YOU get paid for surveys, NOT the other way around!

I see so many questions about survey companies on message forums I visit. Inevitably, there's always a handful of people asking whether those companies or individuals advertising to give you their survey companies for a fee (but you're guaranteed to get the good surveys!) is really legit. Whether they are or not isn't the issue. The issue is: YOU SHOULD NEVER PAY TO GET THAT LIST OF SURVEYS! There are so many FREE sources out there with the good survey companies listed. I have a whole page on my site dedicated to survey companies that pay you, with tips on how to get the most surveys out of them and whether or not taking surveys would be worth it for you, as well as survey review sites. (I have a link for that at the end.)

Here's a list of survey companies that I belong to, that I've checked out and they are legit. I have been a member of some of them for years. Some pay you cash, some pay you points that you trade for cash and/or great prizes. And one gives you a list of the top 25 survey sites, as well as gets you other surveys. Some of their top 25 are listed in my list below (you have to sign up for each one individually -- they don't do it for you). I'm working on joining more survey companies as my time permits, and I'm a member of a couple more that I don't have listed here because I do them through the mail and/or phone and not online.

My Points

Now, I'm also a member of the WONDERFUL Pinecone Research which gives you a $5 check for each survey you complete. But you have to find a link that leads to their membership application page in order to apply with them. In order to not break any pinecone agreements I may have, I don't give a link out. But I do give a hint on my survey page. For the review sites, tips, whether it's worth it to you and more, visit that page here: http://sahmsnwahms.com/subpage9.html.

And whatever you do, don't pay anyone for a list of survey companies!
