No way it is worth what they give as an "incentive"

January 12, 2018 by Joe from United States

I receive their humongous surveys through the mail. They always include $5 as "incentive" for doing them. They are long as you could possibly imagine. I decided to see just how long are they. I completed one, giving only the minimal number of answers that is possible in order to give at least one answer per line (they want you to give bunches for several pages of questions... phooey). I had to provide 1,157 answers, manually, by hand, in order to complete the survey. That is absolutely ridiculous, and $5 is a pathetic insult.

If you like getting a penance thrown to you in order to make lots of money for this panel, then by all means, this is the panel for you.
