We ask that you provide as much detail about the survey as possible, such as:

1. Three code word phrase of survey
2. Point value 
3. Date/time taken
4. Screen shots (if possible)

This information helps us look into what went wrong so we can properly compensate you for your time. 

Partner Surveys

Partner Surveys include survey offers from some of our research partners. Once you enter your first Partner Survey, you have the opportunity to access several surveys one after another and may be redirected back to Branded Surveys after several survey attempts. 


If you participated in a Partner Surveys Session from your Dashboard, keep in mind these surveys vary in length and point value. Any points earned will be posted on the My Points page within an hour of completing the session. 

If you have issues with a survey that you participated in from our Partner Surveys page, please contact our research partner directly. Peanut Labs survey issues can be reported directly by going to the Transactions dropdown on the Peanut Labs page, selecting the problematic survey and clicking "Report A Problem."

Payments

After redeeming your points, it can take 1-2 business days post approval, to receive payment to your bank account via Branded Pay, PayPal or via gift card in the form of an email. To ensure you have the appropriate information on your redemption, visit https://surveys.gobranded.com/users/withdraw to access your payout details.

On the left-hand navigation menu, click on "Payout Options" to set up your payment preferences. You can choose from a variety of Gift Cards through Tango or select PayPal or Branded Pay.

Once paid out (1-2 business days), your payment will be sent directly to your bank account via Branded Pay, PayPal, or via gift card in the form of an email.

All members are required to have verified Paypal accounts in order to withdraw their earnings via Paypal. You will need to enter this information by selecting "Payout Options" and submitting your email. If you do not have a verified Paypal account you can register by submitting your email and following the instructions found in your email inbox or directly going to Paypal customer support here.

Branded Pay is our proprietary and secure payout option for the Branded Surveys community to deposit their rewards directly into their bank accounts. Just like payday. This service is immensely popular with our dedicated community members and, best of all, is incredibly easy to setup.  

How to Sign Up

Perks


Part of bPay's charm lies within its secure and fast-acting nature. Secure in that this method ensures your funds are directly deposited into your account and fast-acting in that approved transactions can take a little as 48 hours to post to your account -- essentially half the delivery time of other third-party vendors (like PayPal). You are also free to remove a linked bank account from bPay at any time in favor of any other payout option we offer. 

Also, for security purposes, only one Branded Surveys account can be linked to an individual bank account at a time. 

Removing Your Account

Just like signing up, removing your account is easy. All you need to do is first navigate to the Payout Options page. Then...

  • Click "remove account" under bPay

  • Then, you'll be brought back to the Payout Options page where you'll be notified that your account "has been successfully unset from Branded Pay.


Points

You are eligible to redeem once you reach 500 approved points. Once the 500 approved point minimum is reached you'll see your "Redeem Points" button appear under your point balance on your "My Points" page.

Once you've earned a minimum of 500 Points, or $5, you are eligible to redeem your points. You can redeem your Points for cash via PayPal, Branded Pay or request an electronic gift card from Tango and their participating retailers.

Once you have 500 points ready to redeem, "Redeem Points" button will be active under your point total on your "My Points" page. 

If you did not receive a reward confirmation email, a few things may have happened. It could be in your "junk" or "spam" folder, check these first. If you are still having trouble, you can reach out to our support team directly at info@gobranded.com. 



The daily poll is a simple multiple choice question that automatically gifts you 5 points upon completion. If the daily poll does not directly apply to you, simply answer to the best of your abilities. We come up with a new question every day, and as hard as we try some questions just don't apply to every Branded Surveys member. 

In order to cash out, you must have 500 approved points. Once you reach 500 points a "Redeem Points" button will appear on your My Points page. Note - this button will only appear once you have the minimum number of points to redeem (500 points).

In order to redeem a Promo Code for Points, click on "Redeem Promo Code" in the left hand navigation menu. 

While we approve your survey points right away, each survey complete still goes through a quality review by our partners. There may be times when a research partner rejects a survey. When this happens the rejected survey points are deducted from your current point balance. 

There are several reasons why a survey can be rejected. Here are the most common reasons:
  • Unclear open ends
  • Inconsistent responses
  • Answering surveys too quickly

500 points is equivalent to $5 USD. 

In order to redeem you need to earn a minimum of 500 points. 

Remember, it can take 1-2 business days for your redemption to be approved.

Surveys

That depends on each unique survey. Most surveys may only be available for a limited time, and after the quota is met we cannot accept anymore responses.

