Top 25 Survey Sites – Harris Poll Online Makes Final Cut
Harris Poll Online makes the list of top 10 survey sites regularly – mainly because of name recognition. Everybody has heard of the Harris Poll; they are, after all, one of the most well known, well respected and established marketing firms in the world.

These points can be redeemed for gifts and gift certificates, but you do have to take an awful LOT of surveys to get enough points for a $5 gift certificate. I haven’t reached that point yet, but I’d be interested in a report from someone who has.
