The Best Trial Offer Sites
Trial offer sites are a lucrative way to make a couple extra hundred dollars and try out neat products like Blockbuster Online, but they have significant risks.
If you heed the following precautions, however, your risks diminish greatly.
- If you use these sites, make sure to stay organized and write down these things for each offer you complete: the date you completed it, the length of the trial period, how to cancel (telephone, email, etc.), and your order details.
- After the trial offer site credits you for each offer that you complete, cancel the offer to avoid future billings.
These sites are risky in that if you fail to cancel an offer before the renewal date your credit card will get charged. If you stay organized, though, you shouldn't have any problems.

Vindale Research is one of the best in that they credit you for completed offers quickly, they only list offers that are profitable, and they have a great, well-designed site. They claim to be a research company because you have to take a brief 3 minute survey for each offer you complete.
The only bad thing is that they only pay the first and fifteenth of every month and only in increments of $50. They do pay with check or PayPal, however.
Here is a screenshot of how much money I have made in 20 days:
After taking out the expense needed to try some of the products ($10.00 for Blockbuster Online, $7.00 for the Video Professor, etc.), I have made around $80 so far.
Vindale Research is truly the best trial offer site out there.

Prizebook is another well-designed trial offer site. It contains more offers (some are not profitable, though) than Vindale. The best thing about this site is that you can cash out at any time via check or PayPal and there is no minimum balance required. The only bad thing is that some of the links that track if you complete the offer or not do not work very well and you end up waiting the required 14 days before submitting a missing credit report. This is a big hassle in my book. If this site had better link tracking then it would be the top trial offer site, but alas, it is not so.
