Reward Surveys

Compare Reward Survey Companies
Some paid survey companies offer rewards and gift vouchers instead of cash for taking paid surveys. The principle is the same though - you register with them, take surveys and get rewarded with points which can be exchanged for gift certificates from popular retailers like Amazon.

What's it all about? Businesses across the globe need feedback on their products, adverts and websites to make them successful. Many pay market research companies to ask their members to complete surveys to get that feedback.

What's in it for me? If you become a member you will be sent relevant surveys about your buying habits, new products, TV adverts and movie trailers. You get to give your opinion to influence business decisions, and you get rewarded!

The companies below all offer gift certificates and vouchers as rewards. We also have a list of paid survey companies that offer cash rewards.

Reward Survey Companies

Toluna

Toluna is the site that lets you voice your opinion and learn what other people think! By completing surveys you get points, which can be converted in money vouchers, ipoints, or discount vouchers. It's a great community site and could earn you a few pounds - very roughly speaking 60,000 points convert into a £12 cash voucher for shops such as CDwow, HMV, Debenhams, and to a £10 voucher for Amazon.

You can do loads of surveys and polls and you get rewarded with points for a huge range of things you do on the site. A survey can pay 5000 points, it's hard to say how long on average they take though.

Free product testing! Register, apply for product testing and if you get selected you get to test products like the iPhone, new cameras and home cinema systems, then keep them afterwards free of charge!

This isn't a conventional "job" - but it may help you earn some more money on the side. As a member you'll get invited to take lots of surveys etc so if you do have the time, and you don't have anything else to do (and aren't earning enough money!) then this is really worth giving a go!

Reward TV

Reward TV is a really fun survey company. They reward you for playing trivia games about TV programmes! Here's how it works:

  1. Register
  2. Watch your favourite TV shows
  3. Answer questions about the TV shows
  4. Earn reward points
  5. Redeem points for high street vouchers

This is fun way of earning high street vouchers for watching your usual evening TV shows!

Google

Number one of Google's core values is "Focus on the user and all else will follow."

We are actively seeking adults in the UK aged 18+ to participate in Google user research. You can help us create products that will make life better for you, your friends and your family.

If you're asked to join a study, we might have you try out a product we're working on or tell us what you think about the products you use every day. Studies can take place in one of our Google offices in Kings Cross or Victoria, or even in the comfort of your own home via your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Once your study is complete, you'll get a thank-you gift such as a MasterCard gift card and more importantly, have our eternal gratitude for helping us make Google products the best they can be.

For every survey that a panelist completes, the Valued Opinions account will be credited (up to £5). When the account balance reaches £10, Valued Opinions will reward the member with a gift voucher for a broad range of well-known high street and Internet shops.

Getting Started With Paid Surveys
Taking paid online surveys is very simple:
  1. Register with a legitimate paid survey company
  2. Fill in your profile information
  3. You will be sent paid survey invitations
  4. Complete the paid surveys you want to and earn reward points
  5. When you reach the minimum threshold, choose your gift certificate / voucher
  6. Your reward voucher will be posted to you
Survey companies match your profile up with the type of people their clients are looking for, so the number of surveys you will be sent will depend on how many survey companies you register with, and how many of their clients want your views. If you want to earn decent rewards from taking surveys then we'd recommend registering with a few of them (3-4 or so) to ensure you get a steady flow of survey invitations each week. You don't have to complete them all, so it's better to have the option!

On top of taking paid surveys, there are other legitimate work from home jobs we can suggest, including freelancing, website user testing and selling your photos online.
