Last weekend, I received two phone calls from survey companies. One is from GfK (Growth from Knowledge, the 5 market research company worldwide.) and another one is from WB&A Market Research. GfK asked me many questions about financial institute. It took me about 15 min to finish the survey. WB&A asked me some questions about my car insurance. Of course, they have to get your permission to proceed the survey. If you are not interested in the surveys, you can say NO and they will not bother you. After 2 days, I came across a financial blog which said that he got paid (a $75 check) by surveysavvy.com by taking online surveys. This post makes me think about how to get paid by taking surveys? As I have already taken two short surveys without any rewards. Time is money! I did a lot of research online. Then I found it’s really possible to take surveys and get money. Although the amount is not so huge, it will give us some free buffets. So I joined surveysavvy.com last night. Here I want to introduce the new way to get money other than from banks. There is nothing to do about your credit history!

SurveySavvy is part of Luth Research, LLC., a market research leader since 1977. Based in San Diego, Luth Research, LLC. has conducted countless interviews, focus groups and surveys for their clients. They have over 3 million members across 190 countries earning cash by participating in their online paid surveys.

I have seen a lot of positive reports about this survey company. Some websites rate it as the NO. 1 place to take surveys. The payout is also very impressive, usually $2 to $30 for each survey (Based on the length of the surveys.). As I have mentioned above, there are millions of members. How can you be specifically targeted to participate in the surveys? Here are some tips for you: 1). Put your job as computer or information science related; 2). Put your position as a manager or business owner; 3). Always say “yes” to the first few questions before they send surveys to you; (You might get a few screeners every month.) 4). Take every chance they send out to you. 5). They send out the surveys based on demographics. You can redeem the earnings at anytime without minimum requirement. At last, you can refer your friends to join this program. (Click there to take the chance.)

Try to get money other than from banks. As you may have heard a lot that most US banks are reporting loss in the third quarter, not to mention Citi. I have become more and more dissatisfied with Citi. Even at day time, I will get an Indian customer service representitive. This is really bad!
