Thoughts on MySurvey.com

[disneysteve]

Thanks to Ima, my wife and I signed up for MySurvey.com a couple of months ago. Apparently, my wife is the much more desirable member. So far, I've done numerous surveys and most have been for 10 or 25 points. I have a total of 370 reward points. It will take me a year to get to 1000 and be able to get any money.

My wife, however, has gotten several invites for high point surveys, including one last night for 750 points. She has already earned 1,700 points, in the same time period.

So the service isn't bad if you are in the right demographic, which, apparnetly, I am not.

Wow! That's cool.

I dropped it, it wasn't worth the time for the 6 months it took me to accumulate 300 points or something. We were both the wrong demographic. Bummer.

Well, I have earned over $80 this year. Most of the surveys seem to be for women, very few have been for my husband. It helps if you can sign up some people also. If anyone wants to join, send me your first name and e mail address to juliedenksi @ Yahoo.com and leave out the spaces.

I have been with Mysurvey for about 5 years. It is not as good as it used to be, but for me, every little bit helps. I have also gotten some pretty nice test products from them over the years. I have a list of my best money making sites on my blog if anyone is interested.

I don't know about that. I just checked both our survey histories. I've done 15. She's done 17. Almost all were done by both of us - auto repair, health, thoughts on autos, how we connect to the internet, etc. But the most I earned for a survey was 50 points. The most she earned was 750 and she got 2 surveys for 250 points each. The high point ones were a survey on gum and mints (guys use those too) and on food shopping (guys do that too). Other than gender, her demographics (family size, income, age, etc.) are pretty much identical. In fact, a couple of the surveys she got she asked me to complete because it was all stuff that I handle and she didn't know the answers (internet, banking, etc.).

So I don't know how they assign surveys. I'm just jealous that she's earning more than me. Though as she reminded me last night, I get the doctor surveys that pay cash each time so I shouldn't complain.

I have 95 points so far and I've only been a member for 13 days. So, I guess I'm doing ok. I'm not in it for quick cash. I'm fine if it takes me a year to cash out.

I've had the most success with Surveyspot & InboxDollars. In the past 13 days, I've made probably $10 with Surveyspot and ~$8 from InboxDollars.

I can't seem to qualify for ANY of the surveys Lightspeed invites me to. Which seems to be a lot. I also don't like Cashcrate that much. I didn't realize it was mostly offers and not surveys. I've yet to qualify for a Daily Survey for them.

I've gotten about $3 from Quizpoints. I'm going to do 15 daily surveys with them in October so I can get the 250 additional points.

Eisor, Have you tried Global Test Market? They send lots of surveys, most of which I don't qualify for, BUT, for every one you don't qualify for they still give you 5pts. If you qualify you get 50-70pts and when you reach 1000pts you can cash out for $50! It actually adds up pretty quick.

e-rewards is like that. They'll give you some credit even if you don't qualify.

Yep, I do that one also. I turn in my rewards for the same things every year:

6 free blockbuster movies
2 free magazine subscriptions
$25.00 off FTD, so I can send my mom flowers on her birthday for a reasonable amount.

I'm doing Global Test Market as well. I didn't realize it cashes out for that much. I have 60 points so far there. I think I got another 25 today as well.

How do you sign up for e-rewards? It says by invitation only. Can members send referrals?

Really? E-rewards is invite only? I'll check it out and see.

O.K. I just checked the site and I can't find anything about referrals or invites, maybe Disneysteve can check. Sorry!

[eisor]

It is e-rewards.com right?

It says you have to have an invite from a sponsor company. I don't belong to any of the sponsor companies.

DH belongs to Delta Skymiles. I wonder if I could sign up with his #?

We are about to do the free Entertainment book rewards membership with Blockbuster. Maybe I'll try signing up with that.

Yes, you have the correct site. I checked again and I do see the sponsor thingy your talking about. I don't remember having to do that, but it has been years ago and things must have changed.

I am not that impressed with CashCrate either. There are too many offers and some require you giving out your credit card information and in general just too much information. I had a voice message service added on to my telephone carrier and had to have it taken off. You have to be very careful how you answer these surveys.

I'm becoming very wary of surveys that ask the name of banks that you have accounts with and wanting to know how much money you have. Be very careful. I'm starting to think twice before I give out information.

I haven't answered anything I would be suspicious of yet. The only money questions I have had are the annual household income (which is on EVERY survey) and then on some surveys it asks something about have $10k invested. But, no specifics.

But, I'd be wary of those type of surveys too!

[Aleta]

It's one thing for them to ask your opinion of something rather than asking you direct questions about your own personal life. So, if you start doing a survey and you're uncomfortable with the questions, just log off.

[herm4]

I have had good luck with cashcrate, it is one of my favorites. I agree you should never give out your bank info, I certainly don't. I also rarely ever do an "offer" unless it is something I'm really interested in. I just stick with the daily survey. Certain survey sites are just going to work better for some, than for others....
