wrapping this year up

traditionally december is a very slow month for surveys, i have a few scheduled for the month and i dont think i'll get many more until January of next year, Luckily with all the delays, I should still bank about $400 next month, just with cashouts and the sort.  Here are the sites I'm still using, some are great and some not so much, but hey, the more I have signed up with the more opportunities I have to earn

 

 

 

Survey Sites

 

Global Test Market: A great site where you earn points that convert to cash. I get about 4 surveys a week from them, each with between 25 and 100 points for completion. I DO NOT complete the sweepstakes surveys, why do it for entries when they can pay you cash. Offers an affiliate program to gain more points.  Payout is $50.00 or 1000 points.

AIM For few cities around the US however, Top Paying Focus groups… Range from $45 to $150 an HOUR, Pay via check on the spot.

Trotta For California only. Top Paying Focus groups… Range from $45 to $150 an HOUR, Pay via check or cash on the spot.

Toluna: Pays via check or rewards cards BUT Be careful with these tricky guys. $20.00 = 60,000 points. Most of their surveys will say 30 minutes for 900 points. thats only $0.30.. Do NOT complete a survey unless it pays you at LEAST $0.10 a minute.. Thats 12000 for 40 mins, etc.. Do the math!

My Opinion Now  Slow with their surveys but do HUGE product tests, which are great and often pay via check. Keep invites and make sure that they credit.

American Consumer Panel – Once you earn 10 US dollars ($) in your account to request a cash-out via paypal or check, but its not instant, can take up to 2 weeks to receive payment. Each survey amount varies but I do get some great product tests (PTs) from them.

Opinion Outpost: A new favorite of mine. Pays between 20 and 50 points per survey. Points convert directly to cash. Currently pays via INSTANT amazon (via email for safety) but working on adding paypal (hopefully). Each point equals $0.10. Offers an affiliate program to gain more points.

My Survey: A site where you earn ‘points’ which can be converted to dollars. Earn points for joining, taking surveys and referring others, Redeem points for cash, prizes or charity donations with just a few simple clicks. 1,100 points = $10.00 cash via paypal. Just merged with Lightspeed (a previous favorite) so some kinks are being worked out.  Added perks.com rewards redemption so much faster and easier

Valued Opinions Average survey is around $2.00, cash out once you reach $20.00. The value of the rewards varies per survey and will be stated clearly on your invitation. Once your account reaches $20 you will be able to redeem your reward in the form of an amazon instant gift certificate. This has paid me well over time. This company has fallen out of my favor, they USED to be great, but are going through some issues.

Survey Spot:  Be entered to win in monthly drawings as well as some cash surveys.  Added paypal but also added this horrible points system, keep ALL survey invites that you complete. DO NOT Complete the survey until it pays you enough, My costs is simple, i have to have 10 point per minute, which equals $0.10 a minute. For example, I won’t do a survey unless it pays say 200 points = 20 min survey.

Clear Voice survey is around $2.00, cash out with $10.00 minimum. The value of the rewards varies per survey and will be stated clearly on your invitation. Recently they changed  it to be some very LOW paying surveys, I’ll leave it at your discretion whether you want to do them or not. They have paid me in the past but often times now are not worth the time it takes to complete. Payout is Amazon ($10.00) Payoneer Prepaid debit Mastercard ($10.00) and Dining Dough ($10.00).

Crowd Tap: This is a new site where you can win money for for contributing to discussions. It pays you directly and also makes a 5% donation to the charity of your choice. This is from the same company as Rep Nation, from which I won a free phone and some other goodies (including $50 cash). Not quite a survey company but not much effort required to get paid. Used to pay well, but have not kept up lately. I’ve stopped using them but its up to you.

Mindfield Online – Pays frequently and straight to your paypal. Surveys range from $1 to $4 each.

Socratic Forum Currently running a sweepstakes for new members. Every referral you get enters you to win $5,000, for you and your referral. List of previous rewards here Surveys are almost always for $3.00 and I have never had an issue.  Pays via amazon gift cards or donations to charity. Quick payout!

HCD Surveys Rewards are accumulated on a point system in which 100 points is equal to $1. Points can only be redeemed for US dollars. Paid via check. The amount of points/money you earn for each survey will vary for each survey. On average, you will earn between $1 (100 points) to $5 (500 points) per study.

Bellwether Surveys – To show you our appreciation for participating in online surveys or discussion groups, you will have the chance to win cash and prizes as well as earn money for your time.

Brand Institute Inc – Pays via paypal, 2 to 15 dollars a survey, possibly more. VIP referral after 6 months possible.

Opinion Place Instant rewards via paypal or amazon!

Decision Research To be paid for a study, you must answer all the questions seriously. Payment is not automatic. We look at the answers.  Payment is based on an estimate of $15 per hour of participation. Only one payment per person per survey will be paid.

SurveyHead, RP Surveys, Focusline Surveys all pay via paypal and are the same parent company. You CAN sign up for each site individually, but i HIGHLY recommend focusing on one site until you reach payout then working the others, If you complete a survey multiple times they will all be invalidated and you will receive nothing.
