inbox and after I get it I'll be closing my acc., I am not going to do 20-30 min. surveys for .50... lol same with Send Earnings! GLA!

[vizx26]

hey guys im new to this forum! which survey sites pay you thru paypal? and do you have to pay taxs on this stuff?

sorry if these are dumb questions!

which are the top 3 sites?

[atianah]

Well I am not sure if you have to pay taxes and which use paypal. I found a couple of sites that I found are informative. Here are the links:

http://www.earnontheside.com/?page_id=13
It gives a short description of survey websites.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080412193559AAfTmmg
There are different answers from people to the question - Online paid surveys that are 4 real?

So far and recently I have only joined SurveySpot. I have taken $23.00 dollars worth of surveys in the past month that I have qualify for. The only thing is I have to wait around six weeks for the credit which is supposed to appear under rewards in my account then I can claim it. I very much new to it so I am still waiting to see how well it works for me.

[vizx26]

Pinecone ? anyone found a link

[cath_31]

hey guys im new to this forum! which survey sites pay you thru paypal? and do you have to pay taxs on this stuff?

sorry if these are dumb questions!

which are the top 3 sites?

I am not an expert on this, but my understanding is that you don't need to pay taxes on it unless you make more than $600 in a year from one company. I could be wrong, but that is what I have heard.

Did you read the first post. I recently updated it and it shows how much I have made from the different sites and my opinions on them.

To answer your question about Pinecone, there is another thread about it and they post where you can find a banner there. Countrypkin65 (Pamela) last posted it was available on this site: http://www.delphiforums.com/
You may have to keep refreshing the page to get it to show up. Good luck!

A company would need your social security number to report sending you a check as a payment. If you have given your social security number and recieved a check then I would suggest reporting it as income regardless of the amount.

[leona204]

I received my first $3 check from Pinecone last week and I just requested a $3 check from surveysavvy. I really enjoy taking surveys, and it's great that you get paid for them. I have $21 in my inbox dollars account and can't wait til I can get that $30 check. I don't like the fact that you get 50 cents now rather than $1 for taking surveys as some people have already complained about in this post, but I gotta keep going now. I wish I would have joined these survey companies years ago. It's a great way to earn extra cash!! :D

[bvanpeltsw]

Ok I have been using Opinion Place for years now. I just switched my payment over to Paypal and I received a message stating that it takes 3-4 weeks for me to receive my credit.

Does it really take that long?:eek:

hi has anyone here heard of marketviewresearch.com i just signed up for it because i heard in another forum that they send you out products to test atleast twice a month.Has anyone had experience with them?If so was it good or bad?is it alot of work? im not a big fan of survey sites because i dont have time or patience to wait a year or two to make 60 bucks so i think product testing is more my thing i can receive the product and give back honest feedback while being able to keep the product.Any input would be greatly appreciated you guys.Thanks in advance :)

I just went and read everything at that site and no where did I see where they said they mail out anything to test, they do not even offer a token amount of money to do surveys, just a drawing to possibly win something. Here is a statement right from the site.

Join the MarketView Research panel today and you will be entered to win valuable prizes every time you answer a survey. As a member of our panel you will be asked to participate in online surveys that will be e-mailed to you. Your responses to these online surveys will directly influence the decisions that companies make in the marketing and design of their products or services. At times we might ask you to visit a specific website and give your opinion about it. Other times, we will e-mail you an invitation with a link that will take you to an online survey, which may include graphics or a virtual product.

I've been on Inbox Dollars for about a year now and it took me about 9 months to get to the $30 mark. I just checked and I have just over $4 now :eek: . Anyway, referrals get you $5 each , but there's a catch. You only get credited when your referral does their first check request. So you can imagine how long that process takes! Anyway, it's just a click through so it buils up eventually. Money is money no matter how you get there so I'll take it!!!! :cool:

hi has anyone here heard of marketviewresearch.com i just signed up for it because i heard in another forum that they send you out products to test atleast twice a month.Has anyone had experience with them?If so was it good or bad?is it alot of work? im not a big fan of survey sites because i dont have time or patience to wait a year or two to make 60 bucks so i think product testing is more my thing i can receive the product and give back honest feedback while being able to keep the product.Any input would be greatly appreciated you guys.Thanks in advance :)

I am signed up with Marketview Research and have done a few product tests. They were for nice products. You will not get paid, but you do get the product to try out and keep.

