Branded has surveys for all walks of life. They value your opinion and privacy. The surveys are meaningful and about current affairs. The compensation is reasonable for a survey website. I would recommend them.

Can never get high numbered surveys
June 4, 2022

I climbed to Gold quickly but I had to do a lot of low point surveys. Every time I click on a high point survey and go halfway through it, it says survey is full or I'm not fit for survey. I haven't done a payout yet but we'll see.

Hi Letty,
It's true surveys can fill up rather quickly. You'll always be routed to the next available match!

Don't waste your time
November 20, 2023

Started off fine. However, for the last month, every single survey completed (av. 10 mins + each) has failed AFTER completing the survey. Seventeen consecutive surveys.

You raise an issue and get an automated response saying, no payment as only spent a minute on it. Even though clearly you have fully completed and I take screenshots when I can be bothered.

Beginning to wonder if they aren't just pocketing the money for these surveys themselves, Christmas party fund etc. Clearly something is wrong somewhere, but they are simply not interested.

Avoid, unless you love being lied to and having your time wasted.

If you used to know them, you don't know them at all! Points are now credited immediately, rather than the old two-week wait. They have a great selection of gift cards, or you can use PayPal or get a deposit right into your bank account. The minimum cash out is only $10, which you WILL get to fairly quickly with regular use. My only tiny complaint is you have to wait about 2 days for your prize, but it still comes faster than they say it will! I cannot recommend highly enough!

I have been doing this for a few weeks now and yes they pay however what you have to go through to get the $5 or $10 here or there is not worth it. Case in point, I just did a survey spent the whole 15 minutes answering every question and get to the end where its suppose to tell me how many points I got and it said oops you do not qualify for points. I got to Gold fairly easily but what does it matter when I can't qualify for the surveys to get the points. Time is money and it's not cutting it so I'm going to try to get the last 175 points so I can get my last $5 and go.

Just horrible
May 2, 2022

I've been trying to complete their surveys for 3 months and everytime a survey doesn't pay out I kept emailing them asking me for the fair compensation they said they would provide. Later I find out if your in anyway frustrated they will not help you but close your account and lock you away from your hard earned money. It's a horrible website with poor survey payouts and worse service. Never ask for their help of they will shut down your account for asking for the compensation they promised and will never get. I'm just baffled they would close my account because I said they weren't even helping me.

As you can see they believe your time is worth $1 an hour on the high side. Every point is 1 cent. The majority of these surveys will say 30 mins for 15 points. They are a horrible organization that doesn't care about the absolute health of their employees through no pay, getting kicked form surveys and then locking YOUR HARD EARNED POINTS.

A solid survey site
December 21, 2023

I have been completing surveys on this site for a few years. I usually build points until it is worth £50 and then I cash in. It can take a good few months to achieve this as at times surveys are repeatedly unavailable. At other times I can complete several within a short space of time so it can be frustrating. If you have time to spare it is worth doing and many of the surveys are interesting. I have never experienced a problem with payout.

I have a lot of money I need to make up as a medical student. So I joined this, putting my faith in humanity. I worked hard to pay for my medical school, so I took it very seriously. However, for some reason, they banned me, which bothers me a lot. After all the work I put in, it is just foolish to ban me without cause. Even after expressing how wonderful this software was in public. Do not use this app; it is a fraud/scam. It was not worth it. They hire you, and after that, they ban you.

Branded Way
September 25, 2018

Branded the Way what more can I say. Nice little earners two payouts iin 13 days. 5***** Branded the Way. Beautiful site lovely layout. Great incentives to get you logged on everyday. My number one site by far. Surveys galore and then plenty more. Points if you don't qualify, loads of offers, I've only been spending 20-30 mins a day imagine if I did more there a potential to make major bucks.

This is it's excellent website if you're interested in earning a couple of extra bucks. It's relatively quick easy just give your honest opinion that's all you have to do the only downside with this is that payments were supposed to be instant other sites instantly credit your account so they could just make that one thing a little better instead of the usual 24 to 48 hour wait it would be great cuz most of us are on here because we're short it's cash and we need it right away. But other than that it's a great site

I like how easy it is to actually get paid once you earn $5 worth of points. HOWEVER, here are the downsides of Branded Surveys: 1) Oftentimes you spend several minutes working on a survey, only to have it "fill up" before you finish, and then you get locked out without earning any points for the work you did. 2) It can be difficult to "qualify" for surveys, depending on your demographic information. 3) Some of the surveys take MUCH longer to complete than advertised. I've ended up backing out of surveys several times because of this, and of course earn no points for my efforts. Another popular survey platform at least gives you 5 points each time you start a survey. Branded Surveys does not.

