I have received a couple emails from readers asking of reputable survey companies and more importantly if they should pay to join…NO! Don’t ever pay to join a survey company. The companies I list below are ones that are legit and I personally use. I use to do a lot of surveys from all different companies and made extra money from home (this is what I recommend doing because if you are using a few different companies, you are bound to make more money). Just set up an email just for your surveys.

Now you’re not going to be able to quit your job, or become a millionaire from doing these but it’s always nice to get checks in the mail, free gift cards, and some extra gas, grocery, and shopping money!!

Synovate – I LOVE this company and this is most people’s favorite! This one is great because they will send you products to test out and keep for FREE!

Under One Roof– This is a very cool new community created by HGTV, Food Network, and Travel Channel where you can share your opinions, thoughts, and ideas about topics related to home, food, travel and more! Plus, you earn points for rewards by participating in surveys and discussion forums.

Another great survey company called My Survey is now open for survey takers.  By sharing your opinions about products and services, you are rewarded with Reward Points to redeem for cash and merchandise.

Surveys.com: All you need to do is provide a few details about yourself (it takes just a couple minutes) and periodically you’ll be asked to answer a questionnaire that will be sent to your email account. For each questionnaire that you participate in, you will earn points good towards a large selection of rewards. The more surveys you participate in, the more points you’ll earn!

And then of course there’s Swagbucks…this is a GREAT way to earn gift cards, cash to your Paypal Account and more just for searching the web. You can see all the detail in my post here! I am currently saving my Amazon gift cards earned from Swagbucks to pay for all of Christmas next year!
