This is a company that many of you have used and like, so I wanted to link up to the fact that they are taking applications right now. Taking surveys from home is a good way to add extra money to your household income, and reputable companies prove that making money from home and making money online really is a viable way to help provide for your family. Vindale is a FREE sign up and offers chances to take surveys from home that vary in their pay-out. However, this post is about talking about the pros AND cons of Vindale, so please keep reading!
I have heard both good and bad about Vindale, and am curious if you there are of you out there who can opine. Specifically, I want to open up this blog post to some discussion points about Vindale – the good and the bad.
- One of the most critiqued aspects of Vindale is that they use many “surveys” that require trial offers that need credit card sign ups. I have often taken part in these types of programs in order to fulfill requirements to get gift cards, for example, and have often written on this blog that making sure you cancel offers is ESSENTIAL. Canceling programs should be an easy, simple, and respectful process.
- Vindale also has many offers that require a small purchase fee upfront. You can read reviews (see below) about what people think about these and if they are worth it. If you are highly organized it can be, but otherwise it may not be worth the time.

According to surveypolice.com this site requires you to use your credit card to purchase items:
status: “ALERT~this company is involved in the practice of sugging which means selling under the guise of research. They are not a real market research company. Many of their surveys require members to use their credit card to purchase items or services.’
REVIEWED 8 times without any positive feedback.

Thanks again Sister Tipster!
It is incredibly important to be as informed as possible.
Read some of the positive reviews I found above, and make sure to read the negative ones as well!

I didn’t like them because you had to buy products (trial offers) and use your credit card. There are too many companies out there that pay you to test products and you don’t have to buy anything! I have received several product test with surveys lately and have had a great time! And it hasn’t cost me anything! Thanks and take care everyone. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe!
