I’ve earned well over a hundred dollars from survey spot. I like that you know what you will be compensated for each survey, and it’s in dollars rather than points.

Also, I’ve earned over $10 for certain surveys.

1. SurveySpot $351.80 ($5 po) (Invokes) (Joined: 2008-01-30) ($351.80 received)

SurveySpot is my Number One favorite survey site because: 1) they have paid me the most money, 2) their surveys are frequent and arrive daily, 3) they are accurate in their estimated times of completion, 4) their payments arrive by check in four to six weeks, 5) they resolve all disputes quickly and even give you the incentive for any survey that you failed to complete for most reasons if you email them with the survey number, 6) they have a lot of interactive panels, 7) they offer paid product trials and 8) they do not use OTX. SurveySpot is now considering offering PayPal, which would make them perfect in every way.

I get more surveys from this company then the others I belong to, sometmes 4-6 a day. The website is simple and provides all the information you need. I don’t care for the compensation, although you are entered into their sweepstake contest even if you don’t qualify for the survey. I don’t receive many paid surveys which is a turnoff. A lot of the surveys are too long with no compensation but the sweepstake entry.

SurveySpot Survey Panel, maintained by Survey Sampling international (SSI) will undoubtedly get a place among the top 3 Survey panels. Anyone over 13 years of age is eligible to join their Panel.

I have been a member of this Panel since 11th March, 2008 and have so far in this one year, earned $623, as well as innumerable goods for household purposes to try, use and keep. Some of them are – battery-operated toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, face-wash, lettuce, sausages, soups, breakfast cereals, bath tissue, chewing gums, coffee, to name a few, the popular one being a brand new Samsung Instinct Phone. Even I got a number of Invoke Interactive surveys, each paying from $25 to $50, as well as I joined some online Communities through them. You can very well understand how you would enjoy doing their surveys.

They send surveys through email, some of them are paid and some unpaid. However, we don’t have to wait for their survey email to take surveys. By logging into our SurveySpot Account also we can start taking their surveys, and is more fun that way when we see paid survey links coming one after another. They almost always have surveys available to take.

The best thing about them is their reward payment is through checks and can be requested once the Account has only $5. Another best thing about them is that their compensation is always the best. If you take the same survey from another survey site also, they would be the one to compensate with an higher amount than any other site.

I joined Survey Spot in January,2009.At first things started out slow but that was mostly my fault.I didn’t complete as many of their surveys as I did for other sites because I was a little put off by the initial rewards,which were just Instant Win games.But once I started completing surveys more often,I began to recieve surveys with a monetary reward.I now recieve survey invitations on average 2 times per day and about 75% are for money.Their surveys are very good and interesting while not being overly lengthy.Survey Spot makes their cash payments in the form of checks that can be requested once a member reaches the $5.00 level.They also offer a Instant Win game for surveys attempted and/or completed that don’t have a dollar amount associated with.They seem to have some great prizes available although I have yet to win any.I recieved my first check from them last week.It took about 3 weeks to reach me after I cashed out.It was a nice check in the amount of $55.00.As a matter of fact,I did not even realize I had that much in my account until I check my balance about 4 weeks ago.This was to the fact that SurveySpot rewards can take a few weeks to post.Definitely a pleasant surprise.I would say that if you are interested in very frequent survey opportunities with a good payout,SurveySpot is for you.

I would not recommend this survey site. Half the time when they send you a paid survey in the email by the time you get to it the number of participants have already been reached and you can’t take the survey. Even if you do get the survey and complete it there is no guarantee that you will get your money. I have complete many surveys, some lasting as long as 40 minutes, then when I get to the end it tells me that more people than expected have complete the survey and I can’t receive my reward.
Also if you don’t regularly go to surveyspot’s website and fill out non-paid surveys then they will start spamming your email account with non-paid surveys and the frequency of paid surveys will drop to almost nothing.

Survey Spot has started to collect a lot of information and then bounce you out of the survey w/o paying you. They used to be a decent site now I would recommend staying away.

I joined Surveyspot just a little over a year ago.I honestly thought this site was a scam,Boy was I wrong. Since joining Surveyspot I have made quite a bit of cash. And also to boot, I have done numerous product testings. Who does not want to try a new product for free,get paid to use it, and get paid for reviewing it.Though many surveys you receive are not paid,points are given into a contest with numerous prizes. What have you got to lose? Nothing but a chance at making a little money, Everyone likes that.Check it out, you will not regret it.

