paid survey guide

One more thing: genuine paid survey websites often conduct data quality checks on survey responses to find the minority who give fraudulent answers, but genuine survey takers like you and us have nothing to worry about here. We can enjoy answering questions and getting rewarded for doing so. Just be yourself and answer truthfully.

Our Top European Paid Survey Sites and Online Opinion Panels
Number 1 - Toluna
Toluna - (formerly known as Test and Vote) is a fun and interesting panel that allows you to give your opinion and earn rewards in many ways. For example, you can take online surveys, participate in quick website polls, create your own mini polls and sign up to test new products. Each of these methods accumulates you points which are ultimately exchangeable for lots of choices of rewards such as vouchers to several popular online retailers, Facebook credits, or entries into the monthly site draws. You decide what to do with your points.
It's a fun site, has lots of members and an active community. Survey invitations are quite frequent at present so you should be able to accumulate those points quickly. Surveys usually take between 5 and 30 minutes to complete.

Number 2 - Global Test Market
GlobalTestMarket is a global online research survey panel which awards you 'MarketPoints' for participating fully in surveys you are invited to complete. Upon receiving 1000 of these points (each point at present is worth 5 US cents) you can redeem them and request a cheque (in your local currency). We have received a large number of valuable invitations in a relatively small space of time, but have learned that sometimes you need to be quick in responding as, within hours of the invitation, the survey can be closed once the required number of respondents have replied.
Certainly recommended for the very good rewards offered and interesting survey opportunities, although it can take a little time to get to the payout threshold. One extra positive is that even if you are screened out of a survey you should normally receive a few points for your time and effort.

Number 3 - ACOP
ACOP - stands for America Consumer Opinion Panel and is a worldwide panel that distributes online surveys or focus group opportunities which can pay anything between the equivalent of US$2 and US$50 in Euros. Although invitations to particiapate in surveys can be rare, the rewards are generally much higher than other such sites...making it more than worthwhile spending five minutes just signing up to the site and filling out your profile.
You also sometimes get paid per survey that you complete, or, if not, you only have to accumulate $10 in your ACOP account before claiming your money in Euros.
They also have monthly draws to win a prize which all members are part of. Payment is by cheque and normally in your local currency. The site is available in a number of European languages.

Number 4 - Pure Profile
Pure Profile is an innovative survey website which is profesionally run and gives its members the chance to earn money giving their opinion online. When you register, you need to create a profile of yourself by following an easy to complete online process. Once created you will receive surveys to complete.
You can redeem your cash rewards directly into your bank account once you have earned enough in your Pure Profile account. It's a good site that is well worth trying out. One further benefit of being part of this panel is that you are often given a small cash reward even if you do not qualify to complete a full survey.
They are currently recruiting new German panel members.

Number 5 - Ipsos Consumer Panel
Ipsos - is an excellent and well-known global online opinion and consumer panel. The surveys are usually simple and enjoyable to complete and we have been receiving regular surveys for over three years suggesting a very active online panel. For every survey you participate in you will receive a varying number of points, depending on whether you complete the whole survey, or part of it, and also depending on the length of the survey too. These rewards are exchangeable for vouchers to a number of popular shops and online retailers. This survey site not only sends you surveys but also surveys for other members of your household so the points can accumulate quite quickly and you can get your vouchers in decent time.
The site offers product testing too although we have yet to be asked to do this. They are currently recruiting Romanian Nationals for their panel:

