I know that Christmas is 11 months away. But if you start now, you can have a good pile of cash to pay for Christmas presents! I’ve had other Freebies2Deals readers tell me that they do surveys all year long and have enough to pay for their entire Christmas!! Awesome, right?
If you want to earn a little side cash, you will want to sign up for as many of the Survey Companies as you can. They all send out surveys at different times and if you are working with a bunch of them, you will always have surveys coming in that you can do. Take the surveys when your kids are napping or in your spare time and start saving your cash for Christmas!
PLEASE NOTE: The surveys listed below are companies that other F2D readers have said they use and love. Any that haven’t been that great were taken off this list long ago. **If you know of any other awesome survey companies I should add to this list and can vouch for it, please leave a comment and let me know!
Here is the current list of Survey companies that have openings:
- Springboard America: (Just Opened!) Earn checks, gift cards or donate to charity with the points you earn for taking surveys.
- Opinion Outpost: Earn Cash or Amazon Gift Cards. Everyone who does surveys is automatically entered to win a $10,000 Cash Prize.
- Toluna: Earn $1-$5 per Survey. Plus, they have sent out FREE full-size products in the past for members to review! Upcoming products to review include Nivea Products, Makeup and more! They will mail you these products in return for taking a survey about what you think. Then, you get to keep the products. It’s awesome!
- Inbox Dollars has spots open: You will get paid to take surveys and do other things.
- Vindale Research: You can review products and take online surveys. And they will pay you for your time!
- Valued Opinions: You can earn free stuff and rewards just by taking time each week to take the surveys. You can get up to $5.00 per survey you qualify for and take.

I am in the process of signing up for opinion outpost and am shocked at the detailed information they want me to give. Not only where I live, but what car I drive, how many are in our household. Is this really safe??? Why the need for that kind of information? I can see they would need my address to send stuff to, but the other stuff they want is freaking me out.
Whitney D.
They ask these kinds of questions so that they know which types of surveys to send you. I currently use this one and Valued Opinions (my favorite) and do very well. It’s completely safe. I have never recieved phone calls, mail or emails from these surveys. I recommend it!
Whitney D.
I currently use Valued Opinions (have for years) and absolutely LOVE it. You get paid almost instantly for each survey and when you redeem a gift card you get it the same day in your email. I have been able to pay for Christmas using these gift cards for the past two years; this year will also be covered 100%. It’s totally worth it!
kayla
does anyone know which of these you don’t have to qualify for the survey…? i did one a while back and i would do a 3 minute survey to find out i didn’t qualify and not get paid anything…
Jennifer Phillips
How Awesome it is to have the freebies website and get free give a ways!!!!
Teresa C
I just started up with the Valued Opinions. We will see how it goes. 10/20/2014
Sandee
That’s amazing you pay for Christmas with these gift cards….about how many surveys do you have to take a week to be able to do that?
Heather H
I use the surveys on Swagbucks to get my gift cards, I love surveys!!
Debbie
I signed up for the Pinecone Research months back when it reopened. I was surprised at how many surveys were available and how little time it takes. Thank you for letting us know about these openings. Easy to do when you have a few extra minutes. I really have had no problems with this company.
Linda
The extra money would come in really handy for Christmas gifts!!
Kaeloni
Another way to earn a little extra is to donate plasma as well.
Nicla Dolar
Thank you for this post! I have done MyPoints for years but am excited to try something that looks a little more promising.
Kandace Zobell
Thanks for posting this! I have already earned some extra money for Christmas!
Rochelle Yates
I’ve been doing mysurvey for over 10 years. I also do Vindale, Global Test Market, Toluna, Ipsos and a few others. I get so many surveys a day I can’t do them all. But I get test samples all the time (diapers, kitty litter, lotion, toilet paper, etc.) I also get around $1000+/year. Would be more if I did all the surveys. I’ve never had any problems, and I like have my play money. I just took our family of 6 to see Blue Man Group on Saturday and it was completely paid for with survey money!!!
Carol
Rochelle, I just signed up with Vindale and when I took the tutorial survey it was all about car insurance, it kept saying don’t take it unless you want a quote, but there was no other “tutorial” survey. I did not even finish the survey and an insurance guy called me 2 mins. later wanting to give me a quote! Is this typical? Also, do they want your personal info before every survey?
Thought I’d just ask someone with some experience… thanks.
Off to a rough start!
Kristy
I love mommy talk surveys. Easy to use.
Sara Brown
Thank you so much for the list. I have heard of and seen many of them. There was a few I have never seen or heard of before.
