Survey Companies Accepting New Applicants


If you are looking to earn a few extra bucks to spend over the holiday season, you may want to apply to take surveys.  Synovate and Pinecone Research are said to be the two best companies as far as earning money by taking surveys.  They are now accepting new applicants and I would suggest that everyone who's reading this apply.  Not everyone will be chosen.  They are usually looking for a specific demographic to make sure each survey group is well rounded.  I have applied but have not yet been accepted but that doesn't mean you won't be.  UPDATE:  It seems I was accepted by Synovate and I received and completely my first survey today (9/9)!  I'll let you know how it goes from here at a later date!

I am involved in Nielsen Home Scan.  They send you a handheld scanner to record any purchases you make.  You then transmit the information once a week.  You earn points for each weekly transmission.  They also have survey opportunites you can earn points for.  If you take all the surveys you are offered and transmit your purchases once a week, you can earn bonus points.  These points can then be used to receive items from their catalog which is full of everything from small appliances and electronics to toys for the kids.  It can take awhile to earn enough points to get what you want but in general it's pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it.
