Updated 2/7/13….read the new post here.
I have recently started doing online surveys to earn gift cards and small cash prizes. I really enjoy it and it has been nice to have some “free” money to spend online. Here are some of the sites I really like. Do you have any experience with these? I’d love to hear about it! And if you participate in survey sites that are not listed, I’d love to give yours a try!
Note that not all of these sites are accepting new members…you might have to check back later!
Opinion Outpost: This is my favorite survey site. I earn rewards very quickly there and they pay out within a couple of days.
MySurvey: I like this site because it usually doesn’t have a screen-out halfway through the survey.
MyView: This survey site gives me lots of surveys but I don’t qualify for many of them. The nice thing is that even when I screen out (usually after one or two questions), they give me 125 points just for trying. It adds up quickly that way!
Synovate: This survey site rewards with big points, but I have a hard time opening the links from home. Still, the surveys are pretty easy to complete.
I also love Pinecone Research, but it’s hard to join. There are sometimes banner ads posted on various websites but you never know when or where. If you see one, take advantage of the opportunity! They pay $3 per survey (via paypal) and I get several per month. Ipsos i-say has been good to me too, and I usually do a few others. If you would like for me to send an invite to you, please leave a comment with your email address and I’ll send it if there’s one available!
Swagbucks doesn’t have a high payout per survey, but it adds up quickly. I usually qualify for 2 or 3 surveys right off the bat. The great thing about Swagbucks is that you can get bonus SB just for meeting your daily “goal” which is set by the site. The bonus pays out at the beginning of the new month. It’s always nice to see an extra 400 points or so added to my account with no extra effort. Then, I cash out for a discounted Target gift card.

Signing up for my survey and my view now thank you!! 🙂
I was a member of pinecone years ago….if you can refer me to them I would really appreciate it…..i know I’ve tried to sign up again over the years but always says not accepting new members and I guess after a long period they deactivate your account. Dh_jax@yahoo.com
Hi G, I emailed Pinecone to ask about referral links. Unfortunately, they don’t have a general link for sign-ups. Instead, the only way they are now accepting new panelists is by posting banner ads on various unspecified web sites from time to time throughout the year. So I would recommend just keeping your eyes peeled for an ad. If I see one, I’ll definitely let you know!
