Hi,
I've seen the add the occasionally pops up on here for making some extra money by taking surveys. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if it's a scam?
Thanks.

all right! I'll concede to clicking the add as well. LOL.

I was taken to surveyadventure.com, a company based somewhere in California and sporting a decent privacy policy when you consider what that company does. Now, according to the terms of service, you could spend time taking their surveys and not be paid. The explination was far from concrete, only referencing that you could be disquallified for any reason and at Surveyadventure's sole discretion. No appeal.

That said, i don't go scouring the legal conditions of get-paid-to survey sites, so this thing could be very much the norm.

I have registered and taken surveys with sendearnings.com, one of the companies you can sign up for by clicking the ad link. Money is building in my account as a result, but I have yet to click the request a payment link. So I don't know if I'll actually ever see any of this money. I'll keep interested parties informed, though.

sendearnings has proven to be lejitament so far and I've been with them since 2004.
Another one similar to them is inbox dollars and if you want points instead of money a site you can check out is mypoints
I don't know how lejit this site on the add is but I can give out links to some valid survey companies if anyone wants them.

I found yet another website that gives you cash for taking surveys, as well as for signing up for offers from other websites. Of course, when you sign up for the offers, you don't ever have to do anything with them again if you don't want. And this one has a $10 minimum payout.

I'm not going to post my referral link here, but if anyone is interested, send me a private message.

Note: If I refer you, feel free to refer someone else! I get 20 percent of your earnings if I refer you, and you get 20 percent of earnings from people you refer. Plus, I get 5 or 10 (I don't remember for sure) percent of what people you refer earn. So everybody wins!!

Hey. I also signed up to one of these survey sites, well actually, a friend refered me to the one she does. It is called global test market, and so far, it seems ok.
You get points for each survey you complete, and from what I can figure out, 1 point = 5 US cents, and you can request payment at 1000 points. I haven't got that far yet, but, I will let you know how that goes.
If anyone wants the link, just ask me.

I'm a member of so many survey sites it's ridiculous. But the ones that seem to give me the most surveys are Zoom Points, Survey Spot (which I don't like cause I never qualify for anything) and American Consumer Pannel. I'm also in NFO Surveys and a few others. I like your2cents, but they don't give too many surveys. However, I'mI've become very disolusioned with some of these because the surveys are getting more visual. They'll ask you to look at the items in the picture and answer questions on it or ask you which item you find more appealing. I haven't done my surveys in a few months because of this, though I guess I should start again. As for the sites like Inbox Dollars, I'm just lazy. But they do pay and are definitely worth a look.
