Collect Pointes for Online Studies!
For our panel members who complete Online Surveys, we are now rewarding participation with Online Focus Pointes™. Why the change? Using Online Pointes allows us to offer additional benefits for participating in FPG Online studies. We will soon be able to award Pointes for referring friends and family, for “Liking” us on Facebook and “re-tweeting” on Twitter.
100 Online Pointes™ are equal to one dollar. When you have accrued 2,000 Online Pointes™ you may request payment, just as you did before. You may also request payment after three months, even if you have accumulated less than 2,000 Online Focus Pointes.™ This change does not affect in any way the "value" of completing an Online Survey. The average incentive in the past was between $1 and $10, whereas now the average will be between 100 and 1000 Pointes. You may view your accumulated Pointes by logging into www.focusgroup.com and going to My Account > Participation Information > Online Studies.
The Online Focus Pointe™ Program is for Online Surveys only. Eligibility Surveys for focus groups and other types of studies are not affected by this change and will not use the Online Focus Pointes™ Program. Eligibility Surveys (Screeners) are taken to see if you qualify for a focus group or other type of in-person or telephone interview and are not considered to be an Online Survey.
As always, every time you take a Focus Pointe Global Online Survey, you receive one entry into the Focus Pointe Global Monthly Sweepstakes.
