As is the case with any online paid survey site, your earning potential with here depends a lot on the type of surveys you participate in.
Simply put, surveys that need a higher commitment of time from members or certain areas of expertise (like medical surveys) tend to pay higher than surveys that are short and can be taken by anyone.
Vindale’s surveys can be classified as below:
- Evaluations – $5 – $75
Basically a products/services trial offer, evaluations need you to give your honest opinions after the trial period expires. Apart from compensating you for the product’s/service’s cost, you are also paid for the time you put in. Generally, surveys like these pay the highest.
- Surveys – $1 – $5
The traditional surveys carried by the site are totally FREE and can be completed without any credit cards. All you need to do is fill-out questionnaires.
- Vindale Videos – Up to $0.25
You can earn money as well as exclusive discounts by watching videos online. These online videos are usually short and although they don’t pay more than 10 cents, they are much more enjoyable and quicker to get over with than your average online surveys!
- Reward Mail – Up to $0.10
Here you are paid money to open as well as interact with advertisements in your email.
- Deals – FREE
You are entitled to receive coupons and exclusive discounts based on your location.
- Referrals – $5
You are paid to refer more people to Vindale with each referral earning you $5.
- Submit a Payment Photo – $5
You can earn $5 by sending in your photo with your payment.
- Cash Contests – Up to $15
The site tends to carry cash contests every day of the week. Make sure to check those out.
Cash Payments
Another noteworthy point about Vindale is that the company prefers to pay its members in cash rather than use some rewards points system.
This is in stark contrast to the rest of the online survey industry as most such sites have taken to paying via reward points. And while the rewards points system is good enough and simple, not everyone tends to like them.
For instance, I usually prefer to have my rewards points exchanged for either a direct check payment or a transfer to my PayPal account.
The other thing I absolutely hate doing is converting reward points into dollars like I would need to do in another country! Thankfully, Vindale doesn’t give any cause for concern here as it tells you exactly the amount of money you are going to earn, i.e. in simple dollar and cents terms!