Number 6 - Opinion World
Opinion World - is a fun survey site that rewards you with entries into regular prize draws as a thankyou for giving your opinion on a wide range of subjects. There are sometimes opportunities to participate in product testing too. Participation in this online panel also supports a number of charities, where you can choose between three options each time you complete an online survey.
Occasionally some of the longer surveys or special surveys will reward you with points for completing them which can be redeemed for various rewards once you accumulate enough of them in your Opinion World account. In our experience you certainly receive lots of opportunities to complete what are normally interesting surveys, however we have to say that the rewards (in terms of various prize draw entries and occasional points) are not as fulfilling as what you can receive on some other sites.
The surveys are on a wide range of subjects such as films, topical issues, shopping and electronics to name but a few and you never know, you might just win a big prize!
Number 7 - Spider Metrix
Spider Metrix - is an Australian based survey site which rewards you with spiderpoints for participating in quick online site polls and longer website evaluations and surveys. These are often geographically targetted, and given that it is an Australian panel there are generally more opportunities for Australians and New Zealand, however we have seen surveys directed at some European countries too such as Greece and the site is available to any nationality. Even if you do not get invited to take part in the longer surveys there are frequent one point polls where you can quickly express your opinion on a particular question and then receive a spider point for your time. The points are exchangeable for cash payable via paypal or in the form of a cheque, or gift certificates, or you can choose to donate to charity.
There is also a forum too where you can talk to other site members if you wish to!
Number 8 - Permission Research
Permission Research - is an international online market research community (especially focusing on the US and Canada market however), which offers entries into its monthly sweepstakes for participation in their programme aimed at improving the internet. As well as these, members can receive points for participating in interesting surveys which are then convertible into a whole array of rewards.
This site monitors internet usage and trends through its software that you have to download and also through online surveys it conducts. It also offers members even more free benefits for taking part in its research such as some free software downloads including fun games, file encryption and decryption software, and email virus protection.
Number 9 - Wonder Bug (Global Opinion Panels)
Global Opinion Panels is now called Wonder Bug! This panel enters you into monthly sweepstakes for participating in short online surveys and also rewards you with points depending on the length and topic of the survey you have completed. You may also receive a few points even if you are screened out and not needed to do the whole survey. We have received just a few opportunities so far in our membership of this site. The site states there may be other opportunities to take part in more lengthy surveys and product testing to which we have yet to be invited.
Indeed since the end of 2007 we have been receiving even fewer opportunites to give our opinion which makes us reluctant to give it our full recommendation at present.
Number 10 - Survey Savvy
Survey Savvy - is an international provider of paid survey opportunities offering good cash rewards which are paid in US$. The stated average reward for completion of a survey is $3 but we have been offered rewards of between $2 and $20. Each month the site pays $10 to 50 members taken from a pool of those who have not qualified to participate in a survey during that time.
There is no minimum nor maximum payout threshold and all payments are made by cheque. You can also refer friends and family to the site and receive extra rewards based on what they earn when completing surveys themselves. We have only received a few opportunities to complete surveys on this site, but we recommend the site as the potential rewards are very good and the site is professional. Of course whilst the site only pays out in US$ this is a notable disadvantage to those living in the rest of the world.
Paid Survey Sites in Europe that we do not currently recommend
These are sites that either appear inactive, untrustworthy or are potential scams.
Number 11 - QSample
QSample - claims to be an international survey website which on the face of it appears to offer good rewards in return for members completing surveys. The site design is a little clumsy and has not been updated in all our time as members of the site. We cannot recommend it until we have received a survey, completed it and received payment for it, and we have been a member for well over two years! It is possibly aimed more at North American users, but we have never received a good report about the site.
Number 12 - Opinionate
Opinionate - states it will pay up to £3.50 for each online survey you complete. When you have earned £10 or more you can request a payout in cash by paypal, or request a voucher from a named high street retailer, or donate your earnings to charity. We have not received a survey from this site for well over a year and a half so we do not recommend joining it at present. It was active when we joined in 2006, but appears to have come to a grinding halt now. We can understand not qualifying for surveys, but it is not credible when a survey invitation is not received for such a long period of time.
MBS Internet
MBS Internet was an American based site that claims to offer you more survey opportunities. It had a short sign up process and the rewards were said to be in the form of cash, prizes and entries into prize draws. We signed up to this site but never received a survey invitation, so we did not recommend it at all! It could be targetted at a US audience, but the design of the site was poor and was not updated at all after we joined. It was one to avoid, appeared to be a scam.
