They send about 1 survey a week. They started a new sweepstakes where you can enter points earned from surveys into drawings of your choice to win prizes. They are a legit survey site. I have been with them for a while. I think the sweepstakes is better than others because you get to choose what you want your points to go to.

This is a panel that I have been a part of for a very long time. I do get more surveys for points in comparison to most of the other companies. There are plenty of survey drawings or sweeps going on, and sadly I have not won one yet. They do pay but it can be difficult to make a substantial amount of money, without putting in alot of surveys! All in all, this is a very trustworth one, and it is hard to go just by one’s word on surveys. Demographics truly does play a vital role, along with other related factors.

This is definitly one of my favorite survey sites. They pay on time, and the surveys are not very long like some sites. Of course you dont get surveys that often, and the pay is ok, but that is how most survey sites are. The most you can make here in a month is maybe a few dollars spending cash.

NPD is a great survey site. I get alot of surveys from them, sometimes 5 a week, and i use my points to enter the sweepland drawings for cash or prizes, you can choose which to use your points on.
The payments and cash are not very often, and can take a while to get a cash reward, but i am happy with the points and how i can choose to use them!
The support is great and very responsive!
If you are not a member yet, all i can say is join!

I really like this site. I usually get 1-2 surveys a week from them. The surveys don’t take too long to complete. You get points and can win extra points, cash, or prizes on top of the points earned for taking the survey. You can use your points for Sweepland drawings for cash and prizes. I have yet to win, but I really like this site and think it is fun.

It’s a very legit site. They offer points as a reward, and you can allocate your points to the prize of your choice. I don’t recieve surveys as much as I would like, they only send about 1 a week. Other then that, they are great! I have won a weekend getaway, and $100 dollars so far. Hoping to win some more! I really like this survey site, and highly recommend it!

After registering, I took my initial points for signing up and filing out a survey and spend them on a $100 drawing. I win. A week later I get another survey for more points and spend them on another chance to win $100. Maybe I will go 2 for 2.

Either way it’s much more fun than Lotto. Its fun planning where I will bet my points next. You get to see which prizes most of players sorry surveyors are betting their points on. You pick one you think you have the best chance to win. Or maybe just save them up for a big bet on the $5000 drawing.

I love their SweepLand program. It is fun, engaging and the prize choices are really great. While I haven’t won yet, there are a lot of lucky folks who have. Check out their winners circle and the prizes. You don’t get surveys all the time, but I’ve read elsewhere that NPD is a real market research company focused on data quality so they are probably trying to not overdo it. I could do more, if asked.

I like how I’m not asked to take a survey like 10 times a day! NPD sends me 1-2 a week max. I like their games and the sweepland choices. I’d keep doing this.

I am not sure whether I really like this site or not. I like when I have the choice to cash out my points for money, or giftcards, something tangible. However, this site gives you points that you can enter to win prizes, I have not won a thing. The prizes are good, some even GREAT, I don’t know that I would ever win though, and for all the time I spend on the surveys, I would rather know I am getting something. Still not sure, like I stated, will stick with it for awhile longer and see if my attitude changes.

Pros: It’s possible to win great prizes from just a few surveys such as laptops and cash. Surveys aren’t too bad and frequency is okay. You can choose where to put your points or just save them up.

Cons: It is hard to win. You would have to be really lucky since you are in a raffle with lots of people. Points for raffles are the only form of compensation.

I have not won anything from this site, but I will probably still continue doing the surveys once in a while just in case I get really really lucky.

Every now and then I will get a survey from NPDOR, and it’s always fun to take. You can get points for prizes which you pick out, which is more like a prize pool, but the more surveys you take the more likely you will be able to “get stuff”

my association with this client has been very pleasant. the big problem seems to be the amt of surveys received. they are infrequent.

I’ve been a member of NPDOR for almost 1 1/2 months and have since received about 1 survey per week from them. It always seems to be on the same day too. I also never had any problems with not qualifying. Anyway, with every survey you take, you have a chance to earn points where then you can assign them to a number of prizes. Most prizes are awarded weekly to monthly. Some, such as the $100 drawing has a new winner every day. Because of that, I like to assign 10 points to that drawing every day. I haven’t won anything yet, but a lot of people have. As cool as this is though, it’s also my biggest gripe. As I can testify, I have completed about 6 surveys and have not gotten anything. It’s really all about chance. Still, I think it’s worth it. The prizes are really good. As for the surveys themselves, sometimes they really make you think, such as about your past purchases; what store, how much and what other things/ places you considered. They seem to be about 5-10 minutes, so they really aren’t that long, but they aren’t really all that enjoyable either. Overall, because of the short surveys, easy qualification and the number of great prizes, I recommend this site.

THIS SURVEY SITE OFFERS EXCELLENT CASH AND PRIZES MONTHLY, IF YOUR NAME IS DRAWN FROM THE CATEGORY THAT YOU WANT. I GET VERY FEW INVITATIONS, MAYBE 2-3 A MONTH. JUST ENOUGH TO BE ENTERED INTO A PRIZE OR REWARD THAT YOU WANT. THE SURVEYS ARE SIMPLE AND NOT LONG. THE REWARDS THEY OFFER ARE THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME INTERESTED IN CONTINUING MY MEMERSHIP.

NPD online survey site gives me a chance to win big prize and cash when i take a survey.In my opinion it is not worth to take it and i think it is hard to win.Many times i ignore the survey invite email and only take it when i have free time.
I think NPD need to change its policy to attract more people in use reality cash reward.
Anyway NPD is not my type survey site and i keep the site to wait some good news from it in the future.

NPD Online Research website is a average website because the only thing that you can win besides surveys are “prizes” which is almost impossible to get. I do not use it anymore until they fix their way of payment. When you take a survey, you get Sweepland points to get into a sweepstakes. If there was more ways of payment besides these sweepland points prizes, I will really use this site. NPD, use different ways to pay your users!!
