Now they've opened things back up again and Internationals (including Aussies) can register. Download the OpinionBar and give your opinion about various websites. You earn points for each survey you complete, exchangeable for Euros. This is where it gets tricky. Payment is direct to your bank account or to the charity of your choice. I don't see how they can pay direct to Aussie bank accounts, so this may be a charity-only thing for us. |

OzFree MiniPoll |

| Also not a paid survey, the OzFree MiniPoll serves two purposes. Firstly, it gives me a guide to the layout changes I make to this site. Secondly though, you can submit your own ideas for new minipoll questions. Perhaps you want to know which supermarket most OzFree visitors use? Perhaps you want to know what footy team they barrack for? If there are more Queenslanders than Victorians here? Cat-person or Dog-person? Or ANYTHING! Submit your own ideas and they'll be added to the minipoll rotation! |

| Okay, this is a tricky one. I contacted the company regarding eligibility, and was told: "There are no geographical restrictions for joining PermissionResearch - our audience reach is indeed worldwide. ". However, the sweepstakes portion of their site at least is restricted to US and Canadian residents. So don't go into this one for the sweepstakes, but if you're in it for the survey ops, then it should be a good one to join. |

| International Survey site with a referral program. You earn for each survey you complete, for the surveys of your referrals and for the surveys of their referrals. Exactly how much you will earn is not revealed, but the basic idea is that you can refer people and earn even if you choose not to do any surveys yourself! This looked very promising, but the reality has been less exciting than anticipated, especially if you don't happen to either be an American or refer an American. Case in point: at time of writing I have 46 direct referrals and 2 indirect referrals, and only USD$2 earned. On the other hand I have American friends who logged in after 6 months of doing nothing to find a cheque awaiting them! |

International. |
| I was initially suspicious of this site. Firstly, because the acronym for the site is T.W.I.T. and secondly because the domain name is registered to a Sue D'Nhym -- pseudonym! I have since done further research and it turns out the pages are actually hosted at http://survey.wit-research.com/ which is TroyResearch by another name. On registering, I received 500 points and I have since completed one survey for 300 points and another for 400 points. The least you can redeem for here is 1500 points, which will get you a $5 Wishlist gift voucher or a $5 Unicef donation.
Another way to earn points is to refer a friend -- you can earn points for a total of up to 5 friends for their first year of membership only, so if you'd like to join please e-mail with "T_W_I_T_A_Referral_Request" in the subject line and your preferred e-mail address in the body of the message.
