What are the best pay surveys out there?
My favorite is program is Pinecone Research, but I also am a member of Hotspex, Lightspeed Survey Panel, ClearVoice Surveys, SurveyLion and HarrisPoll Online.
What are your tried and tested survey sites and how do they rank compare to others?

GlobalTestMarket is definitely NOT A SCAM! ive been a member with them for a few years now and have probably been paid at least $250 from them so far..probably more but i dont keep a running tally.

I don't think you can consider GlobalTestMarket as a scam because of the high payout, they have paid many members. They have complaints on the crediting of MarketPoints because of the release of their new survey engine. Members should have gotten the email. Here is what the email stated:
[b]Dear GlobalTestMarket member,
On October 1st, 2008, GlobalTestMarket released a new survey engine. In the process of transferring large amounts of data to the new system, we have unfortunately experienced slower than usual processing times which has caused some unexpected delays.
Please rest assured that we are recording your MarketPoints and survey activity in real time, and that your account information will be current and consistent throughout shortly.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding during this time.
Sincerely,
GlobalTestMarket[/b]
As you can see the letter is for October so the points may not have showed up correctly then but should be correct now. I was credited my points that I had earned but it did take some time for them to register. I just joined back in August I believe, but haven't done many of heir surveys. I have over 400 points in my account and need 1000 points to cashout. Their point system isn't that bad either.

I tend to stay away from any pay programs with high payout levels for a reason...
Check out some comments from the Survey Police website under GlobalTestMarket:
[Quote from psymonb, Oct 26 '08]
"I managed to reach a total of 935 points without any problems before they simply refused to credit me anymore. My account is well over 1000 by now and I've sent loads of emails with no help. This site is a complete scam."
[Quote from Heather, Oct 14 '08]
"I've been taking surveys from them for the past two weeks and have not received any points at all! They actually took away some of my Market Points!I had 280 and now 195! I also emailed them twice...hopefully this matter can be resolved.and no response either time! I filed a complaint. I don't recommend them at all!"
[Quote from Ian, Oct 12 '08]
"They were a good company, 4 months ago. I cashed out and recieved a check for $50. Recently however I have had no end of problems.First points weren't benn added to my account,but that was resolved. Then when I finally reached 1010 points I imediately cashed out.All well and good? NOT AT ALL!! Even thoughthey sent me a confirmation email to say I had cashed out, 3 days later when I wentto check my account I was locked out.3 days after that when I finally got into my account my balance was down to 990....even though the new surveys they are sendingme say I have 1010. They have basically negated my payment and reduced my market points so I can't cash out again....I'M SO MAD!"
There are plenty more comments like these. Anyone can let me know if they would like to see more or you can just read them at SurveyPolice.

I've tried only once, AWSurveys. But they say that it was a scam and not legit. So I've stopped. And besides, it does not offer enough surveys.

I have never heard of AWSurveys before. I have received payout from all the survey sites that I have listed and I recommend them. Check www.surveypolice.com/ for reviews and info.

I am fan of Bayern Munich too. I like the football team. What player do you like most of the team ?

You can't go wrong with Bundesliga football. Bayern is stacked with talent, but my favorite player is Miro Klose. Schweini has a wicked cross though...

Opinion Outpost has been a good one for me, although now I am having trouble getting enough surveys to actually make any money. It's pretty easy to make the minimum, though, which I think is $20.00. If anyone would like a referral to that site, PM me your email address and I can send you one.

I think that most marketing research firms have been dealing with a reduction in the need of the services due to recession. I am a member of several survey sites and I have noticed a reduction in the number of surveys that I receive from all of them. Fortunately, I am still receiving surveys and I am still earning some money.

I visited their site and I checked out the FAQ page. This company charges $25 to use paypal or alertpay when accessing funds! Payout is at $75!!! I won't loin a program which conducts business using these type of practices. Thanks for posting and I am glad that you will post back to let us all know how you made out.
