As of November 3, 2017, we have received numerous complaints about the company and have decided to remove their links from the website. They have also lost their B+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. They now have a C rating, and the BBB warns that they have a pattern of complaints.

What is Product Report Card?
Product Report Card – maybe you’ve heard of it. But the big question is, can you make money online using Product Report Card?
Let me share a little info with you so you can decide for yourself.
Product Report Card is a site that allows you to sign up to receive paid survey invitations via email. It takes less than five minutes to sign up, and it’s 100% free.
Once you have signed up, your first survey should arrive in your inbox within 24 hours. You get paid for each survey you complete, so the more surveys you take, the more money you will make.
You won’t qualify for every survey, and some do require a purchase or some sort of sign up, but not all. I completed a LinkedIn survey and earned $2.50, I didn’t have to sign up for anything, and it didn’t take much time at all.
How Do You Get Paid?
You can choose to be paid in cash, in free products or in gift codes to redeem for products. (Note that there is a $25 threshold for payout).
You can start earning money with Product Report Card right off the bat by filling out different profiles. These profiles will help the company know which surveys you’re more apt to qualify for, so I would recommend doing as many of these as your time allows.
They don’t have to be completed all at once, it’s at your own discretion. The money you can earn from setting up your profiles ranges from $0.25 to $5.00.
It took me under 10 minutes to complete about 7 profiles (I had previously completed a few), and I earned around $7.75, including a $5.00 bonus for completing all my profiles. Not too bad, huh?!
Become a Product Reviewer with Product Report Card
Once you’ve completed all of your profiles at Product Report Card, you qualify to become a product reviewer. What this means is that you can earn money for reviewing the products that you already own and use. The payout is typically around $0.50, and the review process is simple. The average time it takes is about six minutes.
For the review, they want you to write (up to 500 characters) what you think about your product. You need to give your review a title, and then elaborate on a few things that you like the best and the least about your product. They also want you to include suggestions you might have for the manufacturer about how they could improve their product.
You include info both about the product you own and yourself, and they give you some very basic questions with simple just-click-the-circle multiple choice answers. Easy peasy. They also want your opinion as to whether or not you would purchase this particular product from the same manufacturer again, or recommend it to a friend. Upload your product picture, and hit the submit button, and you’re done!
Save Money with Product Report Card
Product Report Card can also help you make money by helping you save money! You can research just about any product at Product Report Card, find out almost everything about it, where you can purchase it and how much it costs.
This is helpful when you have a limited budget and are searching for the best deal. Or if you want to compare features of a product side by side so you can make an informed decision as to which one to purchase.
Conclusion
It’s definitely not a site that you will earn big bucks with, but if you’re looking for a fun way to earn a few dollars here and there, it might be a good choice for you to make money online using Product Report Card. It’s also very helpful when shopping for new items and could save you tons of time you’d spend researching new products for yourself.

PRC keeps sending me surveys to do by email. But for I would say a month now the links to the survey are frozen, as is any everything in the email. After reading all this ,I believe that I have waste a lot of time. I am right on the $25.00 ,ready to cash out line. I am going to try to get it today. I am glad that I happened upon your website that oh s morning.
Good luck, Susan.
Let us know how it works out for you.
Ok… I see good words about PRC & bad … what is the bottom line?
By the way Work at Home Mom … glad, I found you … will peruse your site later …
You ask for my site address … does that mean you’ll take a look?
Hi Glenda,
Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for Product Report since they have a poor track record of making payments. Try a site like Swagbucks which delivers on their promises (they also have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau).
Yes, I try and browse my reader’s websites =)
I have been with PRC for over a year, have put in twice for payouts and received them in a timely fashion. I have not a single complaint with them, have spoken to them over the phone and a few emails, not only are they really nice people to talk to, they are helpful and have some great survey opportunities. I have to commend them for a great website and quick payments with no issues of any kind. I think they deserve a better rating with BBB, but that is my personal opinion from having nothing but a great experience. I hope this helps and encourages others to sign up with them.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Debby.
I have to agree!!! I qualified for a study recently and was selected to do a web cam conference with a handful of other consumers of a certain brand. We were paid $85 for a one hour interview giving honest feedback. I don’t expect that to happen often, but I’ve only been doing this for about 2 months. My payment included the profile earnings and everything in my balance. Total check was $93 and I received it 2 weeks later. Which they DID inform me it would take that amount of time due to completing the studies with other people as well. I’ve been very pleased with all interactions.
I can’t find a “contact us” link and I want to know how I cash out?
