Pinecone Research Payments

I forgot to post a payment I received from Pinecone Research on the 11th of this month. I just got another payment from them today as well for a survey I completed last night. I am currently testing a product for them as well so after I complete the follow up survey I should receive another $3 via PayPal. Currently I am just waiting on them to email me the link.
Here are the payment proofs below:

Viewpoint Forum Payment

I received another payment from Viewpoint Forum, like always it was within 10-14 business days! This time I cashed out my points in the amount of $12.53, I have added this amount in the "Survey Site Earnings" section on the right sidebar. Viewpoint Forum is one of my personal favorites just for the fact that you are fairly compensated for taking their surveys and payment is always on time. Their surveys are enjoyable and are not repetitive like other sites. Below is my payment proof:


Unlike other survey sites Viewpoint Forum does not allow you to join via their website, you have to ask a member of Viewpoint Forum for an invitation to join the panel. You may be able to find members through online forums, you can Google "Viewpoint Forum Invite" or you can send me a message via email for an invitation. Another good source is Lacie's Blog, she also sends Viewpoint invites upon request.

MindField Online Payment & $1000 Give Away

Sorry for not posting anything new in a week, I had a very busy and tiring week and didn't have much time to be online.

I had requested a check from Mindfield Online for $27.00 and received it with 10 days. I am very surprise on how fast the check arrived, I requested it on February 2nd, the check was prepared on the 11th and I received it on the 13th. Kudos to Mindfield for fast payment, usually it takes 4 weeks or more for most survey panels to process and send checks out. This is my first payment from Mindfield and I am glad to say they are a paying survey panel. Payment proof below.
Before they redesigned their website I did not get very many invites to participate in their surveys, I would get maybe one a month and didn't qualify for most of them. I did, however, forget to complete all my profile surveys for Mindfield so this may have also effected the number of invites. Just goes to show you should complete all profile surveys to insure you get all the survey invites you should be getting.

Since we are on the subject of updating profiles, if you update all your profiles you will be entered into a $1000 Stimulus Giveaway. For every profile that you update you will receive one entry into the sweepstakes, there are 15 profiles so you will have 15 entries to win the $1000. When you log into your Mindfield Online account, in the "Member Home" section there will be a link that says "Wanna win $1000? Click here!!!". You will be taken to a page that explains the Stimulus Giveaway, below is what that page states for those of you that don't feel like logging in. ;)

MindField Online will be giving away $1000 on June 1, 2009. Your opportunity to win is easy, simply fill out or update your information on all of the targeted member questionnaires. Everyone you complete or update will be worth one entry into the drawing and put you that much closer to the $1000 grand prize! Remember, the more information you provide, the more paid survey opportunities you will have. It will also limit the number of extraneous invitations you receive as we will have better targeting information for you. The surveys are short and easy so fill them out today. $1000 could be on its way to you this June 1st.

Opinion Outpost Update

After completing a couple surveys for Opinion Outpost the other day I saw a message posted in my members section. The message was stating that they want to make sure checks are promptly sent to the members who have requested them. They also went on to say that if you experience a problem with the processing of your check they would like you to contact by calling them at 1-877-254-1234 or by emailing them at panel@opinionoutpost(dot)com. They will look into and immediately rectify the situation.

It seems like Opinion Outpost really wants members to be happy with how they are processing payments, which is defiantly good to know! Your2cents should take a few pointers from Opinion Outpost concerning their payment processing, it's been over 2 months since I requested my check and still have not received it. I requested it on 12/2/2008 and it just got sent out 2/6/2009. I thought they said they were improving the way they process payments? The first check I received from Your2cents, 7/29/2007, was sent out within 3 weeks, it looks like the processing time has gotten worse not better.

I like their surveys and product tests but they really need to speed things up. Let's hope that after they are finished with the whole new point system it will get better. I still am not sure what to think about the point system. I haven't been invited to a point survey as of yet so I can't tell if it's going to be a good or bad change, cash is always better in my opinion.

Updates & Advisory Panel Survey

Mindfield has lowered their minimum withdrawal from $10.00 to $5.00, this is effective immediately. You can log into your account and to the right you will see the cash out threshold is now $5.00. After hearing this I decided to withdrawal my earnings since next time it won't take as long to reach $5 instead of $10. They do pay via check only, but at least the minimum is now less.

I have sent out quite a few Viewpoint Forum invitations, if you would also like an invite you can email me at SurveyDirectory@gmail(dot)com. Yesterday after sending out invitations I withdrew my earnings, they sent me an email conformation stating that I will receive the check within 10-14 days. This will be my second payment from them, i will post payment proof when I receive it.
