Vindale Research.

Can anyone tell me about this one please? I keep getting emails to join. It says £2-£35 per survey. Something tells me "too good to be true"

    I haven't heard of that site before.
    Maybe try looking on google for information about it.

    Hi,

    I asked the same question a while ago as I was receiving emails from them. Someone said they are an American company and advised me to look them up on survey police web site, I gave them a miss, seemed like junk to me. :eek:

    However I'll let you decide have a look on that site.

    Thanks to all posters :A
  • I had the same invites as everyone in my spam, but joined once I'd typed the web addy in - never use any link you're not sure of, of course. They seem kosher, and I get 4 or 5 surveys a week, but I've never tried to do any, as they're all about giving feedback on trial use of weight-loss pills and suchlike. I don't think I'll miss out on anything if I unsubscribe...
  • I am with Vindale and it is an American site, hence the rewards being paid in $$. The only thing is, if you are prepared to use your credit card for nearly every survey then go for it. I emailed them asking them why do I keep on getting surveys that need you to use your credit card as I stated in my profile I didn't have one and was told that you don't have to do those surveys, however the surveys that you don't have to use your credit card for are few and far between. The types of things you do are evaluations of websites, bingo sites, accident claims, driving accident claims, laser surgery website etc and it involves you clicking on the link and reading the site in question, then filling in your details and doing a follow up survey. Once the company notifies Vindale you have applied you are then paid. You have to reach a certain amount before you will be paid via Paypal I think. I personally am only getting up to the amount were I can cash in and I will then be closing my account down as it's just not worth it, as I am not happy having to use my credit card details all the time just for the sake of a few $$. :confused:

  • I joined but will be unjoining! I am not happy having to pay for something up front - what if there is a problem with payment? It doesn't even earn you that much, I had one through the other day for for a weight loss product paying $15, you had to pay $10 up front so would only get paid $5 - and that does not include the conversion fee on the card!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
  • this is an american site and only americans can join hope this helps a little plus i get about 10 invites a day so it looks like spam to me.

    I'm in the Uk, and joined ok. If you have a paypal a/c and are willing to use your c/c it does work apparantly, however they aren't getting my card details so a no goer for me! There's also a discussion in the referrers board, i think that's where I originally heard of them.
