Hi; 
Your site has been so great! I have been using it to sign up and learn about different sites beforehand. I just wanted to share an expereince. I was asked by a survey site to sign up for Vindale Research and I would get cash credited to my account for completeing the free offer. I did this. My experience with Vindale has been poor. They send you surveys to earn money but you have to buy/sign up for a product and evaluate it -all of mine indicated a credit card was required. Then if you do so they give you money --most of the time very little over the cost of obtaining the product/service. It seems like a scam to get people to purchase items they would not otherwise purchase. Plus afterwards you have to go back and cancel services or future shipments of the product in order to not continue the billing -a time consuming pain to do. Hope this saves others from wasted time with this site.

I just wanted to let you know that when my husband( an IT professional) went to sign up for the TechnologyBoard it stated that its certificate was a stolen one. So it is an illegal website. I just thought I would pass that along.
Kristy
6. 21-07-2008 20:30
Hi Kristy, 
Thank you for passing this along. 
 
However, Technology Board is a panel run by the same company (Decision Analyst) who run ACOP(American Consumer Opinion). I have been paid by them and I am certain they are legit.  
 
Sorry but I think their security certificate probably is not a stole one, it might be just expired. 
 
Of course it's up to you/your husband to decide to sign up or not. 
 
Some very good IT panels I suggest your husband sign up (all on my list)

Tech Panel (run by Lightspeed)

Hi; 
I noticed Cash Crate and Quizpoints have many survey companies that you can sign up for as free offers. Some of them you do not have listed anywhere. Is that because they are not worth signing up for? Just wondering since I use your sight as a judgement tool on whether a company will be a good survey site or not.

8. 21-07-2008 20:32
Hi Angela, 
 
You are right. Majority of the free survey offers from Crash Crate and Quizpoints are not real paid survey sites in my opinion - they are emial harvesting sites that use your email address (and other personal info you provide to them) to send you spam emails or mails.  
 
One thing you can do to figure this out is check Privacy Policy, and you will know what I mean. 
 
Thanks for askingthe questions! - It's a good question.

Hi, 
 
Thanks for this site! It is sooo helpful. 
 
Do you know anything about tiktik? I can't figure out if they are a scam or not. They remind me of Panda. Any thoughts? 
 
Thanks!
Lynn
10. 02-01-2008 19:29
Hi Lynn, 
 
You are welcome! I am glad it's helpful.:) 
 
Regarding tiktik cash, I would NOT sign up with them and would NOT recommend them to anyone at all! They have a high payout requirement of $100. That is definitely a red flag.  
 
I think you are probably right, they are just another Panda. 
 
Best regards!

Do you have an information of homesurveyworkers.com? The fee is 2.95b plus another 1x fee of 39.95. They promise $10 or $20 a survey with a potential of 8 a day for 6 figs a year. 
I am going thru your list of free sign ups and have registered with a dozen. Has anyone had success with paying this webistes fees and getting much back in return.
Laure Zimmermann-McNeff
22. 03-05-2008 21:37
Hi Laure, 
 
I went to the site but seems the site is down at this moment. I will take a look later. 
 
However, based on information you provide, I would suggest NOT register/pay them the fee. I am pretty sure that they are just another "membership" site that charge you for a list of paid survey sites (and possible junk spam and scam sites).  
 
6 fig a year? No kidding! :zzz

are all the surveys on this list legit non-scam sites? or just the ones with the ratings? Thanks.
Mike
30. 13-06-2008 22:21
Hi Mike, 
 
All the survey sites on this list are legit. I usually add reviews and ratings once get paid by them, that's why you don't see all of them have reviews, yet. :)

31. 14-06-2008 18:06
Hi, great site. Thank you. 
I'm paranoid about giving my address and phone number. They only use these to send checks right?
Diane
32. 15-06-2008 20:41
Hi Diane, 
 
You don't need to worry if you sign up with legit market research and survey sites. Yes they use your address for sending checks..The only time they call you is for phone interview or screening for focus groups. :)

Ampario - have you heard of this company Mei? i did a few of their suveys and took me to an OTX survey.....just wondering if they pay anything

Hi Jeff,  
 
Are you talking about amp survey? Can you give me the url of the site? Thanks!
Mei
35. 17-06-2008 22:50
Mei, here is the url:  
 
http://www.ampario.com/content/ 
 
this might be the amp survey that you mentioned, im not sure...
Jeff D
36. 18-06-2008 11:25
Hi Jeff, 
 
Thanks for the url. and Yes, that is AMP Survey. I have heard about this site. I am not introducing them because I was concerned about their privacy policy, and last night I checked them again and I think you won't get paid, they just give you a entry for sweepstakes. And AMP Survey indeed is run by OTX Research.

Do you know if the site surveyhead.com is legitimate? They are the original owners of GoZing (which I know is legit), and are converting focusline.com members over. They offer $5 for signup. Because the site is new, I am a little leary of them. 
 
This site is very well put together. The top 20 on your list are my favorites! I have found quite a few here I didn't know about, and others I have wanted to try. Thanks so much for the information, Mei!
Hi Mei,
38. 26-06-2008 09:48
Hi, 
 
I believe Surveyhead is legit, even though I just joined and have not been paid yet. I used to do LOT of surveys for GoZing, and have always been paid! So I am very confident (almost certain) I will get paid by surveyhead. I am aware that they are converting focusline members. If you join them now(via my site here), you will get sign up $5.00 too. 
 
Thanks for your comment and I am glad you like my site. Hope to talk to you again!

I am really confused. 
I am looking for a site that I can sign up for free and I wouldn't be involved in any giveaways/sweepstakes. and that you are 100 % sure that they pay you for each survey, asking for the best website you've ever used. Thank you so much :)

47. 08-09-2008 09:25
Hi, 
 
They might be legit, however, they ask you to provide your credit card information and monitor your spending habit. I am not sure how many people will be comfortable with that.
