Just got a surprise $2 in the mail from Knowledge Networks

Filed under: All, Make Money 

Today was an exciting day at the mailbox. I got a 25 gift card for Amazon.com from Mypoints. I also received a sample of Kashi’s new Honey Sunshine cereal which came with a coupon I will be using to get 4 boxes of Kashi cereal for 50 cents at Jewel. Add in two movies from my Netflix queue, and that alone makes a fun day.

There was also a huge first class envelope from Knowledge Networks, which I have never heard of. It was addressed to the current residents, so I opened it up and was surprised to be greeted by two 1 dollar bills.

It turns out Knowledge Panel is a US-based research company. They’re currently doing a national recruitment campaign where they’re randomly selecting addresses and inviting people to join the panel. We were one of the households selected! With the $2 cash up front, they’ve definitely got my attention, and I’m signing up for their panel today.

Unfortunately, you can only sign-up for the panel if your household is selected and sent a letter. If you get a big first class envelope from Knowledge Networks, make sure to open it! Even if you’re not interested in the panel, there’s 2 bucks inside, and free money should not go to waste.

Has anyone ever been a part of the KnowledgePanel? I’m interested in hearing about your experiences.

    2. Wow, they mailed you $2 in cash? That’s pretty bold.

    3. Yeah, I was shocked when I opened the envelope and that was the first thing I saw. It made me wonder how many people just toss the envelopes without even opening it and how much money gets thrown away.

    4. We just got one of these in the mail as well, and when I went to google it to see if any one had reported it as a scam, I came across this site and a few others. From what I have read so far, it seems to be legitimate. So strange that they would send actual dollar bills, though! I guess we will sign up give it a try, doesn’t seem like it could hurt.

    5. Yep, they’re definitely legitimate. I’ve been with them since September and have gotten 2 checks from them. I haven’t had a single problem with their surveys either. I definitely recommend that anyone with the opportunity signs up.

    6. I got this in the mail as well, but one thing that surprised me was the two 1$ bills. Their serial codes show that they were printed right after eachother, doesnt that seem wierd?

    7. I don’t know how weird it is. If they got it directly from the bank and they’re all new bills it’s possible they have a stack of bills that were all printed together.

Tell me what you're thinking...
