Taking Online Surveys for $

[Shere_Khan]

My totals so far:

MySurvey.com - 2080 pts (which equals $20.80)

SurveySpot.com - $26 in my account and have received $10 so far for a total of $36.00

SurveySavvy - A total of $4.50 in my account

Your2Cents - A total of $6.00 in my account

Global Test Market - 530/1000 pts. So just a little over $25, can redeem for $50 when I reach 1000 pts.

Opinion Outpost - Received one check for $11.30 and have $16.30 in my account for an overall total of $27.60. This total has not changed since my last post. Surveys coming a little slower and have not qualified.

Lightspeed Panel - Have $10 in my paypal account and am now at another 150 pts towards the next $5

E-poll - 12,800 pts (have been on this site however for over a year). As of right now I could redeem for a $20 certificate from places like Target, Best Buy, or Olive Garden. This total has not changed since my last post.

American Consumer Opinion - Just qualifed for the first time with them today. I should be receiving $5 soon.

Totals: $109.90 cash (overall), $20 in gift certifcates

Amount Received: $21.30

So I posted last in the middle of the month, so I have made about $30 more in the last 15 or so days.

Hey Shere Khan - it seems to be flowing now! :sohappy: Keep it up.

I got a couple of checks in recently and will update the overalls later. It has been hit and miss on all sites recently but I have completed a couple surveys for $5 or under. The biggest thing that has happened was a survey thru SurveySpot that I took a week ago and upon completing asked if my wife would like to complete and in so doing might get $40! So the next week a survey came in for her and she completed it and it stated that the surveys were complete and that I would see the $40 in my account within 4-6 weeks (Standard). So that is the most I have ever made for a survey (actually two surveys 40 minutes each). I wish more like this would come in!

Also thought it funny that a new summer program that is coming out was one that I surveyed earlier this year. I laughed while watching the clips. The program is Wipeout!

I'm still at it! Just had a few comments for anyone interested:

I am waiting for two checks to come in from Your2Cents and then I am going to cancel this site. I have a couple of reasons:
1) They rarely send invitations to survey and when they do you have a chance at $1 to $5 per survey and it seems I most always get $1 (and you do not know what you earn until after the survey is complete).
2) They are too slow. After I request a check my account shows PENDING forever and then finally will show SENT. According to the site it states that when your account shows SENT it will take 4-6 weeks to receive your check. This is fine, just like others, but it has been taking 6-8 weeks to go from PENDING to SENT and then the 4-6 weeks to receive the check. Here is what I have requested:
Requested Check 2-20-08....Sent 3-28-08 (5 wks) + 4 wks to receive in the mail
Requested Check 3-10-08....Sent 4-29-08 (6 wks) + 4 wks to receive in the mail
Requested Check 3-28-08....Sent 5-23-08 (8 wks) + 4 weeks to receive in mail
Requested Check 4-19-08....Sent 6-5-08 (7 wks) have not received yet

I have been unlucky on Opinion Outpost. I really like this site but I have been on a cold streak as far as qualifing and taking a survey. Since 5-29-08 I have failed to qualify for 16 different surveys which offered over $80 worth of points.

On the good side I have completed another $10/1000 points from MySurvey (which I am waiting on) and almost another $50/1000 points from GlobalTestMarket! :sohappy:

Is anyone out there still taking any surveys? I have not heard from some of you lately. For anyone else that might look into it, good luck!

:wave: I just came upon this thread...

I've been a member of e-rewards for a few years and enjoy it. You never get cash back, but there are some good gift certificates. When I first signed up I was drawn to the Blockbuster rewards. I don't think I spent a dime renting movies with their gift certificates. Though then Netflix came along and we started redeeming other rewards.

I've done American Consumer Opinion and rarely ever get anything from them.

I signed up for Opinion Outpost, Surveyspot and MySurvey about a month and a half ago. I have 470 point in MySurvey (my fvorite so far of the three). I have not yet qualified for a survey from Opinion Outpost, so I have no points there. And Surveyspot must send me at least 3 surveys a day, but I never receive anything for completing them... is that normal? I just get a chance at their $25,000 or whatever drawing...:shrug:

This sounds typical to start. It took about a two months before I started receiving good surveys from Survey Spot and Global Test Market and ACO. I started out fast on Opinion Outpost but have slowed down and MySurvey has just been consistant. ACO has been sending me regular surveys for a while now after getting nothing for about 3 months. What I do on Survey Spot is do as many surveys as I can (not really trying to qualify on the little ones) so they see that I am interested and be ready to jump on any that mention money before everyone else gets them. So far so good. I just try to check the email and each site once or twice a day to get any surveys that pop up.

Good luck!

