These three survey panels are all similar in that they have surveys that are reasonably easy to qualify for, rewards are earned quickly, and are redeemable for cash.
- Global Opinion Panels. Their surveys are easy, arrive frequently, and are fun to do. I have even received products to test from them. In fact...now that I think of it, some of the products that I talked about in my post about nfoMySurvey may have actually come from Global Opinion Panels! Points are redeemable for good old cash, $1 for every 1,000 points. Points add up quickly; in the past month I've earned more than 5,000 points.
- Global Test Market. One thing I like about them is that their points are really worth a lot. The first time I cashed in points from them, I had 1,203 points and just about fell over when the check was for $60.15 (5 cents per point). You can cash in your points once you reach 1,000. Another thing I like about them is if you don't qualify for the first survey that they invite you to, they will ask if you want to try for another.
- LightSpeed Consumer Panel. Similar to the others, except for the fact that they offer their rewards in PayPal, which shows up really quickly in my PayPal account. 1,150 points for $10 in PayPal. Points add up fast; I earned 1,200 points in the last month.
Again, like I said in previous posts, there's no way doing surveys will replace your day job, but it is nice to have some sources of disposable income.
