The problem with this opportunity is that while there are an abundance of survey options available, there are many companies who end up not remitting payment to those participating, or offer credits or discounts on products and services, rather than paying them as expected.   In addition, the membership websites that offer listings of paid survey sites for a fee are merely providing access to a listing of companies available freely online, just by browsing search engines and work at home community forums and websites.