I'm apart of one of these survey websites, except they don't give out money, they give out gift certificates to stores. I'm working on a $50 gift card to use at American Eagle.

Kat - Glad to see you have started this. I am having really great results with it so far. It takes some time but is proving to be worth it.

Mysurvey and Opinion Outpost are the best in my opinion, although I agree with Keith that Opinion Outpost has been slow lately.

As far as SurveySpot, I used to take every survey offered just to show that I was doing it, then I got some dollar amount surveys offered. I have not had as much luck with it as Keith has, I only have $36 since February and he has over $100 but I still enjoy the site.

American Consumer has been picking up for me. It must have taken a few months to get rolling.

I will post an update on my totals later on.

 

[Shere_Khan]

Updates:

MySurvey.com: 2130 pts which equals to be $21.30. Still one of my favorite sites!

SurveySpot: $29.00 in my account and have already received $10 for a total of $39.00.

Survey Savvy: My account still holds $4.50, but I recently qualified for two more surveys that have not shown up yet. One for $2 and another for $3, so you should see some referral money Keith fairly soon.

Your2Cents: $6.00 in my account. By far the slowest site. Not real impressed.

GlobalTestMarket: 540/1000 pts (which equals $27.00) This site has slowed down tremendously.

Opinion Outpost: I've received $11.30 and have $20.90 in my account for a total of $32.20. I agree with Keith that it has slowed down a bit, but overall I am still qualifying for more then most sites on this one.

Lightspeed Panel: Have already received $10 in paypal money, and have another 150pts towards the next $5.

American Consumer Opinion: Finally received some surveys and qualified for two of them. I should be receiving $9 in the mail soon.

E-poll.com: 13,330 pts. Right now I could redeem for a $20 gift certificate to certain stores/restaurants.

Totals: $149.00 (when I receive everything) and $20 in gift certificates.

I am having really great results with it so far. It takes some time but is proving to be worth it.

:sohappy: Great to hear you are having some success! I will be canceling Your2Cents when I receive my final check. It just takes waaaaaaaaay to long to get checks. I have actually had really good luck with GlobalTestMarket lately. I am at 945/1000 and waiting a response on a 90 point survey that has not shown up yet. This second 1000 has come faster than the first 1000. Keep it up.

I went back and looked and my first 1000 points from GTM was completed 4-18-08 and my next 1000 will be here soon about 2 months later.

Finally qualified for a Lightspeed survey and it was a commercial study and very easy - about 25 minutes and I got 300 points.:sohappy:

Also, missed a Precast survey at Survey Spot because I did not answer the email quick enough. But it is good to see the precast survey showing up again, those are fun, easy and very rewarding!

I also have signed up for GreenfieldOnline and it has given me plenty of cash surveys and I have only tried a few due to time. They have had many surveys for $10, $5 and $1 each.

Keith

 

[k.hunter30]

Finally got an Opinion Outpost survey that I qualified for. Very simple survey for $2.00. I hope they send more my way!

 

[Shere_Khan]

Just completed a follow up survey at Lightspeed about a magazine that they recently sent me. I got 500 pts for it and it was surprisingly short.
Just redeemed for my next 5 dollars on paypal.

So lightspeed is getting much better in my opinion, although I really would rather not enter my bank account info to get the money transferred.

 

[New2WDW]

Survey Savvy: My account still holds $4.50, but I recently qualified for two more surveys that have not shown up yet. One for $2 and another for $3, so you should see some referral money Keith fairly soon.

I just saw an increase of $0.50 under my referrals! Thanks SK! :sohappy:

No problem!

That Lightspeed survey I was talking about had to do with an issue of Allure that they sent me.

Yesterday I received Glamour and Elle magazine also in the mail. I am not sure why these are coming to me. :shrug:
I hope that I didn't get signed up somehow because I am not paying for these.
Anyone else receiving magazines randomly?

Nope! I guess I would not be a prime canidate for these type of magazines.:lol:

 

[New2WDW]

I finally got another Precast survey!:sohappy: I got $5 for taking about a 5-10 minute survey on an upcoming TV show. I love these surveys!

 

[Shere_Khan]

In the mail yesterday I got something from Elle magazine saying they hope I am enjoying the complimentary subscription and if I want to add another year it is only $5.

I am curious as to where I got the comp subscription from. I took the letter as that I don't owe anything. I better not!

 

[New2WDW]

The Ebb and Flow of survey taking! I have been flooded with cash survey offers lately and have qualified for quite a few. One I am half way complete from ACO will bring $25, a couple from Survey Spot will bring $5 each, and many points on Lightspeed and My Survey. I have also started GreenField Online and they send many surveys each day, most are $1 to $5 each. I just have not had a lot of time this week to take advantage of all these offers so I have been picking and choosing what I can.
