Vindale Research has a three-part introductory period which basically tells you what you can expect from them and what they expect from you. After my waiting period was over my first official survey came in for $25.00

It’s a essentially a two part process:
1) Evaluate the product by using it. (Sometimes requiring a credit card, sometimes not.)
2) Complete the survey. (Fairly short questionnaire. 15-30min)

Unbelievable right? Well if it looks too good to be true it probably is, and that was the case for me. To qualify for this survey I would have to sign up for Blockbuster’s online movie rental trial which requires a credit card. Which means I would have to come out of pocket for a minimum of $4.80, which compared to the $25.00 I’d be earning isn’t so bad because I’d still turn a profit. ($25-($4.49 x 7%)) = $20.20…..Of course if I wanted to pay to take surveys I’d join Whatgrade.com

Once you reach a balance of $50.00 you can submit a request for payment via check or PayPal. Check payments take two weeks longer than PayPal, but the distribution process starts the same time PayPal payments are made. (Payments are automatically processed on the 15th and last day of every month.)