Did anyone else get the dollar survey that only lasted 13 minutes from Inbox Dollars? I used to do a survey a day with them, but since they changed how much they pay for a survey, I haven't done a survey in weeks. Then I got this one. What's up with that?:confused:

Nope, I didn't get that one. I've only been doing the 50 cent surveys here lately. I would like to get a few $1.00 ones though. I'm within $4 of having $30 in my account.

I got an offer to join ZoomPanel for $1.25 in my InboxDollars account. I used to belong to ZoomPanel, but then they stopped sending me surveys. Signing up again helped me because I was trying to get a check for $30 from InboxDollars (they take out a $3 processing fee). I am now able to request the check :) .

Brandy, I've been getting requests to take $5 surveys.....are they legit? Have you been getting paid?

I've also been doing pinecone for about 2 months or so....tested some products, and have gotten paid maybe around $30 so far. I'm glad ya'll keep us up to date on the reputable companies out there!

I've been getting offers from Buzzback as well but have never done their surveys. The money sounds nice but I have no idea who they are? Anyone have experience with them?

Memo link FYI: points for surveys, trivia, and the points for clicking on the site of the day are now 10pts each in honor of their anniversary.

Also click on the banner on the top of the memolink page, then click on the memolink give a ways and look for your name. Every day in Nov., they are giving ten random memolink member a bag of memolink goodies. You have to e-mail them to claim your prize.

Pinecone is a legit survey company. They pay you $3 per survey plus enter you in their sweepstakes and the day after you do the survey. You used to have to look for their banner to sign up but now they are looking for members.
Also at times, they may send a product for you to test.

They no longer are offering the registration as they have signed up a bunch. But you can look for their banner on other sites.

I've been a member of Harris Poll for almost 7 years. I enjoy their surveys and have received two new pieces of luggage for my time. Yes, it took years to accumulate enough points to get something of that magnitude, but I find it worth it.

I am also a member of www.e-rewards.com. This also emails surveys to you, and you accumulate points (dollars) in an e-rewards account to redeem for gift cards to Target, Barnes & Noble or hotel rewards programs as well as frequent flier programs.

Here is a list of sites that I have been paid through:

Lightspeed surveys http://us.lightspeedpanel.com/
I joined about a week or so ago and have already cashed out $5 paypal.
You do surveys and get points or product testing.

Swagbucks http://swagbucks.prodege.com/?cmd=home
Just do normal searches and you sometimes will get bucks. If you refer people with your account, you also get every buck that they get.

www.MyPoints.com I don't buy anything online through them. Just click on the emails that they send me and the occasional easy point programs that they have like clipping coupons,etc. I have cashed out 3 Shell gas cards this year so far and in December I will be able to cash out another.

PineCone, which everyone has already talked about. I joined in August and have received two $3 checks so far and another is on the way.

Zoom Panel http://www.zoompanel.com/
I just in August and cash out 1000 points for a DVD for my children for Christmas.

My payment has been pending for 2 months and I am being told they are having "software issues." I am not happy and I cannot get anyone to give me a legitimate answer.

I think that e-rewards has different programs/prizes depending on what you signed up for. I am a member, but the only choices I can get is money in my Upromise account. I do not have the option of any gift cards at all. Maybe this is why you have different rewards available from the other person. Just a possibility.

I had problems with them in the past also, I emailed them and they said they would look into it, and then issued me a check. It said pending for months....they are not too swift, I am now waiting for another check, so far nothing.

That could be, I emailed them and asked them if they offered Target GC and all they said is that they are working on adding items to their choices...nothing specific. I wish they would offer something else, the money in that account only stays for 1 year, I have about 100 dollars in there. There is nothing that I want from all the choices I have.

