I have been working on updating a huge list of online programs that I have stored on my home computer and need to get other people's opinions about certain programs. The reason I'm doing this is to add additional information or tips to that list OR remove the program from my list entirely. I need to find out if programs are worth what little extra time I have, or if I should continue telling others about these programs.
I am posting a series of 'question' articles, so feel free to provide your candid opinions or experiences with the website that is being discussed and remember to look at the bottom of this piece to see all the past articles I've written in this series.
I have been participating with SurveySpot since January 2007 and currently have $11.00 in my account for completing 3 surveys. You only need $5.00 to cash out, which I think is great because there are not that many survey companies that offer such a low cash-out point. I haven't been keeping up with SurveySpot as much as I should because I let my survey invitations pile up in my inbox and then by the time I got to them, the surveys were closed. I do get a LOT of invitations from them though.
They offer members three ways to earn cash and prizes:
1) Each time you take a survey you will qualify to play an Instant Win game
2) You also earn entries into the $25,000 Cash Sweepstakes awarded every quarter
3) Certain surveys offer cash awards when you complete them
1) Are you a member of this survey company?
2) How often do you receive survey invitations?
3) Do you qualify for very many surveys?
4) Have you ever cashed out for a reward and if so, how fast did you get it?
If you've never heard of "SurveySpot", feel free to click --> HERE <-- to read about it & sign up if you'd like, then come back here and give us your opinions on the website so far. Thanks!

A little background: Online programs are not for everyone and people do things like this online for many different reasons. Personally, I became a stay at home mom last year and started participating in various online surveys and points programs just to earn a few extra bucks here and there to help pay the bills. I never pay for any of these things online and if I find out a program doesn't seem 'worth my time or effort', then I just quit. Easy as that!

2) How often do you receive survey invitations?fairly bi-weekly
3) Do you qualify for very many surveys?off and on
4) Have you ever cashed out for a reward and if so, how fast did you get it?
no I haven't still.
Not lately.
Depends.
Last year they were one of the best, for me. This year not so much.
;-(
Not sure why some people get more surveys than others.
They offer a lot of surveys where you get something to use at home, which I really like. And pretty often (but not as much as they used to) you get well paying surveys.
2) How often do you receive survey invitations? DAILY...sometimes a few times per day
3) Do you qualify for very many surveys? YEP!
4) Have you ever cashed out for a reward and if so, how fast did you get it?
I cashed out for $8 a few months ago. I got the check in less than 2 weeks
I've been a member since around April 2007. I currently have $6 in my account. But, I've completed several other surveys in the past week or two for a total of about $25. They usually take 2-5 weeks to credit the amounts to your account. But when they do, I'll be cashing out for a nice check!
2) How often do you receive survey invitations? Fairly often. Mostly sweeps entires, which I do not bother with.
3) Do you qualify for very many surveys? Quite a few.
4) Have you ever cashed out for a reward and if so, how fast did you get it? Yes. I forget how fast it was but it was a reasonable amount of time.
Every time they say I'm going to get some actual money, I am dropped from the survey before I can finish it. I guess they didn't like my answers, Etc.
Have you heard about Greenfield? It is another survey site that claims to pay cash, "guaranteed" but each time I try one I get cut short because I don't qualify for that quiz for some reason or another.
It is at: http://www.greenfield.com/
You might have better luck than me.
2) How often do you receive survey invitations? I don't get them anymore. I used to take quite a few surveys with them since 2004. But suddenly they quit sending invitations. I go to their site, but there is never a survey for me to take. I don't understand what the problem is. I'll have to send a personal email to someone and find out, I guess.
3) Do you qualify for very many surveys? I used to and got paid fairly well.
4) Have you ever cashed out for a reward and if so, how fast did you get it? The last cashout was $42 back in January, 2007. After the last cashout, I get nothing.
Also it may not be honest, but sometimes in order to qualify you need to think about what they are wanting from a survey taker. If it's for video games, I would recommend that you put you own all new consoles, whether or not you actually do, for a better chance in qualifying. I have qualified for surveys in multiple catagories, I've copied and pasted my payment history below, as you can see I've regularly qualified and gotten paid for surveys

The only advice is, for the first question "Do you or anyone in your household work in the following industries: Retail, Advertising, etc." even if you do click no, it's the first step towards qualifying for your next survey.
Good luck.
