"Pocket money" sites?

Question

With Christmas under 100 days away, it's a time of year where I really try to increase any extra earnings I can make for my household -- obviously there's a lot more outgoing expenses for those of us that celebrate at the tail end of the year.

Back when I was a university student in my home country, there were lots of different market research survey sites where you could earn a bit of extra cash and be paid either via direct deposit to your bank account or with gift cards for supermarkets and the like.

Does anyone know of any similar sites like that here? Obviously I'm not expecting tons of cash from any of them, but hey -- anything extra helps!

I get occasional offers from Japan Spark and E-Gaikokujin. Sometimes I have to turn down on-site surveys because they’re on weekdays when I’m working.

I’m curious, too, about other similar product survey sites.

@TonetoEdo I've had a few from E-Gaikokujin too, but they tend to be few and far between. They pay decently, though, from the surveys I've completed through them – I've received a few 300 yen gift cards for Amazon from them for just a few minutes of a survey.

@genkidesu Ah!

Spark’s invites have become less frequent, too.

I also tried Swagbucks for surveys but the points accumulate slowly.

I started to use a site based in the UK called Prolific last year. It's great as far as survey sites go and I get a few surveys a month. They pay decently in Pounds and US Dollar, transferred to a PayPal account.
They have a waitlist and limit participants, so you can register and see if there is a need for someone with your demographics. https://app.prolific.com/register/participant

Not a survey website, but a travel-oriented one is WAWO. They sometimes have surveys and also monitor tours that pay honoraria.

@helloalissa Thanks for sharing that link!

I use the macromill app. Make about 1.000 to 2.000 yen per month with surveys. If you get chosen for  product tests or group interviews you can make a lot more, but I never get chosen. 

Here is a referral link if you are interested.
