Vindale Research: Online Paid Survey Review (http://www.yourfreesurveys.com/wordpress/?p=53)
I don’t know about this one. I joined the site, but haven’t taken many of the surveys because I don’t like giving out my credit card information. The majority of the surveys sent are for “trial survey offers” which require you to give your credit card information before they will send you a product or offer of service. You can cancel the offer within a certain number of days and your card won’t be charged.
If you forget to do this, then you are stuck with a product or service that you never wanted in the first place. I have gotten emails from many people saying that their credit card had been charged hundreds of dollars for services that they forgot to cancel. Vindale Research does pay you for taking the trials, but that won’t matter much if you forget to let the company who provides the service know that you don’t want to continue. Your credit card will be charged monthly. I have a hard time keeping up with my hair appointments, so I know for sure that I wouldn’t remember to follow through on that!
With that said, if you do decide to join, it is absolutely imperative that you keep good records. This system can only work and be profitable if you keep extremely detailed records.
You will need to write down which surveys you took, which company offered it, the date you joined and the length of the trial period. Be sure to record how they require you to cancel, as some will only take a telephone call and other will require and email. If you don’t remember how it is to be done, you may think you have canceled when you actually haven’t. READ THE FINE PRINT.
