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! | NathanOfLight

Yeah, they definitely are, haha.
My best friend just got invited to a gaming community last night. She was here and got an unknown call and I heard the guy asking her questions. $100 for a few hours, lucky girl... if you are a member of Opinion Outpost, it's one that I think is 40-50 opinion points, but you have to own an Xbox360. I'm more of a gamer than her, but I don't have one of those, so I didn't get it  . | NathanOfLight

Even though they don't come through as often as I'd like, I do receive survey requests from them for a few bucks here and there .

Don't do the unpaid ones . They're usually a waste of time, but every once in a while one of the unpaid ones will turn into a focus group (but very rarely). You can usually tell they'll lead to that though, depending on the subject of the email/survey topic.
I think one thing to keep in mind is aside from the fact that the Surveyspot surveys are based strongly on demographics (probably more strongly than most other places, which will leave you not getting many paid ones if you're over the age of 24), Surveyspot used to be one of the best places in terms of payment... but with the economy and everything, most places have cut down the rewards, including SS.
Just make sure you actually open the email - sometimes the subject won't say the survey is paid, but the email itself will list a reward. I get about 8 a day, but only 1-2 of them are unpaid. | NathanOfLight

This is great-free bump to the top for you! I use a bunch of these-I've received $ from globaltest market & pinecone before. Cashed in tons of mypoints over the years, too.
I also use Ipsos Isay, and have received payment from them and can vouch for that one too. Same thing with blingo & erewards. They all add up, don't they?

Glad to hear you mention Pinecone - I was just about to say the signups for Pinecone are open again! So if anyone wants an invite, PM me your email.
Yeah, they do add up. I can vouch for Ipsos too, though I don't get many surveys yet. I see you use SwagBucks - if I see any codes via Twitter and such, I'll let you know. I think the other day they had codes that added up to SIXTY FIVE free Swagbucks... it was kind of nuts! But of course I was in school and only got 5. | dvdfreak2005

Survey Spot is crap. I keep trying to take the paid surveys but it always says I dont qualify no matter what survey it is. Then it let me finish one today but said they wont pay me because to many people took the survey. But dont worry you still get to play the instant win game LOL. It seems like the only legit thing is Lockerz. | NathanOfLight

SurveySpot is still legit... you're just probably not the demographic they want. I qualify probably 50% of the time, but it still ends up getting me decent money. One guy talked to me and said he never qualified, but he ended up lying a lot of the time about his demographic and then was surprised he didn't qualify .
If it says too many people took the survey, it means you didn't finish... sometimes it takes a while to get disqualified, but usually it's not too bad. Just keep at it if you want, otherwise there are other good places too. | NathanOfLight

Survey Spot, for a long time I avoided because it seemed like they would never accept me, well the other day I went through my email and had around 50 surveys from them, some of which had expired, but i figured I would try a few out. After about 30mins-1hour I had made $13, so I was happy. I also started up with opinion outpost again and am glad to see they now pay immediatily with Amazon codes, Awesome, made $12 in Amazon credit in 30 minuets. : ) I joined Swagbucks a while back but have not really given it much time, I think it need to try that one out again, it seems like a fairly easy way to get some Amazon credit. | kratos215

Sure thing. The process of InboxDollars is pretty slow, but it doesn't take too much of your time. Inbox Dollars is probably one of my least favorite of these places, just because you get 1-10 cents per thing, but I'm almost to another $30 for a few minutes of clicking "read this paid email" haha, so I can't complain!

Glad you're having success. I like that Opinion Outpost does the Amazon money now too, since they're trying to phase out checks. My best friend tried Opinion Outpost and in a few months made more than I have in 3 years, it's kind of nuts. She let it all build up in her "bank", so she has a couple hundred on its way to her now (I'm jealous).
Swagbucks is definitely good, but I keep forgetting to search using it. I usually get my bucks from Twitter and Facebook codes, which show up frequently. | NathanOfLight
