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 Accumulated balances may be withdrawn by the participant once the account balance reaches 1000 points.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

This review will be brief & concise: Focus Pointe Global's Sr. VP of Operations got involved in my case and ultimately perpetuated a well-documented deception & suspension of my account, prohibiting any further activity or any claim to my balance. You see, the Senior Vice President of Operations was caught in a couple of lies; most notably that a client had not recorded my complete participation in a study, when unbeknownst to her, they had already confirmed the completion to me. To cover her tracks, she informed me that no further contact would be permitted, instructed her staff in the same manner and suspended my account, forbidding the possibility of ever cashing out its balance. FPG at best demonstrates the ethics of a child and does not act in good faith to resolve valid disputes. All of this is well documented, has been reported to their local BBB and perhaps most importantly, should be a warning to anyone considering FPG as a reasonable and honest company.

They give you these lengthy screening and at the end they say that someone will be contacting you by phone and nothing. I have done 16 screenings so far and I have received "0" calls from anyone. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME or find a LEGIT company.

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.
