How do I get paid for taking online surveys?

Survey companies offer various rewards to panel members for taking online surveys. Most survey companies on my Paid Survey Lists offer Cash rewards that can be paid via Check or Paypal, and some companies pay cash through prepaid debit cards.Gift cards for popular retail stores and Amazon Gift certificates are also popular choices of compensations. Other forms of rewards include prize and merchandise as well as sweepstakes entries.

Please note: for some survey panels, members earn “points” for taking surveys, and points can be redeemed for cash and gift cards/amazon certificates. One of the reasons for this is some panels reward members “points” (usually a low amount) for trying to take the surveys but disqualified as a way to compensate members’ time and effort.
