My Top Recommendations

There are two types of sites on this list….. the first are sites that have surveys, but also pay you for a bunch of other internet activities, such as searching, watching videos, playing games, reading emails, viewing ads, signing up for newsletters, etc.  There is always something to do to make money, which means that those sites are generally a little busier and flashier, with more going on.  If that’s not your thing, the second list contains straight survey sites, that just send out emails when there’s a new survey available.

By the way, all of these are 100% free to join.  (Never sign up for one that isn’t)

Here’s the list!

Swagbucks  – I looooove Swagbucks!  I cash in my points for a $5 Amazon gift card every few days.  You can cash out with even less if you want.  You can get points for surveys, searching, viewing ads, viewing videos, playing games, signing up for offers, shopping… and they also give you daily codes for extra points just because!  And if you meet your daily goal, you get bonus points.  Plus, the more days in a row you meet your goal, the more bonus points you get.  Love, love, love it.

Inbox Dollars  –  Like Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars rewards you for a whole bunch of different things.  They give you a few cents (which sounds silly, but adds up quickly) just for confirming that you opened their emails.   And you get $5.00 just for signing up!  With Inbox Dollars, you can cash out once you’ve reached $30.

Send Earnings  – Send Earnings is set up exactly like Inbox Dollars, including the $5.00 bonus for signing up, and the $30 minimum for cashing out.

Fusion Cash – Get $5.00 just for signing up, then take surveys, click ads, play games, view videos.  Lots of ways to earn!

Cash Crate  – When you go to the Cash Crate site, you can go through nice organized lists of everything they currently have to offer, from surveys, to offers, to shopping, to bonuses.   You can request a check once you’ve reached $20.

Treasure Trooper  – Like the others, Treasure Troopers pays for a whole bunch of different activities like surveys, games, completing offers, etc.  They give you $1 free just to sign up, and you can cash out at $20.  The whole site is built around a treasure/pirate theme, which you may find fun or you may find totally annoying, but it’s easy to rack up money quickly if you visit them daily.

Quick Rewards  – Another favorite, Quick Rewards does what its name promises, and allows you to earn money quickly in a variety of ways.  One of the cool things about them is that there is no minimum to cash out.  If you’ve earned $2, and you want it… you can get it. One caveat to Quick Rewards is that they send a LOT of emails, so definitely make sure you’ve set something up so they don’t clutter your inbox.

Earning Station – I am still new to Earning Station, but they’ve been great so far.  You earn points called Station Dollars, and you are able to redeem them (for a variety of gift cards) once you reach 1000 SD ($10)

Moola Days – I am still pretty new to Moola Days too, but I’ve already earned a few dollars. They have new surveys every day, as well as other ways to earn money.  You can cash out once you’ve reached $15.

Only Cash Surveys – I am a big fan of all the sites that pay you just to sign up!  Only Cash Surveys starts you off with $5.00, and you can cash out once you’ve reached $25.  They have a lovely, simple site, and a clear list of available surveys along with their length and payment amount.

Paid To Read Email – Make money daily through surveys, and (as the name suggests) reading emails.

Prize Rebel – Prize Rebel offers daily surveys plus a whole bunch of other ways to earn money, and you can get a payment through Paypal at the low threshold of $5.00

Slice The Pie – Slice the Pie isn’t really a survey site, but it’s a pretty cool and fun way to earn some money, so I wanted to include it to.  Basically they pay you to listen to music tracks and write a review, as well as reviews of clothing, accessories, and more.

———-

These are the more straight-survey sites:

My Soapbox – My Soapbox is still a relatively new site, but it has been great to me so far. It’s also the first site I’ve been involved with that sent me a $100+ study!  They award you with points (you get 2000 when you sign up), and you can cash out for the first time after you’ve received 25,000 ($25.00) After your first cash-out, there is no minimum, and you can cash out any time.

Toluna – I’m still pretty new to Toluna too, but it looks to be a great site, and I’ve already earned several hundred points.  You can cash in your points for either gift cards (to a variety of places), or use them to enter drawings and sweepstakes.

Panel Place – Panel Place is a nice, clean-looking, easy to understand site.  They reward you in points, which you can then cash in for a Paypal payment.

Clear Voice Surveys – I love Clear Voice.  I seem to qualify for surveys with them more often than some of the others, and even when you don’t qualify, they still give you a little bit of money just for trying.   You can cash out once you’ve hit $10 (which you can do pretty quickly), and you can choose between a pre-paid Mastercard debit card, an Amazon gift card, or a restaurant gift card.

Ipsos I-Say – I-Say is a nice site that rewards you with points that you can redeem for things like Starbucks cards, Amazon cards, and restaurant cards.  One cool thing about them is that you can also choose to have your points go towards a charity!

Survey Savvy – Super clean and simple site.  They will email you an invitation when they have a survey available.  They pay by check, and you can request a check for as little as $1.

My Survey – The cool thing about My Survey, which rewards with you with both points and sweepstakes entries, is that it gives you a TON of options on how you’d like to redeem your earnings.  You can cash them in for products, gift cards, e-certificates, vouchers, and cash.

Opinion World – Like My Survey, you can redeem the points you’ve earned by taking surveys for a whole bunch of different things, from gift cards, to vouchers, to cash paid through Paypal.  Another nice feature is that you can adjust the frequency of which you get their emails.

Say Bucks – Say Bucks pays between $2 and $10 per survey, and you can cash out through Paypal.  One nice thing about Say Bucks is that if you don’t qualify for a particular survey, it lets you keep trying until it finds you one that’s a match.

Paid Viewpoint – Paid Viewpoint is another nice, simple site that will email you when they have surveys available.  They give you $1.00 just for signing up.  One huge plus is that with Paid Viewpoint, you never get “screened out” of a survey.  Once you’ve started a survey, you’ll be able to complete it, and get paid.

Vindale Research – I love Vindale.  It’s just a nice, classy site, and as soon as you sign up you have an opportunity to earn $4 just by filling out your profile and taking the welcome survey.

Opinion-Central – Opinion Central rewards you points that you can then cash in for a variety of different items… from flash drives to calculators to cappucino machines and iPods.

Mindfield Online – Mindfield is another nice, simple site that emails you when it has surveys available, and then pays through cash.  You can cash out once you’ve reached a minimum of $5, and you can receive your money either by check or through Paypal.
And finally, these are a few that I only recently signed up with, so I don’t know much about them yet.  But they look promising, so I wanted to include them too!  :)
