Paid surveys are becoming ever popular, thanks to our south going economy. with the fragile state of the economy that we are in, for most of us its a no brainer that we need another source of income. unfortenaly the same economy has smashed the job market as well. that’s when extra ways of making money, like paid surveys come in. in this fragile economy, any thing that can bring in much needed extra cash is appreciated. getting paid to take paid surveys is on of the easiest way to make that extra cash fast. people are coming to notice this and are taking advantage of this free opportunity. unfortunately scammers have noticed this gold rush for paid surveys as well, so its no wonder there are more paid survey scams out there, than real and legitimate paid surveys. so in an effort to ease the process of researching and finding legitimate paid survey companies, as i promised in my 12 Legitimate Paid Surveys To Make Money! article, here are some more reliable and legitimate paid surveys sites you can use to make extra cash by taking surveys.
1. PineCone Research
PineCone Research without a doubt is one of the most prestige paid survey company, in terms of quality. its one of the oldest paid surveys that i have been a member of. the great think about PineCone is the fact that almost 100% of their surveys, takes under ten minutes to complete, and they pay between $3 to $8. another interesting thing is their test product. basically they send you new or improved product( anything from gums, perfume, soda and even frozen food), and ask you to use it for a week or so, then answer a five minuets surveys about it. product test surveys, usually pay above $10. you get paid by check, which unlike most other paid survey companies, you don’t have to wait to reach a threshold, in order to get paid. every time you complete a survey, your check for that survey will be send to you the next day or so, which is great!
2. Valued Opinions
Another great paid survey company. expect to receive a lot of surveys after you sign up!(which is good, more survey=more money) you get pay in the form of gift certificate such as amazon gift certificate. as soon as you reach $25, which with the amount of surveys the send, its very easy to reach), you can request your gift card which you will be given the code for it right away. (not many survey companies pay that fast!)
3. GlobalTestMarket
GlobalTestMarket is powered by one of the world’s leading providers of market research GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.). that alone was enough to convince me to join GTM, when i was trying to make money with paid surveys. they also send a lot of surveys, close to 15 survey every week. average survey last about 6 minuets or so and pays between 50 to 200 market points (1000 MP= $50). you get paid when you have $50 in your account, by check.
4. Opinion Outpost
Located near salt lake city, utah- opinion outpost is part of Western Wats, which is known as one of the largest market research companies in the world. each paid surveys takes an average of 5 minuets, and pays from 1$ to $15 (you get opinion points which are converted to cash). minimum payment is $10 and your paid by check. opinion outpost CANADA , opinion outpost HISPANIC
5. ZoomPanel
ZoomPanelists (as survey takers are called) receive rewards by qualifying for and completing online surveys. For each completed survey, you receive ZoomPoints that are redeemable for popular movies, music, electronics, and…. they have a huge selection of stuff you can reedem your points for. from i pods to even flat screen tvs. they have the most fun surveys in my opinion. zommpanel also sends out a lot of surveys. ZoomPanel is a part of MarketTools, Inc.
6. MobileXpression
If you are a cell phone lover, you are going to love this. MobileXpression is about the only legitimate (at least that i know of) market research community dedicated to mobile research. its actually a lot of fun, taking their phone surveys. expect big rewards from taking their phone surveys.
7. My View
My View (previously Survey Direct), is more of a game and movie based research company. and that means fun. whenever there is a new movie, tv show or game, coming out, expect to receive a survey about that, asking you to watch a trailer and take a couple minuets survey. that’s not to say their surveys are just about movies and games, they do have other topic related surveys as well, but they tend to focus more on movies and games, since they are a well known company for game and movie research. this is one of my favorite. pay out at $25 and pay is via pay pal.
8. Global Survey Group
The average survey takes approximately 7 minutes to complete and surveys are mostly focused on retailers and clothing companies. while some surveys have a predetermined reward, many will give you a chance to enter Sweepstakes.
9. Survey Panel Group
Survey Panel Group is another legitimate paid survey company, almost the same as the GSG, with more sweepstakes prizes than predetermined prize for each survey.
10. Vindale Research
Its more of a get paid to review products. product test surveys pay $5 – $75 per survey completed, and in the case product other than food and drinks(obviously because you have to eat or drink to test them), you will get to keep the product as well. for example a new cd player sent to you for testing, will be yours.
Update
Here is couple more legitimate paid survey program. keep checking this post as i will be adding to this list.
11. NPD
With over 40 years of experience NPD is one the largest and most trusted research companies in the world. with npd not only you get paid according to each survey, but each survey you take, gives you a chance to win one of their many prizes form cash to merchandise. you can expect a lot of surveys coming from them. NPD CANADA
12. Nielsen Digital Voice Research Panel
Nielsen family members have been influential in determining the popularity of television programs for over 50 years. its a very dedicated paid survey company, who has been gathering data and survey result for many major companies. they have a lot of test surveys, where they send you a new product, which you get to keep and use for free, after a week or so you will take a survey about it and get paid. Nielsen Hispanic

Hey you forgot to mention NPD Research. NPD Research pays you in points instead of dollars but the points can be used to enter contests. You can make alot of money by winning their contests.
Thanks for the link cory, the only reason i didn’t list NPD here was because i havnt had a personal experience with it. i have been scammed and not paid many times when i started doing paid surveys about 6 years ago. and as you know there are still a lot of “paid survey” scams out there,so i want to make sure i interduse my readers to legitimate and paying survey sites. since you have mentioned it, how is your experience? i mean how many surveys a week usually you get? what’s the average payment and do they pay on time?
let me know your experience. and ill try to find their banner and add it to the list.
There you go cory, here is NPD. i have done some research and based on what i have found, NPD is a trusted and legitimate survey company.
