Pay is Great. Screening is "meh". Payout Processing Times: BRUTAL
Disclaimer: This is in no way a complaint. They WILL pay you. You just need to be incredibly patient. I am at fault for not taking the "6-8 week wait" notice very seriously. So yeah, this is definitely not ideal for if you want money very quickly. I paid for transportation to and from my study. Turns out I was just an extra, and got sent home with full pay promised. This has happened for both of the only 2 studies I have ever traveled to. I had to wait over 2 weeks alone just for the credits to be applied to my Focus Group wallet. Sure enough it was full pay. Now It's another 4-6 weeks of waiting once you redeem your points for a digital gift card. If you're a person already with savings and don't mind waiting so long, Focus Group is perfect. If you're impatient, look for the studies that specifically state that they will pay you outside of the Focus Group website.
