Hi Guys!
Just wondering if anyone knows how quickly Hagen Sinclair mails checks for online focus groups. I have one coming up Sept 9-11 that pays $125 and I am trying to figure out how long it may be before I get the check...
Anyone have an idea?
By the way, here is the info for the study. I think this is a repost, but if not have at it!
