How long to wait for payment for a focus group?

I did a focus group for my financial institution a week ago and am still waiting for payment - just supposed to be a online code - I did one last year too and it was more money, and came the next day.

LOL this year they sent out an email through a new survey company saying participants would get a "chance" for 1 of three $100 gc - but the would not even say what chances would be or approx number of invitees. So I wrote back that I was not interested in participating for 90 minutes for a "chance" to win something. They wrote back and said they would pass my information on to the client. a week later got a new email offering a $50 gc to participate LOL. I think last year it was a $75 or $100 Amazon GC, but $50 is better than a chance.

usually before I do focus groups, I find out in advance when hte payments will be sent out. From my experience, they want to process all the information before they pay out the participants, which means about a month.

It sometimes takes as long as 3 months to get payment for a focus group, but I usually wait only 4 weeks before I email to ask when the payment will arrive.

The company conducting the interviews may not get paid until the entire report is finished, so they can't pay you until the job is completed.

I don't let more than a month go by without asking, politely, when I can expect payment. By then they ususally have a fairly accurate estimate of when my check will be cut or the code will be emailed.

Good Luck!

I have participated in two focus groups recently; one in October and one at the beginning of November. I received the codes for my online GC payments immediately within two days of the project ending.
One was a $100 for Amazon and the other was $100 for giftcertificates.com
