Project Payday is a money making program created by Monika St. John. The program advertises that 13 out of 14 test students have made between $200 and $2,500 in 30 days. The exact method of generating profits are not mentioned on the sales page so today I’m going to review this program and reveal what it’s all about.
Let’s get right into it and talk about how Project Payday works. The program is based on trial offers and incentivized freebie websites. The whole idea behind Project Payday is that people are willing to pay you anywhere from $10-$40 to try out various offers.
To access the member section, you need to complete a sponsor offer or pay the $34.95. As soon as you sign up, you can go to a forum and find people who are buying referral opportunities. After you agree on a price with a buyer, the trade manager keeps track of it and you are sent their referral link. When you complete enough offers, you are then sent the payment.
There are other various offers that are available and money can be made. Some of the offers are trial offers in which you pay a small shipping fee and enroll in an autobill program. To earn a profit, you will have to make sure you keep track of these trial offers and cancel before you get charged. This is very important or else you’ll be billed for the product and break even (or even lose money) on your referral payment. The opportunity is there to earn money, however you just must be organized.
Another way to earn with Project Payday is to work with the incentivized free websites. An example of these kinds of websites is the free iPhone offers that you see all over the Internet. When you refer enough people and they complete the required offers, the company will actually send you the advertised product. The referral buyers are paying people to join these sites through their referral links and get them to complete the required offers in order to win the advertised product.
Later on, you can take the role of buying referrals. Once you get enough referrals for these incentivized sites, they usually send you expensive electronics. The logic is that it may require 10 people to complete offers to get a LCD TV. If you pay $20 for each person to complete the offer, it will cost you $200. While you are out $200, you can sell the LCD TV for $500 once you receive it from the company. This leaves you with $300 net profit.
ProjectPayday is accredited by the BBB with an A- rating. This is no easy feat for a work at home company. BBB accreditation means they passed an advertising reviews and means that they honor their word when it comes to customer service, refunds, and income claims.
So what’s the bottom line on Project Payday? It’s very much possible to make money with this program. Being successful with Project Payday takes effort, and those who put in the time reap the rewards. The key to being successful is following the training guide and not giving up. And - as many of the comments about Project Payday on IMRC point out, you have to be ORGANIZED. If you aren't organized, it's going to be a tough road. If you are organized, can follow directions, and are willing to put in some effort (it's easy "work" but still takes effort and follow-through on your part) then you are setting yourself up for success.

Project Payday Worked Great For Me! When I signed up for the program, (and I did not pay a dime for it) I had a specific item that I wanted to buy that cost $250.00. After taking about an hour to study the instruction manuals, and another half hour to learn my way around the Forum, I jumped in and did my first deal with one of the forum members. It took about an hour to complete the process to do my first "offer". The next day I had my first $25 "payment" in my PayPal account. Working with the same, very helpful forum member over the next 10 days, and spending no more than 1 hour per night, I completed my goal of making $250.00. This program works! You just have to put in a little effort yourself, take advantage of the very helpful training tools available for free, and pick a helpful forum member to do deals with. It was kind of scary the first time I did a deal, but after that it was a breeze. You will find that there are several ways to make money with the program other than doing "offers", so you can choose what works best for you.

A little confusing at first, but it DOES work. Well it's been awhile since I've used the site, but I did make money from it when I did. However, it is NOT free. You need to pay a little bit to join (I think it was about 5 dollars or something when I did) and it is your first glimpse into how the whole thing works because you will need to keep paying to make money. If you've ever seen those 'Click here to claim your FREE Wii!' ads and submitted all that info and bought those sponsored products only to find you needed to get 3 more people to do the same thing before you could get your Wii, then you will be familiar with what all the members on the forum are asking for- you are their '3rd person' and if you help them get that Wii then you will get part of the cut. It costs money to help them, but you make a profit as long as you're careful and don't forget to cancel offers. Just follow the rules. I spent about 20 dollars and got about 65 dollars back helping my first 2 people. But I just didn't have the patience to get further into it.

You can make good money I've been with Project Payday since 2008. I signed up for the trial offer in order to become fully active, but cancel the trial before it expired. You can make money three ways. But, what I love about Project Payday is their referral program. They start you off with $1.50 per referral (now making $2 per referral). I was able to bring in hundreds of people and made $1082 which was paid thru Paypal. Still have money waiting to be paid, must have a minimum of $20 to receive payment. This is a great way to make money online and the support is superb. Someone actually emailed me to offer other options to promote PPD. Monica and her staff are excellent and always trying to help everyone. And no, they do not close your account if you're making too much money. They will close your account if they recognize fraud (in other words, buying paid signups). Your leads must be real people who have an interest. I hope this helps those looking to make couple hundred dollars per week.

