Aussie Online Surveys

HI I count 17 ?????? Sorry I’m a newbie and just looking for info – Thanks Clarie
Hi Clarie, you are right there is only 17 listed, i removed a few panels as i didn’t think they were worth joining.
Just an update where down to less than 10 now if anyone knows of any good survey sites not on my list let me know.
Hi, just wondering what websites are the best for actually earning money? I would like to be able to transfer it into my bank account and use it as cash as I don’t shop online. Thanks 🙂
Hi Bree,
Octopus Group and Pureprofile would be one the most popular sites that pay into your bank account.
Hello, i noticed you said you can transfer money from PayPal directly to your bank account? So all the sites that pay to paypal would be just as effective as being paid into your bank acc like any other “normal job”?
Im wanting to do some work from home, online, as i have preschool aged children and am a stay at home mum. How much do you think would be a reasonable average income from doing paid online surveys per hour, and would your list of paypal friendly surveys up there still be your top recommendation? Thanks so much, Day.
Hi Day,
Online Surveys are not a job, but more of a hobby, you can transfer money from PayPal to a bank account, it takes a few days for your money to be transferred into your bank account.
The income you earn from paid surveys is not a lot, but sometimes you can get products to try and you may get invited to a focus group through a online survey site. Focus groups can pay well. You get paid per survey if you qualify not per hour. Some survey sites pay $1 for a 10 minute survey, sometimes you can get lucky and do a 20 minute survey for $5 it varies a lot. Its best to join as many survey sites as you can, but never pay for list of survey sites. Then see which survey sites work best for you.
You should sign up to mint surveys, an Australian company I’ve recently come across. Plenty of opportunities to earn & they pay fairly well. Payment in the form of physical coles-myer gift cards, have been a member for about 3 months and just received/used my first redemption. Im going to prioritize this site from now on, should be able to cash out $20-40 a month!
Hi Henry,
They are part of the ORU Research unit, my account with them got unsubscribed a few year back don’t know why, I will sign up again and see how it goes now.
Hi Henry,
I am doing well with Mint Surveys, I already have claimed 2 redemptions. I have added a review about them to the site. Click Here to read my review of Mint Surveys
Great to hear you are doing well. Im also doing well on mint survey even though im investing little time! Hope it keeps working for you.
Hi Henry,
Its going well with Mint Surveys only drawback is the only reward option is physical Coles Myer gift cards, which take a while to be sent.
how long does it take to get points so you can get paid?
u say for each site u have to get a certain amount of points in order to get for example $20
to paypal. so how long does it take to earn those points?
Hi ddssa,
It varies, on most survey sites i have listed i get a Payout every 1 -3 months. To be more successful in earning enough for payouts from Survey sites try and compete surveys as soon as you receive them and join up to all the survey sites on my list and see which ones works best for you.
What happened to Mint..on your previous recommendation ages ago I joined them..did the profiles and received two surveys..one of which they credited, the other I’m STILL waiting for..I’ve emailed them twice with no response…Are they still functioning??? if not what do they do with our information??
Hi shirley kim,
Mint are still functioning, but i have also seen a slow down in the number of surveys they are sending.
What do any of them do with our information??? There’s a lot of trust here
Hi shirley,
The survey sites on my list are all genuine and i have received a payout from all of them, they use your information to send relevant surveys to you, You can check each survey sites privacy policy before signing up if you have concerns.
Can we withdraw cash from our paypal account? I am newbie
Thanks.
Hi Sherlyn,
Yes you can withdraw cash from your PayPal account, you just need to link your PayPal account to your bank account.
I joined Octopus group after seeing good reviews but am yet to hear from them. I am wondering what you suggest as the best survey group ( and most genuine) as of 10/3/2017.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Salena,
Make sure you log into Octopus Group every day to see what survey opportunities are available.
My favorite survey sites at the moment are Pureprofile and Purkle. Ipsos iSay and Purple Patch are also pretty good but I don’t get as many surveys from them. Its best to join as many as you can on my top 20 Australian Survey Sites list and see what works best for you.
Been doing surveys for a few years now, but went through a major cull of sites over the last year. I used to do any surveys I could get but now have a minimum standard of pay that is a minimum of $1 per 10 minutes. So I canned opinion world and toluna, and I’m finding I’m still making about the same because a lot of those surveys end up on my other panels with a much better pay rate. I also picked up purkle and octopus group thanks to your site. So far am very happy with purkle and octopus group at least they pay well just don’t have many surveys.
