Howdy,
Think about it a bit. Would the CocaCola company pay $10.00 to thousands of
people taking a survey on their product? Would companies with smaller
advertising budgets spend that amount? Not when they can get the same
information for less than 25 cents.
Generally on gimmicks like this, you find down in the fine print where they
don't start paying until you've earned more than a specified amount. That
amount is usually very hard to reach. They also know that most people don't
bother to check to see if they get paid or not.
What they want is your E-Mail address and permission to send offers for
other services that appeal to people who don't read the fine print. They
make their real money reselling those E-Mail addresses.
