If you've found this page then we expect that you already know what a paid survey site is and the rewards you can get for taking your time to give your true thoughts and opinions on a varied range of topics. We have been asked to produce a trusted list of legitimate sites which do pay out what they say they will pay out.
We have therefore listed all of the paid survey sites and opinion panels that we have used and, most importantly, that have paid out to us
the rewards they stated they would pay in their terms and conditions. These are the legitimate paid surveys that we are all lookng for and that we are confident will pay you, as long as you comply with their policies and answer their questions and surveys honestly and with care.
Some of the sites are available in a number of countries so look out for your flag to see if the panel operates where you are. All of the sites are free to join, as all genuine paid survey sites should be. We will continue to add paying survey sites to the list as and when we are able to confirm that they are genuine and do pay the stated rewards, so check back regularly for the latest additions.

Ipsos are one of our favourite market research panels who are operate in many countries and reward you well for your opinions. When completing their survey questionnaires you are given Ipsos panel points which are then redeemable for a variety of excellent reward options including Amazon gift cards in certain countries and other shopping gift cheques and vouchers in others. Redemption levels vary with the country where the panel operates, but are, in our experience, reachable in a reasonable time frame. For example in the UK, you need 1380 points to make a redemption claim and these points will currently net you a very useful £10 Amazon (UK) voucher.

The YouGov Panels
YouGov are particularly well known for their political and general public opinion research. They also conduct research for a number of high profile companies and brands. Their surveys are usually interesting, thoughtful and relevant and it is enjoyable to be a part of this panel.
For the majority of surveys you receive panel points which can be exchanged for cash payments by cheque/check or other rewards once you reach the required payment threshold. This can be a little high, for example in the UK you need 5000 points for a £50 payout, but this is one of the more interesting panels to be a part of and they do pay their rewards, which is why they are here!

The New Vista Panel
The New Vista survey panel is run by the reputable market research firm, ICM, in the UK. This panel is the online arm of it's research and generally rewards you very well for the paid surveys you complete conscientiously. You usually receive points in your account for each full survey you finish and each point equates to £1. You will be paid anything from £1 (1 point) upwards, depending on the survey length and type.
Once your account reaches the £50 mark you can expect to receive a cheque in the post on the next site payment date. This is a reliable site in our opinion and pays well, even if you have to wait a little time to accumulate your cash.
