OPINION PLACE & Survey Spree

[Heath]

Survey Spree (http://www.surveyspree.com/) was a survey site with which I wasn't familiar, but I'm glad I found it! Sign up is easy and free to join. You are given a “get to know you” survey which is quick and painless. You are entered into a $1000 sweepstakes entry for joining. From there you have to wait for them to send you survey invitations by email. I joined about a month ago, and I’ve gotten 2 paying surveys. The first, a food and beverage survey, which paid $2.50 and the other, a financial survey, which paid $2. Payment is by Paypal and only takes a couple of weeks to show up in your account. There is no minimum payment amount. Here is an excerpt from the website:

“On occasion, you may be invited to earn an extra award where you could get anywhere from a $1.00 to $5.00 PayPal credit, if you qualify for and complete a SurveySpree survey. PLUS, you will still earn entry for a chance to win $1,000 every time you complete a survey. You will always be told in advance about the credit award offered for each survey. ”

I guess I’ve been lucky to have gotten 2 paid survey invitations! You’ll always be entered into the sweepstakes, but this, like many other sites, is where, if you are patient, you’ll get cash for your time as well!

The only drawback that I can see is there is no area where you can check which surveys are available or which ones you have completed. It’s by email only but I guess this shouldn’t really be an issue if they credit your Paypal account as promised. If you have a problem, there is a place to click for “survey problems” and also customer service issues.

Might as well give this one a try!
If anything happens that makes me change my mind, I’ll let you know!

[maplaver]

I like them but I've only made $2 with them!!!

[eddieMX07]

I have already completed one paid survey with them and it was a 10 minute $2 survey. I got my Paypal payment several weeks ago. It took them less than one week to add my reward to my account.

[eddieMX07]

I haven't received that many survey invites from Survey Spree, but I did qualify for one of their paid surveys. That is enough for me to called them a legitimate survey panel. It does start out slow but they eventually start sending you more surveys as you qualify and complete surveys.

I agree. SURVEY SPREE is a legit survey panel... but it's slow :mad:

[eddieMX07]

Today I received a survey that paid $1 and was about 10 minutes long. This is my second paid survey from with Survey Spree. Hopefully this will lead to more paid survey opportunities.

[eddieMX07]

I have no idea why this website have not be added here, but since I'm taking one of their surveys right now then I will add this thread. Opinion Place is a legitimate survey panel to make some money. They offer Pay Pal cash and others prizes listed below:

You have the option of choosing PayPal credits, AAdvantage miles, an entry into our monthly $1000 sweepstakes, or if you pay for AOL, we can put your reward on the credit card you provided AOL.

Here is more information about their surveys

About Online Surveys
Opinion Place® gives you a chance to express your opinions, get rewards, and help shape products and services you use everyday.
Companies want your opinions so they can make the best products and services. By providing truthful and accurate information in our online surveys, you help these companies build the products and services that are right for you. As a bonus, you get FREE rewards as a "thank you" for your time.

Here's how it works...
Start by answering a few general questions about you and your household for possible survey assignment. Opinion Place surveys are randomly assigned based upon the general questions you answer.
If you qualify for a survey, we’ll let you know the subject, survey length, and the reward amount you will receive for completing the survey.
Unlike other survey sites, you DO NOT need to agree to receive emails. Try taking a survey right now! You are able to control if you want special invite emails to take surveys.
Surveys are conducted on behalf of reputable businesses who are solely interested in your opinions. You will not receive marketing materials or be asked to buy anything as a result of participating in Opinion Place surveys.
Surveys will ask you about particular products or services you may or may not use. Companies make important business decisions using your advice, so please answer each question as completely and as thoughtfully as possible. Many surveys take as little as 10-15 minutes but the longer the survey, the greater the reward. Opinion Place allows you to take a survey every 14 days.

Opinion Place keeps your information completely confidential - companies only want your anonymous opinions. We don't charge membership fees or sell your personal information. Our clients are only interested in looking at the information from all participants combined; they will not look at your individual responses.


Since most people will always choose PayPal, this panel has been added to "Survey Sites that pay cash".

Opinion Place (https://www.opinionplace.com/main.adp) is owned by DMS: The Suite Solution (http://www.dms-research.com/index2.html), which also owns SurveySpree (http://www.dms-research.com/surveyspree.html), Tu Opinion Latina (http://www.dms-research.com/hispanic.html) and the B2B Insights Forum (http://www.dms-research.com/B2B.html).

Opinion Place (http://www.dms-research.com/opinionplace2.html)

RDD for the Internet
Our “RDD-like” approach to drawing sample through consistent, broad-based online promotions engages respondents who would not otherwise participate in online research. This continuous river of fresh respondents enables sampling of general online users, not just those invested in research (i.e., only those willing to register for an online panel). Site demographics are broad-sweeping, and ideal for both consumer and business markets. Our sample is drawn from sites visited by 79% of household Internet users in the U.S.

Opinion Place Traffic is Broadly Sourced
Exposure to 114 million unique visitors from a wide variety of websites including: AIM, AOL.com, Netscape, Moviefone, Mapquest, ICQ and many Time Warner media sites ensures the broadest representation possible.

Opinion Place Controls are Best in Class
While the source of respondents is important, sample management is just as critical. Unlike many panels or lists, access to Opinion Place is limited, eliminating the effects of professional (and repeatedly surveyed) respondents.

• Site Lockout if no survey taken: 7 Days
• Site Lockout if survey taken: 14 Days
• Research Category Lockout: 90 Days (customizable)
• Study Lockout: Can never take the same survey twice (especially important for trackers)

Unparalleled Purity
Opinion Place produces the highest quality sample through its unique sampling method and strict access controls. The results of this unrivaled "freshness" are:

• On a monthly basis, approximately HALF of all OP respondents are new to the area.

