Yeas, there are. ACOP, SurveySavvy, BrandInstitute, ...

Are there any cash paid surveys on-line that do not require purchases of any kind or a credit card?
Yes, there are, however in most cases you have to take mini surveys to qualify for the actual surveys that will pay out.

These are all that I could think of off hand that I or a friend has dealt with in the past. Good luck!

Reply:I've listed most of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or received other rewards like gift cards or CD'S) on the following webpage. None of these require you to purchase/pay for anything:

I list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. (And yes, if I say they have an affiliate program, I'm part of it, and make a commission when someone signs up through that link...I like to be up front about that).





But watch out--there are also scams out there. Here are some tips to avoid them:





Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.





Always carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy. If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not aggregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).





Also, never sign up for a survey through an unsolicited e-mail--since these might not even be from the site they claim to be, but could be a phishing scheme to get your information and mis-use it. And never give your credit card info--there is no good reason a legitimate free site would need it.





Here are two other sites which are very helpful

Reply:I reckon all those that charge you money must be scams - I am worried like you about being scammed and I always tell people to research, research, research. There are a couple of blogs and other sites that help you sort out the scams from the legitimate stuff. I have bookmarked a new Australian blog which is going to review different survey websites from all around the world, which could be worth checking out. I don't think there is really a way to make heaps of money through these things, but it can be fun - (I am signed up to emailcash in Australia and have had a great time, even though I have earnt only 5-10 bucks so far!) Anyway I hope I helped I will post a link to that new blog so you can check it out if you like:
