USA Paid to Survey Site Reviews

MySurvey Paid Survey Panel (must be over 14 years of age)

MySurvey is a global and popular research survey panel. You get to complete surveys on many subjects and every time you qualify to fully undertake the research (not screened out) you usually receive points which are exchangeable for some great rewards. You can redeem them for Paypal payments, gift cards and e-certificates, charity donations and more, once you reach the payout threshold, 1,000 points, which is equivalent to $10. Each day one lucky panel member wins 10,000 points and they also run regular sweepstakes which you get entries to when you do not qualify to complete full surveys (when you are screened out). This is an active panel with regular invitations to take part in their surveys.

PureProfile

Pure Profile - is a global panel that rewards you with cash payments for your opinions. They are currently recruiting new members for their American panel as they extend their global reach. You are told at the beginning of each survey how much it is worth should you fully complete it and you are also given an estimate how long it will take. What we like about this panel is that you are often rewarded with a small incentive even if you are screened out. When registering with this panel you do need to complete a profile process that can take a little time, but this helps you to receive more survey invitations. Payments are made to your bank account once your account reaches $25.

Mindfield

Mindfield - is a traditional paid survey site where you get paid cash incentives for offering your genuine opinions on a variety of important topics. Your cash rewards accumumlate in your Mindfield account and you can request a check once they reach $5 (this has recently been reduced from $10 following feedback from their site users which is a positive sign). There will be occasions, like with all survey sites, when you do not qualify for a survey. When this happens in a Mindfield survey you will be put into their monthly draw for cash and/or prizes. It seems a simple yet professional site. Please note that the site undertakes data quality checks of its surveys. Feel free to contact us with your thoughts about this USA paid survey panel.

Cada Cabeza Hispanic Panel

Cada Cabeza - is an exclusive panel for Spanish speaking Hispanic Americans only. It works in much the same way as other paid survey panels, except that all questions are in Spanish. You receive invitations to complete surveys and take part in discussions with like minded people. When you participate you receive points as rewards, with each survey usually paying between 100 and 200 points, depending on how long it is. When you reach 1000 points in your account they can be exchanged for a $20 check. You can also receive more points when you refer a friend to the panel and that friend goes on to complete their first paid survey.

E Poll (Age 14+)

E Poll - rewards you for completing online surveys with points which you can exchange for cash payments into your Paypal account or to earn gift cards to popular retailers such as Best Buy, iTunes and Amazon.com.

Some surveys you are asked to complete are rewarded with product samples, gift certificates or entries into prize draws rather than cash. Don't forget, ultimately you decide which surveys to take and which you don't, so if you don't like the reward don't do the survey!

Number 1 - Ipsos i-Say Panel (for 14 years or over)

Ipsos i-Say - is one of our favorite panels for the very good rewards they offer you when you fully complete their online surveys. For each completed survey you will earn points which are exchangeable for different rewards like gift cards and cash by paypal. Surveys are normally each worth between 10 and 100 points and you can start redeeming these points once you reach 500, depending on the type of reward you choose. They are also currently running a loyalty program until the end of the year where the more surveys you take with Ipsos in the year will get you more bonus points for your Ipsos account. Not only that, but they run other promotions too, such as a monthly click draw to win $5000 (each time you click to try a survey you receive an entry), and a monthly points giveaway too. There are not many online panels who offer such a variety of fantastic rewards for your opinions.

Number 2 - GlobalTestMarket

GlobalTestMarket - is a global paid opinion 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 check. We generally receive a good number of invitations each week on a variey of topics, such as films, video games, groceries and other consumer products. We like this panel and it is 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 benefit is that even if you are screened out of a survey you often are given entries into daily and quarterly cash sweepstakes for taking the time to try the survey.

Number 3 - Toluna

Toluna - is a fun community panel that allows its many members across the world to give their opinions and earn rewards in a number of different ways. You can earn points by taking online surveys, through testing new products, or participating in quick polls. You can even create your own surveys if you want to. You accumulate points as rewards which are then exchangeable for vouchers to several popular online retailers or you can chose to receive a check. You decide what to do with your points. It's a good site which is a bit different to other survey sites as it is run more like a survey community. We receive frequent survey invites which helps us to accumulate rewards quite quickly.

Number 4 - 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 $2 and $50. Although invitations to participate in surveys can be fewer than other panels, the rewards are generally much higher than other such sites and you don't have to accumulate as much cash before getting paid for completing their surveys. Payment is normally by check. The fair rewards certainly makes it worthwhile spending five minutes just signing up to the site and filling out your profile. If you don't get through the pre-survey screener you are rewarded with an entry into a cash sweepstakes or, less often, with a small cash incentive. They also run monthly draws to win $250 which all members are part of.