Octopusgroup seems to pay very well, I just finished a 12min survey and got $ 3.60.
Has anyone any experience with Mint Surveys Australia. Are they worth joining?
Definitely in my experience if you are happy with coles/Myer vouchers as that’s their only reward option. I probably cash out 1 $20 voucher every month. Surveys pay reasonably well and you also get points if you screen out. I’m not sure why it’s not in the list above. I would rate it way better than toluna or global test market.
Hi Mary,
I would join Mint Surveys, but as Naomi says your only reward option is Coles/Myer vouchers, they take about 6 weeks to send which is a bit annoying, but normally i get a voucher every couple of months.
Are there any other Paypal paying survey sites that are credible, specifically those who payout fast and is easy to redeem for the transfers?
Hi Yubi Nathanials,
Swagbucks pays through PayPal and takes about a week.
ySense also pays through PayPal and takes less than a week
Hi, another survey panel is Triaba: https://www.triaba.com/au. Pays by Paypal
Hi proffens,
I will check out Triaba.
Hi I am just looking into doing surveys and am not sure who to go to in Australia a lot of the sites I have looked at are in USA. I am looking for gift vouchers at the moment as I am a bit unsure of how to go is this the best way for privacy I tried Valued Opinions but they say they are not taking on anyone new right now. Hope you can help me.
Hi Tina,
Some Australian based survey sites which pay with vouchers include Octopus Group (Highest paying survey site in Australia) Mint Surveys (Coles Myer Vouchers only), Survey Village, Pureprofile, YourOpinion, Purkle, LiveTribe and Cafestudy. Valued Opinions is now owned by Dynata and is no longer Australian based and is no longer recommended.
Hi I have tried surveys in the past but not successfully and am interested in trying again. I am interested in sites in Australia and for vouchers or gift certificates as I am nervous about giving to much info on the computer. Can you advise of some reliable ones I could try. Thank You in advance
Hi Tina,
It can take some time to find the best survey sites for you, I suggest you sign up to all the survey sites on my site as they are all genuine. It can be frustrating at first as their are many survey scam sites out their. Some tips if a survey site says you can make $50 an hour its a scam, if they ask you for credit card details or they ask you to pay you a joining fee its a scam. Some people find it easier to use a different email address for joining survey sites. So if you have accidentally signed up for the spam and scam sites you can just delete that email and update your email address for the genuine survey sites.
Has anyone here had problems with MyOpinions account termination? I’ve read reviews about many people including myself have had their account terminated just as they try to cash out and for no reason either
Hi Charles,
Heaps of people have had problems with MyOpinions. You can read other peoples comments on the MyOpinions review page here: https://aussieonlinesurveys.com/my-opinions/
My Opinion and Opinion World both closed my accounts but only after doing enough surveys and trying to make claims. No reason provided from either. They can get stuffed. I wanted my payments but no.
Are there any decent paying Survey Apps or Sites that DO NOT use PayPal anymore? Paypal keep ‘Limiting my account’ & I’ve been sending messages with NO HELP WHATSOEVER, just the exact same auto message for 6 months now! They tell me I can view my balance & still accept payments …… well that’s pointless if PAYPAL are the ones that are keeping it! I can’t withdraw my own $ out of the account to close it or anything! This has happened twice now & I have no idea why! They’ve been doing this to many others from what I’ve been reading also … I can’t believe they are not being investigated yet for withholding everyone’s money! So any genuine paying Survey Apps / Sites where the $ will go directly to us! Please and thank you 👍🏼
Hi Catalina,
You can try Octopus Group they pay cash into your bank account. Mint Surveys they pay with physical Coles Group gift cards. You can also try Purkle and SurveyVillage they pay with eGift cards
Are there any sites compatible with USA?
Hi kimfuselier73,
You can try Swagbucks they accept members from the USA. ySense also accepts members from the USA
Are you still taking surveys? Noticed this pages activity really dropped away recently. If you still take surveys which sites do best for you?
Hi Henry,
I took a break from surveys for a while, now a mainly just do surveys from Octopus Group, Purkle and Pureprofile.
