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 Accumulated balances may be withdrawn by the participant once the account balance reaches 1000 points.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've been a member for over 12 years and have been quite happy with the money and gift cards i have earned from the surveys and panels I have qualified for. I have found the more frequently I check for opportunities the more likely I am to find ones with good compensation and I prequalify for. Most surveys do max out in first week or two so it pays to check account.

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!

If you sign up with them just to take their surveys, good luck because you will have to keep nagging them in order to get paid. Their customer service is also not very friendly and very hard to reach. However, if you live close to any of the major cities in which they conduct in-person focus groups, they are an excellent company and pay you ON SITE after the focus group. They normally pay via VISA gift cards from $75 - $200 per focus group. So, I recommend them for On Site focus groups, but NOT for taking their surveys.

I have the same opinion as Sky, I have been to a few of their in person focus groups with no issues and paid when leaving.

The online surveys I haven't had an issue either, I am about halfway to chasing out right now.

I get chosen for a lot of paid focus groups through this company. I'm paid between 75-125 dollars each time I go. I have never had a problem with payments and have been participating for a few years.
