Paid Surveys

October 01, 2007 12:09PM
Would somebody please explain to me how anyone is making money from surveys when:

[1] After a promise of a "$500" gift certificate from so and so, and about 1cent payment for answering/clicking "yes" or "no" to a zillion questions and at the end, you are prompted to sign up or your credit card is required so that you can be charged for whatever,and if you don't pay,then you don't qualify for the "$500" certif,,,,,,,,How do you make money?

Also, Would you please give names of real focus groups companies that pay better.

Thank you you your time.
Rebecca

I haven't found any surveys that pay as yet myself. I am doing mystery shopping companies that actually pay. One is consumerfeedbackgroup.com and sassieproreviw. sassie has a lot of different shops under them. I gave up on paid surveys besides they take to long and I don't want a chance at winning I really need the money. Hope this helps.

I agree with you 100% Rebecca. I have registered at quite a few survey sites. Most of the time, the offer is being entered into a sweepstakes. The other part is as you said a Promise of a $500 gift certificate, but you must sign up with a credit card; if not you don't quality for the money. I have become very discouraged with surveys. If their is any for real that actually pay would someone let us know? I have turned my interest to Mystery Shopping.

I have to put my two cents worth in here. The problem I have with the survey copanies is that they want you to spend money so you can get a little. They want you to participate in two bronze offers, two silver offers and four gold offers to get their promised payment. Does anyone out there know of any legitimate companies that will pay you to take surveys without you spending money to get their little bit of payment?

What I do with surveys? spam and trash!!!
They are a scam, wasting time,and never pay a cent for you inputs.
I joined several,and every one want that you shop for a credit card and buy something from the web site, after I have received too many I spam and trash.
Done.

While I agree with most of your concerns, if you can manage to find the signup banner for a survey/research company called PineCone Research, they ACTUALLY pay.

Example: I did a survey for them Monday night and got the $5 payment from them credited to my PayPal account on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, they do not tend to send more than a survey or two per month, so no way are you going to get "rich" doing them, and they only take new members as needed. But, their surveys only take, generally, 10-15 minutes to complete and you can make $5 without even leaving the house...I've been PAID $20, so far, in the last couple of months.

I would like to find more like them instead of the "other" kind of companies!

Just saw the PineCone signup banner on the volition.com forums page, if you're interested in trying to find it.

Hi,
My sister swears by my points, she gets 50.00 walmart gift cards all the time i guess she can redeem when and how she wants it.
She says just do everything through there website even ebay and ya get points when buying on ebay.
I have one called i think global research it looks like i can redeem anytime and 10 points is 10 dollars and usually the survey is 10 points and they have a lot.
So hope that helps.
