congratulation, I'm seeing this kind of earnings after a long time in the forum

The ones that say they will pay you through your panel, I wonder how this will work out, because when we click on an invite link on this site, you cannot get paid higher than the value attached to the invite. Only Figure Eight supports an external bonus system. I don't know if this site is equipped to accept bonus survey payments. I know that even CS wasn't. You can receive more than 1 payment on any given Survey ID, that I know for sure.
My best advice, keep ALL the proof you can about your session including a completion confirmation, URLs, e-mails, EVERYTHING, you will need this in case you do not receive payments here. I think it is likely they will send you the incentives directly to your PayPal or send you a gift card code, that's usually how it worked for me in previous focus groups. I just completed one invite from IPSOS, through ySense, and will get $4 in addition to what I was paid through ySense, but paid directly from IPSOS as Amazon gift card.
To get an official answer your best bet is to contact CINT or the responsible of the project directly by e-mail.
Thanx for the clarification. Ya i have collected all the proofs will let you know if i ever get paid.
One more thing I forgot to mention, when doing special surveys externally like that, sometimes there are delays before you get paid, usually when the project closes, they usually mention a delay in e-mail, can make days to weeks even.
I did some focus groups in the older years of GPT the good years, $50-$75-$100 1 1/2 hour focus groups, those were the good years, and was always paid. I think the most I did in one day was 2 x $75 ones.
