Hi! We have a 2-3 minute web survey. Rather than being paid a set fee, they have set it up so that (1) in (5) people that fill out the survey will win a $50 BEST BUY GIFT card.

 

 

 

As you know, we usually pay per survey, but this is the way it came in.

 

 

 

Would appreciate if you could take a few minutes and fill it out!
