It's a BIG scam. Not only do you have to go through all kinds of BS just to get through one survey, but it ends up filling up your email inbox with tons of spam mail.

have you done it? and does it actually pay? i could just make a spare mail account to get around the spam.

I tried that at one time. thought it was a great way to get a little extra cash

I filled out about a hundred surveys for different outfits and never got a penny.

Walk from store to store and tell them you will sweep ther walkway for $10:00 or wash there windows for $25:00. You will make much more money.

Also, any of them that ask you for money are just a bunch of non-sence, or if they ask you for your account number down so they can put the money owed to you in your back are a hoax also

Labor is always the best way toward money.

I got so frustrated from the pages and pages of offers that I had to keep saying no to (if you say yes there's more spam added) that I just gave up. And my inbox still got overloaded by spam mail.

If you wanna pursue it, you might wanna go to the library (not purchase a book online from another scammer) and read up on a legitimate place to find someone/some place to get these surveys from

PS - If they want money to be signed up to their survey sending list, it's a SCAM

i would happily do that,im not afraid of work but i dont know of any place that would work.its illigal for a company to let you work off the clock ,so i doubt off the pay role is an option. also they'd have to pay from their own pocket. then again it could be different where you are i suppose,i barely know the working laws for here let alone anywhere else.

I have never made a dime on those things. I get almost to the end of the damn survey and it says that I didn't qualify to finish it, but oh, here is another one I can try.

And yes, it does fill up your emails with a boatload of spam, not worth it.

I've been on Pinecone for eons. They don't pay much, but they do pay for real, plus they send food and stuff to sample and respond.

And, my kids used to make a killing on Kidzeyes, but are now too old.

you've gotta get in with the right sites.

i've done a few market studies with one company that paid me thirty bucks a pop...they were to help come up with a new mountain dew name.

i've got another one that pays pretty well...but not in cash. i get magazine subscriptions and such.

i also do click-through email (for about twenty seconds a week) that gives me a couple hundred bucks worth of gift cards a year.

i get tons of invites, but i only participate in the ones that are worth my time.
