It depends on what company you are dealing with. I do surveys for http://pandaresearch.com. I haven't redeemed my money yet. But, so far it seems fair. It hasn't cost me anything. My dad does surveys online too. He earns points and uses them to buy things and for travel.
A company could not make a profit by paying strangers to answer questions about products they have never even used. If companies want to administer surveys, they can get actual customer feedback for free by including a link and phone number on receipts.
I'm not sure why there are hundreds of posts a day on this website about taking surveys for money. I've never met a person in y life who makes a living doing that.
Many companies allow remote employees (technicians, consultants, sales, etc.) to work from their home, but you have to have a skill and experience. Most of them require college degrees. When I was a software product manager I would work from home frequently, but I was in a professional position where I had over a decade of experience. A teenager with no work history will not find a job sitting at home on a computer.
If you want to make money, you must get off the couch and WORK.
Everyopne is told they won, or they are the 1 Millionth vsotor, has your friend recenved the iPad.
Usually to even have a chance of collecting you have to sign up for about 13 different product trials, etc. after you spend significant money they usually find some excuse to reject your entry.
They are legal or in some cases illegal scams.
Only idiots think they're real.
It says its no cost & I have a friend who won an ipad for free. I like surveys but I'm not sure of me giving them my address...?
