Question "Opinion or Survey" sites

Does anyone know of any legit places like this? The ones that give you money or rewards or points for doing surveys, etc? I am a member of Opinion Outpost, but they very seldom send out surveys and I never "qualify" to complete their survey.

Thanks,
Robin

I use Pinecone research. $5 a survey, and as a 23 year old female, apparently my opinion is highly valuable as I get 1 or 2 surveys a week!

I do Pinecone also. I also do one called NFOmy survey. I just did one and should receive a $10 check from them soon.

www.harrispollonline.com

Harris Poll is very well known. Completely legit.

I get a survey every week or two. You always get some points for each survey you respond to; sometimes you get more points if you fit the demographic they are looking for and fill out a longer survey.

Points can be exchanged for a variety of things. My favorites are the gift cards to Target, Barnes & Noble, or Starbucks.

I also like that I am making my voice heard in a small way.

Do you know how I can sign up for the Pinecone one? It sounds perfect

Thanks

I've written reviews of my favorite survey sites here .

I also like Pinecone, but you have to wait til you find a banner to sign up. I had a link for folks under 24 (here's the link) but I think it probably expired a long time ago. You can try, though.

Rockin, I think I signed up on here, I have only done 3 so far, but they pay promptly. I know you sent me a e mail, but for some reason, I can't get it to come thru, for me to read.

K hon thanks.

I emailed them and they said they are not taking referrals right now. That they are placing random "banner" ads on sites and that's how they will get their people for now. So it doesn't look like I will be joining them, as I use google popup blocker

Thanks anyway...

I wasn't very happy with Lightspeed. A lot of the surveys I didn't qualify for. They often took 20 minutes or more and it took me quite a while to accumulate enough points for a $5 g.c.! I decided my time was worth more than that, so I stopped doing them.

Yeah, I used to be annoyed with Lightspeed too, but then I got a series of really high-point surveys, like a 500 one and a couple 300 ones.

I use lightspeed... as previous posters have put, I dont qualify for all of them, and some of them are pretty lengthy, but I do it more as a slow accumulation and really I dont mind doing longer ones. spidermetrix.com is another one I use, but it's not one for quick results. The good thing, though, is that they do a website review forum, and if your review gets posted, you get more points. I've found a few really cool websites looking on those forums! I'm gonna have to look into some of the sites others have posted, though
