9 to 5 Work Online 
This is my most favorite survey site so far as the surveys are usually pleasant to answer, not too long or boring, and we won’t be disqualified too. Hence I always try to respond to any YouGov surveys if possible.
For us who are staying in Malaysia can redeem SGD $25 (approximately USD $20) with 5000 points. The pay rate seems to be different for different countries.
Thanks for sharing this. I didn’t know about the sweepstake perhaps I haven’t win any before.
