PandaResearch

---

Panda Research is the flagship survey and cash rewards website of A&A Marketing, Inc. The vast majority of Panda Research’s paid opportunities are surveys, so it’s not an ideal site if you’re looking to play games or watch videos like you can with Swagbucks.

When you take a survey with Panda Research, you can earn between $1.50-$3 each for 10-15 minutes of your time. While there are some surveys that will pay you up to $40 on Panda Research, these are few and far between, so don’t expect them often.

With Panda Research, you can only withdraw your funds once you reach the $50 payout minimum. Additionally, before your payment is processed, you need to call a verification number and speak to a representative. Then, your funds are placed on a 30-day hold and will be paid out either on the 1st and 15th of the month.

InboxPays

---

InboxPays is a cash rewards site similar to Swagbucks where you can earn money in exchange for time spent completing simple tasks. On InboxPays, you have a few ways to make money. These include:

• Clipping coupons
• Referring friends
• Reading emails
• Trial offers
• Spinning wheel

Clipping coupons and reading emails on InboxPays is pretty similar to what you’d do on other sites. You can expect to get a few cents (usually $0.02-$0.05) for each activity. The spinning wheel, on the other hand, is just a luck-of-the-draw activity where you can win big prizes in the jackpot sweepstakes.

When you refer friends on InboxPays, you end up getting 10% of their earnings when they cash out. So, if your friend makes $40, you will have $4 deposited in your InboxPays account.

As far as the trial offers go, you should be very wary of anything you sign up for on InboxPays. Most of these offers involve that you enter your credit card or PayPal information to get up to $75 in rewards on InboxPays.

Once you have $50 in your account, you can claim your payout. Currently, InboxPays will only process your reward through PayPal and will never pay you more than $50 at once. So, if you have $75 in your account, you’ll get $50 and the rest when you accumulate your next $50.

instaGC

---

InstaGC, despite its name, has nothing to do with Instagram. Instead, InstaGC stands for “Instant Gift Card,” which is what you can earn on the site

InstaGC is a rewards site like Swagbucks where you can get a gift card in exchange for completing a small task. These tasks include:

• Testing apps
• Completing surveys
• Testing products
• Watching videos
• Surfing the web
• Referring friends

For every task you complete – the vast majority of which only take about a minute – you receive a handful of points. Most tasks will only earn you between 10-50 points, each. Every point is worth $0.01, so you’re earning between $0.10-$0.50 per task.

Once you accumulate 100 points ($1), you are eligible to claim your rewards. You can choose to redeem these points for a gift card, or you can cash out through PayPal, Bitcoin, or prepaid Visa credit card. But if you choose any option other than gift cards, you have to pay a 15-25 point fee.

SurveySavvy

---

SurveySavvy is a paid survey site where you can earn cash money for your opinion. SurveySavvy is owned by Luth Research, LLC, a market research company that’s been active for over 40 years.

You have three main ways to earn money through SurveySavvy:

• Paid surveys
• SurveyConnect app
• Referral program

When it comes to paid surveys, you can earn between $1-$3 for every survey you complete.

The SurveyConnect app, though, is a great way to make easy money. You make $5 per month for downloading it to a single device. You can download it onto your smartphone, laptop, and tablet, which will earn you $15 a month for a total of $900 a year!

Plus, their referral program is one of the best in the industry. When you directly refer someone to the site, you get $2 every time they complete a survey. If your direct referral refers someone else to the site, you also get paid $1 every time your indirect referral completes a survey.

The downside to SurveySavvy is that you only have one payout option: paper check. While you can claim your payout at a minimum of $1, you’ll still have to wait for the check to arrive.

MOBROG

---

MOBROG is a German market research website that pays you actual money in exchange for your opinion. Unlike many other sites that are only open to US residents, MOBROG allows members from 60+ countries, so it has a very international feel.

Anyone with a MOBROG account can take surveys on the site for cash. But, there are no other options to earn on MOBROG besides surveys.

Each MOBROG survey will be worth between $0.50-$3. However, the amount you get paid depends on the length of the survey. You will know upfront how much you are going to get paid so you can always decide if a survey is actually worth your time.

MOBROG has a very low payout threshold of just $4, so you don’t have to wait to get your reward. Currently, they only offer payment through PayPal, but there is no waiting period like you’d find on other similar sites.

Rakuten (Bonus Site)

---

Rakuten is similar to Swagbucks’ shopping category. It’s also definitely one of most popular cashback websites out there.

To date, over 12 million Rakuten members have earned more than $1.7 billion collectively in cashbacks!

So how did they do it?

• Rakuten offers a cashback card with an extra 3% cashback included
• The Rakuten Button Extension is available for finding the best deals while shopping online
• Cashbacks are offered by more than 2500 stores
• Get cashback when you shop in-store at your favorite retailer

I don’t know how I shopped all those years without Rakuten…

Anyways, rewards can be redeemed via PayPal (minimum of $5) or a check (min $5) can be sent to your home address.

Prolific

---

Prolific surveys come from 3000 researchers and 500 academic institutions, making them more interesting than the run-of-the-mill surveys about occupation or income typically found on Swagbucks.

Prolific states that you will be paid a minimum of $6.50 per hour. So, if you complete your survey in 10 minutes, you will earn at least $1.08.

Plus, you need to reach only $6 in order to cash out your earnings via PayPal.

From my experience, you will get around 2-5 surveys per week, so you will not become rich from this website alone, but it can definitely help you earn some pocket money.

Paidviewpoint

---

Paidviewpoint surveys are short, and they pay up to $2 a survey.

Unlike the Swagbucks site, this site does not have a survey disqualification award. So, once you are invited to fill out a survey, you will receive the promised cash.

It’s worth mentioning that they use the patent-pending Trustscore for their surveys.

Trustscore was invented to monitor survey participants’ behavior. People who answer quickly and do not take the time to read the questions will most likely not be invited to participate in many surveys.

Take the time to answer the surveys genuinely, and you will qualify for more surveys and earn more money.

Once your account balance reaches $15, you can collect your earnings via PayPal.

YouGov

---

YouGov is a popular online survey panel known for providing members with a wide range of quality survey opportunities. To date, YouGov boasts 2 million members in the United States and another 6 million worldwide.

After signing up, you can get started right away by filling out a profile survey, which will earn you 2,000 points. Once you have completed the profile survey, you need to wait until you receive an invitation to complete other surveys.

These invitations are sent out based on your demographics information, so it may be days or weeks before you ever get a survey offer. After every survey you take, you will receive a certain number of points, which varies from survey to survey. While some surveys pay 10,000 points, others will offer just 5,000, or even less.

Once you earn 35,000 points, you are eligible to withdraw your funds. On YouGov 35,000 points is the equivalent of $25, so $1 equals 1,400 points.

You can claim your YouGov payout in a number of ways. This includes PayPal, charitable donations, movie vouchers, gift cards, and even Visa prepaid cards.

These are all great Swagbucks alternatives. I recommend signing up with at least a few of them to maximize the number of surveys you can complete or the deals you can receive while shopping online.
