Sign up for Partnership Plus
This is a great program that many rave about. It is easy to earn your points and redeem them, and they offer great incentives. The only thing is, you have to write down EVERY clothing and accessory purchase you make every month, and enter details about it, but it's really not that bad, especially for the incentives offered.
Thanks for your interest in becoming a member of Partnership-Plus! My name is Kim Sharp and I'd like to tell you about our exciting program.
Partnership-Plus is made up of people just like you who tell us about the clothes they get each month. Clothing manufacturers and stores use this information to study the kinds of clothes people buy and receive. Being a member of Partnership-Plus gives you the opportunity to make your voice heard and help put the clothes you like in more stores.
But that's not all! We pay you to tell us about your new clothing! At the beginning of each month we'll invite you to our site to tell us about the clothing you got the month before. In return for the valuable information you provide in each monthly clothing survey, we credit your account with Partner-Points, our way of saying thank you for being a dedicated member of our panel. Your points add up very quickly and can be redeemed for great cash rewards! Additionally, for every clothing survey you complete, you will automatically be entered into three Sweepstakes drawings and you will have the chance to win up to $5,000!
The information you provide is used for research purposes only. We will never try to sell you anything and will never sell your personal information to anyone else.
What are you waiting for? The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll begin making a difference and earning rewards.
First, I'll ask you a few basic questions about yourself and your household. If you qualify, I'll send you your member number so you can log in to get started.
To start now, just hit Continue.

Update on Opinion Outpost Payments
Opinion Outpost has been one of my top companies for the past year or so. There are always surveys to be done, and I can easily cash out many times in a month. I have, also, been thrilled, because I have been receiving their checks, usually within a week of cashing out. I just got news about their soon to come updated paying policies, however, and am a bit perplexed. They already started giving the option of receiving Amazon gift cards, instantly, upon cashing out, which is cool... but some of us really need the actual money. They'll still be giving money, but, I guess at the end of 2009, they're phasing out checks, and going, instead, to prepaid debit cards. Again, this could have advantages and disadvantages... there are fees with prepaid gift cards, although, according to them, the fees would be waived if you cash out at $25. The fee is only $1.50, but still... I would rather just get my check a week after requesting it, and still be able to cash out at $5, rather than waiting for $25.... OR... why don't they just offer Paypal???!!! It would be faster, more efficient, and it shouldn't matter whether we request at $5 or $25... I don't know... I guess I'm resistant to change, when something I like is already working fine for me...
Of course, I'll still stick with Opinion Outpost, because they are a reliable company, and they do pay as promised.... and, they do give you plenty of opportunities to earn that money... but, here's the "official word" from them... you decide...
We at Opinion Outpost are excited to announce two new and improved ways to cash Opinion Points. Ojae Barnes, Director of Opinion Outpost, explains how these upgrades will affect panel members.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are committed to offering you compelling rewards for participating in surveys. We will continue to look for better ways to say 'thanks' with our guaranteed rewards for surveys you've completed.
I want to share some exciting news about our up-coming reward options. Our popular Opinion Points program will not change (10 points per dollar) - however, you will now have more options for cashing out your rewards faster and easier than before.
Soon you will have the choice to redeem the full cash value of your Opinion Points for Amazon.com gift codes. The best aspect of this incentive is that you will receive your gift code instantly on screen and by email*.
Before the end of 2009 you will also be able to redeem your Opinion Points for a Citi prepaid debit card. You can either receive a virtual debit card or choose to have a physical card** mailed to you.
Currently we send a check in the mail to panelists for their redeemed Opinion Points. This process was slow and frustrating for everyone and we feel our new options will be a vast improvement. As a result, we will phase out sending checks as a means of cashing in points early next year. Of course, your point balance will remain unaffected through this transition.
We're excited about this improved offering for the Opinion Outpost community. If you have any questions, feel free to email our service team at panel@opinionoutpost.com. You may also call a representative of Opinion Outpost at (877) 254-1234. Or talk to us on Facebook or Twitter.
**If you choose to have a physical Citi prepaid debit card mailed to you, for any dollar amount between $5 and $24.99 a $1.50 charge will be deducted for the cost of the physical debit card. For any amount of $25 or more, we will cover this fee for you.

