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 Accumulated balances may be withdrawn by the participant once the account balance reaches 1000 points.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.

Impossible to get an assignment

August 28, 2022 by Lori from United States

I spent a great deal of time applying for every focus group opportunity I was sent, and never was given an assignment. Seems very low yield given the amount of time required to apply to each focus group.

Hey Lori. We are sorry you have not gotten the chance to participate in a study with us yet! We conduct surveys targeting different ages, industries, regions and characteristics. Unfortunately you will not qualify for every survey we do, but we do our best to match you with surveys that closely match your lifestyle and interests. Sometimes we have more members respond than expected and reach our quota for the survey quickly. We recommend you try and take the survey as soon as you receive the notification.

My Story’s Worth

June 16, 2022 by Stacy from United States

There's nothing like being a part of a fabulous research team. They have provided me with a great way to share and earn. It is every bit worth it. They make it so easy to be included and involved on every level when it comes to medical research and being able to share what its like having a medical condition. No one is left out and no one is left behind. Get involved today and watch how your life changes for the better.

When I Qualify I Am Aptly Rewarded

June 15, 2022 by Bena from United States

It took many months and maybe even years to ever qualify for a survey, but the first one I ever actually qualified for completely ended up paying me $150. I used to reach Schlesinger through 20|20 Panel and always seemed to be a day too late, but that was also while I was still working. Now I am retired with more time to devote and no longer qualify for anything besides health and Medicare queries. I now need to get a life so that there are other topics to qualify for.

When a participant qualifies for one of Focus Group's surveys, the payday is certainly worth it. I used to spend HOURS taking surveys that would only pay less than a dollar - that is, if I even qualified. Focus Group by Schlesinger is one I recommend highly.
