I’ve been doing online surveys for a month or so on several different sites. They are all FREE to join. I don’t mind doing them but it seems as though I don’t qualify for most surveys.
My favorite site is Opinion Outpost so far I have earned $17.30. This by far is my favorite survey site. Minimum payout is 50 points which equals $5.00.
Another site I like is Your Two Cents. I’ve earned $10.00 there. Minimum payout is $5.00.
My Survey is another site I like. I have earned 895 points there. Minimum payout is 1,000 points which equals $10.00.
I’ve been offered surveys with Test Spin but I have yet to meet the demographic profile they are looking for. Money earned there stands at ZERO. 04/1808 - I think I’ll be giving up on this site. Wouldn’t you know it not even 6 hours after I had given up on this site I got another opportunity to take a survey so I figured what the heck, might as well give them one last chance. I ended up qualifying and am supposed to be credited with $1 but my account hasn’t been credited yet. I’ll update when I finally get the credit.
A. W. Surveys - I have earned $27 taking surveys there. They require you to long on every 45 days or your account will become inactive and I’m not sure exactly what that means. Minimum payout is $75.
Survey Spot is a site I really don’t recommend. I’ve taken a lot of surveys there and towards the end of the survey they’ll say I don’t qualify and they’ll enter me in a drawing. It seems to me that if I don’t qualify for the survey they should know within a few questions. I just ignore their emails now.
I just joined Survey Savvy and Pine Cone but I haven’t taken any surveys yet with either and am unsure of the minimum payouts.
I recently joined Mills Advisory Panel. I think I’m going to like it. They pay out $10 via cash or amazon gift certificate when you reach 1,000 points.
Here’s a few more that I just found:
I-Say
BuzzBack
Global Test Market
ePoll
I have a separate email account that I use for the survey sites that way I’m not mixing the surveys with my personal email. If I’m in the mood for a survey I can check the survey email address but if I’m not then I don’t have to be bothered. I haven’t received any junk email at my survey email address - which pleasantly surprises me.

You got in with Pinecone? You’ll love them.
I’ve been doing online surveys for years. My favorite site, the one i spend the most time on and earn the most is CashCrate.
There are more survey sites, (tons and tons) and you’ve done the right thing by opening a separate email addy. You will eventually get email from all the sites you did “offers” from, but they usually come with an unsubscribe.
Good for you for realizing what so many do not and making a valid effort to get out of debt. I hope it goes quickly for you!

Congrats on earning nearly $50…your well on your way. I just cashed out nearly $300 in my November earnings. It really depends on you and how many organizations you sign up for. If you want a Free resource to help you, I can recommend My survey Beggar directory. Its entirely free and you will find easily 300 more survey sites and nearly all have paid me. There are some on there like AWsurveys which is great in its own right but most are legitimate survey organizations, university research programs, marketing firms, product testing organizations and such. I like these even better cause they are more like your Opinion Post, Test Spin, & Pinecone. They will send you actual research studies.
Also, I am looking for survey takers myself. You see the survey beggar is a liscensed affiliate distributor of market research for a company called United Sample. Yesterday, I was looking for people to take surveys on Chew Tobacco and another one on Dvds being released for the Xmas holidays. If you prequalified and then took the survey honestly, United Sample paid an honorarium of $4 each and it only took my survey beggars about 20mins. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Good luck on the debt. I feel your pain…it took me 5 years to get unburried from the credit card messed I created for myself but let me tell you, it is so nice to go into a store and pay for something with cold, hard, debt free Cash!!
