Pros:

A little bit of money never hurt anyone
Very okay site to earn a few usd per month, don’t just put all your hopes on it because you wouldn’t get so much surveys to earn something tangible.
- Surveys are easy and quick to complete.
- You get sent your gift card payment 2 days after the survey, which in my opinion is swift.
- Not much Survey invitations.
- Complete all the prerequisite surveys required for you to complete after joining (this will open you up to receiving more surveys)
- This won’t pull in so much in a month, so have something stable and this should just be a side hustle.

Great way to make some beermoney while contributing to science
- Payment are sent directly to your email address.
- There's no withdrawal limit. You do not have to achieve any milestone to make withdrawals. Once you earn a dollar, it is sent to you directly.
- When a scheduled study is cancelled, they let you know at least an hour early, and you often get compensated for the cancelation.
- The Video studies are always interesting. Gives you an avenue to earn while contributing to the development of greater things.
- Using the website is pretty straight forward.
- Timing. All studies are conducted at PST
- Payment takes 2 - 3 days
- Payment option is limited to Amazon gift cards only
- Always pick time slots that are convenient for you. You must understand timezones, as they only post study times in PST, so it is left to you to schedule accordingly. The also frown on participants missing studies, and penalize them too.
- Try to participate in video studies
- Visit website often to catch new opportunities on time

Quite fun doing their tasks
Centers for Decision Research is great for anyone who just wants to rack up a few dollars on Amazon.
- how simple it is to know when surveys are available
- it takes a while to receive the Amazon gift card
- I really dislike the video focus groups because I don't like showing my face
- if you must cancel make sure you pay attention to the deadline

I would only recommend this as a side income earner because the studies are not always available
CDR labs allows you to earn extra bucks by taking part in paid online studies. They pay well per study. Although the pay is good one cant become rich from this site since the studies are not available all the time
- The researches here pay well for a short time used. The pay per study is very much higher compared to the other like sites
- At most times these studies are not available. The number of surveys/studies available is very low
Avoid spamming the screener survey since they will determine if you are eligible or not for the study
