This company only sends about 3-5 studies/surveys a month, but they usually have good pay and lots of PTs. They also pay well on the follow-up studies.
Links are always user-specific, so this is just a heads up thread!

I received this one today. It was different than normal. They didn't pay at all for the screener and the screener, but the screener only took 10 minutes (not the 25-30 that they estimated). It seemed like I might qualify for the follow-up.
NO PT - This one deals with energy efficiency in your home.

After a 3 minute screener I got this:
You are invited to participate in the survey. It will take about 15 minutes to finish. The panel member will receive a check for $4.00 if the following questionnaire is completed by the date specified in our email.
It's about DVDs and took 12 minutes, including the screener.

I always get the screeners, but for some reason, i never, ever get any actual surveys.
Do you know if they have a one member per household rule? If not, i could get my husband to sign up, he likes to take surveys, occasionally, it makes him really feel he's doing something :) then he gives me the checks or GC's:)

Screener led me to an offer to join a Mystery Shopping company which handles a popular steakhouse. I've never had a survey lead to a mystery shopping company before. Kind of weird.
I'm already signed up with this company, but I figured I'd post the heads up for the rest of you.
Would you like to be a mystery shopper for a steak restaurant in your local area?
A partner company to Decision Analyst (parent company of American Consumer OpinionŽ) is looking for mystery shoppers to do reports for them at the xxxxx Steakhouse in your local area.
Each week, they schedule mystery shoppers to go to xxxxx Steakhouse for lunch or dinner. After you visit the restaurant, you will log on to their site and complete a report online. Once you complete the report, you will be reimbursed up to $30 for a dinner visit or up to $25 for a lunch visit, plus an additional $10 if your report is completed properly and on time.
If you indicate below that you are interested in participating in this mystery shopper program, you may be redirected to our partner company's website where you must register to be a mystery shopper. Once registered, you will be contacted with more information. Please note that at no time while participating in this program will you be asked to send money to anyone.
I am just finding this thread so I will try to remember when I receive surveys to post them.
I just received this one and I qualified:
I live in Mobile, Alabama (which we are in an area affected by hurricanes). It was about protecting your home during a hurricane.
We have a survey coming up and would like you to answer a few screening questions to see if you qualify. If you qualify for and complete the follow-up survey, you will receive a check in the amount of $4.

I just got finished doing a survey and I found this on the bottom of the home page:
WARNING!
Mystery Shopper Scam
A fraudulent Canadian company is using the American Consumer OpinionŽ name to mail counterfeit checks for thousands of dollars, instructing you to deposit the check and then wire part of the money back to them. The company falsely claims the money you wire will go towards your training to become a mystery shopper. This is a criminal and illegal scam. Do not attempt to cash or deposit the check. Do not wire any money to anyone. Membership in American Consumer OpinionŽ is always free.
Thank you.
Anne Parks,
Vice President of American Consumer OpinionŽ

Congratulations, you have qualified for the Women's Anti-Perspirant Home Usage Study. The product is being mailed to you today, by Priority Mail. There will be instructions enclosed. Please use this product as you would your normal product. In about 3 weeks you will receive a notice that the survey is ready for you to complete. This time frame will fall over the Thanksgiving Holiday, so we leave the survey open longer than usual in case you are out of town and do not have access to a computer.
Got this email today about the PT
