I did a search, and this one hasn't been posted up yet, so I figured I would:

http://www.your2cents.com

I'm not sure how long ago I signed up for this one (not too long ago), and I haven't cashed out yet (cash out is at $5, I'm over that but haven't cashed out yet), but a thread on another deal site shows that they do pay out (usually takes 4-5 weeks apparently, but the checks reportedly do come).

You get $1-3 per survey you complete for them, and an entry into a sweepstakes if you don't qualify for the survey. Sometimes you can get a bonus $1 added after completing a survey for completing your profiles.

From the About Us page:

About Your2Cents Online Opinion Panel
The Your2Cents® Online Opinion Panel is owned and operated by Common Knowledge Research Services, a marketing research firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas that’s been in business for more than 15 years. Your2Cents is made up of over 1 million households in the United States and Canada that have agreed to participate in online surveys in exchange for cash rewards.

Your2Cents works with many of the nation’s top research companies and their clients – leading manufacturers, technology companies, retailers, restaurant chains and service providers – that want to learn more about people like you – their customers.

Rewards for Your2Cents survey participation

Be an Instant Winner with Your2Cents!

We value our panelists’ opinions, and to show our appreciation, we offer four ways for our panelists to earn cash rewards:

- Every panelist who qualifies* for and completes a survey is an instant winner of at least $1, up to $5. Some surveys offer higher instant winner cash rewards!
- When a panelist attempts to take a survey, but does not qualify* for the study, he or she is still rewarded with an entry to our $5000 cash giveaway and/or a small cash reward.
- Panelists can increase their instant winner amounts by completing the member profiles. Each completed profile (there are 6) is worth an additional $1 over and above any instant winner amounts. If a panelist has completed 6 profiles, then he or she will earn an additional $1 the next 6 times he or she qualifies for and completes a survey!
- As a thank you for joining, new panelists are entered into our $5,000 cash giveaway!
- Panelists can easily track the status of surveys they’ve attempted or completed and cash rewards earned to date by simply logging in to view their personal account using their user name and password.

* Some research studies seek to gather opinions from people in a certain age group or who have prior experience with a certain product, for example. These surveys will ask a few qualifying questions up front in order to determine if a panelist meets these qualifications. If a panelist does not meet the qualifications, he or she will still be rewarded an entry to our $5,000 cash giveaway and/or small cash amount as a thank you.

How to participate in Your2Cents surveys

Giving Your 2 Cents is Easy!

Here are two ways Your2Cents makes it easy for panelists to participate in online surveys:

- We understand that most people do not frequently check their e-mail and lose out on great opportunities to earn money. With the permission of each individual panelist member, we will notify panelists of survey opportunities via alternate means such as cell phone text messaging, voice mail, and instant messaging technologies.
- We allow panelists to start an online survey and pick up where they left off at a later time. If a respondent loses their connection or needs to log off and complete at later time, he or she can simply return to the survey site and log in. The panelist will be returned to the page after the last page submitted.

They are a good paying site. Can be a bit slower to send out surveys but they do pay.

I have been paid by them, but it been a very long time since I last had a survey from them. I check my survey history in the three years I have been with them I have only recieved 6 surveys, and qualified for 2 LOL.

I received an email last week that said they were way behind on sending out checks. They told me to expect a 4 -6 week delay. Ugh! They owe me 4 checks and I put in for them a month ago. I was really counting on these checks for Christmas!

Just a heads up on them, I just got an email about a 60 minute $20 survey, sat through the full hour, then got a lovely "We're sorry, but an unexpected error has occured" screen at the very end.

I took screenshots of the screens indicating that I'd completed the questions (verifying that I'd watch the video) and was eligible to answer the questions complete the rest of the survey, and I've sent them an email about it, so we shall see what happens. If you get this email, make sure you get a screenie of the "You have qualified to complete the rest of the survey" page, imo.

Yeah I didn't qualify for that $20 survey either. Ahhh well.

Looks like I've made $16 with them over a 4 month period. Not the greatest, but hey, it's $16. I'll take it.

Ugh, so I've sent two emails as well as called their 1-800 number and left a voice mail, and still no response yet beyond their auto-response email, so I'm going to assume that the $20 isn't going to happen. Not the end of the world, but wow, pretty annoying.

Never once has customer service responded to my emails. They have really bad customer service. I have never had an issue like yours. I hope everything works out for you though. If you ever hear from them let us know. Good Luck.

Thanks for bringing this back to the new posts... I haven't received any opportunities from this company in a long time, and pretty much forgot about it until I saw this thread again. I logged into my account, and had an $8.00 balance. Not much, but I cashed it out and I would have continued to forget about it if I hadn't re-read this :). (Apparently, I have cashed out with them previously as well.)

Everytime I get a survey it says that I will be an instant winner of $x.xx - $x.xx amount if I complete the survey. I've noticed that I ALWAYS get the lowest amount offered. Does anyone know if it's random as to which amount I'll get?

I don't make loads of money with them but I do get an occasional survey. I'd say I've made about $20 since joining in November. I cashed out for $16 on 4/19 and it said it would take 6-8 weeks. It does bum me out though that I never get the maximum amount offered for a survey. :no:

Did you have to be signed on to the website while you were on the phone answering questions or what exactly did this involve?....just curious :)

They mailed me a packet of info to look at. I didn't have to look at it before hand, but it was to be used during the session. I got that on Tuesday. Yesterday I got my email with login info for the website.

About 5-10 minutes prior I was to log into the site and then call the number as well (so if you had dial up you would need a cell phone to use). There were 6 of us that called in -- of those only 3 of us were chosen to actually complete the session (the 3 not chosen still got paid the $75). There was one person we spoke with on the phone and we were told there were 2 other observers that were listening in but would not participate.

It was very simple. They first played a commercial for us to listen too and we had to rank it. Then they showed us the same info we had in the packet on the screen and we had to look over it and rate it (they sent the info because some of the stuff was too small to read on the screen). We would type the ranking into the chat box on the screen (1-5 scale) and then we would take turns discussing why we ranked it that way and what appealed to us.

It was interesting. I really enjoyed it. He said they had 4 groups and we were the last so they recorded us so he would have a reference for the report he was compiling. He also said he was very glad he recorded us because we were the best of the 4 groups.

Well of course you were the BEST!!! Thanks so much for the information... I have never done a web/teleconference and wondered what all you had to do, sounds very interesting and I suppose the hour went pretty fast with all the other people involved. Yay, that will make the Christmas fund a little bigger. :D

My $75 showed up today in the account and I cashed out. However, they usually about 6 weeks to mail checks out. But that is okay. I am sure I will be happy when it gets here. lol
