I just signed up for the 2004 study. How do we go about doing referrals on this board? Is there an order to it?

If anyone would like to sign up and needs a referral, please PM me.

I am still not sure about the SS# thing?? Too cautious, I am..LOL!

I did this in 2003 and they are legit! Thanks for the link. Yes, all persons in household that qualify can do surveys.

I once heard that you need not put in your SS# is that still true? Also, I did it last year am I automatically registered for this year and use the same pin or Do I have to register again? Thanks So Much

You only need to give your SS# if you want to get paid. These studies are through the University of Pennsylvania, same as the Baron "surveys". There are laws that say that the university has to have your SS# on record if they pay you.

My understanding is they did not keep any of our info from the old study. If you want to participate in the new study you need to register for the current study.

Since they ask for the SS number, does that mean you have to pay taxes for the "income" you earn from this program? LoL Or they just need it for no reason really, just their rules?

Amy, I don't think that they have to report your earnings to the IRS if you make less than $600 in a single year -- so they usually don't.

I count on them not reporting it.

My memory isn't as sharp as some of these younger members. Maybe someone else can shed a little light on this.

This is just a guess, but I think your referral #is your pin # and to be used if you are signing up a male under you.

Has anyone received the email with the pin, since signing up under this thread?

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here and someone mentioned "Baron surveys" in a previous post. Can someone tell me where to find them on the www and how to sign up? Thanks so much for this great site...love it!

Welcome to the boards, Schmilee!

This is the URL for Baron. He isn't taking any new sign-ups at the moment, but there is a place to <click> and leave your email addy so that he can notify you when he needs more help.
