Opinion Outpost

Opinion Outpost is an online survey research panel, in other words, you do surveys for them, and then get paid! You'll need to be 18 years or older and live in the US or Canada to join.

I signed up with Opinion Outpost at the beginning of this month, and every week I receive about 2 survey invitations in the email from them. Sometimes I don't qualify for the surveys, but they tell you early on, usually within the first 2 minutes of the survey that you don't qualify. But with some of the surveys, you get paid even if you only completed PART of the survey. You can get all the information that you need in the email when they invite you to a survey.

I have only done 4 surveys for Opinion Outpost, and I already have cashed out for a $16 check! They pay pretty good for the surveys. Most of the time more than $3. I completed the same movie survey for both Opinion Outpost and SendEarnings, but Opinion Outpost paid me $5 for the 10 minute survey while SendEarnings only paid me $1.
When you complete a survey, you get opinion points, 10 points is equal to $1. You will need a minimum of 50 points to cash out.
You get 10 points when your referral signs up and completes their first survey.

Their customer service is pretty good. They often make mistakes and don't credit you for surveys that you actually completed, just use the feedback link on the left side. I contacted them once when that happened to me and they emailed me back within 24 hours and credited me. I got an extra 1 point, too! :D

If you already signed up, don't forget to complete all the profile surveys (you can find them here). You don't get points for doing these suveys but completing them will get you more paid survey invites!
