MySurvey Reward - Payment

I officially received my reward from MySurvey and I couldn't be happier!

I initially was going to redeem my points at Opinion Square for the OXO 10 Piece POP Container Set but I was a couple hundred points short and I had no more surveys available - ugh. I was so close! I went on as usual with my survey taking and ended up doing one at MySurvey. I realized how many points I had collected there and began to browse the rewards center. Success! They had the same set available! I researched what would be cheaper, an Amazon e-certificate to buy the set or getting the set through MySurvey - I ended up getting it through MySurvey. The conversion from points to money would have only given me $75 to work with at Amazon and the price for the OXO 10 Piece POP Container Set is just under $100. I probably saved $20 or more doing it this way.

What kind of rewards have you received from MySurvey?

American Consumer Opinion Panel - My Eighth Payment!

I received another payment from American Consumer Opinion Panel this past week. When taking their surveys you are fairly compensated either by points, cash, gifts and even product tests (my favorite!). Although their way of recording incentives is now by points instead of by dollars. Don't worry, points convert equally to cash amounts, 100 points is equal to $1 and when you get 1,000 points ($10) you can cash out via check.

One thing I really like about American Consumer Opinion Panel is that they are international. I have had so many people outside the US and Canada tell me they have such a hard time finding international survey sites. I immediately recommend American Consumer Opinion Panel, not only because they are international but becuase there are so many great aspects of the company. They are BBB certified with an A+ grade - yes an A+, that's amazing! Compensation for surveys/studies/product tests are fair, along with points conversion being great. I have noticed when some survey sites convert to a points system the amount per point decreases compared to the time it takes to participate in a survey. Another thing that makes then a good survey panel is that their members are happy.

Overall I think American Consumer Opinion Panel is one of the top 10 survey panels out there. If you want to see more payment proofs or want to browse through the posts about them head over here!

$20 Gift Card From Valued Opinions

Last Friday the reward I requested from Valued Opinions arrived in my mailbox, since they only offer gift cards I selected a Visa Gift Card in the amount of $20. I was kinda surprised when I seen the letter from Valued Opinions laying in my mailbox, it seemed like only a couple weeks had pasted.

Have you gotten any rewards from Valued Opinions? How do you like them as a survey panel?

Opinion Place & Surveys.com Payments

I received a couple payments late last month from Surveys.com and Opinion Place that I haven't gotten around to posting. The Surveys.com payment is for $5.00 and the Opinion Place payment is in the amount of $1.00. So far my overall total for Surveys.com is $13.00 and Opinion Place is $17.50. I haven't been as active on Opinion Place as I could be, but sometimes you get busy with other things and can't take every survey that comes your way.

Surveyhead Payment

I have been a member of SurveyHead for some time now. A week or so ago I reached the minimum amount in order to request payment, I had been waiting on a few surveys to credit that were pending. I requested $10.00 on 09/26/09 and received it on 10/02/09, I am kinda surprised I was paid within a week. If you were skeptical of whether or not Surveyhead pays or not, you can be rest assured that they do and in a decent amount of time.

Netverdix Payment

Netverdix is not as well known as other survey sites such as Greenfield, but they do send surveys that pay. Most of their surveys are worth $2 and are 10-15 minutes in length. So far I have been paid twice by Netverdix for completing their surveys. Below is my payment proof:

Two More BuzzBack Payments!

Two more payments from BuzzBack, one is for $2 and the other is for $20. The $20 payment was for doing a product test for them, the $2 one was just for a simple survey. Have you received any payments from BuzzBack lately? What are your thoughts about BuzzBack?

Pinecone Research Payments

Got another $3.00 straight to my PayPal account this morning for a survey I did yesterday from Pinecone Research. One of the reasons I love Pinecone, of course there are also the product tests and amount of surveys they send.I received another payment proof from them in July as well. If you haven't joined yet or are looking to join, scroll down to the bottom and click on the banner to sign up. If the link does not work please let me know and I will try to find another one. Good Luck!

