No fee to sign up, and you get a signup bonus as well. You get paid to shop, take part in cash offers/trial offers, and take surveys. You also get credit for referring others, as long as they get paid. If you remain a member long enough, you will receive gold membership. Only one survey per day is allowed, and each one is worth $1. Some of their offers require a credit card, especially when it involves trying and purchasing a product or service, and some offers require you to stay beyond the trial period to receive credit. You need to accumulate at least $30 to get your check, and there is a $3 processing fee per check. Checks are mailed on the first day of the month after you request payment. For example, if you request a payment on March 10, your check will be mailed on or around May 1. A similar scheme applies to SendEarnings, as they are both owned by CotterWeb Enterprises. Highly recommended, as I earned hundreds of dollars with both sites (you can register for both sites!).
CashCrate: No fee to sign up, but no signup bonus. You can take 2 surveys (@ 80c each) in a 24-hour period. Get paid for taking part in free offers, but some offers require a credit card. You can also get paid to shop, but there is a limited selection. As for the free offers, you become eligible when you see a screen that says "Congratulations" or otherwise tells you that you have completed the survey, which is more like an offer to subscribe to a newsletter or buy a product. In most cases, you do not have to buy the product to get credited-just keep on clicking and the money is yours. Such offers typically pay 25-75c each. You also get paid a commission by referring others to CashCrate, provided you have your own account.
Vindale Research: No fees to join, and you get paid to evaluate trial offers. These trial offers are either free or for a nominal fee, so you many have to use your credit card. Payouts are in multiples of $50.
LightSpeed Panel: No fee, but don't count on getting as many survey invitations compared to SurveySpot and so forth. Complete surveys, get points, and redeem points for merchandise or cash. Typical surveys are worth 75-200 points, but longer surveys can be worth as much as 1000 points. For an idea of how much the points are worth, a $5 PayPal certificate costs 575 points.
Creations Rewards: No fee, and you can take two surveys per day at 110 points each, get paid to shop, and get paid to complete trial offers and trivia. Points can be redeemed for merchandise
