Ok, well, ever since CLER has gotten more active, based on suggestions and approval from administration, I have decided to start this.

I will post few things i noticed in the last year with CLER, if you have something to add, use wiki and if it's worthwhile i'll add to OP.

1. You MUST provide SSN or other means for them to track $. Don't like it, fine, but it won't change.

2. Most of their studies have different requirements and limited slots, so do not wait, as soon as you see new study posted, signup and let others know.

3. Payments are usually done in Amazon GC or Money order(sometimes a choice).

4. I recieved last payment within 10 days of completing the study, in past, on average it was 3-4 weeks, so give it time.

5. Their studies are full of tricky things, if you took the last study you would know what i mean, so always do them HONESTLY or you will be removed.

6. As usual, unless specifially told, always assume that survey contents/topics are confidentical. Do not talk about the details, as it will influence others!

Thanks, Iconian. :D Glad to see you got approval on it first. ;)

*cough 6. speficially/specifically :hug:

Yeah, I got better things to do but thought this would be more fun. ;)

:thanks: We definitely needed this thread! Good idea!

Thanks Iconian!!! Now time to advertise it so people will start posting here..

Thanks Iconian, You actually left the Lounge today??? hahaha Seriously, good job.

Thanks

Thanks op, I got it stickied!

Man, I wish these things actually showed up for me when I go to the website. Everyone seems so excited and then I go and it's like, "NOPE, NOTHING." Why?!
Well, I'll always have Stanford! :D :heart:

thanks so much

You have to provide a SSN so they can report the $ they give you as part of your income to the IRS. You will pay taxes on the things you get from them....

You have to provide a SSN so they can report the $ they give you as part of your income to the IRS. You will pay taxes on the things you get from them....

You and they are only required to report this income if you earn more than $600 a year. Chances are, you wont be earning that much. They are just covering their bases in the rare case that someone actually does and the IRS calls them on it.

http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html

You may be required to file information returns to report certain types of payments made to independent contractors during the year. For example, you must file Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, to report payments of $600 or more to persons not treated as employees (e.g. independent contractors) for services performed for your trade or business. For details about filing Form 1099 and for information about required electronic or magnetic media filing, refer to information returns.

You have to provide a SSN so they can report the $ they give you as part of your income to the IRS. You will pay taxes on the things you get from them....

You have to pay taxes from any source that pays you over 600.... I just make sure I never hit that magical number with any of the companies I work with :)

You and they are only required to report this income if you earn more than $600 a year. .]


Nope. They are only required to report to the IRS if they pay you 600.00 or more. YOU are required to report ANY income you get from them. Just because they aren't responsible to reporting it doesn't mean that you're not required to do so.

Of course most people won't report it....but that doesn't mean it's legal.

You have to pay taxes from any source that pays you over 600.... I just make sure I never hit that magical number with any of the companies I work with :)

600.00 just means there's a paper trail formed and sent to the IRS which means you can't avoid reporting it. Legally you have to report ANY and ALL income you earn. Just because no one tells on you doesn't mean you're off the hook on reporting it.

If you ever get audited and they look at your bank account statements....better hope you didn't deposit those checks or you'll have to explain why you didn't report that income.

Thanks as always iconian ... these studies usually take longer to pay out but we are sometimes so used to the quick pay from Stanford that we forget that just because it is the internet it does not mean quick.. They are one of my favs in surveys !!! Always be honest and always be fair...for those of us that honor these studies where ever they are from, it will help all of us in the end !

These surveys still come about so irregularly, I prefer that this board went back to the heads up threads for each individual one. Perhaps now that school is in session there will be a need for this, but, well, its not the case as of now.

If you ever get audited and they look at your bank account statements....better hope you didn't deposit those checks or you'll have to explain why you didn't report that income.

Most Amazon GC's don't end up in my bank account.

Right!! lol.

Is there a survey now, it is hard to understand this post for me

Nope. i think this is going to be like that Stanford post. A little BS, a little heads up.

Ok hope it is not like Standford and it takes you out of their system for no reason while other people get to get back in

I haven't had any surveys through here since signing up.

Thanks!

I just have to add... why do we have this thread? It was just brought to my attention that if you have a post that would belong here that it can be posted and not be considered a repost outside of this thread?


So I can see a post here and run post it in the main thread and it will not be a repost?

um, no idea about the repost stuff, but I personally think an official thread will be perfect for people to subscribe so they get email notifications of studies immediately. JMO.

THanks got in FInally!

