It seems to be an electronics beta site, as I've gotten a couple for wireless mice and wireless keyboards.

I recommend using the toolbar available for download on the site - that way you can search without having to go to the site and you won’t forget. 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!

Nope. No problems with them. I wish I could find more of the higher paying research projects. I've got $225.00 on it's way to me from a few so I have had a couple. It's still slow and I need a lot of money right now. |

Go to Gottadeal.com Click on forums. Then go to the survey & research forum. Stickied, are a survey 101 thread and a thread full of links. I tell you everything you need to know. I've also posted links and feedback on tons of survey sites and market research companies. There are no bogus sites there. I built that damn forum. Just the survey forum. Not Gottadeal. I quit the site and being the forum mod but all my info is there and it's well organized. If you have questions you can post there or PM me. I'll help you out. |

Hey Nathan, are you close to the twin cities? If you are willing to go into the cities, primarily Minneapolis, (I think) In know they hold a lot of in person interviews and focus groups there. If you are interested I can look up the company for you. I know I have also seen some held in Apple Valley, a few in Blaine and a couple other burbs just outside the cities. One of the companies that does a lot in the cities is Delve. |

What happens is you sign up on the join page, they send you the email confirmation, then send surveys to your email. You then have to go back to surveyspot.com and create a password for your account, since your account page will have your rewards in it. They should have just asked you to make a pass when you sign up, but that's how they work.
As far as the invalid email ID error, that simply means the emails in the two email fields (one being the confirmation area) didn't match. |
