Payment survey

We asked our members a short series of questions to learn more about how they would prefer to receive survey payments. From the responses, we found that 76 percent would prefer to receive payment after each and every survey, while 21 percent would like to accrue points and redeem or cash out when they're ready. (3 percent answered Don't Know or Refused)

Next we asked about payment preference: 50 percent would prefer cash, 42 percent said gift cards, 1.5 percent said donations to a non-profit charity, and 5 percent chose other. (1.5 percent answered Don't Know or Refused) If members chose cash as their preference, we asked how they would like to receive it. The top choices were PayPal, gift cards, and Prepaid Visa card.

Lastly, we asked our members if they were to answer a short survey paid by means of a raffle, would they prefer several chances to win a smaller amount, such as 5 $25 gift cards, or fewer chances to win a larger amount, such as 1 $125 gift card. The preference was for more chances to win the lower amount.