Thanks again for this tread Iconian. It worked out good having this stickied!!

I kinda wondered myself when i went to post this originally, but i didn't want to make anyone upset by posting it twice... so i just figured i'd put it in the CLER thread... :) i've got it as a sticky on my profile, so i see it all the time anyway. It's up to y'all, i think more people would be likely to see it if it was posted in the main place, rather than this thread. :shrug: but either way's fine w/ me. I'll find it either way. :)

Just annoying having it in multiple places.

Did anyone get the survey that was supposed to start at 11:30 today?

Did anyone get the survey that was supposed to start at 11:30 today?

I signed up for it, but I didn't get it yet either. That's weird!!

I haven't got the email yet, but i thought it was on central time.

and you have until tomorrow to take it.

I was about to ask you guys about it...I havent gotten it yet either and it's definitely eastern time:

On the day of the study, Wednesday (10/3/07) around 11:30 am (EST), you will receive an email from cler@hbs.edu. This email will contain the URL link to the on-line survey as well as a unique 3-digit passcode. You will have until Thursday (10/4/2007) at 7:30 pm (EST) to complete this survey. During the survey, you will be prompted to enter your unique 3-digit passcode. You must enter the passcode exactly as it appears in the email in order to receive payment.

Has anyone emailed them?

Has anyone emailed them?

i just did about 15 minutes ago... :) i'll letch'all know what i find out!

Has anyone received an email? I emailed them a while ago and have heard nothing back from them.

I haven't got the email yet, but i thought it was on central time.

Harvard is here in Boston and it's Eastern time :)

Got my email already (about 15 minutes ago).

Just got my email 4 minutes ago

I just finished the survey and it took me to surveymonkey's home page... no confirmation or anything. I hope it was actually done.

It did the same thing to me...A little strange...I thought there would be a conclusion or conformation...

I just finished the survey and it took me to surveymonkey's home page... no confirmation or anything. I hope it was actually done.


If you still have the page up, click "back" on your computer screen and click "Click here"(or something like that...it's a link) instead of the "Done" button. I did the same thing at first but then hit back and noticed the other link.

It went through fine for me after I clicked on that link. I got all the way through to a "Thanks for your participation!" screen.

Weird - mine took me to a confirmation page. It was such a quick survey!

I just finished the survey and it took me to surveymonkey's home page... no confirmation or anything. I hope it was actually done.

me too and I closed the page so I dunno what to do :(

Finished...Thanks!!! again OP

All I see is a "done" button at the bottom and an "exit this survey" link at the very top. "Exit this survey" sounds like a cancel button... is that what you clicked for confirmation???

were there any questions after vacuum ones? because i know i hit "next" or "done" not leave this survey, and after the robot vacuum question, it took me to syrveymonkey. what should i do? I already closed that window.

I got the same thing as you. I hope it submitted!

I think we all got different surveys.

Did anyone ever get paid for the previous CLER survey? ($10 Amazon gift card)
I took the survey, it was very long and involved...and I never got paid or heard anything.
I'm enrolled in this survey but I don't know how I feel about taking it since they didn't pay for the last one...
Anyone?

You guys after the vaccum questions, it should be another set of questions on wine, after the wine questions there's a page that says click the "click here" button (in orange) and at the bottom it still has options to click on "prev" or "done"...you dont click the done button because that is NOT a next button. I think they did that to see if people were really reading the survey or not but once you click on the orange link, you have to reenter your passcode and then it asks you a few more questions. At the end, it says thanks for your participation...once you click on that new link, it closes out survey monkey so if you guys are getting the survey monkey homepage, you did it wrong.

Wow, that was sneaky of them. I answered the survey honestly and was paying attention, but I guess I didn't catch that part. Thanks!

Hmmm,my survey was a little different but I did have to enter my passccode again after the vaccum questions.

What am I supposed to do? I clicked on my email link and it takes me right back to the surveymonkey page, like i'm done.

And how am I supposed to have done something wrong?????? I was answering questions, and being honest, clicked the button to go to the next page, and when I came back from the fridge from when I was getting a drink, it was goen, and the surveymonkey page was up. **edit** just read the previous post better, so they were making sure I was paying attention, and now i''m screwed out of a survey payment. Right?

Should I email CLER about it? Anyone have an email address?

I got the confirmation page too. It was very short.

Just reply to the email they sent you.

Hmmm,my survey was a little different but I did have to enter my passccode again after the vaccum questions.

