In November 2017, MintVine rebranded itself as Branded Surveys. The company has been running online surveys since 2012.

Branded Surveys is an online paid surveys site that offers users the opportunity to answer online surveys in exchange for rewards including cash and gift cards.

Over 13 million people in the USA, Canada and UK are members of the site and over $62 million has been awarded in payouts.

Take Surveys, Earn Rewards

Branded Surveys provides its members the opportunity to participate in online surveys on its Go Branded website, in a wide variety of different topics in exchange for rewards. Formerly known as MintVine, in 2017, the panel completely redesigned their website and took on the new name, 'Branded Surveys'. Branded offers its members tons of different rewards options and issues gift cards within 48 hours of transactions being processed.

New Member Bonus

New members of Branded Surveys can get a $1.00 (100 point) joining bonus by simply creating an account and taking the profile survey. After completing the survey, 100 points will be instantly credited to your account. That's a whopping 20% of the points needed for your first cash out!

Registration is quick – use your social account or email to sign up. No promo code is required to take advantage of the bonus.

Earn a Payout in as Little as One Week!

Payouts on Branded Surveys range in value for surveys and can be as high as 300 points. If you are not the best fit for a survey, you will still be rewarded with points for answering even a couple of questions - compensating you for your time and inching you forward to your first payout, be it a cash payment, gift card or other reward.

How to Redeem Points

When you complete a survey, you will be rewarded with points and your survey answers will be sent directly to Branded Survey’s market research clients. Once you have earned a minimum of 500 approved points ($5.00 USD), a redemption button will become active in the "My Points" section of your account, allowing you to cash out your earnings and redeem your points.

Rewards

When you're ready to request a cash out from your Branded Surveys account, click the redemption button and choose from over 300 different rewards!

• PayPal cash payments
• Bank transfer - USA only
• Amazon gift cards
• Pre-paid virtual credit cards
• Gift cards including: eBay, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Chipotle, Airbnb, and more!

You can get paid directly to your bank account, allowing you to get your hard earned cash even faster! Upon approval of your withdrawal (1-2 business days), a payout will post to your bank account within 24-48 hours (USA residents only). This withdrawal method was formally known as Branded Pay.

Redemptions take approximately 1-2 business days to process, and all rewards are digital. Gift cards will be issued as e-gift cards, and cash payments will be sent electronically. A valid phone number may be required to verify your identity to cash out your rewards.

Promo Codes

Promo codes on Branded are available for users to input into their member accounts, and will credit accounts with free points. These promo codes are available via special contests and promotions, though they aren't available often.

Survey Lengths

The average survey on the platform takes 11 minutes to complete, but the estimated completion time will always be listed on survey invitations (which are e-mailed, or can also be found listed in your account). Not only can you take interesting surveys, but daily poll opportunities and online focus groups are also offered.

Many surveys, as well as the platform itself, is posted on the gobranded domain name. Go Branded is the same as Branded Surveys - it's simply what the panel uses in their url.

Daily Polls

Log into your account daily to receive 5 points for taking the quick poll available on your Branded Surveys Dashboard. You may complete one poll every 24 hours.

Earn Extra Points

Local Deals are provided by businesses and offer additional opportunities to earn points with Branded Surveys. These opportunities are also listed in your Branded Surveys dashboard. The more points you earn, the more qualified you will be for additional opportunities.

How Much Points are Worth

Branded Surveys uses a very simple points conversion system. 500 points = $5 USD, so 100 points = $1. Therefore, each individual point is worth 1 cent, or $0.01.

If you are located in Canada or the UK, you will receive your rewards in your local currency, converted from USD. For instance, a $10 USD payment issued to a Canadian would be equal to approximately $12.50 CAD. $10 USD issued to a UK resident would equal approximately £8.00.

Branded Elite

Branded Elite is Branded Surveys’ rewards program. There are three levels of membership depending on your monthly survey activity. The badge levels are Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each badge level grants members the opportunity to earn weekly bonus points.

As you take surveys throughout the month, you can advance through Bronze, Silver and Gold badge levels. You must meet the minimum survey requirements each month to keep your badge through the next month.

• Complete 2 surveys per calendar month for Bronze
• Complete 10 surveys per calendar month for Silver
• Complete 25 surveys per calendar month for Gold

Earn Weekly Rewards

As a Branded Elite badge member, you can earn a weekly bonus when you complete 12, 20 or 30 surveys per week (Monday-Sunday). Your bonus is a percentage of your total approved survey points for the week.

• When you complete 12 surveys per week, you can earn a 5% bonus as a Bronze member, a 10% bonus as a Silver member and a 15% bonus as a Gold member.

