Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

Apparently the password is case sensitive. I got an email from them today wit the password and explaining that it was case sensitive. A while ago, they sent me an email that had the password in it but this was after I could not login with the password I had and they said my email address was not in the database. I typed in the password but did not know it was case sensitive. That is why I have not been taking their surveys or writing about them recently. But I was able to login to my account with Ipsos and saw that I had accumulated 8 points, so the surveys I had taken before had not been for nothing.

So I took a survey with them today that in the email they said would pay up to 8 points. They said it would take about 25 minutes but it only took about 20 minutes. The survey was really redundant, and I don’t think I am allowed to specifically talk about the contents but there were 2 pages that made me want to stop because they were so redundant and time consuming.

I did complete it though and should have 8 more points credited to my account in 2 days. Ipsos survey Panel I need to earn at least 50 points before I can redeem it for a prize.

American Consumer Opinion is a paid survey site that is well worth your registration. They really excel at what a legitimate survey site should do. I have been a member of ACOP for the last year and a half and I have been very pleased. Their surveys have been interesting and their payment plan is quite good.

I will say that ACOP has some of the more interesting surveys of the many online survey sites. I believe that my first survey from them was an analysis of a suggested video game accessory that would allow people to type quickly while playing an online match. I remember that it really felt like they were interested in my opinion. They asked for what I really thought of the product and left space for me to type a full opinion along with what changes I thought they should make. It was one of the few surveys I’ve had where it seemed like they wanted more than a few statistics.

The pay structure is good too. They don’t have fancy member areas or complicated management systems. If they have a survey for you, they email it. If you fill it out you’ll get a check in a few weeks. Simple and without any annoying hang-ups.

My only complaint is that they don’t seem to have as many surveys as some of the other websites. I usually only get one every month or so. That’s really not a good way to judge them though, as they do not control demand.
ACOP is a great panel to join for anyone who likes doing online surveys. The surveys are good and the payment system is easy. You can’t ask for more.

Today I had another email from inviting me to take part in a survey. This paid survey was worth 50 “marketpoints” or about $2.5 and was only available to 10pm tonight and then they would not need any more opinions on this survey.

Contrary to other paid survey websites they do not usually say about how long the survey will take, however their surveys tend to not be as long as some other survey sites I have experience with. I qualified for this paid survey and it only took about 8 minutes.

So far I have made 255 out of the 1000 point I need to cash out for $50 with Global Test Market

Today I had an email from Survey Savvy inviting me to take part in a $3 survey.  They estimated that it would take 20 minutes if I qualified.

I started taking the survey and about 1/4 of the way through it I realized that I had qualified for it. I finished the survey in about 15 minutes. It was actually a pretty interesting survey, I am not supposed to discuss the actual questions of the survey since most websites in their TOS say that the contents of the surveys are confidential.

So far I have made almost $70 just with survey savvy. But it will take about 4 weeks for my account to be credited with this $3

Today I had 2 different invitations for surveys from Global Test Market. They both were for up to 40 points if I qualified. This is equivalent to about $2 per survey. I did not qualify for either survey. Global test market gives you 5 points for each survey that you don’t qualify for, equivalent to $0.25.

I had just been looking over many paid survey websites that wanted you to pay to sign up so when I found Greenfield Online I was really excited that I didn’t have to pay for anything. Their website is easy to navigate and I could take surveys pretty easily. Some paid surveys they offer require you to use internet explorer and I usually use firefox so I was unable to take some surveys.

A lot of the surveys they had were for sweepstakes entries but I didn’t want to do them so I just skipped them. They frequently had paid surveys emailed to me that paid cash, but they had an equal amount that were just for sweepstakes entries. They were usually pretty accurate guessing the amount of time that the paid survey they sent me would take.

Overall I would say that I had a positive experience with Greenfield Online

I still do not know how to log in to view my account for Ipsos Survey Panel. I have been emailing with the people who run their rewards system. They seem to be trying to get my password but I don’t think it should be this hard. I haven’t taken any of their surveys since I am not sure if I am getting credit for the ones I have already taken.

I had heard good things about this survey panel, but this confusion is lessening the quality of my experience with Ipsos Survey Panel

For about the past week I have not gotten a cash paid survey from Greenfield Online I have been neglecting to take some of the sweepstakes entries surveys since I think my time is better spent taking only paid surveys that are paid in cash/points than sweepstakes entries. If I have absolutely nothing to do I may take one here or there but other than that I’m just going to wait for the cash paid surveys.

Greenfield Online started out so well. I made $11 on my first day with them and got paid a little over 3 weeks later.

Today I got an email from Global Test Market inviting me to take a paid survey. The paid survey said It would pay between 5-50 points. I answered the first 3 questions and was informed that I did not qualify, but they still gave me 5 points for my time. At the conversion ratio from points to cash I got 0.25 for answering the three questions that took 30 seconds.

Today I had an email from Global Test Market reminding me that I still had surveys to fill out. I logged into my account and took the remaining profiles that I had not filled out, I still had four to go. It took me a total of about 20 minutes. Each paid survey was worth 10 points and 1000 points=$50 so I guess I made about $2 in 20 minutes.

So far I have accumulated 105 points in the 2 days I have been with Global Test Market
