American Consumer Opinion is one of the best survey companies I am a member of. I do not get many surveys from them but the ones I do are well-paying and concise. They often send out very short screener surveys and then if you get chosen for the “big survey” you know you’ve qualified.

I have blogged in the past about surveys and how much I enjoy doing them as a supplement to my income. You won’t be told before taking a survey that a product test will be available. You have to take the survey first and at the end they ask if you’d like to try the product. Checks are mailed timely and I love that!
