Are the returns good? How much can you make in a month average, if you don't mind me asking?

It works on a points system, you get between 15 and 60 points per survey completed.
Once you have 2000 points, you can cash them in.
Depending on the exchange rate, it is normally about R550.00. About twice a year
Problem is, you get very few surveys.
I registered with every available option checked, all fields marked, the works.
You get sent them as per your interests and such, so the more you mark the more you qualify for.
But purely on demographic, you get disqualified like 80% of the time.
All the sites I could find are based overseas, so there are very few surveys looking for local participation.

I am sure that if you were overseas or somehow could register as such, it would be a lot more lucrative.

That list sounds like it was sponsored by one of those Ponzi / pyramid scheme survey companies :D

Interesting. That sounds completely opposite to what this least purports. I guess registering with multiple sites will give you better rewards?

In 9 years you didn't think to just use a VPN or proxy to circumvent the geographical restrictions?

I am doing online surveys and been doing it for a few years now and buying loads of stuff off Amazon because I chose the Amazon gift vouchers as payment. When I was in SA, I received cheques. I am only using one survey site because I know it pays but I guess if you have a couple of good paying sites, you can reap the rewards.

Tried that, still not a huge improvement.
At the time when I joined, there were only about 2 or 3 sites that you could register on. Most of them as soon as you choose your location as South Africa, you get a "Sorry në" screen.
Might be more now.
But at a stage I thought to really push it, do as much as possible on as many sites as possible.
Best I ever got was like R1500 twice a year.

There might be more sites doing it now, with better returns.

The site I use pays out at 1000 but I cash out at 1100 which is $50 and that used to be between R350-R460 a few years ago and yes that was like twice a year. Now I cash out $50 maybe every few months.

What site you using ?
The one I found with the most regular surveys that I qualify for is GlobalTestMarket.
