I signed up for Mindfield several months ago. I proceeded to fill out all of the “profile” surveys which took a while. They do not pay for these but I figured it would be worth it in the long run. I messaged CS a few times about not receiving any survey offers. They told me to be patient. Another couple of months went by and I still received no emails. At this point I finally decided to quit the site. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this site as there are many other sites that will actually send you survey offers.

They are usually long and only give you $1.00, they need to start giving more

Although I wouldn’t say Mindfield Online is a steady earner, it still puts money in my pocket so I’ve remained a member for over a year now.

They only send out about 2 or 3 survey invitations a week and out of those I might only qualify for 1 (if I’m lucky.). Alot of these surveys are housed outside of Mindfield and are more than occasionally, OTX surveys which alot of people complain about. But it’s nice that you can be rewarded between $1-$10 a survey depending on it’s length and topic.

Also, some of those surveys turn out to be product tests. I’ve received eau de toilette, shampoo and candy and gotten paid to test it and give my opinions.

Another welcome change has been Mindfield Online’s transition to PayPal payments, which is transfered in 7-14 days, although you can still opt to have your check sent in the mail if you’re willing to wait about a month to receive it.

Over the three months I have been a member of Mindfield Online, I have recieved a small amount of surveys and only qualified for a fraction of these. The questions take a long time to get through, and usually I don’t qualify anyway! It is time consuming, And I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

As mentioned by many above, this survey site is, well…ok. Just ok. Mindfield sends out about a dozen or so invites a month, but I find it excessively difficult to qualify for most of them. With that being said, however, Mindfield isn’t a time-waster – though I don’t qualify for many surveys, I have to at least give them credit for quicker-than-average screen-outs. And they don’t fill your inbox with useless sweepstakes-only or an excessive amount of OTX survey invites, either.

So while this may not be a huge earner for most people, I would agree with the sentiment that it’s at least worth registering with this one as one of your ’secondary’ sites. With a low pay-out threshold and an unobtrusive inbox presence, this may prove to throw you a few dollars on occasion.

I have been a member for a couple of years and I didn’t use to even bother reading the emails because I would never qualify because of my location (then what’s the point of accepting members who don’t reside in the continental US?) Now that I moved to the US I decided to give it a chance, but nothing has changed! I get many invitations and I NEVER qualify. It’s especially annoying when you’ve been 5 minutes into a survey and then bam, you don’t qualify, too bad for you. I’m starting to think they just trick you into answering the questions then say you don’t qualify so that they can’t reward you. I honestly think this is a waste of time.

i have been doing survey sites off and on for a long time. i have quit most because they never really valued my input with real incentives and it felt more like i was being raped than participating in something legit. Mindfield Online is different, they pay in cash for every survey – which is freakin awesome in addition to having some blow me away drawings and they actually post the winners. I plan on staying with this site because it’s the best and i’ve tried them all at one time or another. now gonna go make a few bucks doing a survey before going to work ha ha ha

I have been a member of other panels where you get entires into a drawing and it seems like you take survey after survey and never get anything. You may not get a huge volume of surveys from Mindfield but at least you get paid cash if you complete a survey. You also get entered into a drawing if you disqualify. I would recommend Mindfield.

I enjoy the surveys and the member service is excellent. On the rare occurrence of an issue it is always solved very quickly. I would highly recommend this site.

I have been a member of MindField for several years now. I love the new paypal feature. I am a stay-at-home mom and this has been perfect supplemental income for us. This is one of the only places I’ve found that actually give cash and prizes. I’ve cashed out as little as $10.00 and as much as $80.00 at a time.

I am on several panels and none compare to Mindfield. Easy to get paid and I get a lot of surveys. Most promise a lot you don’t really get that many. Mindfield has by far the most. I highly recommend them.

I have had a very nice experience with Mindfield. They have PayPal and You can cash out
with only $5.00 in your account. I have never had a problem getting my money. My checks averaged $21-$67 each time.

I have been a member of Mindfield Online for a little over two years. Since that time I have earned $82. I have not had as much success with Mindfield as I have other sites and there are several reasons. First, I don’t get that many invites…maybe one a week. And many times, when I get an invite I fail to qualify for the survey. Also, it takes a while to earn money as most surveys pay $1 to $2. And I am reluctant to take many of their surveys because they take about 15 to 20 minutes with compensation usually being a buck. Personally, I think a survey of that length should pay more. It also takes longer than average to have surveys credited to your account. But they do offer PayPal and you can cash out with as little as $5 in your account. As long as you know the pluses and minuses going in, Mindfield should be one site you consider.

I listed rewards/incentives as below average because I have never been paid, because I have NEVER qualified. I just delete my emails from them because I am not wasting my time to answer MANY questions only to be told We’re Sorry you don’t qualify for this…. Don’t bother!

22. Mindfield Online $77 ($10 po) (product tests) (Joined: 2008-02-01) ($71 rec’d)

It came as no surprise to me when Mindfield Online lowered their minimum pay out from $10 to $5 earlier this year, because I earned just $3 with them during my first five months and was only able to cash out after six months.

Many of their surveys are from OTX and pay from $1 to $6. I have earned $77 over the past 23 months from 36 surveys that I have qualified for and they also send product tests as well.

The most frustrating aspect of Mindfield Online, aside from not qualifying for very many surveys, is waiting for the incentives to be credited to your account; I have nine outstanding surveys from August 21 that I am still waiting to be credited for. Six of these are from November and December, so eight weeks is not too long to wait to be credited.
