Here is the list of Online Surveys sites that I frequent:
- Pinecone Research (There is currently no link to sign-up)
This site is by invitation only, but they give $5 for every product survey taken. They do send some surveys that you do not get paid for, but these only take a few minutes to complete. The product surveys take around 20 minutes to complete. They also ask at the end if you would like to try the product out. I got a free 6 pack of Lipton Tea from them (I took the first survey, got the tea, then took the follow-up survey - got $10 and free tea). I usually get one survey every 2 weeks, but I had some people at work sign up and they do not receive any.
- MySurvey
This is the online version of National Family Opinion. You get points for taking surveys, 1000 points equals $10. Most of the initial surveys are 10 points, and then if you qualify, you get around 200 more points. I have already gotten $30 from this site, but I’ve only taken around 8 or so surveys. The site is open to everyone, and it is very easy to use.
- American Consumer Opinion
This site sends you e-mails when there is a new survey to take. They offer between $4 - $9 for each survey taken, but you must qualify by answering a few questions first. This site does take a long time to send you your check, but it is worth the wait. I won a sweepstakes for $10 for here, and I have received about $30 from them in 6 months (4 surveys). They don’t have surveys very often, but when they do, they pay pretty well.
- LightSpeed Panel
I signed up for this site a while back and used it until I got $15 in Amazon gift certificates. It works like MySurvey where you get points for taking surveys. You have to qualify for the surveys by taking screening questions, but you do not get points for these surveys unless you qualify. Surveys give you between 75 - 400 points based on how long they take. 1100 points got me a $10 gift certificate to Amazon. I just started going back to this site because they have quite a few surveys to take, and they send you free products to try.
A good link for surveys - Internet Paid Surveys
I would stay away from Greenfield Online. They give you a ton of surveys, but I took 100 surveys and got paid for 1 (I never received my $2 check).
