I have been readin throughout he forums as I need advice on which company to join to take surveys. I am still a little confused as to which are the best cash paying surveys and points surveys. I am home all day so I have loads of time to do as many surveys as possible throughout the day.
Please Help!!!

Try checking out Maximum Paid Surveys. They are not free to join, but they are the best in my view, and one of the most ethical.

Feel free to check out my blog where I track which sites have paid me. It could be a very good start as all of them are paying sites (that are all free to join and completely legit). there are about 40-45 sites on there

There are a lot of great companies out there that offer payment for surveys. You'll want to sign up with more than one company (that's survey or researcyh company! Not a company selling access or database to the surveys. There is a lot of great FREE information out there to get you started.. don't pay for lists!).
Curious why you listed Greenfield Online, BigMoneyPro. They have a great reputation for paying (I've been paid!) and they are one of the more popular actual survey companies-- not a membership site, like the others you listed. Did you have a problem with them?

Greenfield is notoriously SLOW and has gone to doing more and more sweeps entries...but they are a legit site. You just have to be willing to take the good with the bad with them. The good news is that from time to time those sweeps entries ones lead to higher paying interactives.

The Survey site in my sig is a very underated site. Like the posted said above there are a lot of quality survey sites out there that will pay you for your opinion ,but there are also Survey sites that promise you a lot but not not deliver.

What does RSA stand for? I have a list of the legitimate survey sites on my website (no email harvesting or offer or PTR sites)
There is really no highly recommended site because everyone has different demographic needs. The one that sends me the most surveys might not be the one that sends you the most. You just sign up for all the legit ones you can!

Hey,
I'm from the UK and I've just started this survey madness - 4 weeks in and no cash in hand as yet. I'm writing a blog of my exploits, more because I like writing than anything else - trying to keep it a little lighthearted. I'll only be putting sites on that pay out...don't click on any of my links to sites that I suggest unless you want me to be the referrer, they've all got my user id associated with them. I don't like this backhanded stuff on some of the dodgier survey sites. Anyway, I did some research and have a few tips as to how to get started...I've signed up for about 70 sites and get about 10 surveys a day for which I qualify for about 50%. I found some very good honest websites listing the best paying survey sites, surveystar (HappyGal above) and surveycritic to name a couple. Just nice people I reckon. Sign up to the ones they suggest first and see if you like doing surveys. Anyway, if you can't be bothered to go see my blog (although a recent survey of one says you should) then my top 10 tips are:
1. Sign up to as many as you can, because although they pay small, if you save the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves
2. Get a separate email address because you will got loads of emails (no spam for me yet surprisingly enough) and you don't want to lose that invitation to tea from your mum in amongst all your survey stuff
3. Get a Paypal account - I think it will make getting paid easier and you'll able to keep track of all that cash that comes in. OK, you'll be able to see when you reach a tenner.
4. Be honest in your replies. Don't create multiple profiles like a prat.
5. Be creative in your answers when you have the chance - it makes it much more interesting.
5. Don't give up your day job
6. Do it because you're primarily interested in making some extra cash, but also because you want to have an opinion that is heard and occasionally you may even get a chance to test some product or other. Like nose tweezers.
7. NEVER EVER pay for any of these things over the web. My opinion is that if you do, you deserved to have your ID thefted. Nicked. Schtollen. Which I can imagine is a real bugger.
8. Check your email regularly and do the surveys you receive asap. From what I've read of other people's sites, the more reliable you are, the more surveys you'll get, and the more times you'll be able to take your loved one out for a nice meal.
9. Get roboform to fill out all the registration forms. Otherwise it can a bit dull when you're asked if you have pets for the 50th time. Also use the same userid and password - it just makes life easier.
10. Keep records, of what surveys you've done, since I've also heard that some are a little less willing than others to pay out.
Have fun and good luck.

Update on the survey front:
10 weeks in, and approx. �100 earned. It's not a great rate/hour but it's something. And that's not all cash in hand. Some vouchers, some points that haven't reached a pay out threshold yet. But no spam, and I'm quite confident that all the sites I've signed up to are genuine. It's my 6th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and my wife and I are going out for a nice meal, so it'll pay for my beer and her taxi home.
I don't think I'll make seven. Just as well, I've heard it gets itchy.
My self acclaimed hilarious blog (survey of 1) will be updated with a review of my most favourite surveys, together with the pros and cons shortly. AFter reading mine, you can go to
www.surveycritic.com or happygal's or Katie's Hugs above for honest lists of the best.
The best for lil' me so far are (based from the UK so most are UK sites):
Lightspeed (paying at the speed of light)
I've got 11 quid from them so far from about 11 surveys I've qualified for. Interesting surveys, lots of invites, pay via PayPal.
YouGov
Always qualify for surveys, pays in cash, but high pay out threshhold of 50 notes. Good referral system.
Valued Opinions
Pays cash. 10 surveys invites so far. Qualified for three. Moderately interesting.
Ciao
and many, many more, but I've had a few glasses of wine and really couldn't list them all without falling asleep. I get about 7-10 surveys a day and qualify for about half. My top ten tips for survey beginners are somewhere above.
So my experiment continues. It appears not to be complete baloney.
WH.

Quoting: BigmoneyPRO Pandaresearch.com Greenfield OnlineSurveyshine.com PaidSurveysOnline Vivaresearch.com
Greenfield does pay. - they sometimes can be slow, sometimes very slow, but they do pay. I have been paid by them many times.

I joined CashCrate 2 months ago and I have received payment by check for the offers I completed. I was really skeptical about it so I only completed enough offers to reach the minimum $10 payout before wasting a lot of time on the surveys. After I got my first check I started a blog to share the information about the site and post photos of my paychecks. I have joined other sites but this is the only one I have received payment from so far besides PineCone Research.
Good Luck!
