I will say that I have heard of both good and bad experiences with paid surveys being used as a way to earn money. The majority of what I have heard about taking online surveys for money has been bad, with the general tone being that it is low pay or takes forever to get any response or paid.
One of the sites that seems to be plagued by both good and negative comments is GetPaidToTry, an online survey site for those who want to earn money to complete surveys. GetPaidToTry says that they will not charge members any fees, however, they do point out that some of their features do require a credit card number. This seems, from what I have gleaned, been required by some of the offers that people were sent.
In doing a bit of research online about the website I saw both good and bad reactions to the site. The majority of the negative views seemed to pertain to slow customer service in relation to trouble with payouts that were in need of being sorted out.
Overall, from what I have read, the site is an email based service that will send an average of 1 or 2 e-mails a day with the average pay for those e-mails being a quarter, sometimes up to $20 or more for completing offers. I have not joined the site due to time constraints, and would suggest that anyone interested in getting paid to take surveys do their diligent homework on the programs and decide for themselves if it is for them.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.
I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.
Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.
If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.
Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
