Since I spend quite a bit of time doing surveys, naturally this is my discussion topic. When I first started doing paid surveys back in like 2008, they were very straightforward. Black text on a white screen. Answering yes and no, demographics, and so forth.
Now it seems paid surveys have gotten a lot more interactive. Some will have you play games, go to an interactive online shopping store and go "shopping", have you do the survey on your smart phone.
Now I am noticing a popular trend....I have been rejected from quite a few surveys that required you to have a webcam. If I had a webcam I would prbably not participate. This seems a little too high tech and big brother-y for me.
Have you run across this or anything else while doing paid surveys, good or bad? Would you do a webcam survey?

Most surveys that I have been on are scams.Can you tell me some of genuine survey sites that actually pay you?

Never a webcam and about done with surveys. They treat people poorly.

Sorry to hear that. You do have to be wary of surveys versus "offers". Offers are usually the ones that ask for personal info and then sell it to third parties so they can spam your phone and email. But actual surveys very rarely ask for your address and do not use it for marketing purposes but usually just to send you a check or even sometimes a product testing. What is Bit Miles all about? Have you gotten paid from them?

I had gone through paid survey sites like in.toluna, in.ipanelonline, opinionworld,clixsense,etc but never got paid. After survey either disqualified or the dialog box that their is another better survey for you.
