Opinion Outpost adds more options

Opinion Outpost recently started offering additional surveys for anyone who either does not qualify for a survey. The options are unlimited and you determine whether or not you want to stop. So, the bottom line is you could take 4, 5, or even 10 surveys from them in one sitting.

Just a reminder, Opinion Outpost works on a points system. You can redeem your points for an Amazon.com online Gift Card with a minimum of 50 points for a $5.00 credit. Or, you can request a check with the same amount of points and the same pay out (50 points for $5.00). Checks typically take 4-8 weeks for processing and delivery.

ISay is now Ipsos i-say!

Ipsos i-say is a super introductory survey company for anyone interested in getting started. Their surveys are easy to understand and pay well. One of the features I love about their site is the opportunity to play Poll Predictor. The game is simple, fun and interactive. All you have to do is answer a simple question that gives you entries into a weekly prize drawing. The closer you come to a correct answer, the more entries you receive.

The rewards program is simple. Each survey earns you reward points. Once you have 50 or more points, you can redeem them for for merchandise or gift cards.

Remember, with all survey companies, they want loyal members. Make sure you try every survey they send. Even if you are rejected you will find more surveys coming your way that earn you points. Good luck!

Keep Your Options Open!

Once you get started taking surveys lots of opportunities to sign up for other offers start pouring in. Weigh each offer and sign up for the ones you find most interesting. I recently started with AC Neilsen's Homescan, a consumer panel that tracks what you purchase, and have found it very interesting.

The program requires you to sign up and then your name is put on a waiting list under the "Reserve Status Waiting List".  Homescan then randomly selects households to join. Once you are accepted you will get a handheld scanner (and a lot of other information about the program)  that you use to scan the barcodes from products you buy for your family. It doesn't matter what you purchase since the whole purpose is to track everyday consumers preferences.

Homescan is truly an easy way to share your opinions in the marketplace. As part of the program you accumulate points to spend on a variety of products from a special catalog Homescan provides you. The products or rewards include small appliances, children's items, electronics, recreation products, kitchen items and travel items to name a few. 

The program starts you with a 1000 points and you get additional points on a graduated scale for weekly, monthly, and yearly transmissions. You can also get points for answering surveys and joining their online panel. (Mac users beware: the online panel is only for PC users)!
