Plenty of Reward Options

The compensation provided varies from project to project, and is paid out either via pre-paid Visa card, check, gift card, or cash. Payment for research can vary from $75-$150. Most groups and interviews take less than 2 hours to complete.

• In-Person Rewards: Rewards for in-person marketing research projects are typically given to participants via prepaid Visa card or check, at the end of the session.

• Telephone Interviews: these are rewarded with pre-paid Visa cards and usually take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Note, however, that some studies take a few weeks to complete and the incentive payment processing will take place only after the study has closed.

• Online Rewards: Online surveys are rewarded with "Focus Group Reward Points" which are racked up in your member account. The average survey pays between 100 and 1000 points, which translates to $1 to $10. Panel members can cash out once they reach 1000 points. Points are rewarded in gift cards and members can choose between physical and virtual cards. Virtual cards can be used immediately whereas physical cards are mailed within 7 to 10 business days. Accumulated balances may be withdrawn by the participant once the account balance reaches 1000 points.

• In-Depth Online Research: Rewards are similar to "in-person" rewards and can come in a pre-paid Visa card. Once the study is complete, expect rewards to arrive within 6-8 weeks.

I did an offsite survey in mid May with my roommate and we were told we would get a gift card emailed in 4 weeks. Well it's been well over 8 and I've emailed a couple times and still no response. This is unacceptable

I've done three live sessions, including one "mock jury" about a product lawsuit: they're interesting, friendly, and pay quite well. The email surveys usually only "pay" about $6/hour though, and you ALSO end up putting in five minutes or so on 3/4 of them just to find out you don't qualify and thus get nothing but a free sweeps entry of questionable value (entered 50ish -- no wins.) They NEED to organize their email-survey qualifier questions for faster disqualifications, but their live panels are very well worth it!

I took a 20 minute survey for 200 points ($2). After completing it I go to my account and the points are not there. I contact them and first I receive an email asking me to look into if I qualified for the survey which made no sense at all. Then, I receive another email telling me to disregard that. After that, I receive another email saying that I'm in. So I emailed back and asked if I was in were are my points? I, then, get a response stating that I didn't qualify. When I asked how could I not qualify if I already completed the survey? I was told that I just didn't. This has to be the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. One big waste of time for a petty $2.

You receive multiple emails asking to take a survey to determine eligibility.
There are so many questions to each survey, and at the end of it, the site says you don't qualify without giving a reason. After you answered over a dozen questions.
So they pretty much gather so much free information from you, by goading you with a cash incentive, and then at the last minute say you aren't needed.
I was called once to participate in an actual survey, and the first question asked was if I work full time, after saying 'yes', they proceed for 35 minutes with additional questions which i already answered on the online survey. At the end of it, they asked if i would like to come in for the survey at their location for the cash incentive. I said yes, and they told me they have times at 10am and 3pm during the workweek... How is anyone that has a full time job able to do that?

WORST SURVEY COMPANY EVER AND A HUGE WASTE OF TIME.

REPORT THEM

Back in November I did a 1 hour focus group for diapers and never got the $60 I was promised. I emailed several people and called both with no response.
