I've been a member of Smart Panel since last year and they are super! I never know the program is even there. I've never had a problem getting in touch with customer service and having them get back to me within 24 hrs. I've received my "compensation" every month. I call it "compensation" because I don't do a thing to get my $5 every month without fail. I think they made a mistake paying me for doing nothing, but far be it from me to tell them they are wrong *winks*! I put their new app on my phone and after a shaky month, they got it all smoothed out and once again, I never even know it's there. I most definitely recommend them, they are top notch!

I have taken lots of surveys through fgi and receive fast paypal payments almost immediately after. The surveys are quick and easy, and not boring! The site is still up, I had the same problem bc i didn't put the www infront of the address. If you enter www.fgiresearch.com it works!Definitely recommend it!

They always pay what they promise. Some surveys are for contests. So, if you don't win you won't get anything. But most of their surveys pay with PayPal and they always pay for those. So, they are legit. Surveys are pretty interesting, look good, and always work. They are one of the better sites, IMO.

They need to send MORE surveys with HIGHER pay in my opinion but they have no other complaints coming from me. They pay on time and the right amount... and they use PAYPAL! Which is a bonus.
