Little pay for time spent as far as I am concerned. You really have to be good at scheduling these things. 10 buck plus food for a bar/restaurant survey, 7 bucks for a Wal-Mart survey, etc. The great deals are the out of the way places that they have problems getting people to sign up for. Then you can get 30-40 dollar bonuses...... The paperwork is usually easy and has to be done in a certain way and time frame.