BuzzBack Payment Proofs

Here are a couple payment proofs from BuzzBack. I ment to post them last month but have been busy, my apologies about that. But payment proof is payment proof. If you didn't already know, BuzzBack is now paying by PayPal instead of check.

BuzzBack Pays Via PayPal Now!

In early May I completed a survey from BuzzBack regarding the use of PayPal as a payment option. Around the middle of the month I received an email thanking me for completing the survey and that they enjoyed looking over the responses all the respondents gave. Ultimately they decided that they will be switching over to PayPal instead of checks. They believe it is a better option than check since payments will be safer for the environment, more secure, and less time consuming.

I honestly think this change is for the better, in the past it took about 4-6 weeks to receive my check for one survey. The day after I completed a survey from BuzzzBack I received payment via PayPal , when I saw the email stating that I had received a payment from BuzzBack I was excited. Below you can view my first PayPal payment from BuzzBack:



I know a lot of survey takers will agree that this payment method will be faster and more convenient, not only for the panelists but for BuzzBack as well. If you are a member of BuzzBack, what do you think of this new payment method? Do you like it or would you rather get a check in the mail? And for those of you who aren't members, does this change make you more likely to join BuzzBack or less likely?

SurveySpot Payment

SurveySpot sent me another payment, this will be my third check from them. My last check I received from SurveySpot was for a whopping $251.50, but this one is only for $13.00. I haven't been completing their surveys as often as I was 6 months ago, my days have become more busy and my inbox is always filled with survey invitations from various companies .... sometimes its honestly hard to keep up with! Anyway below is my third check.

HCD Surveys Payment

Another check I received while I was gone, this one being from HCD Surveys:

Socratic Forum Payment

First I would like to apologize for not posting anything for the past couple weeks. I was out of town visiting family and didn't plan on staying as long as I did, but things came up and I had to stay little longer than expected. After returning, Pella was holding the Tulip Time Festival honoring their Dutch heritage. I spent some time going downtown with friends and trying all the different types of dutch food they had at all the food stands, went on a tour through the history of the town and then finally the parade. I was defiantly busy this past week, but it was fun. I hope all the mothers out there had a great time on Mothers Day!

Anyway, during the time I was gone I received a check(view here) in the mail from Socratic Forum in the amount of $15.00. I requested it on 2/23 and received it around 4/8, so it took about 4 weeks. I probably took about 4 or 5 surveys to acquire that amount, their surveys are pretty fair when it comes to compensation. I have been invited to exclusive panels through Socratic Forum's surveys which is nice. They send a survey or so every month, most of the surveys I am invited to are between $2 & $5.

Two Payments From FGI Research

In checking my PayPal account today I found that FGI Research had sent me two payments for surveys that I had completed. The payments were for $1.00 and $0.50, the surveys are usually 5-10 minutes long so I didn't spent very much time to earn $1.50 that day. FGI Research sends 1-2 surveys a month, compensation is regularly around $0.50-$2.00 per survey. They aren't the greatest survey site but at least they pay and the compensation per survey is fair. Click here and here to view these payment proofs, they will open in a new window.

Datatelligence Payment

I completed a survey from Datatelligence about a week ago. They promised a $10 Amazon gift card if I qualified and completed the entire survey, in which case I did. If you would like to see the payment proof please click here. I don't really use Amazon that much so I wasn't ecstatic when I saw the survey invite in my inbox, I'd rather get cash or money via PayPal. I'm sure some of you love Amazon and getting gift cards from survey sites to redeem on merchandise .... I just really don't know what to buy when I do get these gift card codes, lol. I can spend probably 2 hours on Amazon looking at tons of things, and still not find something I want to buy.

Datatelligence sends paid surveys every now and then, most of them are for sweepstakes or points that you can redeem for rewards from their site. Like Lightspeed, they are partnered with Perks for distributing members rewards. Unfortunately they do not have PayPal as a reward option. Joining the "sub-panels" within your members area will increase the surveys they send you. I joined two more sub-panels when I logged in today, one was for alcohol and the other was for media. When you join a sub-panel you will have to complete a very brief survey, they take about 1-5 minutes each.

