I have been a member of that panel yrs and never got to do an in-person until last yr. Last yr I spent two hrs answering questions at their office and was paid $125. Then for the next few months I qualified for other things until they found out that I had recently done a study with them, and that got me disqualified (4 times). This yr I qualified for a $100 study. I called them two hrs before I was set to arrive and asked them how to get to the parking garage. The woman said that I should go to their office address, and the garage where they validate parking is just down the street. She said that she couldn't give me a street address for the garage. So I went to their office building and drove a little further down and there was a garage. I drove in and asked the attendant where I should park for Schlessinger Associates. He told me to park at the bottom floor. I did the study, and presented my parking card and they said it was the wrong garage and they would not validate it. I told them that I'd asked for directions and followed what they'd told me; he said that the garage I'd parked in was across the street, not down the street. He further said that in the contract they emailed me it said to use the Back Bay Garage -- the one I pulled into didn't seem to have a sign on it. I had to then ask for my Visa check card so I could leave and rush back to my car. I had to pay $28.

I would not recommend this site at all. Firstly i was told i had won a 1000 points prize, then they said it was an error and i received 100 points compensation. I have had no reply to around 4 emails i sent to them. Their surveys are infrequent and although i have reached the prize threshold i am dubious as to where i will receive the award

I am not happy with this one. They are an off shoot of Schlesinger Associates which I love because I do in person panels with them. However, their sister program called Inspired Opinions does anything but inspire. You have to build up points to get a reward at a cash out level of 1000 points. In 3 years I have earned enough once for a $10 amazon gift card. Most of the surveys they send to me either have nothing to do with me or I get disqualified. For example, they may want to speak with men who have migraines which is me. Then they say I got disqualified because I do not fit the profile of what they are looking for.

It's really sad to see how Inspired Opinions has turned out. Of course everyone knows they are owned by Schlesinger and Associates. Now personally I have always considered Schlessinger's one of the premier places in the Phoenix Area for in person focus groups (having done more than I can count) Now emails go unanswered every time not once or twice. Cashing in your tokens is nothing less than a joke, and again that has been the last 3 times I have cashed some not just once. I used to feel bad leaving bad reviews but every time I did I always made sure I told the truth, I never felt guilty again, I could go on and on but I am sure each and everyone of you has been there.

Completed 2 surveys in Oct 2020- it is now Jan 2021 and i still have not been paid. i am well beyond their 6-8 week payment window. i have contacted customer support numerous times- they keep resending my cards to the wrong address, despite numerous updates. they have done it so much that Bank Of America has refused to issues additional cards. so i guess there is no way for me to get paid.
beware when dealing with this company.

UPDATE 1/9/2021: you have provided a generic email that i have used over 20 times in the last 3 months in an attempt to get paid. provide a direct email or phone number for contact. this is the response of one your coworkers: "We have contacted Bank of America. They have stated that your money is available but they are not able to reissued your card due to too many reissued request already placed for this payment. Bank of America has declined all of our request to assist in reissuing this card. We are unable to issue a replacement card."