Hmm...I just know mine asked on 3 different products, they might have changed how they asked questions per person but on that last page it says "you will be asked to re-enter your passcode on the next page" or something and then you see that link.

I can see how if you are skimming and reading, you might just click "done" thinking it was the next button. I was about to click it too!!

Also I may be wrong guys, but alot of surveys I have done lately have put tricks in them to make sure people are really reading (not to say you guys ARENT reading because I know you get so use to taking surveys, you just click without thinking on blank pages), it might really be a error. I just know once I clicked on that link, it was no longer hosted by survey monkey so I assume if that's the ending you get it might be wrong.

I got teh survey monkey page too and then clicked back.....my page still only gives the options of "PREV" or "DONE" so what am I suppose to do? Of course prev would take me back and done takes me to the survey monkey page.

there is no link above the prev and done button, its an orange click here button?!?

I have nothing except "PREV" and "DONE" no link or click here button.

odd...maybe there are different versions and that's how that one ends?!?

I hope!

I still haven't received anything!

I just emailed them, so we will see. I told them that it went to the survey monkey after I clicked done (as PREV and DONE were my "only" choices and I explained that to them) and it does not normally do that when I take surveys for them. I will let you all know if I hear anything.

I did almost accidentally hit the wrong button though as there were 2 at the very bottom where the next sign normally is.But,directly under the question was the button to push to enter your passcode and continue on to the next product.

I got 3 sets of product q's. Two in surveymonkey and then I entered my passcode again in MIT and got another set of product choice q's. Then I got "Thank you for your participation". It did not ask me for my passcode a third time (at the end of the survey). Don't know if I should close the window or not..

heads up I just got paid for the attraction study.

That's how mine went as well. I figure the Click Here thing was to make sure you were paying attention? Hope I did it right.

You beat me to it, I was just coming to say that!!!:lol:

nothing sneaky in what they did. the first page of the survey before we go in, clearly states that you will need to click on the 'click here' link. So does the page that comes soon after the 2nd part. And, the email sent out had a clear instruction saying they may be using techniques to make sure people are paying attention...

Nice to know somebody else reads those emails and the survey instructions. :)

PLEASE NOTE:

There may be items in this survey that are designed to ensure that you are paying full attention and exerting honest effort to this survey. Evidence to the contrary may be used as a reason to deny payment.

I had no choices of buttons to click at the end but "Previous" and "Next"...then it took me to the surveymonkey page. Hope I actually get credited for completing it and get paid! :D

Ditto!

this is ridiculous... There is NO PAGE at all that ever said anything about hitting "Click Here" in my survey... There was NO LINK at the end of the survey other than the <<Prev & Done... This is aggravating. I even read every word carefully and made sure i followed every direction... :mad:

Maybe there were 2 different surveys sent out? because on the initial first screen, it talked about filling out a questionnaire, and then having to evaluate 2 different product scenarios, which i did. I gave my opinion for the 2 scenarios... i can only hope there were 2 different versions of the study. :grr:

I didnt even read that!! LOL.

okay so for those who are unsure, it did ask demographic questions before it ended.

After that one survey I did with the trick questions (push "6" for this answer) I am careful in all surveys.

I think we all just got different ones, I would sweat it too much.

the first page of the survey before we go in, clearly states that you will need to click on the 'click here' link.

I read my entire intro page and it did not say that at all.
My survey also ended abruptly and there was definitely no visible link. It could have to do with browsers too. Sometimes not all "buttons" or graphics show in all browsers. I know that I did not just overlook it. I was reading everything.

A friend of mine did the survey, did have that message in the intro, did have the link, but his survey was about 3 totally different products than mine was.

thats weird :( hope it gets resolved. I usually do my surveys with my popup and script blockers turned off, because most of the buttons don't work that way.

Ok I have to say it honestly I am tired of having the main heads up for cler thread and then people just randomly posting them in the freebies too....... I have to keep clicking everywhere and comparing it to the studies I have already done from this thread and blah blah... I dont understand why it cant all be in one spot... stanford is? Pinecone is?

I had no choices of buttons to click at the end but "Previous" and "Next"...then it took me to the surveymonkey page. Hope I actually get credited for completing it and get paid! :D

My survey was like yours - it just ended abruptly and no link at all to click. Like what Clothos had.

My page said evaluate TWO products as well and mine ended like yours so we will see. I still have not heard back from them. Will post when/if I do.

