My pet peeve when companies try to get people to pay upfront to receive online surveys!!!

With marketing companies paying survey sites big dollars to rake in participants, there’s plenty of money to go around without people having to hand over their credit card details and cash to get a piece of the action.

The company where I do my day job commissioned around 100 surveys 6 months ago and paid out a a tidy sum of over $20,000 for a fairly quick and dirty report of the findings. Knowing survey companies pay around $1 to $5 to online participants, someone’s getting far too much dough in the middle to be asking for those participants to pay upfront for the privilege!

It’s pure theft I tells ya! Theft and downright rudeness you’ll never see on

I love the online coupon sites–very few times have I not found at least 10% off or free shipping…definitely worth the time to look for them!

That’s so true. I pass dozens of boxes everyday at work but always forget to take them home. When it’s time to send something from home I never have anything and have to buy the darn box at the post office.
