pinecone research pays $3 each and i get about 4 a month.amscot will cash it and walmart
I don't know what you're problem with them was, I got paid via Paypal just fine. Survey Spot is actually one of the first sites I got paid from and one of the few I recommend to friends.
Hi Doug, sure top 5 are great, but I suggest you sign up as many as possible cause many of survey sites on the list are pretty good.
They won't say when or why, just that their system detected an irregularity (there are none because I check my details regularly) and not only were they blocking my account with no explanation but they are stealing back £20 of incentives I earned...
Daily Survey (PR1904) - India
Daily Survey Router (PR1980) - Worldwide
BUT I NEED MORE TRICKS TO COMPLETE A SURVEY ANY ONE HAVE NOW I M GIVE U MY TRICK & U GIVE ME YOUR , ANY ONE INTERSTED CONTACT ME NOW :- ( affiliate2withm e
I'm From India
I have taken some surveys and at the end the company has required me to purchase something, or signup for a paid program.
Do these companies on your list do that particular practice at the end of their surveys?
My mom did Pinecone Research for years I always liked helping her try out the products especially when they would send food... I signed up to do it however I did not qualify for it you have to watch for banners or someone who already does it can recommend you thats the only way to do it with them but they are most definantly scam free
It appears since their moving accounts to a new site they are auto-replying to every support request with that response.
Are you sure your account is actually frozen?
I know I was not able to login for around 2 weeks before they sent me an email with details to login to the new site.
I just found out that my account is frozen too and I have been a member for years. I received an automated email after I sent one. It said:
"If you are not able to log in, this may be because some accounts were not moved over in the initial batch. In many cases, this was due to data concerns. We need to review these accounts before reactivating them. The points and surveys are still there, it just may take some time to migrate all of them over to the new site. If you have emailed about this already, we have your request stored and we will send you an email as soon as you are able to log in."
I am very confused and don't understand exactly what this means. You will notice it really doesn't tell you what is going on with your account being frozen.
PINECORN RESEARCH IS A JOKE. I AM SO MADE WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.THHEY HAD A SURVEY THEY EMAIL TO ME WORTH 3.00,TO FINISH THAT SUVEY IT CAME UP TO 10.00 THEY DID NOT EMAIL ME ON THAT ONE. I HAD TO GO TO THERE WEBSITE AND PULL UP MY ID.THEY DID NOT WANT TO PAY OUT THE 10.00 SURVEY TO PEOPLE WHO KNEW ABOUT THE SURVEY SO THEY BLOCKED YOUR ID SO YOU COULD NOT EXCESS IT. I THOPUGHT THEY WHERE A GOOD COMPANY. NO MORE I THINK EVERY COMPANY THINK THAT THE CONSUMER IS STUPID BECAUSE WE ARE ON THIS SIDE OF THE COMPUTER
inbox dollars is not a scam.
however, as I wouldn't sign up for offers that cost me money, it took a couple of years to reach the $30. payout. they sent the check immediately after I requested it.
They are not a scam, I have been paid by them
My account was frozen after a couple of years so I'm guessing that if you make too much that they find a reason to close/freeze your account. Try emailing them to unfreeze your account.
plz help me find genuine survey site to earn money.....
hi
an excellent site to join is http://www2.quickrewards.net/?r=!F94VXV35D4V8B
copy paste this link on to your address bar and register.
there is around 10c per day for 5 mins work + at least $3 per day if you do the surveys every day... there are about 10 surveys every day but you may get through 4-6 per day.
If you buy online using quickrewards link, you get cashback or points that can be converted later into cash. I use Paypal for my daily cashouts.
Hope this works well for you!

