Study - AW9070 is for an $89 product(you get to keep) and a $10 Amazon code for the follow-up survey.
*Edit to put the right study #. So Sorry! I took two back to back and copied the wrong one *blush*.*

I've been a member since November. I've gotten a $5 Amazon code, almost to my second one for doing their surveys/message board questions. A $75 & free webcam survey, and now this. So I've done pretty well with them. The regular surveys aren't great, but they throw out some really good stuff now and again that make it worth while.

You and me both!!! While I did the first half I was thinking...'now why can't this be a product test?'. Then I got to the screen where it asked about the colors and started doing the happy dance because I knew where it was going. I've gotten a lot of really great pts, but this is definitely the best one yet!

Deals2luv: I have been a member for a couple of years, and this was the first time I have personally heard of them doing a PT. They are a GREAT comapny, though. You collect tokens for participating in activities, and the tokens are turned into amazon GC's. I have been paid by them several times. They are quite reliable, IMO. Perhaps someone else has some more information?

Tokens are redeemable for Amazon.com gift certificates.
In the forums go to New Members Information then Incentive Structure....you can read all about it there:)

You don't have to do anything. When you reach the cashout levels they automatically send you an Amazon giftcode. Somewhere on your home page there's a link that will show you the cashout threshholds and the amount you get for reaching them.

2000 - $15
3000 - $15
4000 - $15
5000 - $20
6000 - $15
7000 - $15
8000 - $15
9000 - $15
10000 - $50
If you're looking for your points there should be a box on the top right of your homepage that has your 'lifetime' tokens awarded.

Q: When will incentives be paid?
A: Incentives will be calculated at the end of every calendar month and dispersed via email by the 15th of the following month. For example, incentives earned in the month of July will be paid out by August 15th.
That's from the incentives structer page.

05-01-2009, 01:41 PM
Based on your answers to the previous questions, you qualify for a new, 6-month long research project hosted by Gongos Research!! If you agree, you will become a member of an exclusive online community called The Chocolate Corner Online Community and you will have the opportunity to be part of a new and different kind of research. As a member of this community you will have access to a forum where you will be able to discuss topics that concern your adult-oriented chocolate eating and giving trends during the holidays with other members like yourself! This community will be a part of Consumer Village, which you already participate in. The topics will be sponsored and provided by Gongos Research or you can even post your own dialogues and topics. Please keep in mind that you can still participate in other Consumer Village topics.
And the best thing is that you will earn Tokens for your participation in this community! The amount you earn will depend on how often you participate each month in the discussions or surveys that are posted. The more you participate, the more you have the chance to earn! The amount of time you put into the project will be up to you. Although, we are counting on your to visit The Chocolate Corner Online Community and post your thoughts a few times a week at a minimum.
The purpose of this project is to help manufacturers better understand the wants and needs of consumers like you! There will be no attempt to sell you anything as a result of your participation in this project.

I totally agree with your thoughts as it is alot of work for only $15 Amazon and takes 4-6 weeks of your time. If it paid $50, then I might feel differently.

does anyone knows how much the chocolate corner study pays?
I know its 30 points per post and this is from a email:
Each month, we are going to hold a drawing for a $100 Amazon Gift Card! To be eligible for this gift card, you need to participate in 6 of the 8 dialogue topics each month. The winner will be announced on The Chocolate Corner homepage. Make sure to provide thoughtful answers in order to qualify for the drawing each month.

After reading all that needs to be done...appears to involved, not sure if I want to put all that time into it?
I am feeling the same way, way too much work for $15.00

I am feeling the same way many of you are. I actually started the project last evening, and it is very detailed and involving for only $15.

I got into Party Central as well and appears that the length of the study keeps expanding. This is what's on the first congrats page:
Based on answers you've provided to a previous survey, you qualify for a new, 2-month long research project hosted by Gongos Research!!
So it went from a month......... to 4-6 weeks......... and now 2 months!? :eek:
I agree with you all that this is a lot of work for $15 and it looks like something fun to do if I had extra time to devote to this, but my goodness! I'm calculating at least 1/2 hour to hour a week on this. :(

Yep, I'm agreeing with you. The Chocolate one is nothing like I expected. Its going to take alot of time to answer all those questions "in Depth" like they want them.

This hole party central thing is so difficult to understand, i don't understand what to do really and for the pay over 2mo its so not worth even trying to understans it.

I think they just put 2 months b/c they're giving you a 2 month window to complete the questions. I've done 4 out of 6 sections already and it didn't take me more than 20 minutes (although I'm just planning an all-family brunch/welcome to summer thing).

This way you can cover all aspects. It only takes me a couple of minitues each time I login.They are giving us the 2 months so you can record everything that you would do to plan a party.

It IS very little pay for the amount of work that you need to put in, basically pennies. I could probably fill out several $1-5 surveys in the time that I take to do both of these studies and make more than what they're paying. Heck, I could go through the couch cushions and find more money in less time. I try to give a lot of detail, but my time is precious so the answers are kind of condensed. I've seen some of the replies on the forum, and I have to say they are getting exactly what they paid for.

Agreed. I'm thinking of ditching the Chocolate study. They want way too much detail on that one. I don't have the time to give that study all the deep info they seem to want..

We celebrated our son's high school graduation so it was perfect timing to do the Party Central Milestone Event study. I completed with photos, etc. Looking forward to the $15 Amazon payment to help offset the party costs! LOL;)

I actually finished it but it wont let me finish. I told the person in charge of the survey and she said I needed to go back and recheck my answers because maybe I didn't answer all the questions, I did answer them all and it still wont let me complete it. I told gongos that they can keep the $15, this is way too frustrating.

The chocolate community is just so so. The questions are too repetitive. I understand that candy manufactures want to know details, but the questions are really too much. We are not talking about buying a new car, just candy. I do not put that much thought into buying candy!

I agree...the questions are annoying. I've kinda given up on that one. Not worth my time.

It's a bit early, IMO, to email just yet :) It seems that payments are just now going out. If you have completed all of the requirements, and haven't been paid within the next few days, then you might want to email. :)

But every time you post something as long as its at least a sentence or two you get points for it. I didn't figure this out until the chocolate group. I joined in 2007. I, since being in the chocolate group have racked up enough points for at least a $25 GC. So it does pay to participate. Just thought you might like to know.:nod:

I like the survey way of doing things this week in the chocolate corner!
I had 3 different other surveys to complete this week as well. Never can tell what they may lead too..
