How do I get paid?

Payments from survey companies are usually made via PayPal or cheque.

When you initially register with a survey panel, you may notice that they ask you for your address. This is for demographic information purposes, but also so that the market research company has an address on file to mail payment to.

You may notice that some survey panels have a points system whereby they will give you a certain number of points for each survey you complete. This is often the case for survey panels who seek panelists in multiple countries. Instead of converting each survey incentive into a dollar amount, they simply assign a survey with a certain number of points. When the panelist is ready to cash out, they can usually do so in their own currency. Survey companies have these points systems simply for simplicity sake on their end. Currencies fluctuate daily, so having their own "currency" keeps things simple.

After you complete a survey, check the website to see how long it will take for you to receive payment. Then check your mail for your cheque!