I tried twice on two separate accounts to cash out $5. After clicking "redeem" it practically deactivated my account. The response from the support team when I filed a complaint was " We have detected that your survey responses lack in quality and care. In order to ensure we retain quality for our partners, your account has been deactivated." Scam!

Worth checking out!

Simply put, this is a legit survey company. I've found it's relatively easy to earn some pocket money with Branded Surveys in a short period of time. They process your redemption of points quickly and you have options as to how you wish to receive your money. Surveys are generally redirected to other companies, but there are in-house surveys as well. A common complaint with taking online surveys with_any_ company is being told you don't match the company's criteria for a given survey after you've answered a significant number of questions and have invested the time. That holds true here, but this company offers bonus opportunities and other perks that I've not seen elsewhere. So far, I'm very happy I gave this company a try.

A newbie
May 9, 2024

Having taken many surveys with different companies I became disillusioned with the number of surveys which took a lot of time but which only offered me a place in a prize draw as a reward. I was recommended to branded surveys and so far I am not disappointed. I am offered plenty of surveys and can quickly gain points
I have achieved gold badge status in a couple of weeks which pleases me. Most of the surveys have been interesting. I do feel irritated when I have spent 10 minutes answering questions but am still rejected. I think there should be a time limit during which acceptance or rejection happens. I have emailed BS twice with a problem but am yet to receive a reply but I am optimistic that I will. So far so good.

Hi Janette,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! If you spend more than 10 minutes on a survey and are not credited, please use the "report issue" feature located at the bottom of your My Points page - our analysts will review that and compensate you for your time. Thank you!

I started my account with Branded Surveys earlier this month and it only took a day or so for me to become an elite bronze member, then a few days laterI reached the elite silver tier and now I'm an elite gold member and earning a certain % of bonus points for each survey that I completed within the designated timeframe. It tells you in your account how many elite bonus points that are pending and will be rewarded after the survey passes a quality review. Branded Surveys is by far the best experience on any paid survey taking platform that there is. I love that this site actually cares about its members and rewards them weekly for their honest opinions.

I've had a great experience with Branded Surveys. I cash out every time I reach 1000 points for a $10 gift card.(just in case something goes wrong as it sometimes can with survey sites, that way I only lose 1000 points. No problems with this one so far) There are a lot of gift cards to choose from as well as PayPal. I know I won't qualify for every survey, but at least I get 1 to 2 points for each try. I've made $260 in gift cards since Feb using this site as well as four others. It takes up a lot of my time but since I can't work I've made this my job & I love it! I know I can't qualify for every survey since companies are looking for specific people to survey.(example: I drink Coke & they're looking for people who drink Pepsi, I will not qualify) Patience is needed if you want to be successful with this & you're not going to get rich, but to me this is such an easy & fun way to make extra money. Thanks Branded Surveys!

This website promises the universe and barely delivers anything of note.
(1) Set up: takes 30 minutes (no money made)
(2) Each survey requires a pre-survey to see if you are the target audience. (2-10 minutes without pay)
(2a) 50% of the time you get an apology screen and booted back to the main page saying you don't
match
(3) 2 hours invested and i still haven't reached the magical 500 points to earn the first $5 payout.
Conclusion... waste of time.

Don't waste your time
December 16, 2022

I didn't want to ask for payment for a while. I wanted to wait until I reach the 2,000 points. When I was chosen the payment method, they blocked my account immediately. It happened on Nov 23.2022, on that day I filled up my last survey (except the daily survey, I still answer on it). They don't answer on any email. You only waste your time, if you pay attention on them.

Another rejected member
October 18, 2017

I've used Mintvine for almost a year, with absolutely no problems until earlier this month. My payouts were rejected, and I kept getting canned responses from "customer service". I was told I was using a proxy server, which I had no clue what that was. They won't remove the block on the account so I can access it from my home wifi, which does not use a proxy.

Then today I was told that my phone number is fraudulent- even though it has been verified by their site! At this point, all I want is my $22.00 in survey points, and then I am done with this site. Although I am disappointed, as this was my favorite survey site up until now.
