Which one is a keeper?

[LapisLee]

I have been keeping track of paid online surveys for over 20 months and some survey sites are just scams and I have eliminated them from consideration immediately. Others are legitimate, but just don't seem to offer me very many paid opportunities. I am listing several in this category to see which one I should stick with.

NETVERDIX cuz i won 1,200 just by being a member... how awesome is that :p

[eddieMX07]

I voted for Netverdix even though I have not received a survey from them in a while. Winning $50 from them is ways a good sign!

[Wooie]

So funny - your list of surveys that are "on the bubble" - you can't decide whether or not to keep them - is very similar to my list!!! In fact, just today, I got rid of (unsubscribed): American Consumer Opinion, Brand Institute, Buzzback, Focus Forward, GARB Online, and Resonance Research. I haven't heard from most of them at all in the last five months, or NEVER qualify (Buzzback). I voted for Netverdix for the same reason as others: Sweepstakes win! :) I've only qualified for one survey out of three or so total in five months, though.

I voted for ACOP because i do get some very good surveys from them even though i only get 1-2 surveys a month.

[vwilliams55]

I did not even think Netverdix had real sweepstakes, but you folks proved me wrong. I don't get anything from them. Last year I got two Amazon cards from clearvoice and this year I received one.

[earldukeof]

I would definitely keep AOC, they have slowed recently but still are in my top 10.
These sites jst are not worth my effort, although I did manage $5 from Harris Poll.
HCD, Harris Poll, OPINION PLACE, HONEST INSIGHT.

If I had to revote I would also vote that Brand Institute, in addition to ACOP, is a keeper, but it's still very hard to qualify for their surveys.

I was ready to give up on Clearvoice, because they sent me only a handful of surveys in 8 months, and I qualified for only a small percentage of what they sent me. Then in Sept they sent me a survey that qualified me for a $225.00 focus group with another market research company.

After that I got more surveys from them, and cashed out three times in 3 months, and that didn't include the high-paying focus group.

That's fantastic! I am also ready to drop them, but I guess they aren't as bothersome as SendEarnings/InboxDollars with their email invitations, so maybe I will hang on a bit longer as well.

I'm registered at Netverdix but have never received a survey from them either. I prefer that to be bombarded with surveys I waste my time because I don't qualify. Hopefully, I will receive a survey from Netverdix and because they prescreen, I will qualify.

Netverdix has been dead in the water for me since I won that $50 contest last year. I will be happy to see them off my Top 25 Surveys list.

If you're a gamer, then stick with e-rewards. You should be able to get anywhere from 3-4 free $25 Gamestop gift cards a year from this site.

I don't play computer games so that eliminates Gamestop cards for being an incentive to me. I stopped e-rewards because everything was a percentgae off something you wanted to purchase. I'm trying not to spend money so I haven't been involved with e-rewards in a couple years. However, e-rewards did help me out with a price reduction when I needed flowers for an out of town funeral.

It is similar but not the same since you do receive gift cards(not % off) on MyPoints. I earned some great gift certificants to store iI like but I was spending too much money. I would go to a specific online store to purchase one specific item, then check out with 5 items! The Lancome offer (if it is still current) was great because you received 2000 points for ordering on line for the first time. I got out of the habit of using MyPoints now when I do shop at a store that I could have received points for, I forget to login through MyPoints.

Is Netverdix the site that looks mostly for health care professionals for their surveys?

I haven't gotten a survey from e-Rewards in over six months.

Sorry to hear that. I've reviewed my e-rewards account, and I've been able to redeem eight $25 Gamestop giftcards since joining in December 2007.

[LapisLee]

I was able to redeem two previously viewed DVDs from Blockbuster, one new DVD from Borders and magazine subscriptions to Blender, Maxim, Food & Wine, Wine Spectator and Car & Driver. I lost my last $5 after the end of the year, when the rewards expired.

[DAMO36]

E-Rewards is great if you like to read magazines. I have redeemed for subscriptions to Maxim and TV Guide with them. I wish they offered better rewards though.

[LapisLee]

I wish they continued to send me surveys.

I belong to only three other sites that give poings. My View is one that I have made money on and gotten things that I can use to try out:D

I just checked. My last survey from e-Rewards was on February 28, 2009.

That's quite a long time, Lee. I get at least 3 survey invites a week from E-Rewards. I have well over $100 in E-Rewards dollars and don't really find any of their rewards attractive enough to redeem for at this time. I did take out a subscription to TV Guide, but i have noticed recently that this is no longer offered. I was reading on another post on here that Valued Opinions will be bought out by E-Rewards or something. Not sure if that will be good or not. It would be great if E-Rewards offered those Amazon gift certificates.

I have contacted customer service at e-Rewards several times concerning not receiving magazine subscriptions and I always mention that I have not received a single survey from them since February and they never address this issue. One problem I have had is that I selected a magazine, Blender, and they sent another one instead, Maxim, because Blender no longer participates in their program. Now, I will be forfeiting my last $5.75 rewards on January 30 because e-Reward Dollars expire at the end of the year and the smallest reward they offer requires $10 in e-Reward Dollars.

Since I have not received survey invitations from e-rewards in over 9 months, I logged on just to make sure my account is active. I found that I am still an active panel member so I "refreshed" my personal profile (i.e. annual salary). I haven't had any real changes (i.e. single to married) but I thought by logging in it might in some way re-activate my account. Unfortunately, I still haven't received any survey invitations from them. It could be because I stopped doing their surveys because they weren't worth the rewards. However, since I stopped purchasing magazine subscriptions, I am now interested in a website that offers subscriptions.

That sounds more like Brand Institute and I think FocusForward looks for people that smoke or chew tobacco.

I've never seen anything about gamestop gift cards on e-rewards.