Opinion Outpost Payment & Bulletin

I requested a $20.00 payment from Opinion Outpost a about a month ago, this will be my first payment from them. I received the check in the mail last week, please click here if you would like to see my payment proof.

Opinion Outpost has improved on the amount of surveys they send out compared to a year ago, at least I personally saw an increase. They also improved the look of their website, as well as making it easier to navigate. You may have also noticed they implemented a "Thank You Rewards" system, they give you a choice of an instant game, donation or sweepstakes when you don't qualify for a survey.

Opinion Outpost sent out a bulletinbulletin in late February. In the Winter 2009 bulletin they answer questions about how to receive more surveys that they you will qualify for and how their rewards system works when you don't qualify for a survey. Late checks are also addressed - If you have been waiting a while for your check please read this post.

American Consumer Opinion Panel Payment

American Consumer Opinion Panel sent me another payment via check in the amount of $12.00. To view my 6th payment please click here. I have been a member for sometime now and enjoy taking their surveys for the most part. For most of the surveys they conduct, they first send out a pre-screener to see if you have a good chance of qualifying. I have received a couple product tests from American Consumer Opinion Panel in the past, I was fairly compensated for my participation and also was allowed to keep the product - which is always a plus. The survey panel is international, and open to everyone 14 years or older.

Your2Cents Payment - Finally!

I finally got my check from Your2Cents - it took a little over 2 months! This defiantly isn't a timely manner. I checked their FAQ's and Privacy Policy I found nothing about the processing time of payments. I then click on "Survey Support" at the bottom of the page and then chose "When will I receive my incentive reward?" it stated: "You should receive your incentive reward 6-8 weeks after you complete the survey. If you have not received your incentive reward and it has been more than 8 weeks, please fill out a support ticket." Obviously this survey support is pretty outdated since they don't sent payment after you complete each survey, you request a check for $10 or more and then they send you payment.


Although their payments are late I personally enjoy their surveys and am usually rewarded fairly for them. Even with their new point system I am still compensated well for my opinion, not sure why they switched over to the point system in the first place. I wrote a message to Your2Cents support department today expressing my concern about the amount of time it took to process my payment. Hopefully they get back to me within the 24-48 hours like stated.

Update 3/2/09

I received a reply from Your2Cents about the time it took to process my payment. Here is what they stated:

"We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Our incentives department was not processing checks the whole month of December; processing began again on January 5/09 and from this date it will be 6-8 weeks to receive your incentive reward. Once again we would like to apologize for the delay in you incentive reward."

They should have sent out an email or posted an update when you login about this. It would have been nice to know that I would have to wait more than 2 months to get my payment, at least I would have felt informed.

Pinecone Research Payments

I forgot to post a payment I received from Pinecone Research on the 11th of this month. I just got another payment from them today as well for a survey I completed last night. I am currently testing a product for them as well so after I complete the follow up survey I should receive another $3 via PayPal. Currently I am just waiting on them to email me the link.
Here are the payment proofs below:

Viewpoint Forum Payment

I received another payment from Viewpoint Forum, like always it was within 10-14 business days! This time I cashed out my points in the amount of $12.53, I have added this amount in the "Survey Site Earnings" section on the right sidebar. Viewpoint Forum is one of my personal favorites just for the fact that you are fairly compensated for taking their surveys and payment is always on time. Their surveys are enjoyable and are not repetitive like other sites. Below is my payment proof:


Unlike other survey sites Viewpoint Forum does not allow you to join via their website, you have to ask a member of Viewpoint Forum for an invitation to join the panel. You may be able to find members through online forums, you can Google "Viewpoint Forum Invite" or you can send me a message via email for an invitation. Another good source is Lacie's Blog, she also sends Viewpoint invites upon request.
