There are plenty of people over at the Free Lunchroom and using the ideas from Project Payday who are making money. From my experience I think this is an honest and legitimate program, although not for everyone, but what is??
When I signed up there was an option to not have to purchase the program but to complete an offer and get it that way. They give you a lot of bonuses, including a membership at Survey Scout, which has generally good reviews if you look this up, and by itself if purchased is at least $25.
They offer a $100 guarantee if you follow all their directions within the first 24 hours and do not make money. I actually did not....they say it is impossible but I think it is more like highly unlikely that you will not. I provided documentation of what I did and they did honor their guarantee, and they got back with me within a couple hours as well.
So there are real people there, with real support, and I think they do care about their customers. Just my two cents! I'm new here but thought I would comment on this one since I have used this program.