Our research partners have specific quotas that state how many completed surveys they need. Once we reach that quota, that survey is no longer available. Sometimes this can happen within minutes of the survey becoming available. Not to worry, as you will always be routed to the next available survey opportunity! 

When our survey partners are looking for responses they typically look for a very specific demographic. 


Though we try our best to pre-qualify you for all surveys, there's always a possibility that you are deemed 'not a match' should you not fit the criteria our partners are looking for. 

To help prevent this we always recommend that you keep your profile as up to date as possible. You can update by visiting your profiler surveys here: 


All new surveys that match your profile will be emailed to the email address on record. They will also appear on your dashboard in separate tiles when you login. You will be able to see the duration and the point value of each survey opportunity. 


Keep in mind, you are matched with surveys that you are most likely to successfully complete - so be sure to always keep your profile up to date.

The surveys may only remain available for a limited time until the survey quota is met. Our research partners have specific quotas that state how many completed surveys they need. Once we reach that quota, the survey is no longer available. Sometimes this can happen within minutes of the survey becoming available.

In order to see surveys as they arrive or unsubscribe from getting survey invites via email, you may make modifications in your Preferences under "Email Schedule".

Most surveys are between 10-20 minutes. We'll always tell you the expected amount of time it will take to complete a survey before you begin. We track the average completion time and ensure that the estimations are as accurate as possible. Note - typically longer surveys offer you a larger payout.

Exclusive Surveys are featured under "Extra Earning Opportunities" when you are eligible for these opportunities. Keep in mind that you may be offered several surveys in succession and will not be redirected back to Branded Surveys upon completion. Don't worry! You will still be paid out for each completed survey during your session.

Branded Surveys will match you to endless survey opportunities based on the information you provide in your profile. We are continuously refreshing your survey queue with new surveys. Before entering the survey, you can check out the qualifications listed at the bottom of the Survey Start page to see how you were paired up with that particular survey. You may be asked to verify this information by our research partner. Be sure your answers are consistent with your Branded Surveys profile. If you need to make changes to your profile information, be sure to visit the My Profile page.

We understand that sometimes issues can occur when taking surveys, and we want to ensure that you are properly compensated for your time.


If you do experience an issue with a survey in your history, you can report it by navigating to "My Points" located on the left side navigation menu. 

Scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see the "Report Issue" button.

Once selected, you will be directed to the Report Survey Issue page where you can navigate and select the "Report Issue" button next to the survey you wish to report. 

Remember, including detailed information such as screen shots are extremely helpful during the review process! 

Note, the "Report Issue" button will only appear next to a survey for 24 hours after attempted survey start.

When a survey invite goes out, it can attract more Branded Surveys Members than originally planned and you can receive an "OQ", or "Over Quota". Don't worry, when this happens you'll be routed to the next available match! 

Occasionally, a survey will be sent to you but may not be the best match for your profile. In this case you will get an NQ, or Not Qualified notification. We realize this can be frustrating at times, which is why you are often rewarded with 'NQ' points for trying! 

Each survey is assigned a unique three word phrase that is presented prior to beginning a survey called a Survey Code. Please take note of this phrase as it will help to identify the survey in your survey-taking history. 

If an error occurs while taking a survey, you can report the issue by clicking the Report Issue button located on the My Points page. Be sure to select the survey in which you encountered the issue and explain the problem in as much detail as possible. Attaching a screenshot of the error screen will assist us in identifying the survey issue more efficiently, allowing us to respond in a more timely, thorough manner.

Profile Surveys help our systems better match you to more qualifying surveys!

How Can I Participate?


Easy, just navigate to your Extra Earning Opportunities section on your Dashboard and you’ll be prompted to Profile Surveys one at a time. They’re also accessible at any time on your My Profile tab under Preferences. Simply treat them just as you would a normal survey and answer honestly and truthfully!

What's My Profile? 


Because our partners are constantly on the lookout for particular panelists to complete their surveys, we’ve broken these surveys down into the most popular categories to help match your profile to the most relevant survey opportunities available. That's what encompasses the "My Profile" page and therefore makes it imperative that you answer honestly and consistently when completing these and other surveys we match you with. Otherwise, it'll be nearly impossible for you to complete any surveys and therefore collect any earnings.

How Often Should I Update My Information?


Because life is fluid and always changing, we encourage you to update your profile frequently by simply clicking “Update Answers” on your My Profile page under each completed Profile Survey. New car, new job or a new house? All these warrant a profile update so be as diligent as possible when updating!
