NFO/mysurvey.com - Legitimate Survey Panel #9

I have been a member of NFO/Mysurvey.com for approximately two and a half years. I like belonging to this panel for several reasons. First of all, they pay (a must!) and very timely too. I have earned $60 from Mysurvey.com since I started and am close to half way to my next 10 dollars. Secondly, their surveys aren't annoying or overly repetitive.

How it works is that you take surveys, most of which start out as 10 pointers. Some are just to gather information for future surveys and many are screeners that if you qualify, you can go on to take the rest of the survey for more points. I highly recommend opting to take surveys on site as well as via the mail (the way NFO started out decades ago) because with each mail survey you complete, you do get points for doing so. You should receive an email when the points have been credited to your account.

You earn points, which you bank, and you can cash out at the 1,000 point level. At 1,000 points, you can cash out for a $10 check, which comes very quickly, only a few weeks and it will hit your mailbox. You can also cash out for merchandise or other goodies (1 free month of Netflix, anyone?) or you can save up and at the 1,100 point level, you can redeem for a $10 gift certificate via Reward Choice. Amazon is a participating retailer, among others. I am actually too cheap to waste 100 points to get a $10 gift code, so I always opt for the $10 cash.

I have gotten numerous products to test via this site. Many items were baby products, so moms with babies, be sure to sign up! Mysurvey.com does also offer an affiliate program if you have a website and it does offer 150 points for referring a friend. Be sure to check that out and do adhere to spam rules.



For must know tips on how to get started taking surveys, don't pass up my article How To Make Ends Meet and Still Be a Stay At Home Mom. The part that deals with surveys is on pages 2 and 3 of that article, but you may want to read the rest for other ideas.
