    Is anyone here interested in a referral for a Community/Forum type of Market research survey project.... I'm not sure what to call it... but it pays really well.

    Basically, I got signed up to it through a survey on SB. You join a community/market research forum (using the email that you want your paypal payment through) and you do pretty short tasks for £10 a pop. The tasks come out on a regular basis and you have a few days to do each one. I've finished two and there's a third one starting on Monday.

    The first task- to give you an idea- involved writing a couple paragraphs about two different topics- 'My last journey' (how, where, what was it like etc, what was good, what was bad) and your 'Ideal Train Journey' (which was quite fun and creative to do). They gave a deadline to have it done by, and then paid a day or two after the deadline. Really smooth and easy.
    It's not difficult either, and there's no right or wrong answer... its fairly rail orientated though. I think they are looking for people who do travel on longish journeys by rail and have opinions about it. I've not done a whole lot of long distance travel but i still qualified for it though.

    The tasks are straightforward - If they want more info, or you need to write more to qualify for the reward, they prompt you for it, so you just need to check back to the travel forum before the deadline to make sure you've written enough to qualify for the reward.
    They give you a list of topics to include in your answer though, so its not hard to complete.

    The current task ends on Sunday... so if anyone wants to message me with their email address, I can use the referral option on their website (i input your email, they then email you inviting you to join, so keep an eye out for it) and you can nab that task before it ends for a tenner.

    A new task is coming on Monday too for another tenner.
    And if you're in the London area, they're having an evenings market research group thingy this week, which pays £60 for 3 hrs, not sure if i'm gonna do it yet though. And I'm not sure if they'll extend that invite out out 'non-original' members either, but they might?

    They haven't spammed me at all. I was a bit dubious coz they asked for my mobile number too, but they've not contacted me that way at all. Its been a really nice little task... very little time spent on it for a nice reward.
    I've only got a limited number of people I can refer though so first come first served. :)

    Thanks for the referral, I remember seeing this survey on SB. Just a note for any interested others- unfortunately you have to live in the North East or Scotland in order to qualify!

    I had an email to say I needed to email for approval for my paypal reward, I just had a reply to say my account has been flagged for search engine irregularities! please refrain from using any unauthorised searching methods!
    I thought I was just typing the same random stuff as everyone else!

    I think Dincanada is based in North America. If you're based in the Uk, stick to £. It's possible to claim in $ but you won't be able to use on UK Amazon.

    Maybe its a different one? I live in London and I qualified.
    I believe the travel routes they're focused on runs from London right up to Scotland, sorta veering along the east coast, so that takes in a pretty huge swathe.

    Anyone else want to try qualify for it? Some people have been lucky, others had a 'we have enough people in your demographic" and some have had a "you live too far away" so I think I can still refer more. Just message me if you want to, coz i might miss your post in this thread. :)
