I became a member about 4 years ago and when I joined, you had to hunt around the internet for a banner. Seriously. There were no invitations or links around – you had to find a banner and the banner had to display the demographic category you belonged to (i.e. 18-34 female, etc). It was crazy! But now I’m not seeing any age or gender specific requirements, so take a minute and sign up! They are looking for men ages 18-24, so if you know any, send this over to them! You will get paid $3 cash for every survey you complete in addition to being entered into their sweepstakes. It’s a great company!