Harlequin™ Teen Panel
Harlequin will be launching a new line of Teen fiction books in the future. These books will be different from the books that Harlequin publishes for women today.
In addition to our new line of books, Harlequin has also just launched a Teen Research Panel for young readers ages 13 to17 who are U.S residents..
This panel will be similar to Tell Harlequin research panel in that it is strictly for research purposes and we will not try to sell your teen anything or sell their information to third parties. Teens will be asked to fill out fun quizzes; they’ll participate in discussions and will also receive FREE books (approximate retail value of $10-$15 per book?) and have a chance to enter into sweepstakes (with your permission).
If you have a teen who would be interested in joining our fun new panel please click below to find out more about Harlequin™ Teen Panel, and how your teen may qualify and register to be a part of it and how you may provide your consent to your teen’s participation
Once you have given consent as well as your teen’s email address, name, age and country of residence we will email your teen and ask them to complete our first quiz to see if they qualify for our panel. If your teen qualifies, another email will be sent to you with a link to our Panel Consent Form.
Thank You,
Tell Harlequin Team and The Harlequin Teen Panel Team

Tons of Surveys, Points Add Up Quick!
Well, if I must recommend one company that sends TONS of surveys, for maximum earning opportunities, that would definitely be SayNation. I, often, have several surveys each day from them!
Another cool thing about SayNation is that your kiddos can join, and earn themselves some rewards too, as they have both a teen panel and an adult panel!
Check it out, they'll keep ya busy!
Reliable, Thank God!
I've been complaining all month about not getting survey checks that I'm owed... it's been a really excruciating time! I just moved, so I am completely broke, and checking an empty mailbox every day really can get depressing!
I must say, though, one company really has come through and impressed me lately... that's Opinion Outpost. Sure, I've had my days when I didn't care too much for them, namely when a survey would have a glitch... but this site has become my "Old Faithful"! I can log in, pretty much every day, and have new surveys to complete. Payout is only $5, so I can earn that, just sitting there for a little bit, and immediately request a check. These checks have been coming in less than a week! That's outstanding, for a survey company!!! Granted, most of the ones lately have been smaller than I usually request, just 'cause I've been so broke, so I've been cashing out at $6, $8, $10, etc., but at least it is a relief to see that smaller check from Opinion Outpost than that depressing, empty mailbox! lol
Thank you Opinion Outpost... you've really helped this poor WAHM this month! :)
Dollar Surveys
Ok, so I've been up all night again (stupid insomnia), so I figured I'd do a few surveys to keep me awake this morning. I don't know why I went to DollarSurveys.net . Well, I do...
Pretty much every survey you do for them is a dollar. With some of them, that's not bad, but with others, like this morning, they're dragging on and on, and I'm thinking, "I'm doing this for a dollar?!" They do, however, often have really short ones, sometimes they pay a bit less, but it's something like entering your email address for fifty cents. I love those (as long as you don't use your main email account for this company), and they add up quickly.
The reason I KEEP doing surveys for DollarSurveys.net is that I love that immediate gratification... well, not immediate, but pretty darn close! They pay every week, and they pay by Paypal. With the month I've been having (just moved, have all those expenses), expecting all these checks in the mail, going out to the box every day, just to find it empty, these Paypal payments have been a sunny spot! lol
Anyway, it's a judgement call you'll hafta make... sometimes you do surveys that are too long to only be paid a dollar, but you do get that dollar quickly! Pretty much sums it up!
What do y'all think?

Round Table from Walmart
If you purchase and use Great Value brand products from Walmart, you can sign up for the Walmart Round Table. But hurry, because they are only taking 200 applicants right now - but will increase the number to 20,000 later on. Here is more info about the program that I received from Walmart:
We have an exciting new opportunity from Walmart’s Great Value team. They just launched a new site called The Round Table, which is a survey-based community for Walmart shoppers who buy the Great Value brand. Sign up for The Round Table.
The Round Table offers users the opportunity to complete surveys regarding Great Value products. Each completed survey enters the user into a monthly drawing for ten $500 Walmart gift cards. This is Great Value’s investment in listening, and represents their desire to truly understand how consumers view their products and their brand. They’re looking for your feedback on Great Value products – good or bad!
The Great Value team is focused on growing the community to 200 members in the next two weeks. At the end of that period, the first drawing will be held – which makes each member’s chance of winning in the initial drawing 1/20. Walmart hopes to grow the community to 20,000 customers by the end of the year.
So if you buy Walmart Great Value products, sign up for this one ASAP! You just might win a FREE $500 Walmart gift card!

Cashed Out Via Paypal With Mindfield!
I've been a member of Mindfield for years, always enjoyed it, as they send tons of surveys, and pay accurately and responsibly. The good news is, they're now paying through Paypal, or you can still have your standard check! I love the idea of Paypal, 'cause it means not having to wait on the postal system, and having a better idea of when you'll actually receive your payment. Mindfield is also giving away 2 iPhone 3g's and 1 Apple TV, and the only thing you have to do to enter is update your profiles, which is a good thing for you anyway, as it means more surveys for you!
