Most of them are a bust I've found. The best I've gotten is a free magazine subscription since they don't give actual cash, just points that you can trade for something on their list, most of which is unappealing to me. The one I did like however was Synovate because they will send free samples, have you try the product and then fill out an online survey. The samples are typically not labeled so you don't know what brand you are sampling. Kinda fun seeing the product come out later on the market and realize, hey, that's what we were trying!

I do several online surveys and other things. Couponingtodisney.com has a really good list of the ones that are worth doing. I personally like opinion outpost- you can request a check after earning $5. I usually cash out $20 every 2 months. I have gotten one from them that i got $60 for. I've also gotten a lot of free stuff. I also like mypoints.com. All you do is click on emails and the points add up. I've been doing that one for about a year and have cashed out $70 in target girft cards. Pinecone is an invitation only survey site. You get $3 per survey plus free trial items sometimes. Those are my 3 favorite. Try them out. You can't get rich or earn a living doing surveys. I usually take all money and put it towards something. Last year i took it all and saved up $400 in 6 months from my surveys for a vacation. HTH

I won a thousand dollars from an offshoot of i-say.com which is run by ipsos out of canada. they are legit. in the year that i did surveys i made 99 dollars in cash, and 140 in cards to walmart, amazon, target. and of course the 1000. i was able to pay for my sons school clothes, etc. which was really nice! the sites i made $ off of , besides i-say.com were mysurvey.com opinionoutpost.com quickrewards.net dailysurveypanel.com and sendearnings.com now let me add that i would spend anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours on the computer every morning doing surveys. oh, I forgot, I also made 150 dollars doing telephone panels. if you manage to get to do in person panels you can make much much more. i found this blog site (dont know if she's still doing it) www.realwomenrealmoneyworkfromhome.blogspot.com thats where i found all of the sites i used. she doesnt list anything that she hasnt received from. I also got a ton of full sized samples to test and give feedback on. I also got so burned out on it that I only did it for one year. just the thought of surveys makes me cringe now, but i did like the money! good luck!

This site isn't just surveys, but I LOVE Swag Bucks. You can earn swag bucks by filling out surveys, but also by searching & other things (like watching their Swag Bucks TV) for free. Then spend the swag bucks to get rewards. The best reward is a $5 Amazon gift card. I've earned 12 so far!

I have belonged to several survey sites for years, Ipsos and SurveyHead are two of my favorites. I would like to do Pinecone but it is by invitation only. There is a website that ranks survey sites - http://www.surveypolice.com/rankings
I find the payouts to be nice, I let them build up so the payout is bigger, especially if I get Amazon certificates and then get something great from Amazon. It does take time though, but I just take them in the evening while watching tv after the kids go to bed.

I have done a few and it's a bust. You get points or the opportunity to be put in a "raffle" situation to win something big. Nothing has ever come of it and after awhile the surveys were boring.

I do pinecone research.
I have been doing it for years.
You get paid 3.00 for surveys.
Get your name entered for drawings for each survey that you do that they send you.
You sometimes get to try out new products before they are in stores.

I also do mypoints. I earn my choice of gift cards or other rewards for places I love.

I highly recommend these two companies.

I've not done any of these but they seem to be phishing sites that get your personal information to inundate you with advertising, catalogs, unwanted e-mails, etc. Sure, you get a little carrot of a prize to participate but I often wonder if people really do 'win' the 'big item'? Is it worth it to you to put your personal information out there?

I do them with mypoints.com It is a combination of survey's, clicking on links, and if you buy items online, buying them through mypoints.com I have been doing it for well over a year and it does work! You get gift cards to places that you would regularly go to (you pick where) for the "work" you do. Honestly, it is simple as pie, and you get gift cards in return. If you have any questions, let me know!
