Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

I took about 6 paid surveys today from Greenfield Online. They were all for sweepstakes entries, but since I didn’t qualify to take any of them I got entered into the big sweepstakes 6 times.

The email I got from them today was inviting me to take part in a survey that would take an estimated 70 minutes and the reward was a sweepstakes entry. Usually I take every survey offered to me in order to write accurate reviews of my experience with the paid survey site that I am reviewing. However I just decided to skip this one. 70 minutes just for a sweepstakes entry that I had little chance of winning.

I didn’t post anything about American Consumer Opinion for the past 10 days because I had nothing to post about them.

They don’t have much of a member’s area on the website, and you can only take paid surveys when they email you. I got my first email from them. It was for a paid survey that would take about 2-3 minutes and it was for a sweepstakes entry. They said that if you won anything in the sweepstakes they would send you a check.

The survey took about 2 minutes to complete. From the things I have heard about them American Consumer Opinion sends survey out pretty infrequently but they usually pay pretty well.
