The very first site I am already in love with is Opinion Outpost. Opinion Outpost requires you to register for a free (I would never pay for any survey site) membership which requires a valid email address and some basic personal information. Once a member, Opinion Outpost gives you cash and rewards for completed surveys that you qualify for. So how do you get the cash and rewards you may ask?!?! Opinion Outpost offers a variety of cash out options including Amazon gift cards, Cash paid via PayPal, VISA prepaid cards, Sweepstakes entries and more. You get to choose how you would like to be paid. There is a minimum account balance required to request rewards, for example 100 points ($10) for PayPal payments or 50 points ($5) for Amazon gift cards. From my experience so far surveys offer 5 - 25 points per completed survey and I have been able to complete 4 -5 surveys per day. As a bonus members are eligible to win $10,000 in their quarterly prize draw, entries into this drawing are often given even if you do not qualify for a specific survey. All in all my points have added up fairly quickly, again I am not going to get rich off this site but a $20.00 Paypal payout in a weeks time is nothing to shake a stick at!
The second site I wanted to review today is MintVine. MintVine much like the first site requires you to register for a free membership which requires a valid email address and some basic personal information. MintVine offers Cash paid via PayPal, Dwolla payouts ( I have no experience with this payment method), or Amazon/Target gift cards as your payment options. The minimum account balance required to request PayPal, Dwolla payments, or gift card codes is 1000 point ($10). Most surveys that you qualify for and complete are worth 70 points each ( I did get a 200 point survey at one time) but can vary with each offer. MintVine also offers Local Deals and other Offers that can be purchased and completed to rack up the points even faster. Points can post immediately to your account or may sit in a pending status which will be awarded upon approval. Again overall I have had a great experience with MintVine and yes I really have been rewarded for my time!
You can click on the name's of either survey company to be directly linked to their site. When looking to sign up for any survey sites I have a few personal rules I follow. One I have a dedicated email address for my survey sites, coupon, sites and any other type of "deal" sites. It keeps my regular email free from potential clutter from sites that send multiple emails per day. Second never I mean NEVER give out passwords, credit card information, banking account numbers or anything that may come back to bite you in the butt if you sign up for something that is not legit! Read the terms and conditions of the sites you sign up for, this way there are less likely to be surprises in the future, and again do your own research. Most people are going to put out their own personal bad experiences for sites that they have not been pleased with. Google away and make your own informed choices!
Thank you for taking the time to read my survey site reviews, please feel free to comment below. Remember the opinions above are just that my opinions, but I hope you will find them useful and informative!!!
