My Guide To Paid Survey Sites

siren13577

Don't do it, there are plenty of sites you can get regularly surveys from and for free, it's a rip off. If you want to make some more money try mystery shopping, it's very easy and again there's no up front fees. Steer clear and try some of the survey links on the first page. Also search for mystery shop,

retaileyes.com
retail-maxim,
baidata.com
gfk do mystery shopping as well.

HTH and good luck

Siren, just a quick question re the mystery shopping agencies. Are you a member of any of them? I once registered with retaileyes and I can't stand them: proper waste of time. Retail-Maxim sound quite nice, what kind of places do they shop? And Baidata, is that a good one? It seems very American on the login page etc, not too sure about it. If you or anyone are registered with either of them and have some feedback, let me know. Thanks in advance.

retaileyes: great, they release jobs in batches though so you have to check regularly. I enjoy diong the subway and pharmacies with them
retail maxim- will probably give you about one job/year

Baidata- have never been accepted for... they do stuff like money transfers, bmi baby, and loads of other stuff. payment is in euros so also depends on the rate...

Yes, I am, retaileyes, retail-maxim, Baidata and GFK as well as some others, I need to look up in my links. Retail maxim haven't had a job for me for ages, retail eyes you have to be quick and log in a few times a day to see if there's jobs for you. Baidata are American and pay you in euros and seem to have a difficulty in understanding where you live, not too frustrating, more funny because they seem to think I live in Scotland when I live in Merseyside.
Retail maxim do johnsons cleaners, sayers, poundstretcher, photo shops etc, retail eyes pubs, airports and the like, you don't get paid a lot, it's mostly worth doing pub visits as it's essentially a free meal.

I get more with online surveys such as valued opinions, test and vote, yougov (these last two take a bit longer) globaltestmarket, trendscan, and some others,

Thanks

Cheers love. I have just joined up with Retail Maxim, they sent me an email asking me for a photo. I think I'm famous NOT! LOL. Do you know what the web address for GFK is? I can't seem to find it.

Oh and it's a shame you have had problems with Grassroots. I think they are cool. I have had lots of assignments off them in the last year. I have been to every bank there is, and it has been fun. Not liking the new online system much, can't seem to find anything on there.

mimi1234

Oooooh, Grasroots put on all their ASDA and VODAFONE assignments today. I happened to miss out on all of them. Oh the joy.

Check your areas today people.

Can people stop mentioning the client names. It is not permissible. If you are unsure about the do's and not's refer back to your T&C which you signed up to upon joining said Company.

Ooops, sorry, I shall not do it again.

Hello everyone,
Shame I couldn't put referral links on! lol! :beer:

Phew! you must have rsi by the time you finished that one! Fascinating post though. Any clues as to how much time each day/week you need to spend in order to rack up decent points/cash?

Anyone else got any positive or negative thoughts on these sites?

Do they stream candidates based on demographic or economic variables?

Ta!

i've got a query.about 2 mths ago i did an online survey on mobile fones which was followed up with a half hour fone call questionaire.for my help i was to be sent a gift voucher ( not sure if it was £5 or £10).i didn't make a note of which online survey company it was ( i do SO many) and i've never received a voucher.i just wondered if somebody out there remembers doing the same survey and what was the name of the company cos i'm gonna chase it up.