Getting Credit takes forever! Though it is true PP is legit like everyone has stated, you do have to spend money to make some. The biggest problem I had was getting credit for offers that were suppose to be instant credits, it took 5 weeks to get credit for one offer. I ordered, paid for and received the product 3 weeks prior as well as had to submit a ticket requesting the credit twice before I finally got the credit.And yes you have to be very diligent when doing the trials. ALWAYS read the Terms of Service BEFORE completing any offer, WRITE down the cancellation phone number and first try calling the number to make sure it is a valid # with real people answering! Overall unless you just have too much spare time this really in my opinion is not worth the time or effort. |

Not bad if you work at it... After only finding scam after scam for online jobs (not that I joined any) PPD was a breath of fresh air! I recently joined and am loving it. PPD is a 100% legit Business. With any business you stand to gain/lose much, little, or no money at all. But so far, PPD has paid me exactly when they said, so my positive cash flow > Negative cash flow. If you don't have SOME kind of starting funds, you really can't do the offers. And, it really is hard to go green. I took almost 7 hours doing my first one. I only made a $1 profit for all of my effort to boot! But you know what? If you're willing/able to put forth the time and effort it takes to... -Keep a detailed Excel chart for your expenditures -Keep a detailed list of sponsors you've used. Plus keep keep information on every off trial/payment. -SAVE EVERY Confirmation -Set goals/deadlines/limits, then follow them ... you can make a decent profit. Granted, this program is not for everyone. It does require more then 'minimum' effort to do really well. You should always know who/when/how much you owe and are owed. You're not going to make millions overnight with this program. Who knows how much you will make, or if the effort is worth it. But for something this nice, I'd why not say give it a look, if not a try? Hope this helps a bit. |

Not a scam Project payday has tons of videos showing you how to work the system. They show you how to go "green" on a site (complete an offer) and give you some great methods of getting greens either by paying people to do it or getting free greens using traffic exchanges, etc. Personally I have used traffic exchanges and they haven't worked for me. PPD is just the middleman showing you a great idea on how to make a LITTLE bit of extra income, but they are for real when saying you can make 3k a month - but you really have to work at it though and even then offers do run out and you have to wait a while for more to come out of the works before you can get going again. But all in all PPD is worth it. |

Project waste time Well I just wasted my time signing up for this one. I hear so many people saying oh you can make so much money with this one, it is guaranteed money. I have not found anything useful from this site since day one. I was confused when I joined that place and I couldn’t find support anywhere, but that’s not even the bad part. I signed up for over 5 offers in which I did need a credit card. I was losing money with this whole pay others and then sell. Since joining this program I am scared to join trade sites like this for all I did was lose time and a bit of money. This is not guaranteed cash and it cannot be trusted.

The Offers are so Monotonous I was looking for a work at home opportunity and ran across Project Payday and thought it looked pretty good so I joined. When I first started to complete offers I thought this looked pretty good. I was wrong. The offers are the same over and over again. I don't understand why there is not more variety. I think that if the offers were different from member to member then maybe this concept would work. I was so frustrated with the whole thing in less than a weeks time. If you want to be the one paying someone for completing offers then you have to have some money to pay them. The idea of doing Project Payday is to make money. This seemed like a huge waste of time because after a week of looking at offers I was already tired of the whole thing. Another thing I didn't care for was I signed up for an offer and didn't get credit for it. That made me mad because it was one offer to complete this. And I was not credited. I inquired and was turned down. Also you can take offers and then you have to cancel them and some of the companies I was involved with made my life miserable just trying to cancel. I think they make it sound good when for me I would rather just be told the truth and I felt that I was scammed.

Expensive, confusing, but real opportunity I joined Project Payday about 6 months ago. In that time, I've made about three times the amount of money I spent to join the program ($40). I don't spend too much time on it because if I have too many offers going at one time it gets very confusing. I'm pretty organized and I keep a list of which offers I've signed up for, but I still seem to sometimes get notifications about things I didn't sign up for. Once I was charged for something that I did not remember signing up for and I was able to get my money back without difficulty. Overall, I've had a good experience with Project Payday. It probably isn't for everyone, but if you don't mind spending some money and if you can keep a good list of your offers, you may be able to make some decent money. I haven't tried very hard to promote the program and therefore have no referrals. If you think you'll be able to get some referrals, there is even more earning potential for you.

Just try it A friend of mine recommended Project Payday to me two years ago. I gotta tell you this is legit and very good for making money online, but it is not for everyone. It does work but it's very boring and takes much time. You have to be very organized to make a good profit and be successful with this program. There are three or four methods to start making money and I quickly realized I couldn't lose anything if I follow the steps. I suggest you to start watching the training videos at first, they're really helpful. Well, I'm not saying you will get rich with Project Payday, but you definitely gotta try this! |

It's worth a try Alright, what can I say about this site. It is very popular amongst the “GPT sites” and for a good reason. It’s been there a while and it’s steady, I should say. I did try it amongst the first “Get Paid to Sign up” sites I’ve ever been at and my opinion about this one is mixed. I earned a few bux here, but personally didn’t like how everything works in this particular site. You do need to put some cash in for some offers one way or another, so it’s not that easy, if you wanna do it from scrap. The best thing would be, if you shop online a lot, so yeah, this can make you an additional income. Otherwise it’s hard to make a good portion of money without involving your own into the project. I do advise to give it a try, though.