• When you complete 20 surveys per week, you can earn a 12% bonus as a Silver member and a 17% bonus as a Gold member.

• When you complete 30 surveys per week, you can earn a 14% bonus as a Silver member and a 19% bonus as a Gold member.

Re-qualify to Keep Your Badge Status

To maintain your badge color, members are encouraged to keep participating. Note that badges are subject to change on the first of each month if there was minimal participation for the duration of the month.

Branded Leaderboard

Increase your daily payout by getting on the Leaderboard. The Leaderboard tracks the Daily Top 50, Weekly Top 50 and Monthly Top 20 performers and rewards members for their survey completions.

• Daily Top 50 leaders = 50 points
• Weekly Top 50 leaders = 200 points
• Monthly Top 20 leaders = 300 points

Remain Active to Win Daily, Weekly & Monthly Prizes

Remember that for every survey you complete, you will get submitted into a daily, weekly and monthly random prize drawing. Win up to 50 extra points in a daily drawing, 500 points in the weekly drawing and 1000 points for the monthly drawing. The more you participate, the greater number of entries you will receive for the drawings.

Generous Referral Program

Log in to your Branded Surveys account to retrieve your unique referral link which you can share with friends and extended family members to earn extra points. Earn up to 500 bonus points (worth $5!) for each friend referred, based on your current badge status and the badge your friend earns. You can earn points twice for the same referral! First, when they earn a silver badge, and again if they achieve a gold badge.

Benefit Your Friends

Your friends also benefit by using your referral link! Upon signing up, they have the chance to earn up to 500 bonus points. They'll receive a 200 point bonus if they reach Silver badge level, and 300 points if they become a Gold badge holder.

Alternatively, Branded also offers an affiliate program for website owners and influencers who are able to drive a large number of sign ups to their site.

Take Surveys from Your Phone

Branded Surveys offers a mobile app that is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, giving both iPhone and Android users the opportunity to take surveys from their phone.

The app functions almost identically to the Branded Surveys website, making it intuitive and easy to use. Receive survey notifications directly onto your phone via push notifications, instead of having to sort through email. When you receive a push notification from the app, simply click the survey alert and you will automatically be brought to the survey start page.

Use the Branded Surveys app just as you would the website - take surveys, check your account balance, and redeem your rewards whenever ready.

Is Branded Surveys Legit?

Branded Surveys is a completely legitimate paid survey site and is not a scam. Although users of the site may have different experiences interacting with the site and taking surveys, the operating company is a credible market research firm that has issued over $60 million dollars in rewards to its members - confirming that Branded Surveys is legit.

December 10, 2019 by Kara from United States

Never ever qualify anymore, haven't gotten a d's prolly in over a month. Points now missing. This is the last place I come to now.points are back but survey length is inane. 23 cents for 25 minutes! The survey length changes a lot after you get to the actual survey. It'll say 90 cents for 8 minutes but when you click it will say 90 cent for25 minutes. That's a big jump but most I assume think they might as well go ahead and give them a extra 17minutes cause we are.so glad to finally get a survey. Customer service has declined drastically. Dont answer my ticket correctly. Will give me a answer about something I didn't ask. This has happened multiple times yesterday. I asked why I have not been given any disqualifying points after attempting a survey. Its been.over a month and no dq points. 3 emails over this and was told to keep trying to do surveys. Payment is never late but if you only netting 5 cent off a daily poll then every week you're only making 35 cent, 1.40 cents a month so then you should be able to cash out for 10$ in 7 months. Almost the time it takes to have a baby... Tv studies from poprewads used to be reliable but the last 3 months I've tried it says its full or I don't qualify. How can you not qualify for inputting what you watched on tv? Go figure...How do all.these surveys come in and soon as they come in I click but magically this survey is no longer available. All day everyday. It was fun while it lasted but now it's.blasted

This site does not pay. Do not waste your time. It is trash. Support does not answer.

I got this message:
Dear Branded Surveys Member,

Please note that all issues regarding withdrawal requests and point balances have now been resolved. We thank you for your patience and appreciate your dedicated membership!
Thank you,

But, the problem is not solved!!!!!
How can I get paid? I don’t even have this button.

This is my second year with Branded/Mintvine. Even though their payout points per survey aren't as high as some others, what they lack in points they make up for it in steady dependability and the best support team.

November 28, 2019 by Trevor from United Kingdom

I generally used to earn at least 1500 points (worth £10+) each month with Branded, but over the last couple of months I have qualified for hardly any surveys. Those I have done offer a pitiful number of points and invariably end with me receiving a 'Quota full' message, meaning I have to contact BS to get the points added manually. This isn't tenable, so I deleted my account today.

November 22, 2019 by Natisha from United States

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.
