Doing Surveys for chump change!

I have been doing online surveys for few months now and usually whatever money I get out of it goes towards buying books or stuff...

Am not an expert but I have had enough frustration with couple of survey sites and that's motivating me to rate the sites so others are aware..

Good :

• Pine Cone Research : They usually send you few qualifying surveys and if you qualify usually, you get about $3.00 for every survey you complete. I have got several checks in the mail.
• LightSpeedPanel : You get several surveys during the month and everytime you qualify and complete the survey you get points and points can be redeemed for paypal or gift cards. I have cashed out for few gift cards.
• American Consumer Opinion: They usually send you few qualifying surveys and if you qualify you, usually get between $3-$5 for every survey you complete. I have got few checks in the mail.

Worst :

• My Survey : You waste your time doing surveys and you almost never qualify.
• Survey Spot : Lots of survey but you never qualify for cash, only towards sweepstakes entry.
• ClearVoice Surveys : 1-2 surveys a month and they pay you anywhere between $0.25 to $3.00
• I Think Inc : 1 -2 surveys a month and they don't pay you more than $2.00
• GreenField Online : Several surveys a month and most often when you get to the end you get a message stating you didn't qualify. Go figure!
  

My recommendation is to find a reliable site and one that pays cash(atleast $3.00 or more) for your time.
