Panda Research TRUSTED BUSINESS REVIEW: PandaResarch.com dedicated to total customer satisfaction. PandaResearch.com takes holistic approach to building brand new customer satisfaction experience.
I recently received a promo form this people & started filling there surveys.
After accumulating over $150 dollars they post only $16 as approved.
There payment policy says that they wont pay unless you have a balance over $50
so THAT'S THE TRICK.
But listen to this:
One of the surveys was for EQUIFAX, so they ask for my credit card info so they can check my identity, guest what, EQUIFAX charged me $14.95, yes and now I need to wait until they cancel my subscription.
People from EQUIFAX TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING, I NEED TO CONTACT PANDA RESEARCH, BUT PANDA RESEARCH NEVER ANSWER NOT EVEN THERE EMAILS.

Completely different approaches to the problems panda research members have! The rebuttal from the Panda Research employee is not "typical" of any responces I have received to my questions and complaints via their website. I have submitted several tickets about not receiving credit for surveys complete. Regardless of the question or complaint, the typical automated response from panda research will be;
(PANDA) Hello. Welcome to Panda Research. It is very important to review the terms and conditions along with the FAQ (frequently asked questions) page as they explain the rules and answer many questions.
Please review the following information, as we hope this will help you in understanding the process.
Once you have finished “both the Product Evaluation and the Survey” and the sponsor approves it and informs us of the approval, then your account will be updated from “Viewed” to “Approved’ status.
Approvals “usually take a minimum of 2 days, and up to a maximum of 7 business days to get approval from the advertiser “if all the requirements have been completed”(weekends don’t count as approval days). (cont.) BLAH BLAH BLAH
You can fill out and complete them as many times as you want, but the payout will be credited only once in your account.
Surveys are given by the advertisers for a limited period of time, as surveys that were clicked on but never completed and verified will expire when the survey is no longer being offered and go into the rejected tab at the bottom of the "account status" tab.
If you feel you have completed a survey and it is not showing as Approved yet, please send us an attachment only of the confirmation email or confirmation page sent by our advertiser to you, so we can go back to the advertiser and ask for approval for credit. The Print Screen tab,(prt scr) located above the backspace tab on a keyboard works well in making attachments.- press it once when the page you want to copy is on the screen, as it makes an image in memory; then paste into a word document and save it as a file and attach the file to a ticket.
(me) I have attached and completes all the requirements, blah alh blah, here is proof, yadda yadda. Where is my money
(Panda)
We have sent this to the account manager to review and will reply to you when a response is received...........................
SOOOOO you wait and wait and wait! and then your follow up emails are ignored and then wait some more!
Did I forget to mention! At this point the concern/complaint "ticket" you started is marked as a closed ticket !
