Title: Vindale Research
Post by: mgdellaven on March 02, 2010, 11:21:42 pm
Note: the tutorial survey required to receive credit for this offer is a signup for creditreport.com. If you have ever signed up for creditreport.com before, the website will not allow you to do it again - it'll prompt you to reopen your account instead of opening a new one. This won't count as a sign-up, you'll not receive credit from Vindale, and therefore you'll not receive credit from FC.

Just wanted to give a heads-up to people, as I found this out the hard way.

It is very surprising that they would make you sign up for a service that costs money.    If I am reading this correctly you must sign up for the credit report service to join Vindale period and then you will be rewarded at FC?  So, it seems that you must also want to order the credit report if you are at all interested in this offer and wanting to receive credit for it.  I guess there is more to Vindale than just signing up to take paid surveys.  Thanks alot for the heads up!   :thumbsup:

I too was surprised by the requirement. I did not complete the offer. It requires a credit card and mine have been abused enough.

Seems to have been taken down - it's no longer on my list, nor have I been credited for it.

Thanks for the info.  I have completed half of the offer, but did receive an email to complete tutorial.   But if they are asking for CC,  and sign up, no way am I completing the offer.

I think Vindale is a dishonest site. Their so-called surveys are not really surveys, but offers, most of which require a credit card. I checked them out a long time ago. i think they will give you a survey after you do the trial offers, so actually you are doing twice as much work as the sites that just pay you to do offers (like FC).

Thanks for the heads up. I signed up for Vindale Research a month ago and they required me to do tasks/offers that I didn't want to do.

I totally agree. They just try to get you to sign up for other supposedly other research and survey sites OR sign up for offers that cost you money. PLUS I HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN ANY CREDIT FOR JOINING THEM HERE AT FUSION CASH!!

I thought about that one and am so glad I decided against it now. I don't like the ones that you have to sign up for their "trial" offer and then usually don't get credit anyway.

Sorry, everyone.  The last time Vindale had an offer it credited well - paying for everyone who confirmed their email address.  This new one has a bogus requirement that we weren't aware of when we launched it.  It's now been removed.

I haven't seen this offer. But wow... these advertisers are willing to use shameless tactics to gain profit .  :o

I have found them to be like a lot of others. You have to buy something to get credit. I am not sure if I will stay with them or not.

I'm not impressed with Vindale.  Even if you "try" sometime you want, they seem to make it difficult for you to get  credit.  Perhaps the firms they service aren't coming through with the credit eithor, but I've pretty much written this "survey" site off. I check back once in a while to see if they have something that sounds simply, but haven't had much luck with that either.

Yeah, I've not had very a good experience with Vindale in the past. The site is nice and the promises of high payout are enticing, but it seems that all their 'surveys' require you to buy things you really don't want to.

I think Vindale is a legit survey site, I'm signed up to them but I haven't been active but I'm sure they payout. Also I didn't sign up to Vindale through Fusion Cash it was through someone else.  :)

yes it won't let you signup again if you have an existing account that has been closed- it'll want you to open it again and no credit

I'm signed up to Vindale and have no problems.. the freecreditreport offer I did as well..some of the offers are trials and are no biggies..you're free to cancel during the trial period and are not billed what so ever..and you get credit for it.. lot of other offers are like that.. You have to be careful though some say you have to stay a member for so many months..etc..so on..just a tip...
