Hello,

For all of the survey folk, have you everwon any of the cash prizes or gifts that these companies offer. I belong to several survey sites and many of them put your name in a drawing for cash or a gift if you do not get a monetary reward.

Any big winners out there?Edited by: fiestebrown

I won $10 from Greenfield a couple years ago. I don't really expect to win anything big, but I've used points I've earned to get a new toaster oven, an Amazon gift card, a few small things like a stapler and magnet clip for the fridge. I've got enough points saved up on a couple of sites that I'll be able to pick some nice rewards soon. And of course, I've gotten plenty of free stuff to test, love that!

No, I haven't won anything other than bonus points on any of them. Last year, I received two products to test, and I just received my first one for the year yesterday.

I've won $100 from two different companies. NPDOR and IPSOS.. the npdor win was before they went with the new format.

I have gotten $5 from the Anne Parks survey.

nope, I have gotten incentives for taking surveys, but havent won anything.

I've won $100 a few years ago. Can't recall which survey company it was.

I hope I can win $100 or more!!!

I've been taking surveys for a couple of years. I still have to win something, but I have received a few checks/paypal deposits. The biggest was $50, that wasn't for one survey, it was cashing points in.

I have not. As others have stated, I have received several products to test. I don't expect to get those prizes. I would rather have the money (now) than to win sweepstake entries.

I won $100 from a drawing with Zoompanel about 6 months ago. It was such a surprise. I didn't think anyone won any of those drawings.

You are really limiting your earnings.. at least 80% of the surveys offering a drawing are just screeners that lead to the higher paying studies.. So in other words it might SAY you will get into a drawing but at the end of the survey if you take it, you might be offered a product test that PAYS... most of my paying studies come from taking those screeners that say you will only be entered into a drawing.

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif Got it....thanks for the tip. I will try a few of them and see where it takes me. Survey Spot sends entirely too many surveys with entries on a daily basis. I really don't have time to devote 15 to 20 minutes for sweepstake entries. I am a full-time PhD student, mother of 4 year old and military wife, I have to balance my time.

However, I am a quick study.....I "get it". http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I won $1000 from Home Testing Institute September 2006. It was neat, I got the letter stating I won on my DH's BD. After I signed the affadavit and w9 ( I think that was the form) and returned it, I recieved my check in the mail about 2 weeks later. Now I make sure I fill out every survey opportunity they offer. I just mailed out one of their surveys today.

Congrats! on winning $1000. How exciting!! I never heard of the Home Testing Institute. I must take the time to look them up and add them to my list.

Thanks for sharing. It's always good to know that someone actually won these things.

I have a an old family friend who takes surveys and she is always telling me about great stuff she gets.

She's gotten several large monetary awards and several really good prizes, like game systems and digital cameras. However, she does surveys all day long, every day. It is more than a full time job for her.

I don't think I could do that all day like she does, but there are really prizes to be had, and the truth is, the more you do, the better your chances at getting some big bucks are.

Great tip I will have to remember that.
Thanks Jackie73

Yes, I have in fact. $1,000 from Planet Panel, an ipod, and between $5 and $100 from ACOP to name a few. But most of my earnings do come from just plain old paid surveys.
