     I've been trying to get into the 'survey game' for awhile now.  It's been really hard for me to find surveys that pay money.  Of course, now I'm in several groups on gather and am learning about new sites I should try...thanks for posting them everyone!

     I've been a member of survey spot for awhile.  Last night I got an email that said $5.00 survey so I opened it.  It said $5 survey if you qualify.  Immediatly, I was like....'I'm not gonna qualify AGAIN for a survey' but continued anyways.  It was for Crohn's Disease.  Something that I have had for several years but am in remission from.  Hurray!  Crohn's finally paid off (okay, being sarcastic here...but you develop sarcasm as a side effect of Crohn's, lol).  I just was so excited, even if it's only $5.....I finally got paid from a survey!  Just wanted to share and look forward to reading more from the 'survey scouting' groups I belong to here on Gather.

I never qualify for Survey Spot surveys but do belong to several others that I have been sucessful with.

Congratulations!! Five dollars is five more than before!
I take surveys, too, but I've only received money from one of the sites. It took several months of surveys, but I earned a thirty dollar check.
I'm thinking about checking out some of the sites I've seen others list here, as well, just haven't had time lately.

Congratulations, Heather! After your first paid survey, it seems like they show up more and more! :) I think I've made about $40 from SurveySpot in about 4-6 months.

Keep it up and thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks everyone. :) Jenny, I hope you're right and they keep coming more and more :)

Hi Heather. Congrats on your survey! I am a fellow "Crohnie" also. My bouts come and go but I am mostly in good health! Take Care and feel good. Maybe we should start a IBS /Crohns gather group for support!!

I made $20 on survey spot for a soup survey just today.

Keep at it, they will start to pay off soon!

Hello fellow Crohnie and IBS'er! And thanks everyone for the comments :)

I almost never qualify for Survey Spot, nut I really like Lightspeed and NFOmysurvey. PineCone is my favorite, but they are not easy to get into.
Congratulations and good luck.

I love survey spot so far I have recieved 5.00 from them and I also have 15.00 pending untill i claim it or want it,, they are a good place to go ... congrats

Good for you! I know what you mean about getting 'Sorry you do not qualify for this survey'. I like My Survey and Lightspeed Panel Surveys.

I do surveys for them all the time...maybe I should check and see if I can get some money from them...LOL

I get surveys in the mail from Home Testing Institute and usually they have $5 in them (sometimes $2). They don't come too often (maybe once a month, maybe less) but I enjoy doing surveys.

Congrats on the $5.00. I belong to surveyspot. Maybe I should have had Hubby complete the Crohn's survey. He was diagnosed with it last year.