Well, project payday works. It is quick cash, for sure I have been using project payday's system for nearly 2 years. For the first 3 weeks I completed offers. It was not the easiest job I've ever had, but I did make quite a nice amount of money. On my first day I made $40. Since I was unemployed at the time, this was a big deal. The second day I made $60. By the end of the 3 weeks I had worked with my mentor and made a decent part time income. I was able to steadily learn the ropes and generate about $150 a day. I worked about 3 hours - however please note - it wasn't required that I sit around by my computer for 3 hours, but the time spent equaled approx that. This sort of sit down, work, get up and move around type job was a nice change from the confining feeling of being a slave in some corporation. After 3 weeks I'd decided that I wasn't organized enough to be able to continue the completing of offers, but I did notice project payday offered a referral program. I tried that with a tiny bit of success. I made $6 my first day. Ooooo, big deal huh! But I stuck with it and be the end of the first week I was up to an average of $30/40 a day. Of course from there I went a little nuts and threw myself into learning how to market this thing. By the end of the 1st month I was making about $5K. This is not a joke. I literally poured myself into this system. I couldn't get a "real job" because at the time I found project payday, I was temporarily disabled with an injury - no one wanted to hire me. It was frustrating and scary, so I took the potential I saw in project payday and I decided I was going to do this, no matter what. It's been 2 years now and I make an average of about 4 to 5K a month with project payday. It's work. Any program that promises to make you rich is total BS. Any program that asks you to invest a huge amount of money is BS. Project payday's 34 dollars is nothing. To be honest, I had $600 in the bank when I started. I really didn't have that extra 34 to spend, but I had a "feeling" and I went with my gut. Is project payday a scam? Well... um, hardly. $34 is not a scammy price, plus project payday DOES NOT ask you for more money, or to join some club, nor do they try to siphon money from you once you pay. Once you either pay the 34 or just complete an offer? You are in. That's it. Paid in full. You know, the bottom line here is that when you find something that works for you, you have to be willing to work it hard. If project payday isn't for you, I can understand that for sure - but the thing people tend to do is label what doesn't work for them as a "scam". Project payday has been very good to me, both their system and their staff. They've always been honest with me and up front. If you use project payday's referral system and you turn in quality leads, you're treated with respect and you're paid on time. I have never once, not once, not been paid. The key to succeeding with this is generating quality - which requires a lot of work, determination, thought and heart. |

I had some bad experiences there! I signed up with ProjectPayday early last year. I had just gotten a credit card around the same time, so I would do the offers and get paid but it didn't matter how early I canceled a trial offer, every one of them ended up on my credit card (good way to fix up my credit eh?). I was lucky as I kept the canceled receipt numbers, and my cc company helped me and I didn't have to pay the charges after all phewww!It seemed like a good idea at the time, but you do end up either even or in the red. I stopped doing them after so many charges to my cc as I think they may have been thinking I was trying to rip them off, and I didn't want to take a chance on that happening... Oh, another thing, when I first went to ProjectPayday I had to pay the $39.95(not sure on the amount) as there wasn't any other way at that time or I missed it completely, but again I was lucky and got a refund, even though more time had elapsed than the normal for a refund. So my opinion? Try something else... |

Legit but time consuming I would recommend Project Payday for those who do not have much on their plate. With the freebies you can make money by reselling and of course getting stuff that is a hot cake. One thing that made me quit was I ended up paying a lot of stuff that I either forgot to cancel or was unable to do so due to some companies who basically have no proper customer service (I would think we’re doing it on purpose). At the time I had so much I was taking on and just preferred something much easier and less consuming. All in all I guess this is one of those things I would say it depends on an individual. That is you can make it work if you are organized and have the time, plus are able to make a profit out of the freebies and have a large network. AND most important read through carefully. It is worth investing on. Not for you if you think all will be free.

Forget it if you are in Canada To make money at this, or even get some good items you pretty much have to live in the US. Most offers aren't available in Canada and those that are cost the small one time charge ... well one time unless you forget to cancel in the time you are allowed. Maybe if you know enough people in the US who will complete offers this is worth your time, otherwise stay away and save your money and time.

