If you are looking for ways to make a little extra money or get some freebies, you can sign up for some survey companies. One idea is to save it all in a separate account and use it for Christmas or a vacation. Popular legitimate sites are listed below. I know someone who has used each of them.
These are a few tips before you sign up:
- NEVER pay to join a survey company!
- Use a separate email account to keep track of offers.
- Most companies are market research companies. They want to know what you buy and how you spend your money.
Toluna: This is a great place to earn, but also to sample free products!
Panda Research: You can earn up to $50 per survey (when VERY involved).
MySurvey: MySurvey.com is a group of consumers from throughout the United States who influence future products and services by volunteering to participate in consumer research. By sharing your opinions about products and services, you are rewarded with Reward Points to redeem for cash and merchandise.
Neilsen National Consumer Pannel: You are sent a personal scanner to use to record the purchases that you make. Earn points to redeem for prizes. This one only accepts so many people from each zip code, so you might have to try a few times.
Opinion Outpost: Opinion Outpost conducts surveys because businesses, governments, public bodies, and similar organizations are interested in the views and attitudes of the people who use their products and services.(I have not tried this one)
Quick Rewards: This one is popular, but I have not tried it yet. Founded in 2002, QuickRewards.net is a rewards program like no other.

I have a couple of other favorites, but just wanted to ditto that Opinion Outpost is great! I have used them for a couple of years and made the most money off of them.

I love Swagbucks… Since Black Friday I’ve already earned enough points to redeem $200 in giftcards (paypal included). And I only do swagbucks during the work week. I let it run in the background on my phone. When I have a moment or two free I do surveys. The points add up! I started mid last year and had a little over $300 to go towards Christmas. This year my goal is to earn $600. $300 to use towards Christmas gifts and $300 I plan to redeem through paypal gift cards to go towards a family vacation.
And referrals help you earn more since you earn 10% on all referrals. Give it a try.
