Online surveys - scam or not?

Options
I have been reading testimonials from people using an online survey site with interest



However, I am reluctant to pay the registration fee to find out if it's scam or genuine.

Has anyone else got experience of paid onlline surveys?

Thanks in advance

    Yes - and I've never paid a fee to join them!

    If you want to do surveys, try google or search this site, and you can find companies to apply to for free.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hi
    The ones you pay for, as far as I can remember, just give you a long list of survey companies to send your details to.
    As Becles says, just find them yourself for free :D

    i have been doing online surveys for a few months and have never paid a fee.
    I get paid in cheques, vouchers and points systems.

    as Becles says try a search to find ones that are free to join
    paying a fee sounds like a scam to me

    Enjoy surveying!

    I have been doing surveys for well over a year - I have never received anything. One of them (cant remember which one) you have to total £25 before they send a cheque and I still haven't got there yet?

    I have done them for about 2 years now and had about 6 cinema vouchers and roughly 10 high street vouchers, and 120.00 cash via paypal (although this was made up of a 50.00 survey which still to this day i dont know how i got through it and answered the questions as it was a medical one.....LOL) To be honest you will never MAKE money from them just a bit of fun if you do have 15 mins free to sit and answer a load of questions to earn 80p. You need to do them on a regular basis or they dont send them, hense lots of work for little but is fun!!

    I use Ciao and have been paid about £10 for two years, I hate it when they send you questionnaires that aren't relevant to you and you answer about 20 quuestions and then they say, 'sorry you are not suitable for this questionnaire.'

    I have been with valued oppinions for about 6 weeks and clocked up £3.50

    Not the best I suppsoe