Beware Of This - Hello, I signed up on 9/12/11. Immediately the red flags went up for me because this involves you signing up for trial offers, sometimes free and many are not, but having to give out your credit card info to each and every offer. The offers have different trial periods but just think you have to sign up and then remember to cancel all of these offers as well. I started going through the fast $50 where you sign up for offers until you get 100 credits and then this guy pays you $50 and soon as they are completed. I signed up for the 1st offer against my better judgment to creditreport.com. I went to their homepage, and then immediately to the credit report tab. Up popped my credit reports from all 3 credit report agencies. This morning my debit card showed a $29.95 charge to Experian. Tried to get a refund but only getting a partial of $14.95 in 7 -10 days. Contacted Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission and filed complaints. This company is the same company as FreeCreditReport.com. Free Credit has several thousand complaints with the BBB and their score had fallen to a B so I guess they needed a new identity and website to continue to scam people.

Keep your money in your pocket Back in Feb. of this year I joined Project Payday. I think I spent @ least $100 plus trying to make $50. I thought it would lead to making more money down the line so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. It never dawned on me to cancel the offers like one of the reviewers did once the $50 was paid to me. The way I see it if I have to trick the system to make any money online then it was a scam from the beginning. Besides I am not here to make just $50, talk about getting discouraged. I am happy to report that I have not given up on making money online and I do have faith that I will make GOOD HONEST MONEY on here one day soon, however the roller coaster ride tends to beat ya down @ times. Project Payday for me was and still is costing me money. I do have some books to read that I was forced to buy if this all don't work out. To bad they aren't on IM marketing... |

Wasted my time I was in search of different ways to make some extra pocket money and Project Payday was one of the many I stumbled upon. I first thought that I might actually be able to produce some money, but after some time my opinion changed. The process of making money on Project Payday certainly wasn't one of the easiest and it was really taking a lot of time. There were a few different ways to make money, but each one was hard. Definitely filling all of those offers proved to be awful and it just wasn't for me. Few times when I made an offer there were some problems and I wasn't actually getting credited. There was something wrong whit the confirmation emails, since I had problems with them quite some times and it took a lot of time to get the offers verified. Definitely you can find better and less time consuming ways to make extra money online and I would recommend you to stay away from Project Payaday.

Get Charged For Something Which I Shouldn't Be Charged For I joined Project Payday not long ago and I did most of the free trial offers, but I still got charged even though I canceled before they should be able to charge me. It is still an okay product and yes you can make some money with it, but it isn't as good as they claim.

Keep an open mind I signed up for this using the free trialpay, so unlike other "systems" out there I lost nothing out the door. I then started to read everything on their website; the training, the fast-fifty, and different methods. I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff, so their ideas gave me pause at first. But I started to understand that this is how other websites make their money; ie. PandaResearch, mypoints, etc. So why not cash in on the obviously lucrative system. I will eventually set up my own system using this knowledge. First day, I completed the fast offer, and it took 4 days but I finally went green and got my fifty dollars. Second offer for $25 was almost instant. I've since made another $500 and it's been about a week and a half. YES, you do need to keep track of what offers expire when, give out some information, and sometimes use a credit card. Some offers are completely free, while total I maybe spent $27 in the past 1.5 weeks. Not bad. My credit card company called me because of all the activity they saw for online stuff (3 charges total), because they were concerned. So if you have a reputable credit card you shouldn't have to worry about fraud, because they are watching for it. In my case I told them it was ok, and they let me know if I needed any help in the future to call. Overall, not too risky, plus I get to actually try some stuff I've wanted to and I can write some reviews for it, and possibly make some money from it on the side. I can't wait to make some more money with these guys! I recommend with a B.

If you work, it'll work... but is it worth the hassle? Project Payday is not a scam. It's a completely legit community taking advantage of promotions and referral programs. I signed up with this site not too long ago and I've decided that it's not really worth the effort. While it has potential to make money making deals with other people, you also have a lot of potential to lose money by being disorganized and losing track of the promotions that you've signed up for. I don't really believe that it's worth all the effort. It's easy to get carried away in the beginning by the prospect of free money and it could land you in trouble. Definitely don't sign up for this product unless you want to risk a small initial investment, put hours into tracking deals, working with advertisers and finding referrals. Since I'm already a member, I might continue to pursue earnings on this site. I'll post back if I'm successful. If you choose to go for this product good luck and be careful.

Project Payday I joined this site a while ago. I did make some money completing offers. I did find it difficult to get others to complete offers for me due to my "newbie" status. You also have to be mindful of the offers you do, as many sites have the same offers. If you sign up for the same offer on more than one site, it is considered cheating and you will probably not be credited or you can be removed from the site. I don't recommend this site program unless you have plenty of time to read the fine print in the offers. You also need to be a good record keeper to keep track of dates, so you don't get charged the monthly fees that sometimes kick in after the free trial period. |