• The area is continually promoted, and provides fresh sample unseen in panels and purportedly similar river methods.

• 70% of visitors have been to Opinion Place only once in 6 months.

• 3 out of 5 respondents report they don’t participate in other online surveys.

• 85% or higher completion rates deliver the highest quality data

• Quality is achieved by minimizing non-response bias and maximizing completion within your sampling frame.

Opinon Place is a good legitimate panel where I have qualified for one of their surveys by loging in. I did not get a chance to complete this survey but my Yahoo Browser closed on me but this survey was good for something. After that, I received two specail email survey invites for the first time. I qualified for one that paid $2 or $3. I'm wondering, how long does it take them to send a reward?

[maplaver]

Congrats Lee on that interactive survey...

It takes about 1-3 weeks... I received $4.25 from them today :p

[jash18]

I don't remember getting even a single survey from Opinion place to date, maybe i should check and see if my account is still active.

[maplaver]

You HAVE to log in every 7 days if you qualify for a survey or every 3 days if you don't. The only send SPECIAL SURVEY INVITATION by email and these don't appear in the website and the days don't matter!

[tidyclean]

Wow Opinion Place is So Cool !! :p I just read about this site and I signed up and was able to take my 1st Survey and I made $2.25. Thanks Everyone for posting this site. :) Now, I just have to wait another 7 days for my Next try at a survey...

[eddieMX07]

Tomorrow I will participate in an Invoke interactive session that will start at 6 PM and will last about 75 minutes. I will receive $25 from Opinion Place after completeing this survey. Hopefully I will have not problems while taking the survey.

Let's Us know how it turns out for you. Hope I get one of those too some day !! ;) I really like that site - have been joined up only (3) weeks now but I also qualified for (3) surveys and last week I got my first payout from paypal.

Yes that is the Correct Survey Link - Just Click on Take An Online Survey and then you can take your survey. As stated in the info when you signed up you can take a survey once a week if you Qualified for a survey - and if you didn't you can take a survey in (3) days. This is the CATCH - you have to Log-in to get those surveys. They will only send you special surveys that they would have for you.

When I'm done taking a survey I write the date and time on my Calendar so I don't forget for next week to Try for my Next Survey. Slick as can be and it takes about (2) weeks to get you paypal payout... :)

I just did that and although I have NEVER taken a survey with Opinion Place and have only logged in about three times since I joined, I received this message:

Our records show you've been to Opinion Place in the past 7 days. You may visit us again after August 21, 2008 01:57 AM EST.

[tidyclean]

Your So SMART Maplaver - That's a Great Idea, I never thought of that. Thanks for the Info - I'm going to do that too !! ;)

Wow - Maybe it's because they count you also just logging in. Just make sure next time to not log in until after that date you have shown us and then click on the Take An Online Survey and then keep track from there when it tells you to come back again. I never log in until the next date that they tell me to - then at that time I take my next survey. :rolleyes:

Apparently they do. I logged in on July 21 when I first joined after Eddie's recommendation, then I logged in again sometime last week to try and take a survey, but it said that I didn't have any that time. I will try again on August 21 after 1:57am.

[eddieMX07]

Well this is what I was told after I logged in to the interactive sesision I was invated to

Thank you for coming to this research session. Unfortunately, the session is full at this time.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you will have the opportunity to be part of an Invoke Solutions research session in the near future.

- The Invoke Team

I clicked on the email link at exactly 5:45 but I was still told that I didn't get there fast enough. Oh well!! :cool:

[eddieMX07]

Oh no... that really sucks Eddie :(

Yeah it does but I'm not going to let this bring me down because there will be plenty of paid survey opportunities in the future including Invoke session. By the way I still have about 10 survey invites to attend so it's not a total loss. In about a week I will be taking less surveys because my priorities will chance. Anywho, I will log in 20 minutes for future Invoke Session that I'm invited to.

[tidyclean]

That last Invoke that I did I was able to Log-In 1/2 hr before the stated time and I will also try to Log-In at Least that amount of time to try to make sure I get in...

Eddie, I always click on the email invitations 30 minutes early and then wait for the screen to change. Sorry about that.

Who are ALL these survey invites through - are they Invokes ??

Why are your priorities changing - what are you going to be doing instead :confused:

[maplaver]

Eddie, I always click on the email invitations 30 minutes early and then wait for the screen to change. Sorry about that.

Ditto... I too log in 30 min. before for interactive surveys!

[eddieMX07]

Eddie, I always click on the email invitations 30 minutes early and then wait for the screen to change. Sorry about that.

Yeah your right. For now on, I will always log in 30 minutes before the session starts. I was my fault that I was unable to participate in this session because I didn't give this interactive session all my attention. But this experience is another well learned lesson about the wild and crazy world of market research.

[eddieMX07]

Today I logged in to Survey Spree and I was surprised to see three surveys that were clickable. I clicked on the first survey and I was redirects to survey that paid $30. It said that this survey had two parts and if I qualified and completed both parts I would receive a $30 incentive. Unfortunately I was disqualified before I could complete the first part.

I had no idea that there were paid surveys on the Survey Spree website. I think this is really good since I haven't received an email invite since early August. I recommend members of Survey Spree to log in to their accounts and if they surveys waiting for them.

Yes - that has also happened to me !! I also had a $30 survey but I also didn't qualify. Every since that I also log in at least once a day. I usually go down my Favorites list and log into the ones that I now know might have surveys Available & Waiting !! :)

I will receive a total of $6.50 for participating in this two part study. and this is the first product test I have participating with Opinion Place.
