Vindale Research:
Type of Shops: Sign up for free trial websites and services and evaluate them.
How many jobs (average) per month: 5. There are usually a lot available per month, and it depends on how many you decide to register for.
Compensation: You are told how much you will be reimbursed for each survey. There is usually a commission (not always) and payment for any services you would need to sign up for. Most surveys are free trials, but if you do need to pay it is reimbursed in full.
Payment: After earning $50 you will be sent either money via PayPal or a paper check. You need to log in and request a cash-out or the money will continue to accrue in your account. Payments are processed on the 15th and last day of the month.
Scheduling: Offers are listed on your account homepage and you self select the ones you are interested in.
How to Report Shops: You evaluate the website/product immediately after signing up. You log in to the website and are shown a list of available surveys. After selecting one to complete you go to the website and sign up as if you were a naive customer trying a service. Afterwards you go back to the Vindale site and fill out a very short survey on your experiences. The questions are only one page long and usually take me less than 10 minutes to complete.
Requirements to sign up: Gender, birth year, zipcode, email, name, and self-selected password.
Do We Recommend?: kind of- but be careful, most but not all the opportunities are perfect, and some listings ask you to sign up for scammy products. Make sure you read the full description before selecting a job. Positive aspects: many jobs pay well and the surveys are very easy to complete. Each review is only one page of questions. Things to watch out for: Often you sign up for a free trial of a product, and if you don't remember to cancel after the trial period you might be automatically billed. There are some good opportunities here: For example we have received free coffee, health products, online services, etc. all while getting paid....but you really need to be careful remembering what you signed up for and keeping track of cancellations if a trail membership is part of the survey. Also - if a site looks really sketchy avoid signing up for the evaluation.