Project Payday is complicated, time-consuming, and costs money It's been over a year since I was involved, and I have done my best to forget the pain of the whole experience. You know those lousy ads that say, "Get your free iPad (iPhone, xBox, etc. ) here, " and then you click deeper into the site, answering questions, signing up for services or trial products, till you get tired and quit? Well, those services and trial products are exactly the "incentives" that Project Payday deals with. I tried it over a year ago, and in the 2-3 weeks I participated, for several hours per day, I made negative money. In other words, I paid for the "opportunities", a $1 here, a $1 there, and made no money. The system was complicated for me, so in my opinion it was needlessly complex. (I have taught children and adults, written training courses and computer manuals, have a masters degree in education and instructional technology, and have worked in the computer industry since 1980. In other words, I can follow directions.) The whole basis of the business was lame: You sign up for trial offers, such as coffee delivered to you home, and then cancel before they kicked in. You got the credit for signing up, but you didn't get charged the full amount. Other offers cost $1 to sign up, but you would get more credit for them. I was never able to get enough credits to get paid. On the plus side: The forum was a friendly place and there were people who were billing themselves as willing to work with newbies. I didn't catch the right ones, I guess. I believe that people made money, but they were by far outweighed by the other chumps like me who were running around trying to figure out what train to catch. One good thing did come out of this: I memorized my credit card number, the 3 numbers on the back and the expiration date. Comes in handy! Oh, by the way, you need to use your credit card to participate. How lame is that? |

Disappointed This was a pretty big disappointment. Way too much work for what you get in return. Having to give out credit card info and dealing with canceling trial offers was a pain, and half the time I didn't get credited with completing the offer. Plus, now that so many people have heard of and tried this, there is way too much competition. Referrers don't have to offer very much money to get referrals. Last year they might have had to offer $15-$20 to get people to complete the offers, now they can get away with $5-$10 because there's always a newbie willing to take it. On the other hand now might be a good time to try being a referrer since it's a lot easier and cheaper to find referrals. |

This project requires too much effort A good friend of mine recommended that I join this site and right away. I was told the longer I waited the more I would be losing in potential earnings. I always try and stay away from sites that pay you for taking trial offers. I decided to give this a try and I regret that every single day. This is far from a scam, but the effort required to make any amount of money is not worth it. From the start I started to take out offers for a few products and then started to notice charges to my card that were far higher than what was told to me. It took me days to cancel everything and a lot of frustration and the customer care department. If you are good at keeping track of all the offers and dates they end, you can make some good money off this site but for people like me it's only a matter of time till you come out wasting hours to keep even. For those out there looking for smaller amounts of extra money do yourself a favor, don't pay to join any program but spend a few hours reading about the sites discussed here and you will find plenty legitimate sites to help you earn some more money online.

Newbie Blues : Although there are several help features and mentors, I am finding it somewhat difficult to get started with Project Payday. First of all you need 100 credits to get started, luckily I found IM Report card maybe I will receive 50 right now. They are into me for $55 and I have yet to earn one penny, been at it for four hours now. Feels like I have been up all night. Maybe it is just anxiety but I sure wish things were easier considering my investment and all. |

Just another one of those who let me down My first impression was that my search has ended and that I have found what I have been looking for. NBut after using it for a while it became clear that it wasn't for me. The fact that you had to have a a little money on the side that you where willing to use was a problem, a lot of offers are free but as soon as you get into paid offers everything changes. Your no longer just trading time for money, now your paying time and money for money and it makes it harder to calculate how much you were making. So this was just another one of those who let me down.

Project Payday only helps you spend your money The way Project Payday says they will make you money is by taking you to a lot of websites where there are "sponsor offers", like GET A $100 WALMART GIFTCARD by subscribing to Children's Book of the Month club, sending your credit card information online to an unknown source for a free trial. Those so-called "free" trials last 7 days and the sponsor doesn't reward you for them until after the trial period has expired and you have to pay the original member fees and prices. Project Payday is a waste of time and money. Like I said before, they only help you spend, not make, money. POINTLESS.

Was not worth my efforts I was a member of Project Payday and the sales letter looked so great and made it appear easy. I had trouble finding offers that were actually free. I was not going to take the chance of not being paid after I charged my credit card with a trial offer, so I left. Now, it appears this site is more honest and not taking Canadians. I am from Canada and I had a hard time with offers. Maybe that was why. Nothing is "free" on the site for Canada. I hope others get better luck out of this one. There was an article online, MSN Sympatico, about how Project Payday is a scam. |

Project Payday, A lot of work for a Bunch of monetary commitments Hi, I tried Project Payday last year, they hooked me with the $50 promise that they say you will make right away. So I followed all the instructions to get my $50 and they brought me to an offer page where I had to fill out a bunch of offers to get enough credits to get my fifty bucks. I began filling out the easy offers, like try a book club for one dollar, or apply for a visa card. However as I continued filling out the offers I realized things like how many times I was listing my credit card or bank card number on these sites and all the commitments I was making, was it really worth the $50? I thought about all the offers I would have to cancel in a few days and what would happen to my bank account if I forgot to cancel these promotions. Considering my bad memory, I just stopped right there and canceled the whole thing. I figured I would just look for a REAL business opportunity which I now have found. |

Read between the lines and through the invisible ones Project PayDay may be a newer website, but it's certainly not a new method of earning money online! Project Payday gives incentives for "trying" new products. Such as free movie trials and make up kits that cost little money, yet can turn out costly. What they don't tell you before you sign up is that it does require a credit card. This has always been one of my pet peeves, especially when you don't earn the money back quite as easy as they make it sound. Just like any site like Project Payday don't quit your day job for it-you won't make nearly as much as the website's commissions.

