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.

They pay cash and you can qualify for lots of surveys.

September 16, 2019 by Larry from United States

First off I think branded surveys should change whoever is currently handling their customer service department. Because it is very vital to any business out there... So I joined this site about 2months ago or so but I have not really been active.. 2weeks ago I decided to be active and take surveys I wanted to give it a trial and see how it works. Gladly everything was going fine and I had gotten about 900points already. Just 100 points left to get 1000points and make my first withdrawals. But then I noticed I couldn't take surveys anymore. Each time I click on surveys I get a message in RED that says sorry this survey is not available to you... I was shocked.. Then I messaged them. I got a reply that says using a proxy can cause account to be flagged and I should please abide by the rules.. I replied that I don't even know what a proxy is for christ sake.. The only thing I can think of is probably maybe because I connected to my work place wifi during my break. I wanted to take surveys so I connected to my work wifi maybe that is why it detected proxy or something. I really don't know.. I sent another message again I got the same reply again from Hannah!! It seems to me that Hannah just goes ahead and sends you this same message over and over again without even checking or fixing your account... Yes you have told me it seems there was a proxy the first time and I have replied I am not using proxy but then she will send the same message over and over again..for christ sake at least check out my account first and remove the flag.. It is really annoying. I feel they should really work on the way they reply there panelist... What baffles me most is that at 100 points my account wasnt flagged up until I have gotten 900points ah mean common guys!! 🙄 🙄.

Not only have they screwed their loyal users when they switched over to the new layout, by taking away all of our poll streaks and bonuses, but now every survey you take you had better screenshot all along the way because they will falsely record NQ or technical error to avoid paying you the few measly points they even offer for long surveys. And actually, as I found out today, it doesn't even matter if you have a screenshot because they will just ignore it and insist that you only worked on a survey for one minute, even though it was over 15 minutes and you have proof of a completion page.

Edit: even after providing proof of time stamps and screenshots of survey completion, they are STILL refusing to credit me, and keep on insisting I was disqualified immediately, even though I can and have provided proof to the contrary.

I joined Branded surveys and completed enough surveys to cash out . Then I got the run around about updating my profile which I did. Tried to cash out and contacted them after waiting a week with no pay even though there company says in 2 to 3 business days. Contacted them ..got Hannah who said I need to complete my profile . Did the survey again to complete my profile. Told her I did she wrote back telling me I needed to do this other part of the survey again which I filled out partially and then said the heck with it . Seems like a big run around to me and not worth my time for $10

There are countless ways to make money online and one of the most popular is doing online surveys. They don’t pay a lot, but for the most part, they’re safe and simple. They're also a great way to get started if you've never made money online before.
