You usually receive two to six surveys per day and about a third of them feature a cash reward (in my testing during the month of May, I received 68 surveys and 20 were for cash). I generally qualify for about 75% of the paid surveys.Rewards
Cash rewards sometimes and then only if you qualify for the survey and complete it. The cash ranges from $2 to $15 and is on average $3 per survey. Cash is stored in your account until you request a check (must have $5 or more to request payment). The only bad things is that it can take up to six weeks from the time you complete a survey for a cash reward payment to be deposited into your account (in my tests, however, it usually only took two weeks).
For every survey, you can also play the instant win game which features Sony Home Entertainment Systems, Orbitz/Travelocity Travel Vouchers, Apple iPod Nanos, Nike Gift Cards, Circuit City Gift Cards, and a certificate for 25 Song Downloads. If you don't win a prize instantly, then you randomly earn 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 entries into the $25,000 quarterly sweepstakes.

Each point is equal to $.05 or 20 points are equal to a dollar. The only bad thing about the reward system is that you need 1,000 points ($50) to request a check.

The paid surveys generally range from $4 to $5. The only bad thing is that you'll get an individual check for each survey - there is no account balance where you can store your payments until you're ready for a big check.

All surveys that you qualify for are paid, with the compensation ranging from $2 to $15, with an average of $3. The bad thing about this site is that there are no additional profiles to complete to help target surveys towards you, so you end up not qualifying for a lot of them. Payment by check or PayPal is nice, though, and if you opt for PayPal, your PayPal account gets automatically credited 4 to 8 weeks after you complete a surveyClick here to join Brand Insitute via Online Global Recruiting
