If you are looking for free and fast ways to make some extra money online in the US, taking paid surveys is one of the best and easiest ways to do this.
But not all countries have the same opportunities when it comes to paid surveys and making money on GPT sites (Get-Paid-To).
If you live in the USA, there are, however, MANY opportunities. BUT not all sites are worth it, and you can end up wasting a lot of time testing sites.
In this article, I will, therefore, show you the best paid survey sites for the USA.
These sites are all legit and great to join if you want to make money by answering surveys and doing other small tasks online. I have tested all of them and have been paid by all of them, so I know they are legit.
If you do not live in America, you can instead check out my top recommended sites for other countries.

How are the opportunities for paid surveys in the USA?
As shortly mentioned above, the opportunities for taking paid surveys are very good in the US. There are many amazing American paid survey sites, and there are not only great opportunities to earn by taking surveys, but also in general for joining GPT (Get-Paid-To sites).
GPT sites often include paid surveys but also have other ways to make some extra money online like, for example, getting cash back when shopping online, playing games, watching videos, and more.
Survey sites mostly have surveys and are focused on this. Both kinds of sites can be great to join and a great way to make some extra money, depending on your preferences.
The USA is one of the countries with the absolute biggest amounts of offers in this area. This is because there are a lot of big companies in the USA, and these are willing to spend a lot of money on market research to improve their services, and they are willing to pay you to participate in this.
That there are many opportunities does, however, not mean that they are all worth joining. There are, unfortunately also plenty of sites that are scams and will cost you money instead of making you money, and some sites are just a waste of time.
But luckily, there are also many great sites. Below you can see a list of the best legit sites with great opportunities.
How to earn the most?
To get the most out of survey and GPT sites in the US, there are a few things you need to be aware of.
First of all, make sure to use all the different earning methods some of the sites offer. So, in addition to taking surveys, some of the sites on the list below will also give you ways to earn by taking offers, watching videos, participating in contests, downloading apps, playing games, and more.
By using several of the earning methods, you can really boost your earnings. Also, you should make sure to join several sites as they all offer something different, and by joining more, you will get access to more opportunities.
If you are just starting, joining 6-8 sites is great as it will give you plenty of opportunities but still not be too overwhelming. Once you have some experience, you can join more.
Also, you need to make sure to do it with the right expectations. Paid surveys and GPT sites are a great way to make some extra cash in the USA and one of the easiest ways as there is no cost at all, you will make a profit from day one, and anyone can do it.
However, it will not be a way to make a full-time income, and it will not make you rich. It is great for some extra cash on the side, but you need to do it with the right expectations.

PineCone Research does not have as many surveys as some other sites, but as already mentioned, the ones you will get paid well for your time. But even if you end up becoming a member, you should make sure to also join other sites, as PineCone alone will not give you very many opportunities.
The payout threshold is only $3, so you can get paid every time you have taken a survey if you want, or you can accumulate until you have more. You can get paid via direct bank transfer, gift cards, products, or prepaid VISA.
Be aware that PineCone only allows a limited number of new members each month and sometimes it does not accept new members at all. So if you click the link below and cannot join, it is likely because the panel is not accepting more members right now, and then just use some of the other options on this list instead.
