KEY FEATURES:

MyView is owned and operated by Critical Mix, which was established back in 1996. This panel provides a unique community where panelists can meet others that share the same passions all while taking surveys and earning rewards! Take advantage of this fun, thought-provoking panel.

Gift Cards Galore!

MyView is a gift card lovers haven, as they offer dozens of gift card options from many different retailers including Amazon, Wal-Mart, iTunes, Shell, TJ Maxx, and more. Gift cards typically come in $20, $50, and $100 increments. Some gift cards are mailed to members; others are sent by e-mail in the form of an e-voucher. Minimum redemption is $10.

Cash or Charity Donations

MyView also offers the option to redeem your points towards cash or donations to charity. A PrePaid Visa/Mastercard can be collected once your account reaches $100. Donations can be made to many local charities; the choice is yours!

Receive Points for Disqualifications

MyView offers a generous 100 points for when members attempt surveys but are unable to complete them due to disqualification.

Daily Surveys

Daily surveys are often available to members if they log in to their accounts to check for surveys. Most online survey opportunities will be e-mailed, however those wishing to take additional surveys will find it beneficial to log directly into their accounts to check for available surveys.

Sweepstakes Opportunities

Each month MyView gives away $2000 worth of prizes in the form of one $1000 winner and five winners of $200. All panel members have a chance to win!

Teen Friendly Surveys

This panel offers many teen oriented surveys, as you need to be 13+ to join. This is a great way for teens to make a little bit of extra money and to feel like they are making a difference.

Take Polls, or Even Create your Own

MyView offers the opportunity to explore the panelist community through taking polls. You may even create your own poll question if there is something you want to know.

Have been an active member there since 2009 and, if there has ever been a problem they are quick to fix it for you. They also provide a toll free phone number for panelists as well. Very professional survey company that does not disappoint. Also, if you do not qualify for a certain survey you get points just for trying. Best of the best out there and plenty of incentives to choose from. One word of caution, do not speed thru surveys. They are funny about that. Get a cup of coffee, sit back, answer honestly and have fun.

My view is great. I have earned many Amazon cards which I use to buy high end cat food & many other things I couldn't other wise buy. The required points needed seems high, but it goes fast & you get 100 pts even if you don't qualify for survey. The only thing I don't like is they mail cards now instead e-mailing code. I earned over $600 last year in Amazon Gift Cards & my cats love all the toys .

The incentives are good. However, I got to a point where I wasn't able to earn any more points, because I wasn't able to qualify.

I'd have to say this is my favorite of the sites that offer you surveys for which you are not pre-qualified.

I find it vexing that so many of these sites offer you nothing if you screen out of a survey. After all, the screening is a vital part of the process, and from the survey taker's point of view it is still work, just as actually taking a survey is. But most sites offer nothing if you do that work yet fail to qualify, nor do the companies using these survey sites offer anything. This means these sites and companies have zero incentive to improve the screening process in order to achieve a higher success rate, as they pay no price for the consequences of any inadequacies in that process. The only ones paying a price for those inadequacies are the survey takers, because when there is no compensation every screen out is time and effort wasted. This seems both unfair and inefficient.

MyView does pay actual points for each failed attempt to qualify, roughly seven cents worth. It may be just a token but it can make a big difference psychologically by creating the sense that you are least going to move forward any time you are attempt a survey there. You might go forward a mile or only go a foot, but at least you go somewhere.

Contrast that to sites where you might do considerable work only to screen out of five or six surveys in a row and have nothing to show for it, or worse, those screening interviews where you have to answer an awful lot of questions - suspiciously too many, it seems - before they suddenly screen you out and get away with all that data for free. Boy, does that feel like you've just been robbed! Probably because you have been.

The latter two scenarios are the major reasons I will quit sites where I discover this kind of thing is common. And getting even the token payment for a screen out is a major reason I like to work with MyView and will continue to do so. It just feels more fair and, as I said, as if you are always moving forward, even if you are crawling at times. But even crawling forward is far better than feeling taken advantage of. If I ran a survey site my number one customer relations goal would be to eliminate any semblance of taking advantage of people, because so many sites either are taking advantage of people or come off as though they do.

By the way, Global Test Market, if you are reading this please be advised that rewarding screen outs with sweepstakes entries is not the same as paying people who screen out. For one thing the vast majority of those entries are, by definition, utterly worthless.

So I applaud MyView for this feature of their operation. I have also found them responsive to the few glitches I have run into, had no problems getting paid, and I find work to do there every weekday, whereas other sites may be unproductive for weeks on end. And it is indeed better to log in and check for work than to wait for them to email you.

One complaint is they mail you physical gift cards instead of doing all that electronically. Not that I have had any problem, but why tempt fate when doing it electronically would be a big improvement in a whole list of ways? So I'd really like to see them get into the 21st century with that.

But overall my experience with MyView has been much more positive than with most survey sites.