It was pretty cool in theory, but I had wanted to get PPD for about a year before I finally got it 3 weeks ago, and I am glad I did not pay the $34.95! The first fast fifty program dang near requires you to have a credit card for anything! My debit card would not go through and so I just removed myself from that program. The other thing that I didn't like was the referral set up. Your referrals have to make a certain amount of money before you can get the bonus from them, making it a real pain to use that program. I have been a member of PPD for about 3 weeks, and after making sure that all of my information (profile surveys) were complete and correct, I still haven't gotten any decent invites for anything more than the FFF (Fast First Fifty) and this site. Other than that it was junk mail, telling me more and more about the same things on the website, most of which I had already looked over and decided to wait until after the FFF was completed. Mind you, the program specifically tells you that it's a good idea to wait to do almost anything until after you get done with the FFF. So far I have spent over $200 and I haven't gotten anything back, as the program's offers practically require a credit card. I give this program a 3/5 because I have seen legitimate proof that this program works, it just doesn't work for me. I hope that other people can have some better luck with this. |

Just not for me In order to make good money with this website you have to be able to sign up for free trial offers using a credit card. You have to be able to keep good notes so you know when to cancel your free trial. Also, take note that sometimes you still have to be charged a fee depending on what product or service you plan on purchasing. I just get so frustrated putting in so much time and trying to keep track of all the offers. Also, sometimes you can have a hard time canceling an order and sometimes you are not paid for other offers. If your not careful you could end up losing more money than gaining if you are not careful. Some people make a decent living off of this, but too me it's just way too much stress.

Too stressful I found this a very stressful way to make some good money. Your money from your credit card is directly involved in this website in which you sign up for free trial offers using a credit card. You have to be very aware with keeping notes so you are able to know when to cancel your free trial. You should also know that sometimes you're charged a fee, it depends on what product you plan to buy. I also found it very annoying, putting in so much effort and trying to keep pace with all the offers. Sometimes you are not even paid for the other offers and also you will have a hard time canceling an order which can lead to actually losing money instead of earning. Some people make lots of money with this, but honestly I don’t need the daily stress. |

Works, but you have to be organized, takes a lot of time I've been trying to make money in it for quite a while now and have been unsuccessful. I've tried other ways to make money online including filling out surveys, this method takes a long time and the amount of money you make is very low. While looking for other solutions I came upon project payday and decided to give it a try. I was disappointed by the fact that you must complete an offer or pay $35 just to get started. I don't want to invest $35 so I completed the offer. What you do with this program is basically complete offers ( mostly trials) to get money. You have to make sure you cancel the trials or your credit card will be charged. Because of that I would not recommend this product if you are not organized. Even though this product does require a lot of work, you still make money and free. I like to see higher-paying offers in the future. Again, if you're not organized Project Payday is not for you, you will be charged for all the trials that you forget to cancel which in the end marks a negative profit. They have a referral system but it's not the best that I've seen, it could be better. I have made some money from this website, but I will not be using it a lot since I'm not a very organized person.

Making Money on the Internet I have searched for sometime for a way of making a little extra money on the internet. Most of the internet businesses on the web require a significant amount of money to start. However Project Payday was not that way, as a matter of fact I was allowed to complete an offer to get started with no money down. I have tried Project Payday and started making money immediately. I love Project Payday thank you for helping me make some extra money.

If You Got The Time! I've been with Project Payday for a few days now and actually earned $50 but, my first concern right off the bat was, "how in the world am I going to keep track of ALL these offers I sign up for!" The testimonial videos don't really tell you much about the program either, just folks talking about the money they've made nothing more. I'm already having second thoughts about this "project" only because of the methodology and the time required just to make any "decent" money.

