Vindale Research Reviews

B   NC

I don't know what these people are talking about but i've been doing consumer studies for vindale and have always received my money. I'm now about to receive my third check for $50.00. I just do the my studies area surveys. Which are the consumer surveys they range from $1.00 to $1.50 sometimes and I have never had a problem getting paid. I also watch video's for 3 cents a piece from this site with no problem getting my credit for doing so.

The high dollar offers are only paid because you commit your credit card number and buy something or a service that you probably didn't even want. I only did the surveys, but the deal is, you answer umpteen questions on what I would call a survey, then they cleverly tell you that you did not qualify for that survey. They get your information, and you get nothing for your 10 to 35 minutes of work. It's a shameless scam.

The company doesn't know their suveyors. Most of the products couldn't be further than what I would use. I don't have a credit card, and you can't get credit for the survey if you don't spend your own money. Spending my money isn't worth the little credit for it. Vindale should pay the whole fee for the surveys the surveyors take and doesn't want. They could send me a credit card to put on their bill, then all the surveys could be taken and credited.

Ive done quite a few surveys and have not been paid for any of them in 2 months... Vindale is a SCAM!!! don't do it

When this site first started I tried it and had quite a few problems with either getting credits or getting paid, so I canceled my membership. Just recently a friend told me I should try it again because they have better trial payouts not, so I did. So far I have made about $150 in the past month or so.

What I strongly suggest is this: when you reach a confirmation page that you signed up for, print it and copy all of the information onto a Word/note file and save all email correspondence they send you (PS never try to fax them your evidence of completion their fax never works and they lose your letters if you send it that way.

Also, I use my computer calendar to remind me when I have to cancel any of the trials you sign up for (PS make sure you stay on the trial as long as the Vindale survey specifies or you won't get credit). Lastly , don't be afraid to contact them as much as possible to get your credits and payments (PS read the how to get paid faqs very carefully, they are tricky)

Civitina Chumbley- You couldn't get the payment because you have to have at least $50 for them to payout. They only pay in increments of $50.

Yeah, you have to pay for some of the surveys. You can also cancel the trial, though. You get reimbursed and you get some money on top of that. Personally, I love Vindale and love earning that little bit of extra cash. :)

SCAM!!!!! DO NOT DO THIS! You will end up spending money on trial memberships that claim to be free, and wasting time canceling them. RUN!

I requested a transfer of about $38.00 from Vindale Research to Pay Pal but, upon review, I was informed that there was a problem with my e-mail address. I use the same e-mail address for both Vindale Research and Pal Pal. Therefore, please explain why my money could not be transferred.

They do exactly what they say. Yes-any surveys that pay more than $1.50 require you to essentially sign up for or buy a product, so if you don't want to, don't. I spend my lunch hour and downtime just doing the daily surveys where no credit card is required, you just answer the survey and they pay $1.50. They take 5-25 minutes to complete. Not a great hourly wage, but I've made a couple of hundred dollars during time I would just be wasting surfing or being nonproductive anyway.

I am a guy from Pakistan and my account is run by my fiance in U.S as well as her own on two different addresses. We both have earned likely $200. I found it the MOST RELIABLE WEBSITE and 200% SCAM FREE...

And they're paying more than anyone.. But the problem is.. They only allow U.S residents.. but I swear.. It's a legitimate site.. NO SCAM AT ALL!

S.Guy   Bay Area, California

A flat-out scam, just asks participants to "rate" stuff that one sees spammed since day one, those "services" that are allegedly free where if one cancels within so many days there's no charge or a refund. Yet, so many lose track of it. This is just to hook one into those dreadful deals. The first survey offered was to get $5 for allowing a bunch of insurance agents to call me. NTY. jeez..It's just a way to hook "evaluators" into losing money, time, and hope with this... luckily the hope about Vindale went first. There should be a warrant out on these scammers.

I've gotten two checks from Vindale. I don't know why people keep saying it's a scam, you just have to follow the instructions. Some of the higher paying ones ($20 like you said) require a credit card but you can easily make $50 or more just by reading emails (they call it reward mail) and doing the daily consumer studies. They can take some time, but they really do pay, and the money adds up quicker than I expected it to.

Good, legit site. Follow the rules and stick to free daily studies. Its easy money people.

I was a skeptic at first. I have been completing surveys for over a month in my spare time. Some of them are a bit long however I have not spent a dime and have received one payment for $50 and am scheduled to get another one on the last day of the month. There are tons of questionnaires to complete that do not require the use of a credit card. Just watch what you click on and make some extra cash. They direct deposit the funds into my paypal account. They only make payments around the 15th and 30th. Only foolish people get fooled. I have great firewall detection and virus protection as well as identity protection. I would never pay to get paid and I dont. Dont forget though that Vindale is in business to make money not just give it away. Make sure you are consistent with your responses to question and read the info thoroughly. Good luck!!!

I am only 12 ! And I've gotten 100$ in 3 days :) this is a beautiful website .

If you pay attention, you won't get ripped off. When you give out your credit card number, you should probably read the fine print. (DUH.)

I do the free surveys/studies on Vindale's website and they've always paid me on time. I got my check 3 days after they sent it.

I have nothing but good things to say about Vindale. If you read your own comments, you'll realize your mistake. Pay attention when you give out personal information such as a credit card number. It's your own fault!!

They are scam artists that don't release people's money for the surveys they take, so therefore I'm turning them in for fraud.
