I have to get going on these, have all the links I have just been so busy. Free cash, cant go wrong. The one I use Harris Online Polls is finally offering PayPal payouts. : ) $5.00 for every 800 points you earn which is very quick and easy I get that in a week no problem so thats like $20 a month, its not a lot but its free cash. |

They stopped offering Best Buy Giftcards : ( But PayPal is better anyways. Whenever I get a Best Buy GC it ends up making me spend more money then I had planned. Get a $10 gift card I buy a PS3, lol. JK not to that extreme but. yea. They just started it. Be sure to do the survey they just sent out, if you qualify its worth 200 points. |

Doesn't seem like many are interested here - which is surprising, because these are actually legit and (in my opinion) better than offer sites like points2shop (I signed up for one offer and now I keep getting junk email, NEVER had it before).
Do I need to put up copies of checks for other places, or what do you people need to get into this stuff? |

I guess people just dont want free money. When I told my friend I made $0.64 for filling out a survey that took me 5 mins he started laughing at me. Im like allright what have you done in the past 5 mins, nothing. Some offers may take a little time but come on guys free money is free money. And even when its not alot it adds up fast. |
NathanOfLight
| | #12 posted April 12, 2008 at 3:39pm (EST) |
Yeah, $.64 isn't much haha, but when the survey you filled out for that 64 cents allows you to participate in surveys that are worth $3 for 10-15 mins, it's worth it. Hell, my mom even takes online surveys haha.
I found another one you might like - it's called "uTalkBack". You do surveys on a variety of things (the last one I did I got to watch an unreleased tv show pilot to comment on it), and the payout is worth it. One of your choices is Amazon gift cards, but another is Gamestop gift cards. I know some people on here hate gamestop haha, but when 300 points = $25 worth of video games, and the typical survey is 100 points for 10-15 minutes, it's quite the deal. |

For which location? Surveyspot? If you're talking about SurveySpot, I never take the ones for just sweeps entries, but I get plenty of paid ones (I have about 3 gaming surveys in my inbox now) - I should hope that you get those too! Just go to www.surveyspot.com, login (if you haven't created a password then do that, it'll tell you) and go to "rewards" - if your $ has been put in there, before you even click rewards there's a red text area that says "You have new rewards..."
If it's not SS, let me know and I"ll help you out. |

What's a good site that really has a crapload of surveys.....one that I could sit there for 3 hours and earn at least 25 bucks? Also, how long does it take to get these checks sent usually? |

Unfortunately you probably couldn't get a crapload of surveys at once at any one place. Your best bet would be Surveyspot though, and even then you'll probably earn maybe $5 a day just from there on average. I have managed to earn about $25 a day from them some days, but the high-paying surveys are usually pretty rare. To make the most money, you'll probably want to sign up for as many places as you can.
As far as checks, it usually takes 4 weeks to get them for most places. Since surveys are open for a week or two, and then the survey places need to collect payment, it can take some time.
There is a place I don't have on here - Pinecone research. They send you a check, or credit money in your paypal next day. And each survey is about $5, though they don't happen every day. I would give you a link there, but the only way you can sign up is if you find a sign-up banner (they want random people, not just everyone). I'm sure google would have a link to someone who knows where it is though (even though pasting a link is illegal  ) |

Yup... The only reason I don't like them too much is because people mostly write when they are po'd. You only get one sided pissed off reports for the most part. At GottaDeal I keep all conversations about a company and their projects in one thread. Some sites post a new thread every time a new question or survey i up. That's obnoxious. With everything in one thread you can follow the post and feedback on a company over a period of time and make your decisions based on a variety of posts and people's input. We also know how' stalking out their ass most of the time so we can disregard what they say. |

20/20 Research, Focus Forward, Chasen Research
Those are a couple off the top of my head. Search them at GottaDeal Their threads w/ sign up links will pop up. There's more listed there. Search craigslist & watch Slick Deals freebies forum. You'd flip if I told you how much I've made in the last 3 years. Just in checks. I make a lot in Amazon GC and merchandise I get to keep.  |