Don't do it! I tried PPD about 2 years ago, I canceled it within two weeks. Then I came across their ad again, just recently. I couldn't remember why I had canceled before. Now I know why! If you are thinking about getting involved in this, don't think twice about it. Just DO NOT do it. It is nothing other than you spending A LOT of your own money, with next to nothing in return. Extremely complicated and time consuming. You're better off trying to "catch" the moon! TRUST ME when I tell you all, not to bother with PPD. You'll be wasting your TIME and MONEY! |

It's okay but seems to just be a set-up for other websites This website seems to be set-up to other websites that actually start to earn you money. But overall, it's fantastic since it's not a scam and you actually earn money. So I would rate this company a B, also the referral program is great to earn that extra money on the side while promoting a company that is putting those extra $$ in your pocket :) haha

Very Dissapointing if you're in Canada! The site will not work if your are in Canada! It is only for US citizens and is therefore not worth even looking into as a Canadian. Project Payday seems like just what I have been looking for and I'm very surprised an American company doesn't allow Canadians to use it. It seems like a silly idea on their part. All in all, it seemed like an awesome site to me, but I have to grade it poorly for not including access to Canadians.

Not the Best System The methods in Project Payday work, but only if you are really organized about all the trial offers and if you get lucky with offers crediting. Otherwise, you're not going to get far. The one thing I disliked most about Project Payday was that you aren't paying for anything unique or original from the company itself. The actual sales page never tells you exactly WHAT you will be doing. It doesn't even hint at IFW sites. Once you pay your way in, you get a short guide on the basic system and then you're directed to FREE IFW trading forums. These forums have FREE guides that tell you what you paid Project Payday $35 for. It's very misleading.

Basically.. you pay into information and offers you can find for free Based on my experience you basically have to shell out some money or do some "free offers"(which is what I chose to do). And later I got charged up the kazoo from them. Then when you finally get into their site you start to realize that a lot of the offers that they allow you to do aren't free. At the point of which I figured out that 99% of the "free offers" weren't free at all, I had left the site. The reason that the site gets such glowing reviews is because the commission rate that you get for promoting it is well above the norm. I like to think of it as a legal pyramid scheme and it is something I HIGHLY recommend you avoid unless you want to be out a LOT of money. I also spent a lot more time then I should have on there for VERY little profit. Don't waste your time even if you're a good referrer, otherwise you'll become morally and financially bankrupt.

Not Worth The Hassle Project Payday was something I heard about around 2 years ago, but I thought it was a scam so I decided not to try it. This year was my first year in college and at one point I really needed some money so I decided to try it. Overall, project payday really does work because I ended up making about $180 from it. But after that I realized it wasn’t worth the hassle. Basically you’re getting paid to “go green” for people by signing up for offers online. In order to do most of these offers you need money to pay for things which isn’t good because in general most people are broke & joined the site to make money. I also realized that a lot of the offers are repeated & you can’t do offers more than once. You also have to keep very organized records or you could be faced with huge charges later on from products you’ve tried or services you’ve signed up for. I kept a list of everything I did on that site including the dates I signed up for things so I knew when to call & cancel them. If you’re looking for a way to make a few extra bucks I’d say look somewhere else. This one could do more harm in the long run if you’re not careful.

Project Tiny Pay... or Project Some Day Project Pay Day is a spider's web constructed of misleading truths. The site is pretty upfront, in a sense. As you know that you will have to pony up a little cash. However, you are lead to believe that your income is in regards to the amount of work you put into it and that is the misleading part. Like many "make money at home" schemes, the amount you are able to make is relative to how much time you put into it, but not in DIRECT relation. Meaning, you will make $1.50 the first day within less than an hour, but you may only manage to make a grand total of $3 in 6 months. That's with consistently putting in several hours a day, several times a week. That's far less than what they promise you. As the system is not as "turn-key" as they present it to be. Their customer service persons appear to be very nice and concerned with assisting. However, I feel that they are not completely aware of how to guide people into being more productive. A little bit of training in that area would be invaluable for the company and others trying to benefit from their services. I give it a "C" because although I feel the claims are a tad misleading, there are no direct lies on the site. Also, I really enjoyed the manner of the customer service personnel. |

Project Payday, My personal opinion I once tried to make an account on this site, the only problem is that you have to pay a start up fee or do a really annoying offer. I hate when sites do that. I think, however, that if I would have finished making an account I would have made lots of money with it.

Not what I expected! At All! I signed up for project payday awhile back, I thought it would be easy enough to get referrals and make some money but, I was wrong. I learned no one is interested!PP has been called a scam so everyone runs away from it! They also want you to sign up for "free" trials of stuff to make money. I am not too comfortable with using a credit card to make money. Needless to say Project Payday is not for me! |

Make money only when I take project payday survey When I first started I immediately upgrade to the fifty fifty program but end up loosing money because I was not organized to increase my earning. I lost money during this period. But I have stick with them taking surveys and earning. I am paid after I earn $10 to a debit card payoneer. The good thing about them (project payday) is they pay you even if it is not what answers they are looking for. This is free to sign up and I receive several surveys per week. The extra income serves a purpose. And I am thankful. In the future, I will use my earnings to invest in Amazon gift certificates to buy products and sell on my website.

