For those of you who read this blog, Swagbucks has one of my favorite programs to date. Through search and swagcodes, I have on average received $15 in Amazon gift certificate every month for the past couple months. For those of you who still haven’t start using Swagbucks, here is an my earlier post where I gave a review regarding swagbucks. However, this is definitely NOT a post about Swagbucks. This post is about Communispace, a program that is better than Swagbucks.
Communispace is online private marketing community that provides gift certificates and other prizes in exchange for consumers thoughts and time. Why do I think it is better than Swagbucks? Because in order for me to receive $10 Amazon gift certificate for Swagbucks, I have to go to Swagbuck’s website everyday. However, with the Communispace private community, I receive $15 in Amazon gift certificate for visiting the website/forum once a week and provide my feedback. Occasionally they also give out extra $5~$10 if you complete the weekly survey by the specified deadline. As a company Communispace creates private forums for other companies such as Gatorade, Citibank, Microsoft and others to get end user feedback. The surveys usually is a new concept or product in which they want to get some initial feedback.
In terms of time investment to compensation, Communispace is much generous. Unfortunately, it is not easy to join Communispace. Since they are private community, they are very selective in picking there members (They only want those who are applicable to the specific company). So how did I join? I am a member of a survey site called Surveysavvy. If you fill out your profile for Surveysavvy, it will send invite you to just private communities similar to the image I posted above. From what I read there are other online survey sites that recruit members for Communispace as well. So if you are part of on online survey group and you see a message like the one above, make sure you fill out the forms! You might be handsomely rewarded with Amazon gift certificate.
UPDATE: As for those of you wondering whether Communispace is a scam, I have been a member for the past two years and I have received Amazon gift card every month. So this is definitely a legitimate program!

Sorry, I am a newbie. may i know what is the “Amazon gift certs” you guys talking about? I am interested to get some information about it. I also hope i will get the chance to join Communispace, but firstly i want to look through this community.
I’ve been on SurveySavvy for a while, along with several other survey sites. Taking surveys just doesn’t do it for me. So, I’ll probably skip this one. However, LockerZ sounds much better.
I’ve worked a bit with the online marketing industry and it sounds like what SurveySavvy and Communispace are trying to do is to set up special panels of the most influential people online. They are probably making a lot of money off of the opinions that their members express.
I will have to watch for an offer from Communispace. Sound like it would be worth it. One never knows which of the many enticing offers to click on unless someone, like yourself, has said that it is good and not a scam.
Hi Rocky,
SurveySavvy allows you to make money by doing surveys. Although what you receive is very little.
It is recommended if you have extra time on your hands like when you are watching television etc.
Hi Aldon,
I agree with you that most of these companies are setting up special panels and charging an arm and a leg for their customers and only giving a very small amount back to its users. Hence I usually do those when I am watching television. =)
Hi Sharkbytes,
Communispace is definitely worth my time. I probably spend 5 minutes every week to answer their question of the week. In return, I receive $15 gift certificate monthly.
Is this Surveysavvy site open to anyone or only for US and Canada residents? Is it free to join?
I’ve tried looking at survey sites before but almost all of those I found are not free – you need to pay a staggering amount just to be able to have the chance to answer surveys. I would really love to get Amazon gift cards if it won’t take up too much of my time.
Hi Isis,
It is free and it is open to residents of a lot of countries
I am a member of Citi Communispace. I really love this group. I get Amazon gift cards for expressing my opinions and ideas. It’s awesome!
I am a member of Citi as well. Good to know you enjoy it as much as I do!
