It seems to be an electronics beta site, as I've gotten a couple for wireless mice and wireless keyboards. Pretty straight forward - they send you a product if you are selected, you provide thoughtful feedback, and you get to keep the item.

When you win bucks, it asks you to sign in and that’s it.
SwagBucks is on Facebook (join the SwagBucks group), and releases daily "codes" to give you 1-2 free swagbucks (or more). Over time, that can add up, so if you have FB, be sure to look them up!
Now has used video games available for purchase with swagbucks, older systems included!

Just want to give credit to NathanofLight for keeping this thread up to date . I got in on Pinecone and have already product tested (and been paid). Also have a Harris Interactive survey lined up for a decent check . Surveyspot has been tossing me some surveys but not a whole lot to be paid for .
Thanks Nate

Not a problem - a lot of people didn't know surveys were legit, so it's nice to spread that knowledge to help other people.
Surveyspot has been kinda crappy lately for me too - in the last month I've probably only completed like $15 worth of surveys, and normally I had at least $40. Kinda strange (and sucky). |

New update on Opinion Outpost - apparently you have a 1 in 1300 chance of winning the instant win thing at the end of a survey for $50, while only 15-20 people might win the sweepstakes. I think I'll go for the instant win or donate to charity sometimes  |

Here's another good research site. Been with these guys for years too. They always pay.
I would appreciate it if you would tell them I referred to you. When it asks how you found them tick "Referral Contest" and enter my email:
mmm40x@gmail . com Where it asks for my name enter K for the first name and M for the last name.
Sign up link is at the bottom of the page.

They have contacted me in the past for all types of surveys, research projects, mock civil cases etc..... I guess this site could get scary for some if they sztart doing a lot of smoking Tom. They pay pretty darn well and they don't jerk you around.
That's the best I can do for you right now. I'm falling asleep. I haven't slept in two days. Now watch, I'm going to go get into bed and I bet I won't be able to sleep.  That's what happened every time I tried to lay down. I |