High Risk Business The simplicity and the earning potential of ppd got my attention considering I was looking for something I could do part-time and make immediate income. The only thing at the time was that it didn't disclose exactly what I would be doing to make $44-$159 anytime I had 1-2hrs to spare each day. I gave it a try and completed the free trial offer for netflix to void the 34.95 signup fee. I later canceled my trial membership to not incur further charges on my credit card. I was able to make about 60 dollars in 3 days but really got frustrated when I had a hard time canceling some of the trial offers. I don't like the fact that you have to use your credit card every time to complete a trial offer and then you also have to remember to cancel before the trial period is up. I suggest you don't take the risk, because it will cause much frustration.

Purchasing items I really do not want I signed up for a magazine offer to join, which was ok, but I really didn't need it. Once I started the program I did not like the offer selection. Most of the offers did not interest me. Also, I wasn't in favor of giving out my credit card information to each and every offer I signed up for.

Better off collecting pop cans I tried project payday as a foolish internet novice and quickly realized my blunder when I tried "first fast fifty". I was linked to another site and learned I'd have to subscribe using my credit card to many "free" products advertised on the net (often you have to pay S&H-which can add up quick). At least I didn't act right then and had the diligence to find IM report card and read of others' experiences-I agree that the aggravation and time needed to fulfill Project payday's requirements isn't worth the amount you would receive. You'd be better off collecting empty soda cans on the street-get some exercise or something! Not a good place for beginners.

When I signed up for the program, (and I did not pay a dime for it) I had a specific item that I wanted to buy that cost $250.00. After taking about an hour to study the instruction manuals, and another half hour to learn my way around the Forum, I jumped in and did my first deal with one of the forum members. It took about an hour to complete the process to do my first "offer". The next day I had my first $25 "payment" in my PayPal account. Working with the same, very helpful forum member over the next 10 days, and spending no more than 1 hour per night, I completed my goal of making $250.00. This program works! You just have to put in a little effort yourself, take advantage of the very helpful training tools available for free, and pick a helpful forum member to do deals with. It was kind of scary the first time I did a deal, but after that it was a breeze. You will find that there are several ways to make money with the program other than doing "offers", so you can choose what works best for you.
Well it's been awhile since I've used the site, but I did make money from it when I did. However, it is NOT free. You need to pay a little bit to join (I think it was about 5 dollars or something when I did) and it is your first glimpse into how the whole thing works because you will need to keep paying to make money. If you've ever seen those 'Click here to claim your FREE Wii!' ads and submitted all that info and bought those sponsored products only to find you needed to get 3 more people to do the same thing before you could get your Wii, then you will be familiar with what all the members on the forum are asking for- you are their '3rd person' and if you help them get that Wii then you will get part of the cut. It costs money to help them, but you make a profit as long as you're careful and don't forget to cancel offers. Just follow the rules. I spent about 20 dollars and got about 65 dollars back helping my first 2 people. But I just didn't have the patience to get further into it.

I've been with Project Payday since 2008. I signed up for the trial offer in order to become fully active, but cancel the trial before it expired. You can make money three ways. But, what I love about Project Payday is their referral program. They start you off with $1.50 per referral (now making $2 per referral). I was able to bring in hundreds of people and made $1082 which was paid thru Paypal. Still have money waiting to be paid, must have a minimum of $20 to receive payment. This is a great way to make money online and the support is superb. Someone actually emailed me to offer other options to promote PPD. Monica and her staff are excellent and always trying to help everyone. And no, they do not close your account if you're making too much money. They will close your account if they recognize fraud (in other words, buying paid signups). Your leads must be real people who have an interest. I hope this helps those looking to make couple hundred dollars per week.
Though it is true PP is legit like everyone has stated, you do have to spend money to make some. The biggest problem I had was getting credit for offers that were suppose to be instant credits, it took 5 weeks to get credit for one offer. I ordered, paid for and received the product 3 weeks prior as well as had to submit a ticket requesting the credit twice before I finally got the credit.
Hello, I signed up on 9/12/11. Immediately the red flags went up for me because this involves you signing up for trial offers, sometimes free and many are not, but having to give out your credit card info to each and every offer. The offers have different trial periods but just think you have to sign up and then remember to cancel all of these offers as well. I started going through the fast $50 where you sign up for offers until you get 100 credits and then this guy pays you $50 and soon as they are completed. I signed up for the 1st offer against my better judgment to creditreport.com. I went to their homepage, and then immediately to the credit report tab. Up popped my credit reports from all 3 credit report agencies. This morning my debit card showed a $29.95 charge to Experian. Tried to get a refund but only getting a partial of $14.95 in 7 -10 days. Contacted Better Business Bureau and Federal Trade Commission and filed complaints. This company is the same company as FreeCreditReport.com. Free Credit has several thousand complaints with the BBB and their score had fallen to a B so I guess they needed a new identity and website to continue to scam people.
I signed up for project payday awhile back, I thought it would be easy enough to get referrals and make some money but, I was wrong. I learned no one is interested!
