I’ve tried a number of survey companies and most of them are very similar. Many of them pull their surveys from Greenfield and you earn some kind of points or credits by doing them. While those surveys are fine if you want to accumulate money or rewards over time, my favorite survey company is MySurvey.com (sometimes called NFO Surveys). What I love is that once you get into their system and prove yourself, you can start getting products to try. Most of the products are brand new and some are not even on the market yet.
This year alone I have tested makeup, household supplies, and even snacks. In one case I was given a month’s supply of a household product that is name brand and generally pretty expensive. I’ve loved some of the products and hated some of them. In either case, I got to try them for free. For reasons of confidentiality, I can’t disclose the products that I have tried or the brand names. But suffice to say that these are major companies with things you use everyday anyway.
Although you do get points that you can exchange for cash or prizes (I cash out for about $100 a year), I would do it just to try the products. I love new things, but I hate spending money on them if I am not sure if I will like them. Take a chance on signing up with MySurvey.com. Take their surveys for a few months and if you take it seriously and do them regularly, you will start getting to try out new products for free as well.

I love My Survey! I have been able to test out a few products over the years, mainly shampoo, laundry detergent, and lysol-type wipes but it has been fun and I love the free stuff.

I love my survey for the very same reason. It’s great getting to try products.
