Surveys for Money

Online survey takers are often interested in taking survey for money and will often not become a member of a survey panel who offers any other rewards except cash for taking a survey. While in theory this is a fine attitude to have, some survey takers miss out on rewards they have obtained via things like gift cards rather than spending the money they earned through survey taking on the same products. While there is irony in this approach, often consumers are unclear on why survey companies can’t just issue cash directly for taking a survey instead of setting up points systems.

One explanation for this is currency fluctuations and how many survey companies offer the same survey to be taken to people living in various counties. This makes it difficult to calculate exactly how much money survey be awarded to take a survey, so assigning it a points value makes this process simpler.
