I am completely on the fence about this concept.
For one, I have been using Sunshine Rewards for a few years and have often tried to take advantage of their online survey opportunities. Well it seemed no matter how hard I tried, I never, I mean NEVER qualified for the surveys they offered! It was so frustrating that after a few days, I gave up and vowed to never do another survey attempt.
Plus, I don't always like to give out that much information on an online survey (i.e. I never give our annual household income out!).
Anyway, I signed up for a new website to earn points on called Swagbucks. You can earn points for watching videos, playing games, filling out a daily poll, signing up for offers, searching the web and, of course, surveys.
I earned a few hundred points for watching some videos and searching the web but nothing too exciting. A $5 Amazon gift card is about 450 points so I was about to abandon my attempt at paying for our diapers this way, when I decided to just TRY out the survey.
Well, just as Sunshine Rewards, I didn't qualify for any of them. The nice thing about Swagbucks is at least they give you one point for trying to qualify.
Well today I had a breakthrough. I decided that for one week, that's 7 full days, I am going to attempt to do all the surveys they offer. So about the first eight of them I didn't qualify for. Then I saw a new one pop up and I jumped on it quick. The thing with surveys is the quicker you can get to them, the better your chance to qualify.
Well, it was a big survey... 400 points... and I GOT IT! I was so excited! And then, I got another one worth 100 points! It was so exciting seeing my points go up so quickly!
I still can't say I'm totally sold on the whole survey thing. Maybe next Wednesday, after my week of surveys is over, I will feel differently (depending on how many I actually get I guess!)
Do any of you do surveys? Have they actually worked out for you as far as the earnings go? I would love some feedback!
