I will be adding new survey panels to this list along the way and If you like shopping at amazon like me, make sure to sign up with all the them. I have cashed out amazon gift cards from some of those survey sites many times because shop at amazon.com very often.
Other store gift cards I have earned from surveys are walmart, target, kmart, oldnavy gift cards (those are the ones I can remember and I am sure there are others) and have used them either online or at the stores.
Why sometimes I prefer amazon gift cards over cash reward?
Even though cash is my number one choice of survey payment, sometimes I do prefer amazon or store gift cards over cash for the following reasons or advantages:
- Usually it is faster to receive amazon gift card code compare to Paypal and check;
- For some survey panels, less points is needed to redeem amazon gift cards (meaning lower minimum cash out threshold), so you can cash out faster. You can check out my individual survey panel reviews where I share detailed cash out option information.
- Amazon gift certificates never expire once added to your account, and I always immediately deposit amazon gift card into my account once I receive it.
- I know some people (especially kids or teens) may not have a bank or Paypal accounts, so amazon and store gift card is a nice alternative reward option.
Notes & Tips on Gift Cards Survey Rewards:
#1: Always check expiration date on any gift cards you receive just in case. I remember one of my site visitors told his unfortunate story about an expired visa prepaid card he earned for a online focus group he attended.
#2: Check your gift cards balance and make sure it is valid as soon as possible. On the back of the gift cards, usually there is a website address or telephone number you can call to confirm your card balance. For amazon gift cards, I always load the gift card codes into my amazon account immediately or shortly after receiving them, because if there is any problems I will discover it right away, and once gift cards loaded into your amazon account, it never expires!
#3: Spend your gift card as soon as you can. Using your card soon will enable you to make sure that there is no problem with them or discover the problem early on.
#4: If there is any problems with your gift cards, contact the survey company immediately. This is important because if you find problem and act quickly, it’s more likely problem get resolved.
Final Thoughts
Gift cards is a very popular survey reward option and has its advantages over cash like lower redeem threshold. I know many people prefer cash but I really think you should join the gift card paying survey panels I listed above to not miss any excellent survey opportunities!

Getting annoyed with companies offering only Amazon gift cards as compensation. Prepaid cards are also a problem. Got a prepaid card and it bad already been partially used. Just give me cash!!
Thanks for your comment Jeanne. I agree with you!
I did a lengthy survey from IHS marketing regarding the purchase of a new car. They sent me an email with a claim # for a $10 Amazon gift card. I found out that it was issued and invalidated within 24 hours. Amazon couldn’t explain why, but they took my complaint seriously and issued me a $10 credit. So beware.
HI Beverly, I have never heard of IHS marketing, thanks very much for the warning!
I would like to know how I can get an invitation to any of the survey sites that are “by invitation only.” There are a few out there that I am really interested in joining, but just don’t know how to go about it. Thanks for your help.
Hi Sandy, which “by invitation only” survey sites you are interested?
Mei, the surveys I am interested in joining are Viewpoint Forum and Life Fun and Everything. Both of these survey sites are presently by invitation only.
Sandy
Hi Sandy,I just checked my account with ViewPoint Forum – their “Refer a Friend” Temporarily Suspended. They haven’t opened registration for quite a long time, I don’t know when they are going to accept new members but I definitely will let you know if that happens.
Life Fun and Everything – I never heard of this panel (but I will take a look).
Thank you. I appreciate your help
Hi Mei,
I wanted to let you know that the Research Surveys sent by RainKing Solutions are legitimate and participants receive a $15 Amazon Gift Card within the week of participating. They also receive a copy of the aggregate results from the survey. Information about the participant remains confidential, and is not shared with any other organizations.
My best,
Dorie
Hi Dorie, Thanks for the information about RainKing Solutions, and I would love to check them out. Do you have a website address or info on how to sign up? Thanks again, cheers!
I heard on the news last night that Survey Monkey will be doing a lot of Political Opinion Surveys, starting now until the election.. How do I sign up for them?
Hi Barbara, I think SurveyMoney is a survey software/platform tool that you can create surveys with, although I couldn’t wrong. As far political surveys, based on experience HCD and YouGov might have more surveys in upcoming election months especially YouGov. Hope it helps!