Still love how their support gives no explanation for anything.
Kindly sugest me survey sites which wrk in india too...i shall be highly thnk ful to u
Really appreciate the feedback... Please keep us updated on what happens next..Thanks!!
Anne - sorry to heard paid surveys is not working well for you. I know it might be a little tough for retirees. Do you mind telling which 20 sites you signed up with?
A total waste of my precious time and energy!
I got this response "Thank you for your patience. Please know your points are being returned for your canceled order."
And the points are back in my account as stated.
I guess we will see if they pay out this time around...
I had an issue logging in like a month ago, it said my account was inactive, after contacting support it was re-activated with no explanation why it was made inactive.
about a week later i reached the $10 cash out through paypal requirement and when i tried to cash out it gave me a message stating that " sorry your cart total exceeds your account balance" when I was 300 over the required point level.
Contacted support and got that resolved but that is the cash out that has been "canceled due to fraudulent activity"
on top of that i am again having the cart total exceeds point balance error again.
I did a quick search and found some of the survey panel rating sites, i noticed quite a few negative reviews recently compared to mostly positive before, including one persons account that was closed for not living in the US when they do.
It almost sounds like Mysurvey is starting to do anything possible to avoid paying out.
It used to be near the top of the list.
I was going to post a comment because Im having Issues with cashing out and now they say its because of "fraudulent activity".
I wanted to ask if anyone else is having the same issue and if thats why its no longer on the list?
You are welcome tracy, and thanks for visiting!
i type in my information (including a temp password they assigned) and the page simply appears to reload, no error message.
I have been going back and forth with their support for almost week now and they say nobody else is having problems.
(sorry for posting this on the main page but since dailysurveypane l has no review here I couldn't put it on the specific page.)
I have been doing surveys for palm Research for more than a year. I finely earned $10. I ask to redeem it. They agreed. And said I would recieve credit on april 15. I checked my pay pal account and it hasent been credited yet. i have contacted them numerous times, with no response from them. What do i do now?
Please help!
betty
However, there are some sites I did wrote reviews but didn't put the links yet (I will do it as soon as I can)..at the mean time, could you check the "Paid Survey Reviews" section to see if you can find the survey sites that have been reviewed. If you can't find the ones you would like to review, please let me know which sites and I will set up the review pages so at least you and others can write your reviews.
Thanks for pointing this out and you are very appreciated for providing suggestions and feedback!! :cheer:
ViewPoint forum sign up link (http://www.viewpointforum.com/signup.htm )
I just added it to the list. Seems there are some changes at Hotspex for good. My Hotspex account is no longer active and I just emailed them requested to active it. We'll see.
Zip Code = Postal Code = PostCode
Many names for the same thing
I have been doing survers over a year now. Recently some of the surveys ask for "postcode". That's a new one on me. can someone tell me what "postcode" is?
I appreciate it.
Betty
TO BAD THAT ALL THE SURVEYS ARE ALL MERGING AS IT USED TO BE FAIRLY GOOD INCOME FOR PETTY CASH.
NOW WITH ALL THE COMBINING AND LOWERING OF REWARDS AND RAISING OF THE CAPS TO CASH OUT, ITS REALLY IS PATHETIC. AND IS NO FUN OR VERY REWARDING ANYMORE.BEEN DOING SOME FOR 20 AND 10 YEARS, BUT A JOKE NOW AND WORKING FOR PENNIES.A REAL WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT AS THEY ALSO DONT SEND ANY SURVEYS WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE TO CASHING OUT I NOTICE.VERY SLIMY NOW.
I can't log in to the site anymore
I to am an American citizen but my work keeps me overseas most of the time. Fortunately I have a physical address in the USA (House in Texas)which makes me eligible. If you have a physical address in the USA The following steps will help.
1)Use Super IP Hide to set your IP to USA this will allow you to use sites that verify your location via your IP.
2) If Your rewards are sent through the mail (checks/prizes) then use a mail forwarding service.
I am asking because I work full-time, have two little girls, and am not sure I have much time. Just wondering if I should start taking surveys.
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment!

Did find you in the AARP article of March/April. Glad I did . I have been working with some of these surveys for a while. All comments are valid. Especially, when you take a survey for about 10-15 minutes and they come back with you don't qualify. Seems to me they are getting the survey information up front, without rewarding you. Will chat later on specifics, but I know Esearch is a better survey group.
They deliver.
Thank you and have a great day.

I want to sign with some of the paid survey programs. But ask me for my physical address. I was thinking about to get me a po box address but the programs that i have had start to fill don't want a po box address. Do I have to give them my physical address in order to receive my payment?
Lori,
I have been a member of this panel for about 6 years. I have never had a problem cashing out my reward money. I just received a check from them Saturday. It only took 2 weeks to receive it!
