    Online surveys for money?
    I see a lot of "take online surveys and get money" things... I know some of them are scams, but are there any that are real?

    And if so, would you please direct me to where I can find them? I'm a full time student on financial aid and do not have time for a job, but I do need extra money. Any help is appreciated!

    I use www.acop.com

    Its american consumer online opinions, though I am in the UK! But be warned, its not exactly big money, I get £3 per survey (about $5) and only take them about once a month, sometimes you get a bonus £10 or sometimes £50 if you do a particular survey for a particular company, but as a rule you don't get these very often!

    Its not a scam either. As a rule of thumb, if you are asked to pay anyhting at all, it's a rip off, even post and packing. I don't pay a penny to do my surveys.

    The only one I know that's real is globaltestmarket.com each survey you do gives you between 5 and 100 points, the points are used to enter contests or 1000 points can be redeemed for $50.00 USD, a friend on mine actually got a $50.00 check twice so I signed up.

    But it does take a while, they email you when your profile matches a group requested for a survey. Most surveys give 65 points and take about a half hour and you get one about every week. BUT if you don't take the survey within a few hours of receiving the email it will be over by the time you click the link

    I have heard of ACOP, but I don't know if ACOP is a scam or not. I do agree that if one has to pay anything to do the survey it's a rip off.

    I have heard of globaltestmarket, but have not used it.
    I use survey sites that also give members points as well for either money or merchandise.
    What this poster said about it takes a while to get surveys and to try to get points is true. I know in my sexperience just because I got a survey to take it didn't mean I would get the points that it said the survey was worth. I also have tried doing surveys before and been told they don't need anymore participants or something like that.
    If you want to try some survey sites out try www.opinionoutpost.com or Welcome to MySurvey! Opinion outpost gives you money in a check and My survey gives you either a check for $10 once you have 1,000 points or a merchandise item that is offered on the site. I hope this response is helpful.

    Can you afford not to have an extra £10 or more per weekTAX FREE? You have nothing to lose and everything to GAIN. http://myconsumerintel.co.uk/account.aspx?t=X&r=dbe8dc8f-9aa6-41bb-9740-e68eb5064695
