The idea behind Panda Research is a good one: take surveys and get paid for it. It's very simple. Mainly the surveys that the company was talking about is you sign up for various offers using your credit card and you get money credited to your account. Well, that's fine and good, but even if I fufilled my part of the bargin (i.e. completing "special offers") I had a difficult time getting payment from them. It states on the website that I would get paid within 6 weeks. Well, 6 weeks came and went and I still didn't get paid. I decided to be a good sport about it, and wait maybe two more weeks. After two weeks, there still was no payment. I was getting a little irritated at that point because even though I wasn't getting a large sum of money from these people, I did decide to give it a try to see how their services works. I fufilled my end of the bargin, but in essence, I had to get on them many times to find out what was going on. Finally after about seven emails asking what was going on, they emailed me back and told me that I'd receive it within 90 days. I waited 90 days, but still no payment. However, on the 90th day, I got an email from Paypal informing me that they had transfered the money owed to me into my account. I didn't start using this service with expectations that I'd get rich doing this. My main motivation was curiosity. Actually, I was expecting to get a little cash on the side, which I ultimately did get. However, I will strongly recommend anybody who is considering using this type of service to first research the history of the company (perhaps using forums like "Viewpoints"). You won't get rich doing this, but if you choose a legit service, you'll get a small amount of cash after waiting a long time.
