Test Spin

Test Spin is a quirky little site, an online market research company. Test Spin prides themselves for having an extremely diverse panel group, (that would be us) Test Spin says they have more than 11,000,000 testers who review Test Spins client's product or service for which we answer questions regarding our experience with the item. This great number of "us"might be the reason for my only grief with Test Spin, but more on that later.Test Spin pays out in what they call Test Spin Bucks. Their surveys are mostly of the $1 to $4 nature. You will see higher ones pretty regularly, but seeing them might be the only thing you do. Anyone who has taken more than a half a dozen surveys already knows the frustration of not qualifying for a survey. Too many companies credit, an attempt is made to to send out surveys you have a pretty good chance to qualify for. (That’s why so many survey sites ask you to take general, non paid surveys so that they can put you into demographic niches.) Test spin just seems to send every bleeding survey they have at you. You will get a lot of Sorry screens’ from these guys after just a few questions. I've gotten quite a few Sorry Screens after just the typical first page, you know, name, rank, and serial number. So for this reason I will often leave Test Spin email till the end of my night; if I have time I will go through it.Make no mistake about what I am saying. Test Spin is legit all the way. They pay. Those Test Spin Bucks I told you about; each Test Spin dollar you earn for a completed Spin survey will show up in your balance. Every time you earn $10, the "payout" button on your login page will turn green and you are allowed to cash in. Test Spin pays you in $10 Amazon.com gift certificates up to $600 a year. No more than that. They don’t want the paper work of sending the government a 1099 on anyone. (Who can blame them) Any remaining balance will continue to appear until you reach $10 again and make another payout. It is $600 each calendar year (from January through December). It can take up to 4 weeks for the credit to show, but so far it always has.So Test Spin is not the greatest, but it is honest, consistent, and they pay what they say they will, what more could you want? Not so much junk invites, a quicker payout; don’t get me started. Check them out. http://www.testspin.com/infoHome/type/whatUpdate: My suggestion is not to take their survey from the way to many emails they send out, it will waste to much time. Just go to their site and go through their list and take a chance on the ones that interest you. You might even have a better chance of qualifying and save you time.Remember, at best taking surveys should be a hobby that actually pays out a little. Don’t thinkit will be a full time career. For what it is, its okay. Have fun survey takers.
