Panda Research is a company that markets itself as a survey panel and claim that they can help their members make extra money. The company is open to all residents of the United States at least 18 years of age with a valid email address.
The difference between Panda Research and other survey sites is that this company provides you with surveys that are linked to company offers and other research studies. Essentially they are an intermediary putting you in contact with a variety of paid offers available online.
How Does Panda Research Work?
Once you register with the company you will be in their database and eligible to receive survey offers. You can login into your account to see what is currently available and you will also receive additional offers via email.
Email offers will contain a login code and links to the site where the survey is offered. Some surveys will contain a pre-screener so you may be asked to answer some basic questions before being approved.
In some cases you may not qualify for their survey, this happens from time to time when the researchers are looking for very specific demographics or requirements for their study. Do not get discouraged and simply try again next time.
The surveys shouldn’t take longer than 10 or 15 minutes. If you are prompted to sign-up for any trial offers of products be sure to read all the fine print. You may be entering a subscription for a continual use of a product after the trial – be sure to read everything first.
Getting Paid:
Panda Research pays out only when you have reached $50 in your account and will subsequently pay you in 50 dollar increments. So you checks will be for $50 or $100 and the remainder will be carried over into the next pay period.
You will be paid via paypal on the 1st or 15th of every month after the 30 day waiting period starting from when you submitted and verified your cashout request.

What are "festival seasons"? It seems that could be considered any time of the year. I've emailed them twice and they've ignored me. I don't find a phone number anywhere, and I could definitely use the money. I sent an email to 7 On Your Side, and got a phone call back from someone there. She said she'd never heard of the company, though I was pretty sure that Michael Finney had mentioned it once. I don't know if she is planning on taking this up with him to check on it or not. She did tell me not to expect anything. Most of the products I got were junk and the companies kept billing my credit card. Only a few canceled when I asked them to. I had to get a different credit card number to keep some of them away.
