Thanks for compiling this list! I especially like MySurvey b/c I often get to try new products for them. My 2 Cents is also good! (However, my husband is a banker, which disqualifies me from many surveys on lots of sites.)
Just a word of caution: I’ve had trouble with Lightspeed in the past…I had almost accumulated enough points to get a check (I’d already gotten several from them at the time) and they denied my access to my account. I hadn’t done anything wrong, and they would not reinstate my points; they simply said it was an error and there was nothing they could do about it. Really frustrating for all of that work! My brother had a similar experience with them.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully, I won’t have any problems with Lightspeed, since I don’t have too many points left to get another payout.
Thanks for the comment on Mama’s Money Savers. I do belong to all the above, I actually forgot about them! Thanks for the reminder. And if you ever find a new great site please let me know and I will gladly sign up under your name so you get the referral credit.
thanks for sharing – opinion outpost used to be good for me but not lately
Thanks for the list. Can you estimate how much time you’re spending so you can see an hourly rate?
I have been taking surveys online for a few years now. I'm members of most of these, but there are some new ones for me to check out too! I love this list & your site. I am SOOO GLAD I stumbled upon it. I've told all my friends. What a great idea you had!! THANKS!!
For those of you with more than one email account, here's another tip. Sign up under all your different addresses. Some won't let you, but alot will. I have two accounts with Lightspeed & My Survey.
New Site *>> eliteopinion.com <<* (copied from home page): business surveys about a variety of issues facing the business community today. Earn points that can be redeemed for cash. I'm a SAHM so didn't join, but thought I'd pass it along… Hope it helps someone!
KimmyKatz – thanks for the comment!
CheerCoach – you should be careful about signing up for multiple e-mail address, since many of the survey sites state one account per household (they don’t even want you and your spouse/kids to have an account. If they find out about multiple accounts, they may close you account and you may lose any money you haven’t had paid out.
Cindy – thanks for the tip.
