(The GOOD companies to join!)





A few things you should know before you get started:
Most companies offer sweepstakes entries or entries into prize drawings even if you do not qualify for a survey, or if you get terminated from one.
A "GC" is a gift certificate and there are a lot of companies that offer Amazon GC's since they are very popular.
If you think we should know of a survey company you've found, please email us! Help us learn about these survey companies better so we can all benefit from them!
And also, let us know if you've been burned by a survey company, so we can BLACKLIST them!
We've added some COLORFUL flags to help you spot the type of reward YOU want!
CASH - These are companies that will pay you cash! They might also offer you other gifts in compensation, but if you can get money for doing their surveys, we've given them the CASH icon! These companies either put money (or points that equal money) earned from the surveys you complete, into an account, upon which you can redeem when the minimum redemption amount is reached. Usually, this amount is $5. OR they simply will send you a check after each completed survey. Examples of these types are companies such as GlobalTestMarket, which puts points into your account after each completed survey, and each point has a cash value. OR, on the other hand, Pinecone is a company that sends you a check in the mail, directly after each survey is completed.
POINTS - These companies let you earn points for completing their surveys, and you can redeem these points for prizes, such as gift certificates or prizes from their catalog. One great example of this type of company is ZoomPanel!
ENTRY - These companies will give you an entry, or several entries, into their sweepstakes, drawing, or whatever they wish to call it. You might win a gift, or cash! It's a shot in the dark when you think of how many other people are completing the same survey as you---HOW could you EVER win, right?---well, don't let that kind of thinking stop you! If you don't have an entry, you've got no shot at all! And it's worth it, it's so simple to sit and complete a survey.... and I've won before in the past! Not once, not twice, but quite a few times! So finish those surveys to have your chance too! You might also receive as compensation a product to test and keep.
PRIZES - Some companies, like the Flavor's Designer's Club, or BzzAgent, offer products, (what I'll refer to here as prizes), to test and keep as compensation.
