I do alot of surveys,but never really look at how many points or pounds that i have got from doing alot of them.So today i thought that i would just see what rewards these survey companys offer,aswell as see if i have got enough points or pounds to claim my reward,well i am happy as soo far i have got £10 boots vouchers,£20 worth of Argos vouchers,£10 Amazon,£10 Tescos vouchers and that is off only a few of the survey companys,just got to wait for them all to arrive.Then the other bonus to doing surveys are getting all the products that you would normally use to try and get paid for trying them out,so far this week 5 trials todo.

I agree that we must strive to save as much as we can, even if it is a small amount but still be able to have it in the event of unexpected situations. I too do many surveys and love them, I especially like the trials as I have not had to buy garbage bags, paper towels and frozen foods in a very long time as I get selected quite a bit and am lucky to get them. I am currently doing 4 this week and I love them all as well.

I have done several survey sites and yes, you can rack up the points to purchase things. I try to save as much as possible on my Amazon credits and use them all around the holidays. I haven't seen any survey sites that have trials, or anything like that...can you pm me with a link to any of them please.

I think we can save money by budgeting and cutting down the extra expenses that we make in our lives.

Good going. Most of my survey accounts are sitting at that, oh so annoying, 5 or 10 points off being able to submit for vouchers! I'll just have to be patient, and hope that they are in time for Christmas.

There are loads of good quick surveys that we can all do and some are longer than others,some are boring,but it also help pass the time away as well.I have saved soo much money by being on the pc as it is also helping me cut down on smoking as well as a great way to break the day up.

There are also fake survey sites. I think it is good to get some real survey sites that really pays.

Some of the survey sites i had not even thought that i would have gained enough points for to get a reward,so when i looked it was a really nice bonus.I think the sites that i am are great as they have all prooved that they do payout,so far soo good no scam sites aswell as they are easy to reach a payout.

I've never been very successful with surveys. I get so far and then they tell me I'm not qualified. I think I've make about three dollars. I'm glad you're doing well with them, but as far as I'm concerned, they're a waste of my time.

I have tried surveys before and was not successful. The problem is that there are lots of scams in the internet.

The ones that i am on also give you points if you do not qualify,also they are the kind of sites that will send you lots of surveys and you are never made felt like you have to do them if you do not want to.Some surveys are really really short and they do pay very very well.

I think the more we save money the more we are earning money. I think we should try to save money as far as possible in our lives so that we can use them when we need them.

I found that there are always a bit of money left over to put towards more vouchers,shame they do not round it up to the nearest pound as that way i would have been able to get more vouchers sent.On some survey sites there are not many things that i want,i would rather have paypal,my daughters shop in town so they can have the hmv vouchers that i have got turning up.

I think that there are alot of really good sites out there that are really interesting,as they have loads of different things on them that can be done,some of them even have games on them as well,which is also great,but some of the games you can get hooked on as well,lol.This site is great as there are always things that you can chat about,so having fun is also a great thing.

I think it is always great to save money as well as earn money. Most people will earn money, but they spend more than that they earn. There is a famous proverb that says money saved is money earned. If we save money it is like the money we earn.

I look at things like,if you want money then you have to earn it,once earnt then after paying all those horrid bills that we all get,you know the rest is there to save.Alot of people say that they want money,or they are skint,but that is due to them not wanting to do anything to earn it and waste all that they do get on things that they do not need or do not want.

I think if we work really hard we can earn money, but if we do not work for the money we will not be able to earn money.

I sometimes does not like to spend money on treating others and on parties. Some people spends lots of money on parties and giving treats and most times finds short of money when they earned. I have seen some people working hard and earning money and spending all their savings in just one or two treats.

I do quite a few surveys and I love when I get those checks in the mail or vouchers I usually keep them to give as presents so I save a bit of money there...I don't get many offers to try things only a few here and there I live in Australia so maybe here we do not have to many of those.

I happened to join a few sites and to begin with they did not send any trial things,but after a while they were sending loads of things for me to try and they were all the things that i would normally buy,so that also saved a bit of money.

