MySurvey - Review

MySurvey is an online paid survey website that can trace its origins to the National Family Opinion (NFO) organization started in 1946.

Originally, the NFO collected opinions via the postal service and through telephone.

In 2001, NFO launched MySurvey’s website to both digitize and expand its survey taking reach worldwide.

In 2010, MySurvey was acquired by Lightspeed Research (a global provider of custom market research and analysis).

In 2012, according to MySurvey’s own website, it rewarded more than $15,108,454 to its worldwide members. Today, it is one of the most trusted and reputable online research panels on the web.

Some of the key features of MySurvey’s panelling system include:

• Provides rewards in the form of direct cash, PayPal transfers, Amazon gift cards and other gift cards (as many as 63 available gift card options).
• Uses a point based system which can be later converted into cash and other prizes.
• Processing time for payments are around 4-8 weeks depending on the reward method.
• Requires a minimum redemption balance (or cash-out) of $10 (or points)
• The average survey pay-out ranges from $0.5 to $1.25.
• Surveys vary in length with their short surveys lasting for around 5 minutes each (or equivalent to 10 points). Their standard surveys are valued at usually around 1000 points.
• Offers fun and interesting surveys to complete.
• Contests are available for all members to join. Additionally, MySurvey also features product tests that provide higher rewards.
• Members are rewarded with extra sweepstakes options simply by logging in.
• Registration for the panel takes around 5 minutes and requires inputting personal information.
• The panel is open to those in the North American, European and Oceania regions.
• Available for those aged 14 and above

Ranked #1 on www.getpaidsurveys.com’s list of its Top 24 paid survey websites with a rating of 4.3 stars out of 5 based on a total of 83 user reviews.

MySurvey has been around for a very long time. It is arguably one of the web’s oldest paid survey websites and has been continuously operated online since 2001.

Almost all of the surveys found on MySurvey are its own and not linked to any other partner paid survey panels.

As a consequence, the surveys tend to be much better designed and laid out. A number of users have reported the panel’s surveys to be well-written and professional in tone.

One user mentions how MySurvey’s surveys have “not too many questions with too many answers required on too many products or redundancy.”

MySurvey’s product tests provide higher rewards than its normal surveys. Another unique feature not found on other panels is MySurvey’s “online usage diaries” which records the frequency and quantity of usage for select products and services.

If a member does not qualify for a survey, they are informed of it rather quickly.

Conclusion

MySurvey has established and cemented itself as one of the internet’s oldest online paid survey panels.

Ever since 2001, it has continuously established a profitable relationship between not only its contracting client companies, but also between its millions of users – most of whom remain generally content with MS’s services.

Despite the steep points required to cash out the $10 redemption (1000 points), the inordinately slow processing times for payment transfers, and the reports of survey progress being frozen, MySurvey’s reputation in the online survey community remains high.

Ranked as the number 1 online survey panel on Get Paid Surveys list of the Top 24 paid survey websites, MySurvey remains a high quality destination for enthusiastic survey takers – though the website’s rating system is questionable considering how panels like Toluna are positioned so highly at number 7 on its top 24 list.
