well, im not sure that surveys is really pay you, but I heard my friends said it is a scam. hummm... I know some good site that you could try. www.clixsense.com (free memebership but if you upgrade it then it will help you a lot) another site that I have is not reopen yet so I have to wait to get you in... that site work more better than any other sites that I know.

You must be talking about SurveySpot. Most of their surveys are only for sweepstakes entries, although you can find some that pay actual cash. Global Test Market is my favorite survey company to make real money. I've made $300 total from them. Other companies that offer real cash are: Pinecone Research, Opinion Outpost, and Viewpoint Forum.

On surveyspot there are a lot of surveys that you can do for a chance in a sweepstakes, and then there are surveys where you are paid between $1-$15 surveys (you are usually notified by email about surveys that fit your demographics and some of them are worth money). If you get a survey invitation and it says that the survey will take 30 minutes and you spend 20 minutes and it says you don't qualify, you can make a complaint at http://www.surveypolice.com. You do have to register for a free account there in order to file a complaint, but its not hurting anything so might as well. As for AW Surveys, I myself beleive they are a scam because I was a member and found out I got my account cancelled. I have no idea why they would cancel my account, I had $32 in there. When they "updated" the site, as they call it, I wasn't able to log in and my email address was not found in their data base. I have tried to contact the Admin there and I also went to their main site, when I emailed them i got a failure notice to each and every email address I tried (which is 5). This hasn't only happened to me, there are many dicussions about peoples accounts getting canceled and not only on mylot. If you choose to join its at your own discretion, just be aware that you may get paid and you may not. The people who have been paid are lucky. If you notice also there is no Privacy Policy posted on the site which is a good indicator that it is a scam. I have a list of survey sites, some of them are interantional. If you are interested please visit my website: http://www.freewebs.com/sweettrix/surveysites.htm I hope you find a couple survey sites that work for you.

Definitely. Some pay only in points, some in cash, some in sweepstakes, some in a combination. I belong to a few. I have the payments posted on my website (see profile). This way I can prove to people they can do it, too.
