Legitimate Survey Panels
I've recently start doing surveys, Does anyone ever win the lotteries that they sign you up for?
A lot of these survey panels instead of rewarding you with cash (which I'd prefer) will place you in sweepstakes or lotteries. I'm wondering if you did win 'How would you know it was for real? Since I started receiving surveys I also have started to getting spam from so called lotto winnings. They come from Africa, UK, all over with claims of lots of money. We always told not to pay any attention to them. But what about those of us that take surveys all day and enter these so called legitimate lotteries affiliated with the surveys. Wouldn't they be notifing you by email. How do you know it's real when so many are scams?
There are several sites that pay. Usually if you do not qualify for the survey you get an entry into a sweepstake. I have never won one of those, but I have gotten paid for the surveys I do complete. I made a new email address for my survey experiences and have not been getting any additional spam. Do not give anyone your SSN there are lots of sites out there that are legit and they do not need this info from you. Nor do you have to pay to join. I am a member of several.
The one I have had the most luck with is Lightspeed. They do not pay you cash you get points which can be converted into cash via pay pal. However, they send me the most surveys. And already twice now I have been asked to participate in a more extensive survey in which I was sent a palm pilot in the mail and asked to record certain daily activities. The ones I have completed offered a $50 incentive and that was in the form of a check in addition to the points I received for completing the initial survey. I have also done survey savy which has a great referral program if you know people who will join you get money for surveys they complete. I have also tried American Consumer Opinion. They pay by check in mail for all surveys, but I have not been able to complete many of their surveys. I did a lot of research before joining these three. You also need to be a regular email checker because if you don't respond to the survey fast enough they have met their quota.
