Points for Cash Survey Sites
Top Cash Paying Survey Sites May 21st, 2008Yesterday I compiled the list of survey sites that pay cash. This list is also one of cash paying survey sites, but you earn points for each completed survey which are redeemable for cash. It’s all cash in the end, but a little more complicated because the point value varies from site to site. I’m adding another subcategory to this as well, which will include those survey sites that pay cash in some cases and sweepstakes in others. These sites clearly state upfront how you will be paid.
Points for cash Sites
1) Opinion Outpost:points for cash by check or Paypal.
2) Directive Analytics: points for cash (check)
3) My View: points for cash
4) Harris Poll Online: points for cash (Paypal)
5) Lightspeed: points for cash by Paypal
6) Global Test Market: points for cash
Points for cash or sweepstakes
7) SurveySpot: cash and sweepstakes (cash surveys are numerous)
8- Greenfield Online: cash or sweepstakes
9) Your2Cents: sweepstakes or cash
10) Survey Spree: cash or sweepstakes by Paypal
11) Synovate: Points for cash or sweepstakes
12) NFO/MySurvey: points for cash, sweepstakes
13) Ipsos-i-Say: cash, sweepstakes
14) African American Voice: points for cash
As always, this list can be tweaked according to your feedback. I haven’t added sites that are in my “pending review” list. I’ll add them as I review them. The category for tomorrow will be “points for gift cards and merchandise”.

HCD is technically a points for cash site since one point = $1. Global Opinion is also a points for cash site since 5000 points = $5. ClickIQ/e/visor is also a points for cash site, but it is not clear what the conversion rate is, only that you need 2500 points to cash out. Keynote ONLY pays in Amazon gift cards. E-Poll is a points for giftcards and other prizes site.

I am sure you realize that the link for MyView under the review of that site does not work as they are only accepting new members by invitation only.

No, it is a working link. When you click on it, it takes you to a box for Postmaster Direct, who issues the invitation and signs you up with MyView. You won’t get confirmation, you’ll just start receiving survey invitations from MyView. I signed up that way and have gotten surveys from them ever since. It has to be listed as Postmaster Direct/MyView on our site.

HEATH,
OpinionOutpost DOESN’T pay with PAYPAL.
“You must have a minimum of 50 Opinion Points to redeem them. Please allow 4-8 weeks for Opinion Point check processing and delivery.”

Heath, the link asks me to sign up with Yesfree.com, which takes me to TikTik Cash. Here is the message before I clicked on the sign up ad that says:
“Please send me emails from Yesfree.com’s partner PostmasterDirect with surveys and offers. For information on how we protect your privacy, read our privacy policy Look for your confirmation email!”
Anyway, I am off to see The Eagles in concert. Chau!

Lee, when you fill in your information on the Postmaster Direct/yesfree box that is the information that goes to Postmaster/myview. Tiktik comes up and is only an offer to join. That’s not part of the sign up at all and it’s only there if you want to participate in TikTik, which I don’t know why anyone would

I think I joined MyView! Yeah, where were you with that advice on TikTik Cash $43 ago? At $0.03 a click it will take me awhile to reach the $100 cash out point. Maybe they will lower their cash out point as Cash4Dollars did from $50 to $25. Hey! It could happen…

Hello Heath,
Certainly! You may post my info, as I’ve had “nightmare experiences” regarding a few Survey Sites, and had no one to inform. There’s no reason other Surveyers’ should be required to tolerate the nonsense. . As I see it, you participate in the Surveys as instructed and you’re “left hanging” – no replies from the Survey Site Owners,..nothing.
Pertaining to Ipsos-I-Say: My husband witnessed my “hair-pulling” and frustration, and saw the phone bill, to boot! ZoomPanel and DataTelligence: No replies from the CSR.
Anytime I have an experience, be it positive or horrendous, I’ll let you know. I’ve been involved in Surveys’ Sites for a minimum of 7 years; most were enjoyable experiences, I must say.
I keep a “register” of the Sites: the dates and subjects of Surveys; the form[s] of payment[s] and when they’re expected to be paid; etc. You’d never believe I’m an organized person, would you??
Feel free to post away,…..anytime. And thank you for “being a great detective” concerning the Survey Sites. There’s so many!! I’m “pleased as punch” that I discovered your Site!. Please keep up the good work.
Jennifer

re:The Ipsos-I-Say Site: I wanted to be more specific re: why I “pulled my hair” and ranted while being a member of this Survey Site: It was a pleasing experience when I’d become a member,but a new owner must’ve taken the reigns approximately a year ago,& the nightmare began. I redeemed my points & requested the Gift Card.While at the checkout register,the Card was denied! I called the toll-free ph# & left several voice mails;& finally received a reply that a repalcement Card would be furnished;eventually it was! re:The final reward incident: It was necessary to contact the CSR,& the girl, who’d had an attitude,requested my fascimiling the request for review.While conversing she failed to inform me it would be submitted to CANADA [the toll-free ph# & address noted is in New York,so there was no reason to assume CANADA would be of concern]. When I received my phone bill noted was an INTERNATIONAL CHARGE,& I recognized the fascimile#. Whoo! Well,that’s when the ranting began! I spoke to the management [once one was available],who worded the typical excuses,of course. It was impossible to receive the earned reward without going through “the Act of Congress.” Only after contacting the Company who’d sent the actual testing product was I abe to receive the reward – by their Company,nontheless-not from Ipsos-I-Say. I resigned my membership immediately after receiving the well deserved reward.
Word of warning: Should you be a member of this Site,be certain to call the toll-free ph#,only;& should you be required to fascimile information to their office,make certain to ask if they’re in the USA!

Jennifer,
I haven’t had any trouble with them but I don’t like them at all.
They give so few points for such long surveys.
I think after cashing out once, I’ll cancel my account with them.

One of my top paying sites is Opinion Place. I am a long time AOL member and have been with them since the beginning. At first I was waiting the 2 week limit to try and qualify for a survey and didn’t always qualify then had to wait again and when I did qualify I got like a 2 or 3.00 credit on my AOL bill NOW I choose the awesome PayPal option & I frequently have surveys in my inbox from them. I cashed out about 7.00 just a few days ago from 2 surveys. They have changed quite a bit since the beginning. AND I may be wrong but I think the surveys they send me don’t count against the 2 weeks rule either so I might be missing out on survey opportunities:)

I’m sorry there is another Jennifer I didn’t see so I am Jennifer2 to differentiate. I wrote about Opinion Place & was introduced here by Maplaver.

You’re right. The surveys in your email don’t count, those are called “special survey invitations”. You CAN do those and go to the website in the day that you are told to!
