More USA Paid Survey Websites
We have listed below some more paid survey sites in the USA. This page details websites that are perhaps not as rewarding or professional or reliable as those shown on page 1, which lists the
best USA paid survey sites, and some websites that are ones to avoid, at least for now.
Again, don't forget that you can learn more about how online survey sites work by reading our
revealing guide to paid surveys.
If you have any comments about these reviews or would like to suggest another site to be considered for inclusion on this page please let us know.
Decent Paid Survey Sites in the USA Independently Reviewed
Number 12 - Nielsen NetRatings
Nielsen NetRatings - is a long established and professional consumer research company which also monitors internet and computer usage habits using its special software in order to report internet trends and deliver periodic surveys to you. This company has been monitoring TV viewing habits for over 50 years and has now started to research the internet.
Your participation in this programme is through entries into quarterly cash sweepstakes and also chances to win in their instant win prize game with 1,500 different prizes on offer.
It is a decent site, with a strict privacy policy, but one that perhaps could reward individually or offer some other benefits to make it a really good site and properly reward you for your time and allowing your internet habits to be monitored!
Number 13 - Valued Opinions
Valued Opinions - is an international programme offering surveys to respondents at regular intervals by e-mail. We have been a part of this programme for a short time and have already received a number of opportunities to give our opinion for a cash reward. The money you earn is exchangeable for gift certificates to a selection of popular retail partners available on the site.
Number 14 - Juicy Brains Panel
Juicy Brains Panel - is a fun, innovative and interesting UK-based online survey site that pays you to take part in surveys which are designed to make you think rather than just tick boxes (which can make them a little more challenging). You can expect to receive perhaps one or two surveys a month and payment is usually made quickly into your account upon completion of each survey.
You receive payout once you have earned £5 (in the UK). It is not clear from the site whether payment in other countries is in local currency or not, we are trying to find out, so we cannot rate this site any higher until we know as payment in pounds is not very useful for other countries. Method of payout is described in your profile, although at the moment we only have the option of an Amazon gift voucher.
Number 15 - Lightspeed Research
Lightspeed Research - is an online panel that rewards you with points for completing surveys which are then exchangeable for cash, prizes or online gift certificates. If you do not qualify for a survey you may receive entries into their prize draws.
This site was recommended by us as the rewards were reasonable, although they can take some time to accumulate, but we have recently experienced poor customer service from the site (not responding to emails) and also become aware that a few accounts have been closed without reason or notice, which obviously is a practice we would actively discourage unless the survey provider had very good reason for doing so (such as account fraud or the survey taker was not honestly/fully completing surveys). Therefore we now advise caution with this online survey provider. In the interests of fairness we are encouraging our readers to
contact us with their opinions of this panel before reviewing it further.
Paid Survey Sites in the USA we do not currently recommend
These are sites that either appear inactive, untrustworthy or are potential scams.
Number 16 - 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 17 - 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.
Number 18 - MBS Internet
MBS Internet - is an American based site that claims to offer you more survey opportunities. It is a short sign up process and the rewards are said to be in the form of cash, prizes and entries into prize draws. Apparently survey opportunites may include the chance to participate in online focus groups as well as normal e-mail invitation online surveys. We signed up to this site over two years ago and have never received a survey invitation, so we cannot recommend it at all! It could be targetted at a US audience, but the design of the site is poor and has not been updated at all since we joined. One to avoid.
