A Plug for Vindale

Tweet

This site is for people in the US, UK, Canada and Australia! There hasn't been a discussion here about this site in over a year (that I could find), and the guy who started that one never responded to people, so here goes! In October, I got bored and signed up for a whole bunch of survey sites. I like doing surveys, but the problem is that I don't qualify for very many of them on the two sites I was active on (Survey Savvy and E-Search). I quickly got disenchanted with most of them. Either they don't pay anything, they pay "points" (which I don't want to deal with) or they're sneakily disguised attempts to get you to sign up for offers. Vindale started sending me e-mails about their daily "studies" that pay $1.50 for each one that is completed. And so I went there and did a few, and found out that I actually qualify for a fair number of them. Pretty soon I saw the $$ racking up, and I really got into the site. So here are a few pieces of information: 1. They pay $2 for you to complete your profile information 2. They pay a referral credit (not specified how much that I could find) 3. They pay various amounts for the completion of "surveys" 4. They pay $1.50 for the completion of "studies" First, the surveys. You have to be careful with these, as many of them do want you to sign up for an offer, and after you do that you come back and complete the survey. Some of these offers require credit cards. From what I see (and have read in recommendations for the site), you eventually get paid more than you have shelled out. But you do have to pay for something for some of them, and you do have to remember to go back and cancel memberships for some of them. Some people seem to be OK with this, but personally I avoid it. Next, the studies. These are pretty much your traditional opinion surveys. You answer questions about your finances, spending habits, likes, dislikes, etc. Sometimes you get to evaluate a new product based on a video or print ad. Like I said, you get paid $1.50 for each one you complete. They run anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, and I have qualified for anywhere from 1 to 6 most days. It took me from October 14 to November 30 to rack up my first $50, and from November 30 - December 15 to get credited the second $50. Payout is $50. Seems high, I was skeptical, but I actually got paid my first $50 today. The site pays out on the 15th and end of month if you request payout by 12 noon eastern time on those days. Hooray, a site that pays fairly decent money, and actually does pay for a change. May it never go scam.
