Opinionate

Do you have an opinion? Would you like the opportunity to influence the latest consumer products & services? How about helping to impact the direction of future political or social policies in the UK? If so then Opinionate is a great paid survey site for you to join. Opinionate offer a good selection of paid survey opportunities and these are sent to you via email once you complete the initial registration process which take between 8-10 minutes. The rewards for completing paid surveys through the Opinionate site are excellent and you should expect to receive anywhere between 50p and £6.50 for each and every paid survey that you complete in full. Sometimes this amount is higher if the paid survey is particularly complex or lengthy. Opinionate state that the paid surveys they offer range between 3 and 20 minutes in length and we have found this to be quite accurate. On average our experience are paid surveys that last about 10 minutes in length. Once you have accumulated £10 you can request payment which is made either directly through pay pal or gift certificates for lots of well known shopping places like Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Virgin Megastores, Homebase, Boots, M&S and a whole host more. You also have the option to make a charitable donation from your earnings to one of the registered charities who partner with the Opinionate site.

Opinion Bar

Opinion Bar conduct research on behalf of many large multinational organisations and corporations including MSN, Canon, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Nike, EBay, WWF , Unicef and a host of other international names. You are eligible to join Opinion Bar if you are 14 years of age or over and the site is available to UK and most international countries across the globe. In addition to offering paid surveys, you may also be invited to participate in a wide range of other paid activities such as testing the latest products at home, viewing unreleased Movie and TV trailers, or game related paid surveys which are hugely enjoyable. The variety of paid activities is excellent, interesting and makes a change from just participating in paid survey questionnaires. Opinion Bar states that paid survey and activity payments range between £1 and £10 and this appears to be accurate, as we have had paid surveys at both ends of the scale. What’s especially great about the site is that you are paid in cash rather than vouchers or entries to sweepstakes and the payment threshold is very low at just £10.00, meaning that you can get access to your earnings more quickly. All payments are made via BACS directly into your bank account or you can choose to make a donation to a registered charity. Opinion bar also have one of the best online help and FAQ sections to answer all other questions you may have about the paid survey site.

Test Spin

Test Spin is a highly attractive and user friendly paid survey site with an international emphasis. They provide a range of paid activities from paid surveys, focus groups and product testing. They help provide consumer feedback on a variety of subjects from the testing of individual products and concept designs, to gauging the reaction of members to movie trailers. There is doubt that member views and opinions are used to directly influence future developments or help organisations understand where they might be going wrong. Test Spin have a fast registration process that takes a few short minutes and once completed you will start to receive relevant paid survey or paid activities straight away. Each paid survey invite that is sent out normally involves completing a 3 question screener questionnaire to confirm your eligibility for the study, but you can ensure an increased chance of progressing if you have completed your personal profile section in full at the start. You do not need to attend focus groups in person as these occur online via a forum which is supervised by Test Spin research staff and often involves around 7 other participants. You will typically be paid between £2 ($4) and £15 ($30) for your participation in various activities through the site, but all rewards are clearly noted prior to commencing a study. Once you accumulate $10 (£5) in your account, you can redeem this for Amazon gift certificates, which provide you with access to a wide source of products. We like the fact that Test Spin have such a low payment threshold and it encourages more paid survey participation in our opinion. Test Spin also seem to be quite quick with crediting your account after the completion of paid activities and this usually occurs within 30 days.

What I Buy simply require you to input information about your monthly purchases, which they then aggregate with other members with a similar demographic profile as you and present to companies. These companies then use this information to help make improvements to products and services that are offered to us, as the consumer. What I buy are keen to point out that they never pass on individual buying habits which could be abused, but rather they may present it to a company as “35% of women aged 20-30 in the United Kingdom purchase a tin of Heinz soup every month.” All members are rewarded with an entry into a monthly prize draw where they can win £5,000. It really doesn’t take a lot of work to participate each month and it’s good fun.

They offer short “household surveys” of between 2 and 5 minutes in length as a screening process, which are unpaid.