I sent them an e-mail about what happened yesterday with the survey. This is what I wrote to them: "I tried to this survey today but I'm not sure if it went through or not. I was answering questions about a robot vacuum and I clicked NEXT, which ended my survey and took me to survey monkey home page. Can you please let me know if I filled out the survey correctly? If not, can you re-send it to me so I can do it again."

This was their reply:

Thanks for checking in with us about that. I checked with the researchers and they have received your passcode and data. You do not need to take the survey again.

As we noted, we will send you the payment within 2 weeks.

Maybe they are trying to see who posts on here, and compare the descriptions of surveys?

Maybe I should take my tin foil beanie off, except that is a technique used by some places ( ok mostly the military, lol, still wearing my tin foil hat) it's called a canary trap or something like that. They give everyone a slightly different survey, and then they can trace whos talking by what they say.

Scary.

Thanks for this site, I like making money for little or no work...J/K! I'm working on christmas shopping already, gotta save some money.!!
I'm happy to know that this site is not a scam, too many scams out there!

Thanks for the heads up.

do you ever get the online studies? If you don't it's because when you sign up you ahve a choice between local studies or local and online studies. Maybe it's not your case.

I usually do get into these when someone posts a heads up. But I don't have them for the last 2 times, makes me nervous...

Not there for me either, but thanks.

awesome, got it! thanks

Thanks!

It was there on my list. Thank you!

The new study up today looks like the same study that was up yesterday, so I think you've only missed 1 study, but sorry it wasn't up for you. Hope you get in on the next one.

Anyone got paid for 03/06/08 Study $5 amazon It said two weeks and is past that

I got in the one the other day, no new ones yet though

I have not gotten the $5 Amazon yet from the 3/06/08 study either.

Anyone got paid for 03/06/08 Study $5 amazon It said two weeks and is past that

Hmmm, are you SURE it said 2 weeks? Every single other CLER survey I've ever done has specified 4 weeks or 30 days.

I thought it said 2 weeks too, but that was my first survey with them I could be wrong:)

It said two weeks I still have email

anyone get the email for the study that is happening today? The email said between 11 and 2.

anyone get the email for the study that is happening today? The email said between 11 and 2.

Nope. That's odd.

I thought it said 11 and be prompt.I didn't get it either way though.

I haven't gotten today's yet either, but the confirmation email I got said between 11 am and 2 pm and then we had until tomorrow at 5 pm to finish it up so maybe they haven't sent it out yet. My email did same be prompt too! :lol:

PS -- They do pay so please don't worry -- these are grad students (mostly) so they are like the rest us and get behind on whatever but I have done and been paid for many studies from them over the last couple years.

Just took it!!!

Done. It was very short.

I guess "be prompt" means make sure you do it in the one day window that we gave you.

I worked as a research assistant at a university before and I can say that there is no need to worry about payment from university studies. All of the studies go through an approval + budget process and the researchers cannot cheat you or they will be in trouble. The only shortcoming that there is generally no rule about the time of payment, which means a researcher can pay you in 2 days, another one can take 2 months, but they will pay. Generally they would not process payments until they check the answers - almost all surveys have control questions in them to make sure that people actually read the questions so once again the payment may take some time but don't worry.

wow, that was soo not 15 minutes long

Got mine and just finished it :)

Thanks! Not there for me, but my husband got in.

i got in!

Thanks Vixen! Got in!! :hug:

Thank you, got in :) Is a money order different from a check?

Thank you, got in :) Is a money order different from a check?
not really, you cash it the same way. I buy money orders sometimes, it is a good way to pay people when you don't want to share your bank info, home address, etc with them.

I use it on Ebay sometimes.

You can cash them at banks, and most stores that allow check cashing ( although Wal-Mart won't let me)

Thank you, got in :) Is a money order different from a check?

I always tell people money orders are like checks, but the funds are guaranteed. and your bank shouldn't charge you a fee to cash them.

Ah ok, thanks Thrift and Lovelyone!

Thanks, got in that one.

Got in, thank you!

I always tell people money orders are like checks, but the funds are guaranteed. and your bank shouldn't charge you a fee to cash them.

FYI not all M.O. are guaranteed, just the USPS ones. I learned the hard way so I no longer get them from check cashing places or grocery stores.

thank you so much

i got in-thanks!

what do you mean?

all the ones I buy and use and have cashed have been western union ones. i have never had a problem with one. that's why many places tell you to fill out the m.o as soon as you get it, because if it's blank and gets lost, anyone can cash.

so by guaranteed I just meant, you don't have to worry about it "bouncing" or your bank not cashing them.