That's really a good idea, you save and you earn, only that most paid surveys are only open to U.S. residents that's why I can't join.

I am in the UK and there are a few sites that are good that i can not do either,which is really a shame.

Congrats on your earning from those survey sites. I always like the idea of completing surveys and being rewarded for doing so. When you qualify for one, it's pretty neat. When you don't, you get the feeling of a let down, and missed opportunity.

I think that there are lots of interesting sites that do surveys as well as they offer great products to try as well,all at the end of the day that also helps me save a few pounds when it comes to shopping.It is very rare that i do not qualify for a survey,so i do not mind once in a while that i do not meet the type of person that they are looking for.

I do a lot of surveys, but I only do ones that pay cash. I was not sure how to cash in on the others and really didn't want to waste a lot of time and not be paid. It is nice to know you really to make money doing surveys.

It is great,as alot of the surveys that i do now are all the trials ones that do not take very long to do,aswell as the bonus you get try try things that you would normally buy when you go shopping any way.I think that it is great the company pays you before you try the things that they sena,aswell as after you have tried them aswell.

I do those kind of online surveys as well. But I only keep track with 2 or 3 websites, so my earning doesn't increase very fast, probably one voucher after a year.

I think that no matter what every little help and the best bit is when you see that you have something to show for the time that you have spent doing something.I love to get all those items that they send you to try as it is great as that also saves alot of money as well.

I started doing surveys about 4 years ago. In the first year, I made almost $800. I keep track of my earnings. None have been as good as the first year, but it still adds up to a few hundred dollars a year. It's good enough that I still do the ones that pay...

That is an excellent payout I must say. I was thinking 250 was a lot, but that is just one of the sites I work with. I am gonna add you to see if maybe I am missing something here, lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, too bad I never saved the money I have made, I would be one rich mama!

Dear Jj i had joined some survey sites, but they never paid me.. About saving and extra money i can say that regular saving while one is earning is essential for bad days, it may come any time, in any form.. while in service as professor i had a decent income i saved wisely, i am happy with that, i built my homes.. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Professor. .

I think that there re alot of people out there that never save no matter how much money they have,as they always blow the money that they get on the things that they do not need.I feel that if i save a small amount and then something go wrong then i will not have to worry as much.

Hope that these are still going Good for you. Very seldom do I spend time trying to do anything with a lot of the Survey companies as most of them seem to take forever to try and complete, and then a lot of them never want to pay out anything for me. I might be missing the boat somewhere as I have heard of people making $$ here, but for me this is not interesting.

I have made from one site along over 250$ in checks doing surveys! That may seem low but that is free money! Just giving my opinion I made that money. I love giving my thoughts if I am going to be rewarded for it. Now I had a survey company call my phone the other day and they wanted me to talk to them about health care but they were giving no reward. Well forget that, why do I want to share my personal thoughts with a company that does not want to reward me with anything? That seems unfair, even if they offered to send my one dollar I would have done it. But for free? No way not here dear. I need some cash flow and I know survey companies make boo coo bucks too!

I agree with you, my friend. Because as we make money, need to wisely save something so that there is something we used in times of needy...

Wow, that is an awesome amount of things that you've been able to earn for the surveys that you've been doing. For me, I have earned quite a bit of money off of Amazon gift cards from a game website that I spend a lot of time playing. I use the gift cards that I earn from Amazon to buy Christmas and birthday gifts for the members of my family. In the past two years I have been able to do the vast majority of my shopping online and it really hasn't cost me anything because I'm earning the cards for free.

I do a few surveys too! But to make it easy for me to see their worth, I only claim cash. And I've opened up an account where all these go to. This would be easier to see at the end of the year. If it is still worth continuing or not.

I didn't joined any survey sites and I feel doubtful about it. I'm not sure that it will truly pay its members or have some demographical basis to its members. I wish someday joining this kind of online earning through doing surveys. I hope you will help someday how to get this kind of opportunity. Happy My Lot!

There are alot of great survey sites,also there are a few that are rubbish as their surveys are soo long and boring.I love being on this site as well as it passes the time away as well as it is a great way to get a few bits of interesting information.
