Calling all students

via Motley Fool (the money advice website)


Opinionpanel Research has teamed up with Amazon to offer free gift certificates in return for the completion of short web-surveys. You get £10 in total when you register, and a further £1 to £2 per survey thereafter. Once you've reached £25, you receive your Amazon gift certificates by email. In order to qualify, you must have a valid email address issued by your university (i.e. ending in .ac.uk). The certificates continue to roll-in after you've graduated, as you are automatically transferred to the Graduate Panel when you finish your studies.


Not quite "money for old rope" but certainly worth doing. I'm not sure about "short" as an adjective -- in classification terms this would need to be quantified. A short course is: "anything less than an academic year" to an academic, "no more than a day" to a business manager. So, what's "a short web-survey"? Less than 5 minutes? Less than 10 minutes?
I don't know the answer!