Trisha Bailey
I do value opinions and ipsos surveys. Both are really good but ipsos also sends out full samples to try and give your opinion on. I’ve been doing it less then a year and have already tried 3 different products. I love it.
Kimberlee
This post is very helpful. After having surgery earlier this year; bills are still coming in and money is super tight. I will try a few of these surveys and see what I can do about the mounding bill pile. Thanks !
Jessica panter
Wow, these are some great ideas. I have not tried any of this but will now look into it. Thank you for sharing
Jill
the myview surveys is great! they always have a lot of different surveys that you can try.
Melissa
Thanks so much for all the info! I am signing up now! 🙂
Jandie
I have used Myview before and earned a few gift cards. Pretty cool!
Jamie
Interesting, I can’t wait to give it a try!
Ashley
Sounds like a great plan for earning $! I, however, have only tried MySurvey. I found that many of their surveys are quite long and it takes quite long to earn enough points for cashing in for rewards. I would probably try another site before them.
Cassie Sanderson
I have done them in the past, just a bit busy to sit down to do surveys. . . loved it when I did these and had more time.
Emily Lowder
I currently do Pinecone Research and I really like it. The surveys are only on things that I’ve said I’m interested in or use, and they are explanetory (sp?) and easy. It’s nice to get $3 to click some buttons! And they send out a lot, so the money that can be made is sweet 🙂
Melissa
Also… on my Android smartphone I downloaded the Google Opinion Rewards app. It’s usually quick surveys done right on the phone. The rewards are paid in Google Play credits, which I’ve used to download books and music to my phone. Since I signed up 02/07/14, I’ve earned $32.69 in Google Play Credits!! It’s not a lot, but it helps with my eBook addiction! 🙂
Beth Enk
Thanks for the info and the positive feedback. I think I’m going to give it a try.
Cristal
Really helps with x-mas.
jessica
can always use the extra funds. Thanks for posting. I also use Swagbucks to get gift cards and its free as well 🙂 learned about swagbucks from Freebies2deals!
Toni
I don’t have time to do a lot of surveys but, I was able to earn over $100 this year with the few surveys I do a week. It is a great way to earn a little extra cash for Christmas.
Lindsey Wright
MYview is my favorite out of all of these surveys. My points add up way quicker then the other sites.
Natalie LeBaron
For a first timer, which is the VERY best to get started with?
Jessica
I-say surveys has been a really good one for me. I use it all the time. I also really like my surveys and valued opinions.
Andrea Williams
I am a member of a lot of these sites and while the payout isn’t super fast it does add up and the money I get is used for fun stuff that we wouldn’t normally get. It is totally worth it for a few minutes a day.
Natassja
I do Pinecone Research and LOVE it!
Debbie Seethaler
I am always wondering what I could do, to earn christmas cash. I’m going to try this out.
Jodi Wilkey
Sounds good.
Shannon
I have never done surveys, but I am super interested. I could definitely use extra cash for Christmas. Will let you know how it works.
Korina
Who doesn’t want more money!
Wendy
thank you
Jill
i learned about swagbucks from you and have earned $400 from amazon this year without too much effort! Thanks so much. Free Christmas for us!
Allison
I already do an opinion survey through email, but will check into some of these.
Mary-Ann
I’ve joined several opinion survey polls. Thank you for posting the information regarding the different companies. I don’t think I would have found them without you.
Heather Johnson
Love extra cash! Thank you for always posting these openings, I have joined a couple of them now with your tips! Thanks!
brandy
I do surveys for a couple of sites. I start right after Christmas and cash out the first of November. It pays for a big portion of my shopping.
Brooke Tokanang
Thank you for all your hard work! Your post help me score some awesome deals!
Melissa
I love it when you give tips on making money as well as saving it on purchases! Thanks!
Erin Moyes
Thanks for the great ideas. I’m new to your site, but can’t wait to start saving some money.
Shannon E
Great idea! I have tried these before, but wasn’t very diligent about it.
Deborah
Thanks for the ideas!
Jamie
Thanks for letting us know all this wonderful info. I like Inbox Dollars because if you don’t want to do surveys you can still earn by reading emails(simple click through), searching the internet, printing coupons or doing offers that you would have done anyway without earning money!
Heidi
Thank you for posting this. I have been stressing about how I’m going to make the holidays work, and am willing to try an idea from someone reliable. Thank you!!
Elizabeth Brinton
These are great ideas! Thanks!
Lacy Hilton
You make this so simple! Thank you!
