I am a member of a few survey taking companies, and i have found that I like these types of paid to sites rather than ptc or ptsu's. Lately I have been getting a TON of surveys from survey spot, and it's been really exciting to earn so much so easily. Zoompanel has always been really good to me. I swear, last week I had like, 750 points, and I checked today, and I have 1350 or something. I already have enough to redeem, but I think I am going to save up for something nice. Viewpoint forum is going great. I am actually doing an extended study for them, which I think is worth a lot of points for. What survey companies are you a part of? How have they been treating you? I am looking to join another company that pays well for it's surveys, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Following is a list of survey companies that I use, have paid me and I think are worth while. Personally, I can only do so many in a day, as I find that taking too many tends to be draining. Hope this list list helps. Globaltestmarket Epoll Acop Myview Surveyspot Opinionplace HCDSurveys Ipsosisay Valuedopinions Opinionoutpost Lightspeed Globalopinion Zoompanel Your2cents

which of these sites have you actually been paid by? I am a member of a lot of these sites already, but I am not sure which ones I should be investing my time into.

I am a member of global test market. I am at 590 points so far. I trust that they pay, though, because they are better business bureau approved. If you don't mind me asking, how much have you earned from each site? Which is your favorite? And your least favorite?

I have been paid by all of them except Globaltestmarket. With them you have to get to 1000 points. It takes a while, but once you do, it is worth $50. All of the others have paid by check or paypal. I researched each of these sites on the getpaid forum before joining. The forum is a very good resource. You can search the forum by site name.

Its the site for Indians, but i have been to their FAQ'S to see if others can join and what i got is that they have other panels where you can join depending on the country you live, i have copied that particular question for u....see if you have your country there. Yes, this Valued Opinions panel is only available to residents of India and at the moment we are not able to offer this service to people under the age of 16. If you are outside India, there are other panels made for you! If you live in the UK, please join www.valuedopinions.co.uk; if you live in the US, please join www.valuedopinions.com, if you live in Ireland, please join www.irishopinions.com; if you live in Australia, please join www.valuedopinions.com.au; and if you live in New Zealand, please join www.valuedopinions.co.nz;

You can't be posting links like this on my discussions. You are violating the terms of service, and you are going to get my conversation deleted and my earnings reduced. You are NOT supposed to post likes like that on here. If you have a link to send to someone, you need to send a private message. If not, you are considered a spammer.

I would suggest you to redeem your money and keep it with paypal like sites...don't ever keep your earnings with the site as you never know when will it become scam and you will loose all your earnings. I am with globaltestmarket, ciao surveys and corpscan...i have been paid by globaltestmarket and ciao but corpscan i am testing..i am about to reach my payout....lets see what happens....but i think its hard to take survey as it consumes lot of time answering the questions....

Well I have been paid by the sites that I have listed, I am just looking for some more well paying survey sites. There are too many out there that pay poorly, when with the same effort I could be bringing in much more. I am hoping to find at least one more reliable survey site.

What is Ciao like? Do you get a lot of surveys? Do you get paid well? What is the minimum cashout? How do you receive payments. I have heard of ciao a million times, but I have never checked it out. Maybe I will.

i belong to all those as well as some others my survey is a really nice one i have benn a member there for years they sometimes will send you actual sizes of products to try in your home then give you points for trying them and when you have 1000 points accumulated in your account you can redeem them for $10.00 in cash i just got another check from them in the mail yesterday for $10.00 and have almost 400 points left in my account now you are never turned down for a survey from them unlike survey spot where iam almost always turned down although i did a study through them last month for $50.00 and lucked up on another survey for $20.00 so when o gopt my check from them it is for $70.00and that is the most i have gotten from a survey site yet i still have 2 more checks iam waiting on to come in the mail marie brighton from synovate is another good one.iam sitting on $98.00in survey checks right now that i havent cashed yet because iam saving them to help with car repairs so yeah surveys do pay thats not counting what i have in my paypal.

I never used to qualify for surveys at survey spot, but after a while, I started qualifying for almostall of them. just today I qualified for one for 125 dollars. Have you used Viewpointforum? I use that one, too. Its really easy to earn points on, and just yesterday I got a product to test and do surveys on. THey pay really quickly, too. Have you heard of global test market? I use them, they pay pretty well for their surveys, too. I am a member of mysurvey, but I almost never do the surveys, I don't know why. Maybe I will give that site another shot.

The only survey site that I use is Inbox Dollars. Not only are there surveys to do on there but they send you a few emails every so often that pay two cents when you read them. Unfortunately doing the surveys can be frustrating. At least for me. That's because it seems most of the time that whenever I try to get one, I can never find one that I fit the survey's 'criteria' other than every often. But the surveys pay out .50 cents per completion though.

Hello rebelmel, There are issues with some of the survey site, they are not providing enough surveys for the people from the rest of the world. I have only one other survey site that have actually paid me a couple of times, however the number of surveys are coming down already. however it might not be the case for people in UK, so if you are interested let me know.

I would really love to join programs like these but ones I found are usually not available for international users like here in Philippines, most survey offers are only given to US, Canada, UK and Australia... If you happen to know a couple that accepts users from Asia please let me know and I'll gladly join it. Thanks... happy earning too...

I had previously joined some of those "global" survey companies a few years back. However, I could never get a suitable survey from them, as I'm always not qualified. Recently, I had joined a few "local-based" online survey companies. Out of the few, I received more survey invitations from 1 of them. So far, I had qualified for 2 of the surveys, and had reached around 40% to payout. I'm hoping that they could send some more surveys so that I can reach payout faster...

Which sites are you speaking of specifically? I am looking to join another survey site or two, just to increase my monthly earnings a bit.

Thanks, i've been a user of many of the websites listed above. I agree that some are more of a waste of time than anything. I take a lot of surveys but only cashout about once a month for less than $20. I have now added ciao and cash4offers to my list to check them out...we'll see

i dont really have trust in these survey companies, its been more than 1 eyar that i signed up many of them and since them i have never received a survey or even any message from them, the excuse they always give is that my geographical location does not give me the advantage to take surveys and that sucks
@rebelmel (1386)

Where are you located? You are right. They are looking for people in specific areas and with special living habits to take part in these surveys, so some people get far less than others.
