I am a senior citizen who enjoys learning about new products and giving my opinions on my purchases. It stimulates my brain while giving me extra cash. My favorite survey site is Quick Rewards, because they seem to pay more and faster than most, and their customer service is easily accessible and always friendly and helpful. I have been a member for over 5 years, and the extra income has paid for 2 vacations (one a cruise), holiday gifts, and it is such a relief to know that I always have extra spending money if needed. It warms my heart to know that they are family owned and operated too.

Swagbucks is a legit site and they have been online for about a decade if not longer. They used to give you more rewards for searching than they do now. Now they are pushing surveys constantly and not everybody is in a good demographic that's in demand by marketers. I do earn Amazon GCs with Swagbucks, but it isn't as fun and the website is absolutely overwhelming with the number of ways to earn. I find that I can earn more for some surveys through other sites that are more interactive with their members. I'd rate Swagbucks a solid, "Meh."

Long time MyPoints member, and I am saddened to see how this site has fallen over the years. They have always been able to devalue what you earn after the fact by simply raising the number of points required for a particular redemption. This is a business model that works great for them, but not so great for their loyal members. I wish I had cashed out years ago, because I can no longer afford the gift card I wanted. Shame on me for not being more vigilant and cashing out sooner. I won't waste my time on this program to have my points devalued again.
