Make Money with Surveys: Surveys.com

Here's a weird one for you!

I've been taking surveys with Surveys.com for quite some time, now. I hadn't received any rewards, and for the last month or so I've been getting this weird message after taking surveys.

Curious as to my rewards status, I typed in surveys.com into the search bar, and- voila- I get the same page!

So, while this website is happily sending me surveys, which of course have no technical issues to complete, I have no access to the website, contact information, or rewards.

Surely I am not the only one? What are your experiences with this survey website?

Make Money With Surveys: Harris Poll Online

I've been a member of Harris Poll Online for quite some time, but only recently really began hitting the survey opportunities hard. Here's my experience, please comment what yours has been!

Harris Poll Online Review: The Good

I've really been surprised at how many survey opportunities I see popping up in my inbox on a daily basis. There haven't been any technical issues at all, and surveys are clear, concise, and not of a ridiculous length.

There is a wide selection of ways to redeem reward points, including magazine subscriptions, sweepstakes entries, and Amazon vouchers.

Harris Poll Online Review: The Bad

There is no referral program for Harris Poll Online, so referring any friends is done completely out of the goodness (or not-so-goodness) of your heart. I seem to "test" out of the majority of surveys, which seems to be the bulk of my time spend on this survey site. There is no compensation for this time.

Today I made 45 points in exchange for perhaps 30-45 minutes of my time. Using the Amazon gift code as a basis for calculations, it comes out to about 0.008 cents per point. So, I made 36 cent for a minimum of 30 minutes of my time. Ouch.

Pure Profile Review

I've use Pure Profile both on my iPhone and on my laptop, and as of today my balance is at 15 cents despite completing the entire profile and 7 "campaigns"...

The Good: 

Pure Profile rewards users with cash deposits directly into Paypal Surveys are quick and simple.

This is accessible via both an iPhone app and your web browser, and there is a $2 reimbursement per e-mail referral that completes two campaigns within the first month of membership.

The Bad: 

The time required to complete a full profile seems disproportionate to the number of accessible surveys. Redemption must be made via the Pure Profile website.

Tips: Complete all of the profile, time permitted, in order to gain access to more survey opportunities.

Make Money with Surveys: SurveySpot

I've been using SurveySpot for a few months now, so I feel like I can give a relatively accurate review based on my experience. Quite frankly I just cancelled my account, but you can weigh the pros and cons and make your own decision. :)

SurveySpot Review: The Good

The website is easy to use and there is almost always a survey available to take. Most of the time there seems to be at least one additional promotion going on. Surveys are straightforward and easy to understand in general, but I have left a couple of surveys as they were just too much for my mind to handle at the time.Unlike a number of similar sites, this one is simply surveys, so distractions are minimal.

SurveySpot Review: The Bad

Despite my effort, I haven't benefited at all from my time spent using SurveySpot. I've been entered into a few prize drawings (which I haven't won), and haven't made one reward points. This company requires 1000 reward points before users are eligible for redeeming them. I've attempted countless surveys only to be informed that I didn't qualify. There is no compensation for this time.

There are no rewards or benefits for referrals.

Online Survey Sites that Are No More

Wow. It's crazy how many online survey sites that I've come across links to that are no longer active/ no longer exist. To save you some time from doing the same, I've started a list that I will update as I come across new ones.

Paid survey sites that no longer exist:

• Tech Panel
• Elite Opinion Panel
• Shifrin-Hayworth: Site is under construction. A very long construction.

These sites exist, but....

• e-Rewards: Membership is by invitation only from sponsors.
• Songpeople: I can't register. I have no idea why.

AppTrailers Review: Earn Gift Cards for Watching Videos!

One of my favorite free apps to earn gift cards is AppTrailers. AppTrailers is just what it sounds like- and more!

AppTrailers Review: What is AppTrailers?

AppTrailers rewards you with points for watching short videos about iPhone or iPad apps. These are generally around 30 seconds long or so, and can be done while sitting on the couch watching TV or waiting for an appointment. 

Recently the app was updated to include short trailers for popular television shows (worth 5 points and able to be watched repeatedly) as well as offers. Offers are the typical ones you see online, with points for signing up for free trials, new websites, and similar randomness.

AppTrailers Review: The Good: 

There are always plenty of videos to choose from, in addition to various offers. Points may be redeemed in Paypal deposits, a number of different gift cards, or scratch cards to gamble on winning more points.

The "Free Today" tab features- you guessed it- a selected app that is free to download for today only. So far none of them have grabbed my attention, but it's still a nice little feature.

By tapping the "history" tab, you have access to all of your point activity. Very few gift card apps offer this, so I'm pretty psyched about it.

So far I've made a few dollars or so without any "real" effort.

AppTrailers Review: The Bad: 

Points are not worth much, with every ten points equal to one cent. At least that's pretty clear when you start with the app, though. So it takes quite some time to build up enough points to where you want to cash out.

AppTrailers Review: Tips: 

Open daily and use the free 10 point scratcher to win quick, easy points. 

Videos featured in yellow may be watched once for points, while those with blue icons may be repeatedly watched. Check in regularly and scan for new yellow videos so you don't miss any!

Check out the offers section even if you think you're not interested, as sometimes there are videos hiding in there!

Enter in my referral code, boilerfreak, and we'll both get extra points! Word on the street is that it's 50 points, but it seems to be a rather controversial topic.
