SURVEYS
AMERICAN CONSUMER OPINION PANEL
This is an excellent survey company! They pay between $4.00-$25.00 per survey, and the check is in the mail as soon as the survey closes, which is usually just a couple of days.
These surveys are actually interesting! You really get paid for expressing your opinion here on every subject under the sun. I'm sure they might offer up a dud once in a while, but for the most part these are really interesting surveys.
My only complaint is that they don't send invitations to participate in surveys often enough. It can vary, but once every two weeks or less is about the frequency of all the surveys you'll be offered.
OPINION OUTPOST
Opinion Outpost is a very well-established, reliable survey company. They'll email you an invitation to take a survey whenever one comes up that matches your profile. The frequency of the invitations can vary from a couple a day to one or two a week, just depending on what comes in. They'll tell you in advance how much the survey pays, and you can decide if you want to take it or not. The pay per survey will vary from about $2.00-$10.00, though they could occasionally go higher, most average about $4.00 for a twenty minute survey. You can request a check anytime that your balance is $5.00 or more. Very good company! SURVEY SAVVY GET PAID TO VOICE YOUR OPINION AT SURVEY SAVVY! Pays by check, no minimum to cash out. Survey Savvy will email you an invitation whenever they have a survey that fits your profile. You might not get an invitation for two weeks, or you might get two a day. They'll tell you in advance how much it pays, and you can decide whether or not to accept it. They also have an excellent referral program where you will be paid $2.00 for every survey that a person that you refer completes, and you'll be paid $1.00 for every survey that each of your referral's referrals completes. There's opportunity to make a lot of income here without even taking a survey yourself! MY SURVEY The majority of the surveys offered here take less than 10 minutes to complete and are very easy to qualify for. A lot of them don't pay much but it seems like the more invitations that you respond to, the more, and better paying ones, that they send you. They also have drawings where you can win as much as $10,000! OPINION SQUARE
You'll earn points and tokens here for taking surveys. The tokens are used to "spin the wheel" which will give you a chance to boost your point total. Then you can redeem your points for your choice of a huge selection of merchandise and gift cards. Shipping and handling are free. They also have frequent drawings where you can win cash prizes. They don't offer cash pay per survey, but they do have a very large selection of quality merchandise to choose from, and the points add up fast. The rest of the companies on this page aren't really consumer survey companies, per se, but they're not really GPT sites either. They fall somewhere in between. They all pay, though, in either cash or merchandise, or drawings/sweepstakes to win cash and/or prizes. NIELSEN//NETRATINGS This is the famous Nielsen family that's been influencing television programming for over 50 years! Now they're studying the trends of the Internet. This is an easy one here. You download their software and they do the rest. They claim their software is harmless, and it's used to study viewer habits, such as with search engines, online shopping, etc. You'll get periodic opportunities to play their "wave and win" game, where 1,500 people will instantly win a prize, going as high as $10,000!

THIS SITE IS FOR REAL
This company will send you a list of surveys and offers usually every day or two, and you can choose which ones you like. They pay once a month by check, and minimum cash-out is only ten dollars, so that's easy enough to reach. They also pay members a percentage of their referral's earnings, going six levels deep, so there's the potential for quite a bit of money being made this way.
ThisSiteIsForReal.com has a good reputation for always paying their members on time and in full, so it has my recommendation.
