Online surveys for cash

[mollymar]

So, I'm trying to earn a little extra spending money for our trip and signed up for some online surveys. Specifically swagbucks and opinion outpost. Well, every survey lets me get thru about 10-20 pages and then says I do not qualify or the quota has been met. I think they are getting the info they need and then kicking me off so they don't have to pay.

Are there any sites out there that will actually pay for your time?

I do e-poll, which has given me target and amazon gift cards.

I also do Sunshine Rewards which gives me Disney cards. I haven't been doing it long and I've already gotten a $25 and have $32 going towards a $50 gc right now.

Can you tell me how swagbucks work?

i do sunshine rewards, and have earned well over $1500.00 since march 2008. i've got a sizeable balance right now, which i'm saving to cash out for disney gift cards, hopefully for a trip next year.

I use quickrewards.net for my surveys. Because they pay out. After certain length time they will credit if the survey last over 20 minutes and get kick out.

There are some great ones if you are a licensed healthcare provider (ie. RN, NP, PA, MD, DO) from leadmedicalpanel, medsurveys, and so forth.

I get my honorarium in Amazon gc and just add them to my account. I use them for gift shopping, or even to buy myself something big (next up a Macbook!)

I'll echo other posters and say try Sunshine Rewards!

I think I'm going to try Sunshine Rewards and give up on Opinion Outpost.

I just signed up for swagbucks and have been playing around the site. I haven't really decided if it is worth it or not. I don't like that they send you to another site for the surveys and you have to sign up for things. They will give you swagbucks for coupons though so I like that idea.

Anyone else do swagbucks?

I've had excellent luck with SurveySavvy. As long as you fill out all the profile questionaires, you get quite a few surveys every week. I can usually count on them for $10-30 a week.

Pinecone Research is good too, but invitation only. You basically have to look for their banner ad on the web when they are recruiting.

I love swagbucks. I daily poll, games, videos, swagtv, noso and that how earn all my swagbucks. I do search and use codes.

Most of the "survey" sites mentioned use the same survey companies. They will also boot you out with no credit after spending significant time answering questions to qualify. Mypoints.com will credit you with a token number of points for at least attempting to answer a survey. QR. and SR do not.

Sunshine Rewards is the best. I make around $60-90/month on surveys and shopping.

I would like to know more of the nursing/medical survey sites. Can you PM me or post them here?

I aggre about the surveys at mypoints. I spend at least 15 minutes answering all the questions and then get told that I don't qualify. It really makes me so mad. I have gotten to the point where I put info in (like a lower income) so I won't quaslify right off the bat. At least 10 points for a few minutes is better than nothing for 30 min.

I'm going to have to check into Sunshine Rewards - sounds like a good one!

I've been participating in Surveyhead. They average about $1-$2 per survey, and they will tell you after a few questions if you qualify or not. The surveys are anywhere from 10-45 minutes and there are several options to be paid, including cash. I've been with them for about a year, and I've earned about $100. Not a lot, but I don't have children, and that often disqualifies me from surveys.

About twice a year (for my WDW trips) I cash out all my survey sites and it amounts to about $500 each time. The ones that I have made the most money with are clearvoicesurveys, globaltestmarket, inbox dollars, mindfield, opinionoutpost, sendearnings, *************** and valued opinions. Good luck - i figure that every little bit helps.................

 

[amylynne01]

My favorites are Opinion Outpost, Valued Opinions, and MySurvey. All pay out and have quick turnarounds. I like Reward Port, but you get kicked out a lot, and the payouts take the full 4-6 weeks. I hated Mindfield - took me months to earn $5 (which realistically is like 3-4 surveys), so I gave up.

This is my experience too. Sunshine Rewards, Inbox Dollars, MyPoints, Swagbucks and many of the other sites mentioned in this thread use the same survey companies. So, you'll have the same experience.

Epoll and Pinecone Research are different. The surveys I do on epoll always credit. But, they can be long and they are mostly on tv viewing habits. And I don't get many surveys from them at all. Maybe 1 every 2 months for 500 pts.

Pinecone Research will send you pre surveys. They ask about 10-15 questions to see if you qualify for the real survey. Once you pass the pre survey and take the real survey, you always get credit. And a lot of times you will be asked to test a product out, with additional surveys. I average between $10-15 a month on pinecone.

I belong to a lot of survey sites and have been very successful. The key is to answer the questions consistently, honestly and to take your time. Some of these survey companies time you. So, if you answer too quickly, they'll disqualify you. Good luck and I hope that helps!

The pay for these is GREAT!

medsurveys dot com, the survey emails come from The Ricca Group. They send you a check for your participation, the minimum I've received is around $125 for a survey that took me 20 minutes. The best was 1500 was a series of four surveys, each taking about 45 minutes and trying out a new product at home.

Also leadmedicalpanel dot com. You can get paid via check, Amazon, there were a few others. When Pharmaceutical companies or medical product companies are developing a new product, they use them to get feedback and the name of the item, the uses of the products, etc.

quantiamd dot com requires verification of your license. You watch case presentations online posted by other health care professionals. You answer questions and earn reward points that you can cash in for Amazon gift certs. I get a few hundred bucks a month through Quantia.

Also epgsurvey dot com, medicaladvisoryboard, nursesurveys. Just add dot com after.


HTH! Most surveys are specialty targeted. It seems like I'll get a whole bunch at a time, then a dry spell, then a bunch more. Just answer them as soon as they show up in your email.

I've also done a few focus group sessions and telephone surveys for some of these. I'm a registered nurse, in NP school currently, so I know all of these will take RNs, not sure about other health professions. A physical therapist friend of mine gets quite a few through some of them as well.
