This biggest negative with Permission Research is that your primary reward is sweepstakes and not direct rewards for your participation. While the company is certainly reputable and there are winners, a certain degree of luck is need to make this program worth your while.

If you're looking for a more conventional company that pays out directly in cash and gift cards, you may want to look elsewhere.

The best part about Permission Research is that there's not much active participation required for you to have a chance to be rewarded. The only requirement is that you download their software and allow them to anonymously monitor your Internet usage. The software is completely safe, but if you have a lot of other programs running on your PC you may not want to endure the extra strain on your resources.

Additionally, you may receive survey invites via pop-ups (which you can turn off), which can be a bit annoying.

This program is worth a try, but certainly isn't for everyone. The upside is that you could get lucky and hit the big one with the sweepstakes offer. Plus, there is limited downside as the software is easily removed if you decide to no longer participate.
