PineCone Research is Open for Applications – Paid Surveys
I just received an e-mail from PineCone Research Panel, and they are accepting new applicants just for a limited time (if you qualify). Only $3 per survey (takes about 15-20 minutes), I know it doesn’t seem like much, but you can do them when you’re bored, late at night, at work, while you’re watching TV, or instead of going on facebook? Before you know it, by the end of the year, these things can quickly add up to a few hundred dollars (they can send you a check or you can have the funds deposited into your PayPal account).
Anyway, PineCone is one of the better paying survey companies out there, I get a couple surveys each week. Just make sure you stay consistent with the information they ask about you, like your age and the people who live in your household. Also, try not to miss the deadlines for completing a survey. If you screw up any of these, you might suddenly stop receiving surveys.

And if you’re interested, the other decent survey companies are MySurvey.com and SurveySavvy.com.

Lending Club enables individual investors and well-qualified borrowers to get better rates than with banks or credit card companies. Their straightforward, online approach operates at a cost much lower than the big banks.

The result is that Lending Club facilitates loans at an average rate of 14% — a lower rate than most creditworthy borrowers pay on their credit cards today.
