MindsPay is a market research website that pays its clients for participating in surveys, focus groups, and product reviews. In addition, MindsPay may from time to time allow advertisers to use their clients to submit feedback on individual ads or ad campaigns.
Like all paid survey sites, working with Minds Pay isn’t likely to pay the bills, but participating in market research online is generally a simple way to make extra money. Minds Pay, like all legitimate market research websites, requires no fee to become a member, just an email address and your completion of a general demographic questionnaire.
Once you’ve become a member of MindsPay, you can use their website to find surveys you would like to participate in. When surveys arrive that you may qualify for, you’ll be given an email invitation to come and participate in that survey as well.
In order to participate in MindsPay’s research, you must be using Internet Explorer, and you must be a member of PayPal in order to get paid.
So is Minds Pay Legit?
Well, as Minds Pay is free to join and pays its clients in real, legal tender, it’s considered legitimate. There are, however, a couple considerations I would point out.
First, while MindsPay does offer its share of regular, run of the mill opinion surveys, many of its surveys are actually based toward product trials. This means that you’ll have to sign up and try a product or service, ie enter your credit card information, in order to participate in the survey or trial.
Since most of these signups have free trials, this doesn’t seem like a big deal. However, if you don’t read the fine print or forget to cancel a service within the trial period, you’ll likely be required to pay a fee. As surveys rarely pay more than $5 at the high end, and being charged for a service tends to be quite a bit more, unless you are very organized you could end up losing a lot more money than you are earning.
Secondly, Minds Pay pays out their members in multiples of $50, which means that you would have to earn a minimum of $50 before you ever eligible for payment. While this isn’t unheard of, it is quite a high payout for an industry that pays an average of $1-$2 per survey. If you need or choose to quit for any reason before you reach $50, you simply won’t receive any compensation for your services at all.

As far as inboxdollars mentioned above, when you reach $30 you can cash out but there's a $3 fee, hence the $27 payout. I cash out at $33 and get a check for $30, and then they add $3 back to my account for being a valued member. Not sure if that's when you reach a certain status or not.
I'm doing inboxpays and am unsure of that still, could be like Mindspay.
Survey Spot and Opinion Outpost are decent, I can earn $10 (into PayPal) quickly.
I just earned a $20 check from Toluna within a few weeks.
I like Ipsos i-say, quickly earning and will have $15 into PayPal any day.
Valued Opinions is decent, you earn gift cards.

These people are scammers, they don't pay you for what you earn, and you have no way to argue it with them.
They have polls (contests) on their facebook page, and when people win, they don't pay them.
When you question why you didn't receive the payment for winning, thye block you from their facebook page.
Does this make them look guilty of the claims? I believe so.
They have "Like us on Facebook for extra earnings" and "Tweet us for extra earnings" on their website, and neither one is true. You cannot earn ANY MONEY for liking or tweeting about them, and this is, in my opinion, FALSE ADVERTISING.
My advice...stay far away.
LOL!

No doubt, all these "Supporters" of MindsPay, are EMPLOYEES of that company, so they get PAID to post HERE about how "AWESOME or EXCELLENT" the site is...
