So I signed up for survey spot again to give them another chance and had to make it through days of unpaid surveys. I was offered my first paid survey on Friday -$3. I took the ENTIRE survey and was then told at the end that I didn't qualify. Evil or Very Mad
Today I received an offer for a $30 survey with a $25 follow-up. As soon as I entered my location, I of course, was informed that I did not qualify. Evil or Very Mad
Evil or Very Mad

I'm not sure if I should just hang in there cause all I'm getting from other survey sites is 30 cents a day plus MAYBE .50 on the new Inbox Dollars/Send Earnings which now sucks.
My rewards from Opinion Outpost and your2cents have been pending -NOT SENT for over a month. I received 3 dollars from Pinecone in one month.
What great sites am I missing??

Honestly I have been pretty happy with Survey Spot for the most part. I have two $5 checks I need to cash from them at this time. I feel I am getting fewer paid surveys, but I AM still getting them and they have always paid me.

If you took the entire survey, write to them and tell them that. They might credit you with the $3 anyway. The one time I had an issue with them they did respond and credit me promptly.

Inbox Dollars sucks big time (I wish I'd never signed up with them but I am determined to get my money in the end!). MySurvey is really reliable; you can accumulate points to redeem for prizes or cash. I am very pleased with them. Lightspeed Panel is ok - I have redeemed a lot of $5 Amazon GC's from them, but their worst attribute is that they never - I mean NEVER - respond to emails. So if you have a problem, that will be an issue. I've had pretty good results from Opinion Outpost & great results from Pinecone. HotSpex seems pretty reliable but I have yet to be able to redeem any prizes from them after being a member for months.

Good luck!

That sounds like a technical problem. I've never been through a whole survey only to say I didn't qualify.

Opinion Outpost and Your 2 Cents have horrible payout times. I think they send checks only once a month so if you miss the cutoff (which is never mentioned) then it can take over a month. I think it's ridiculous, but that's how they do it.

I just wish everyone did Paypal. Then I could just transfer it to my bank account. Just seems stupid in this high-tech, fast-paced world that we have to wait weeks for anything. Alas...

Survey Spot is pretty decent - I think you might have to do those non-paying ones to increase your chances to getting paying ones later. I know when I first started there, I did just about anything that came across, then I started getting paying ones, although still not a LOT, but more than just a few.

Pinecone is generally good. I think it has some 'lull' periods or maybe that's just "bad luck" (i.e. just not getting randomly assigned) I've certainly made more than $3 in a month with them.

I'm higher on Lightspeed than some, though I've never really had any problem with them. I just hate some of their survey setups, and the lengths can be annoying sometimes. I've gotten a good amount of Amazon and Paypal redemptions with Lightspeed.

Basically, I'd sign up with any respectable company you find (use this site!) and that will pay/allow members of your country to participate (i.e. if you're in the US - most UK-based companies can't handle foreign members and vice versa).
