More information: Read full YouGov review
Short summary:
YouGov is a very interesting survey panel. It has specific panels for many countries, and it also has a US survey panel. You can only earn by taking surveys, but there are often new surveys. The surveys are about important and relevant topics, and they pay well in relation to the time spent.
One thing that is really cool about YouGov is that you can get to see the results of the surveys they conduct. On the website (or in their newsletter, if you subscribe to that) you will be able to see the results and see in which media the results have been used. There are not many survey sites where this is possible, and it is great to be able to see the results and see how your opinion is a part of affecting the agenda and stories in the media.
You earn points every time you take a survey, and these points can be exchanged into a variety of gift cards, prepaid VISA, products, and more.

More information: Read full Toluna review
Short summary:
Toluna Influencers has a specific survey panel for the USA, as well as a specific American blog, where they post special offers and opportunities, as it sometimes for example runs contests.
The main way to earn on the site is by taking surveys, and it has a decent amount in the US. You can also earn by participating actively in the community and interact with other members, but it is not a lot you can earn, so you should only do it, if you enjoy it, and not solely to earn.
Toluna has many great rewards, and you can, for example, get paid through PayPal and gift cards. It can be a bit slow at processing the rewards compared to other survey sites, but it always pays out, even though it can take a while.
9 – PaidViewpoint:
Payout methods: PayPal
Payout threshold: $15 (will be lowered down to $5 after you have cashed out a few times)
More information: Read full PaidViewpoint review
Short summary:
PaidViewpoint is a pure survey site, and that is the only way you can earn on this site. It does, however, have something unique for a survey site, and that is why it is on this list.
If you have done paid surveys before, you will know that often there are surveys you do not qualify for. That is just a part of taking surveys. That is, however, not the case for PaidViewpoint. Here you will never be offered a survey that you will not be able to complete, and the surveys are very short and fast compared to many survey sites.
It will not give you as many survey opportunities as the other sites on this list, but you know that you will for sure be able to complete the ones you are offered. The USA is one of the countries where PadiViewpoint has the most surveys, and you can get paid through PayPal.
