Introducing FocusGroup Wallet

We are excited to be rolling out our new digital honorarium program. 

How FocusGroup Wallet Works:

1. Upon completion of any interview, focus group, online survey, or any other participation type, you will receive an email with a link that takes you to the FocusGroup Wallet portal.

2. Your honorarium is added to your on-line account (FocusGroup Wallet)

3. You can access the online account at any time for details such as cumulative dollars/points, projects where you received honorarium, how much you have already redeemed, etc.

4. You can redeem the honoraria via a catalog that has options such as Virtual Debit Card, Physical Debit Card, Amazon, Best Buy iTunes, etc.

Here are some answers to questions that may come to mind:

Will all honorarium be issued through FocusGroup Wallet?

  • For the majority of studies you participate in you will receive your honorarium via FocusGroup Wallet, however there will still be certain studies where you may be sent your honorarium by check or physical Visa card. 

How do I receive my honorarium?

  • After completion of your study you will receive an e-mail from participate@focusgroup.com confirming the honorarium amount that has been added to your FocusGroup Wallet. Once you receive that e-mail, you can log in to your account at FocusGroup.com, go to the FocusGroup Wallet section and select a reward option from our catalog. You will receive an e-mail with your electronic gift card from reward@virtualrewardcenter.com within 24 hours of redemption.

Can I still get a physical gift card?

  • Yes, one of the FocusGroup Wallet reward options is a physical gift card. When you redeem your honorarium, you can select the physical Visa card for no additional fee.

Can I still use my physical card at the ATM?

  • Yes, you can still use the physical card to get cash at the ATM. We have also added an additional $2.50 to your physical card to cover any ATM surcharge fees you may encounter. The $2.50 is on us, and is not deducted from your FocusGroup Wallet balance. 

What happens to the points I have already accumulated in my account?

  • Your existing points will be added to your FocusGroup Wallet and can be redeemed by accessing the virtual rewards catalog. For detailed information on how to redeem, Click Here. 

Has anything else changed?

  • No! Everything else remains the same. You will continue to receive invitations via e-mail or by logging in to FocusGroup.com to see studies that are available for you. The only thing that is changing is the way you are rewarded for participating.
