Personal Review:

I have been a member of FGI for a while now and although they don't send surveys as much as other survey panels, you can be assured that they do pay. I mostly get $1 surveys that take about 5-10 minutes to complete and are very easy for the most part. I have never found their surveys to be unfair for the compensation and they pay you as soon as the survey is closed via PayPal, which is always nice.

Personal Review:

I have receive a lot of 10 point surveys that take about 5 minutes to complete, I have also gotten products to test from them, most of them being pet related. Product test's and the follow-up surveys for product tests are much higher than the other surveys you will get. Sometimes you will also be asked to participate in studies that require 2 or more days to record certain things in your daily life, these usually give you 800 - 1200 points each.

Personal Review:

MyView is by invitation only, and the link given here is the invitation link. I have been paid by them more than a few times, I would be paid directly to my PayPal account after the survey closed which would take about 6-8 weeks. At that time the $25 MyView dollars minimum wasn't implemented. MyView sends quite a few surveys, the surveys are relatively easy to complete for the reward offered.

Update as of 10-12-08: I would recommend completing all the profile surveys otherwise you may not get very many paying surveys, if any at all. Each profile survey ranges from 5 - 15 minutes long depending on the topic. If you would like to get their invitation via email I would check the box located near the bottom of each survey indicating that you would like email invitations to surveys.

Personal Review:

Updated 11/09/08 - Opinion OutpostSurveys range from 10-100 points per survey, sometimes they will send you a lot of surveys one month and maybe one or two the next. I have seen an increase in the amount of survey invitations sent to my email, it seems like I always have 6 surveys waiting for me when I log in. I have received one product test so far and was compensated with $4 for my time and it was delicious! The $5 minimum to request payment is fairly easy to reach, this also depends on your demographics as with any other survey site. Although I have not requested payment they do pay their members and since I did received a product test from them I am going to deem them verified since a scam site would not waste their time.

Personal Review:

I lowered the rating on this survey panel because their surveys are hard to qualify for for a wide range of people, not just myself. If you have ever done an OTX survey you know that most of those surveys take you through at least 20 screening questions before telling you that you don't qualify. Survey Exchange is owned by OTX and therefore hosts OTX surveys. A lot of the time you will find yourself spending 10 minutes on a survey and then they will tell you that you have been disqualified.
