Trials & tribulations - Great Free Survey Sites: Never pay to belong to one

I think it"s about time I mentioned survey sites where you can earn some money filling out market research surveys. In my experience, the higher paying sites require you to sign up for some sort of trial of a product or service - not a lot of good if you, like me are in no need for weight loss products for example. Often you"ll be offered a free trial of the product but you have to submit your credit card number. This is not so great if you have a memory like a siv because at the end of the trial, money gets deducted from your account This is perfectly legal of course but you would have to be vigilant
The paid survey lists are only really any good if you live in America but for the UK there"s plenty of free lists of the main sites. Good ones include Toluna [see add opposite] where you can earn points which you can redeem for vouchers from various stores. You just sign up for free & you"ll be sent surveys pretty regularly, although as in my case you won"t qualify for all of them. You can also participate in sponsored polls where you earn points and even create your own on any subject you want I personally created quite a few on music for instance & received thousands of votes.