They are true business people, they do not let you wait for weeks for your compensation, usually they send the payment before you know it. Quality of surveys is wonderful and a lot of samples to be tested, invitations have $1, $2, $3 in their title, you do not have to answer a lot of questions before you know if you qualify or be rejected, and their time rating taking a survey is accurate. I did not earn more than $120 in one year, but I really enjoy to make my opinion heard with them.

SurveySpot is the most legitimate Internet survey company out there, so I give them a lot of credit for that. SSI oversees the panel and they have a great reputation. The frequency and variety of surveys is very impressive and I love that you can just sign on at any time to take one. Some are more interesting than others. I’m sick of the travel and grocery studies, but like the new product and entertainment studies.

Be sure to take some non-paying surveys or you might stop getting offered the paying ones. I’ve heard that from several people.

Surveyspot is a good paid survey site. The quality of surveys are good and their 10 to 20 minutes long which is not bad. They do pay like $2 per survey, but if you do not qualify, they enter you in a sweepstakes which is almost impossible to win. I do get 3 surveys per week. I never contacted member area and support because I never had problems. Its really sucks for the young teens below 18 years because they can’t sign up . Overall its a good website and I recommend it.

I have been a member of SurveySpot for about 6 months now and I have already received 3 checks totaling $65. I also won a quarterly prize ($100 giftcard to Amazon.com). The payments are a little slow to be credited to your account and received by mail but that is really the only negative thing I have to say. You receive a TON of surveys, some offer cash rewards. Overall, I think its the best survey site around.

The ‘free’ and ‘paid’ ratio of this survey site used to be like 50-50 (maybe even 40-60).
But now it seems like it’s 90-10.
The free surveys sometimes take 30 minutes to complete, while paid surveys are 45 minutes.

Surveyspot is a legit survey company and they really pay check to me.they send many surveys daily(most of them are reward sweepstakes).Many of the surveys fill up quickly,so you need to hurry complete them.Survey Spot will send out interactive surveys and product testing opportunities as well,They pay anywhere from $10 to $50. Regular surveys generally range from $1 to $5.I had earned 300$ from them.

My only complaint with them is that they say offer Paypal as a payment option.i had wait serveral months but still not come true.

Survey Spot offers 3 ways to win; check,sweepstakes and instant win.i had never win sweepstakes.Hope next time i will be the lucky guy:)

So far I really like Survey Spot, and my opinion of them continues to improve. When you first sign up, you get a barrage of surveys for sweepstakes entries. I think that turns a lot of people off. It certainly did me. But as with most survey sites, the longer you stick with them, the better it should get, so I am sticking it out. I have seen a few paid surveys come through, and they seem to be getting better targeted to me. They have recently (like this week) updated their website and it is leaps and bounds better! You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but the new aesthetics certainly make you want to stick around the site longer. I have no experience with payout yet, but I don’t expect any problems. I can easily say that I get the most survey invites from Survey Spot. I see emails daily from them. Although there are a lot of sweepstakes entries at first, at least it’s something. And if other people turn away, it just increases my chances! I would definitely recommend putting this site on your list.

Well as the post above say, I am a fairly new member and I’ve been sent tons of surveys. So far almost all but one have resulted in sweepstake entries, which isn’t too encouraging but I will stick with it and see if it gets better, if not I’m probably out of SurveySpot just not working for me so far.

I’ve tried multiple popular survey sites, and this is by far my favorite! I receive survey invitations by email every day, and there is always a couple more waiting for me once I log into my account daily.

Even though you do not always qualify to take a survey (because their quota is full for that particular survey, you don’t meet the qualifications they’re looking for, or the survey has closed) they will still compensate you with a daily sweepstakes entry (I’ve won up to 100 entries once after taking a survey). Even though this isn’t the world’s greatest compensation, it is still better than nothing. And for those people that do not bother to take surveys just because it offers no points (which is the only thing that can be redeemed for money) it just betters my chances of winning the sweepstakes. =]

I’ve also found that the more surveys you take, over time, they will offer you more and more, especially surveys that reward in points. This could be just my personal experience though. Based solely on my personal experience, I have been a member with this website for 6 days now, and I already have $5.00 in my account and I’m half way to be able to redeem it. That’s the most I’ve ever gotten with any other website.

In closing, I would definitely recommend this site to anyone that would like to make some extra cash, especially with the holidays around the corner, that have a bit of time to spare every day. Just keep in mind you are not going to strike it rich, with this site or any other survey site out there. Any website that claims you will is a scam, so please be careful. Also always do your homework before you ever disclose personal information to a website that you know nothing about! So far I’ve tried out most of the surveys recommended by this site (the top ones anyways) and I can safely say that they are indeed legit. Be safe and have fun =]