No, Pinecone sent out an email to members when they were looking to sign up more and they said we could share the link with anyone interested in joining. It no longer works because they have signed up a bunch. (I contacted and asked them)
So now it is back to how it was before.........looking for a Pinecone banner to sign up.

I just checked in the site, I signed up for my check Nov. 21, so I have a wait! Here is what it says about payments...now what I want to know is this, if it says sent why in the heck would it take 4-6 to get it? Idiots...

Reward Payment Status:
"Pending" indicates that your check is being processed. It will be sent to you soon.
"Sent" indicates that your check has been sent to the home address we have on file for you. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
"Returned" indicates that we had the wrong home address on file for you. Please update your address by clicking here – Update Contact Information.
"Reprinting" indicates that your check is being reprinted due to a mailing address update. It will be sent to you soon.

Has anyone noticed a difference in the amount of surveys you have received from companies in the past couple days?

I received 16 just TODAY. And they were all paying companies. Very weird.:confused:

[GrapeKoolaid]

I've had a definite increase in the number I'm getting, but I also seem to be disqualified from 90% of them, too. Greenfield in particular --they take me to the page where they ask "Are you ****?" and you click on yes, and they say "thanks, but sorry you don't qualify." Really??? Then why did you send me the invitation???? :p

[VanillaBean]

I think it has to do with 1- the economy...businesses still want to know what we are interested in buying and 2- the holidays..... I have gotten a crap load of surveys from all my places over the last month and half- and last night did an interactive one for an hr and made $20!!!

They do offer a sweepstakes entry now for the household surveys- did you notice that. I agree with VanillaBean- Pinecone has been very good to me, it's still the most reliable. Some of the others you answer alot of questions and then find out you don't qualify. You know that when Pinecone sends you a regular survey you will get the $3 for it (and maybe get to try something).

[bvanpeltsw]

I am beyond annoyed at these survey companies and how long they take to pay you. Pinecone is great, but the others.....not so much! :rolleyes:

I always got an email stating they were going to expire and they were letting me roll them over.

[cath_31]

For those of you that are members of e-rewards. When your expiration date is coming up, do you get an e-mail reminding you that your money is going to expire?

I didn't see a reminder and my points expired. I contacted them and asked them what happened to my points? (I didn't know that they expired). They did me a favor and re-instated them- THANK GOODNESS! I have to be more careful with that.

[pjays]

I have been a member of this program for six years now. I either get an e-mail warning that my points will expire or that I took so many surveys that they will roll my current rewards into the next year. My husband joined last January so feb. 1st they took 75% of his rewards away. They did not give him notice at all. He e-mailed and eventually they rewarded him back all his rewards. I have read on other forums that even though in the past they warned people their points were going to expire or extend the year. They haven't been this year and people are mad.

Pinecone pays via Pay Pal, but you need a referral.
Viewpoint is by referral, but right now, the referral program has temporarily been suspended. I just joined Viewpoint recently from a referral from someone here, just did an online Focus Group discussion the other day which paid 750 points...700 = $20.00 so that was a good one! MySurvey is a good site, but they do not pay via Pay Pal yet.

Well, you would simply declare it as other income on your 1040.

Now, if you do a lot..........or like me, combine it w/mystery shopping......
I actually fill out SCH C.......for independent contractor.......I list all my income from mystery shops/surveys.........then deduct mileage, business expenses........i.e. internet charges, paper,ink, etc.
the final figure....would be business loss or gain I put on 1040.

I would imagine you would have to really be earning a lot to justify being an independent contractor for just online surveys..........

I have updated my original post a little again. Recently Your2Cents and Greenfield have merged with Toluna. Has anyone used Toluna before and have an opinion it?

Pinecone is still the best IMO. Anyone have an update on what their favorite is nowadays?

MyPoints is still my favorite click-to-earn site. Anyone else's opinions?

I get emails from Toluna all the time but never done one w/them.
Pinecone still my fav.........they pay so quickly...next day via paypal.
