I was wondering if any users have had luck making extra money taking surveys online. Some sites are a hoax, but if anybody is interested I can tell them some legit sites where you can make money or get pretty cool free stuff. Not all sites depend on only surveys to make money. Some sites give you points for simply answering emails, shopping at certain stores and even using their site to search for stuff. I've made bank doing this getting everything from gift cards, money in my paypal and even getting physical checks in the mail. If you're interested, let me know an I'll hook you up.

Right, I got that much, but are we talking about 100 dollars a year, a month,
a day?

I've gotten about $25 in paypal 3 times this year and several gift cards. the sites I use you can get gift cards to just about anywhere you could want and I've gotten 3 $27 physical checks in a year. it's a comvienant way to earn extra cash

Sounds like a lot of trouble for very little money.

I did this for a while several years ago. I never found it to be all that profitable. Plus, the amount of junk mail, both electronic and paper, was enough to drive me out of my tree. lol
I wish you the best of luck though.

I tried this and found them not letting me finish the servay, it would never let me complete it, not accessible or something.

There are definitely hitches to this. Surveys with good rewards that don't involve too much time and complication are hard to find and doing the surveys and finding them is very time consuming, a job within itself.
There are also a lot of inaccessible surveys and even more where you don't qualify because you are in the wrong demographic, you don't have the right income, aren't the right age, sex, have used the wrong shampoo in the past thirty days, etc.
All that being said, when I was in a very tight financial situation, I had a few instances where I did surveys and got a decent return for the money and a $25 gift card for Walmart or Target etc meant I could buy someone a gift I couldn't afford or maybe I could go buy the better brand of shampoo or lotion or coffee and, man, that was a treat at the time.
Oh, I also found that a lot of those surveys required watching videos and then answering questions about said videos. yeah, that didn't work so well for me.
Overall, I found the returns were few and the time/frustration levels high.
