Seeking Consumers with Credit Card Experience for Focus Groups
We are currently recruiting people to participate in focus groups about credit cards and credit
options. If you currently have one or more credit cards, or if you have used a store credit card to
make a major home or electronics purchase, you may be qualified to participate in a focus group.
The focus groups will last 60 minutes and participants will be paid $75. The study will take place at
[location] and we are currently scheduling participants for [dates]. This research is being sponsored
by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal government agency that was
created to help consumers. Feedback from the groups will be used to help consumers better
understand credit card offers.
If you have a credit card or have made a major purchase using a store credit card and are
interested in participating, please contact us at [contact info]. We will ask you to complete a short
screener and we will notify you if you qualify for the study.
Thank you!
