Waste of time
August 24, 2022

When I started this it was great, then I was taking surveys and went through a lot of pages but no credit. This was happening too many times and some of the surveys asked the same political questions over and over again. I see they are based in San Diego and I feel are leaning too much liberal so I am not going to stay with them

Can't get Payout
January 11, 2023

I have been taking surveys with Branded for awhile and I have over 1100 points so I tried to redeem them and it wouldn't let me. I sent them an email and they responded by saying that I am from a country which Branded is not accepted in, I'm from the US. The representative said US, UK and Canada is not accepted. Well it didn't say that when I first signed up and took all the surveys. They just don't want to pay people. This is a scam survey company.

Horrible panel and even worse customer service. At first, they try to win you over by providing a lot of survey opportunities and ways to earn. Then, after you cash out once, you start noticing way less surveys and any points you earn from there will be kept as "pending." I've had money stuck in my account for a while now that I cannot cash out. Contacted customer service numerous times and no response. All I can say is if you're thinking of joining this panel - stay away! Save yourself the time and headache.

Update: This is in response to Minvines reply to my review: I can assure you that your normal business practice is to ignore emails. If the amount of energy spent countering negative reviews was used for 'customer service' (if you even want to call it that) and improving the site, you may actually have a legitimate business. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

After spending countless hours racking up points, I attempted to redeem them from an Amazon gift card (which was very difficult to navigate btw, I'm sure by design). The order never went through after multiple attempts. I sent them an email then they banned me. When I attempt to sign in, the URL becomes this ----> https://surveys.gobranded.com/users/banned...please see the attached picture for reference to what what the message is on the page.

Terrible Site
March 13, 2022

I had cashed out I believe 3 times before to PayPal with no issues. Then this past week I cashed out again and got an email that it would send the money in 1-2 business days. I go to login to the website today and it says I'm locked out and a banned user, with zero explanation. Emailed support and no answer as to why or what happened. Given I've done nothing wrong and just answered surveys normally this makes zero sense other than they are scamming me out of the survey money I earned. AVOID.

Real deal
May 15, 2022

I got nothing but great experience with branded surveys. I did not have to wait for round amount to get money on my PayPal account. In two days I received my reward. Nice way to get few extra dollars. Don't expect hundreds of dollars… but you can get some cash.

I joined just a few months ago and have yet to take a survey. Message says no surveys available. The only way I have made 120 points so far is by answering the daily poll. Do not know why there is never a survey available. I check in every day.

My favorite survey site!
November 22, 2017

I have been doing MintVine surveys for going on three years now and I am quite happy with my experience. I've cashed in 1000 points for $10.00 in PayPal dollars a total of 26 times, so far. I've had a very few instances of minor problems (such as completing a survey, including the follow-up questions to show you're not a robot, and then being told I had failed to qualify, for example). However, a courteous request for resolution of such an issue has always resulted in a similarly courteous response from MintVine and (usually) the awarding of any points in question.

Surveys
November 7, 2022

For the most part it is ok. I have gone into surveys and spent a lot of time for it to just freeze up and I get nothing in return. I have done one payout so far and waiting to receive it. I hit gold status within 3 days. Now that I am there it doesn't seem like there is a lot of surveys for me to do. If I click on them they are always full. Will update if it doesn't get better.

Branded surveys was once a reliable company but they are collapsing quickly. I have used this site for many years without any problem and have earned over 1500 dollars. A couple of years ago they began disqualifying people from surveys that have been completed properly and banking the money for themselves. They have fewer and fewer surveys available all the time. Last week after trying to cash out they simply banned my account and said they wouldn't pay. When a survey company begins seizing money without cause its a sure sign the company is bankrupt and simply can't pay. Don't waste your time here

I really like branded surveys better than some of the others out there. Many are just spam machines so you lose time on valid surveys while deleting the spam pushers.

I would also like to see more financial institutions to link to for the cash redemption feature.

Within the same day of joining I made enough points to redeem for a brand specific gift card. After two days it was ready for me to use and I made a purchase with it. It went smoothly and using this survey site is easy and enjoyable. You're able to qualify for the majority of surveys and the few you don't you're still given a few points anyway. The minimum for a payout is $5 or you can wait and accumulate cash. There is a large amount of brand specific gift cards available including a plain cash visa available. Overall I recommend this site as a way to get some extra pocket cash. It can take up quite a bit of time in your day though.

Branded was an okay survey site for awhile, until they try to get rid of you for no apparent reason. I receive no redeem button and no surveys. I know it is not my internet or a proxy because I was using the same internet connection all day on November 20th, 2019.

I have had no trouble doing the surveys and accumulating points but was disappointed that i couldnt redeem the points unless i had a mobile phone. My niece had to put her number in for me to get my money. I read the critic- i had that experience with other programs- i dont know what i did wrong and they discontinued my membership. I have had no problems with surveys here. Thank you for the prize money!

I have been with Branded Surveys for some time now and have found them to be very good. There are always lots of surveys to do. I did my $20 test, amounted $20 in points and cashed out. They send an email saying they received a request for payout then another email is sent when it is processed and I got my reward., turnaround time a few days. They have lots to choose from for prizes. The only bad thing I have to say about them thats why I gave them 4 stars is surveys are released at any time so be prepared for a full in basket of messages unless you change the settings for your accout. Other than that I will continue to use them and recommend them.

Scammers!
May 25, 2017

This is a total scam, only to do long surveys then QQ you at the end when vital information has already been extracted. Challenge them at Mintvine and they block you, or you get some rep in Russia or something who cares less about how you were screwed. Now they dont want to pay and im not the only one either. Beware!

It sounds like you may have been temporarily blocked due to security flags on your account. Using a proxy server or accessing MintVine outside of the US, UK, or Canada can cause these blocks. If that is the case, please switch to a local IP address that matches your stated location in your profile.

Branded I find is very entertaining fun and I like the fact that there is a choice of gift cards. One thing that I don't like is going through unlikely qualification and you've already done a profile survey also when you go through what you think is a survey for 20 minutes 30 minutes only to tell you that you don't qualify or it's full but other than that I really enjoy doing the surveys thank you

Excessive Disqualifications
October 16, 2022

I'm seriously getting tired of disqualifications, I was a gold member for awhile then disqualifications started coming back 2 back, in the middle of a survey and you will never believe this, at the end! Like why? I'm wasting my time at this point and feel cheated, like my time isn't worth anything to them. I used to love this site but now I feel use and cheated. I just spent nearly 40mins trying to complete some surveys. Only completed 1 and daily poll. It's always the $1-$2 surveys at that very suspicious, I'm a single parent and every nickel helps but I also like reading and learning new information but I'm very disappointed lately and they never respond to my disputes.

Sadly I actually fill out open end questions with actual substance because I actually care about these issues or products. Does that matter? Not ftom what I can see at this point. Truly sad what people will do to others for their own gain
