Planet-Surveys.com is another site requiring you to pay a membership fee ($29.95) to access their survey company list/directory/database.  Like always, I would recommend anyone NOT to pay to join any of those membership site. As for them, here is what they say on their website:

"Planet Surveys is an online marketing research organization . We help companies that want to hear your opinion find you, listen to you, and compensate you for the time  you  spend  helping them improve. Our members earn $300 to $550 per week by taking on-line   surveys,  participating  in virtual  focus  group  discussions,  and testing   new   products,   websites  and  services! ---"

There are two problems here:

First, they are not a marketing research organization;

Second: Nobody can make $300 to $550 per week.

Be aware and stay away from this site!

I agree. This sounds like a scam to me. I wouldn't pay the $30.00 membership fee. If they need people tp participate them membership should be free.

Has anyone actually used their service. I worked in marketing research for about 6 years and the fee does seem a little fishy to me; however, I can also see administration fees for providing all of the info to one source (e.g., me or you). Maybe someone has actually had success with them? 
 
Thx!

I started getting e-mails from them, asking my to join. Of course they don't say anything about that membership fee. Ever since I found out it's a scam I've started messing with their heads, asking how they got my e-mail (their answer makes no sense to me) and why I should pay to join when no other job would make me pay to take the position. We'll see what they do!

Luckily the one time I decided to try a paid survey site with a membership fee, I received a full refund after requesting one, when I realized the site was bogus. Chances are this site is no less bogus.

Hi A and Sidney, 
 
Thanks for sharing your feedback! 
 
And I agree with you A on "why I should pay to join when no other job would make me pay to take the position"!
