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.
How Branded Surveys Works
![branded surveys website](/files/branded-surveys-big.jpg)
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 a wide variety of rewards:
- PayPal cash payments
- Bank transfer - USA only
- Amazon gift cards
- Pre-paid virtual credit cards
- Other 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.
Visit Branded Surveys ›Survey Taking Experience
![Branded Surveys available surveys](/files/branded-surveys-surveys.png)
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.
Member's Tip! Answer questions as honestly as possible so the data collected is accurate and the surveys you qualify for are relevant to you. This makes it much easier to complete surveys quicker.

I would suggest Mintvine for people who are not new to this and can really watch their back.. This site is really shady. You can cash out with actual money and gift cards (I guess), but they don't tell you up front how you earn rewards. They don't tell you what points earn which rewards, so you are taking surveys blindly, earning points and you have no idea what you're going to get compensated for or when until you get to some level I guess. They also require more personal information than most, like they REQUIRE your phone number. They push having you give your information to mass marketers, all of it.. address, phone numbers, etc - specific information, not general info for demographic reasons. Their offers links flag viruses, be careful there. They always want you to sign up for sweepstakes so you can fill out these forms with your name and address once again so they can sell your info. The survey's themselves are impossible to qualify for. I'm just not quite sure if this place is worth the few dollars you can squeeze out of it..rarely

This is one of the best sites for doing surveys. Its fun and the payouts are great. If you have been looking for a good survey site MintVine is a good one.
June 22, 2016 by jill from United States
I love the daily polls, and they let you know fairly quickly if you are not qualified. They really respect their members, this has been my personal experience. I have to say this is one site where I cash out often- points add up quickly! I love them and can't say a bad thing about this site. This is one of my favorites, and I am a member of dozens of sites. I also work full time so have to be choosy with doing surveys in general- I don't have much free time- and MintVine is a go-to for me!

It's funny, because I signed up for the site a long time ago, I thought it was a scam, but it turns out I didn't do all the PayPal info, anyway, after I did that, I started pushing myself to do surveys, some of them are totally redundant because they keep repeating, but if you disqualify, you still get points depending on how much the survey was, for example if you get a survey that's 70 to over 200 you get 5 points if you disqualify for the survey, although, I heard if you keep intentionally doing this, they'll kick you, anyway, the surveys are based on what your interests are, and some are very random as well, because, well, it wants to find all your interests so it can include more surveys that pay out and less surveys that disqualify you. There is a waiting period for surveys which is 15 days, once that's done and you can redeem your points for cash, pay out takes at least 5 days after you've completed the survey that are cleared.... one weeks, so, if your persistent enough, you'll end up with a payout by just waiting, you also have to be very patient. Minimum points you can pay out is 1,000 points, roughly 10 bucks, but the maximum is unlimited. Anyway, hope you like taking surveys

Mintvine has been a solid, fun and well-paying site so far. Low payouts (10 USD) to your PayPal. Excellent referral system (you earn 15% of what your referrals earn!) and generally well-paid surveys (55 cent, 70 cent and above!).
I had to take one star away for the only real complaint I have with them - they are a bit slow. Many surveys require approval, and this can be a matter of weeks before you get credit. Also, upon cashing out, it takes approx. 7 days to get the payment.
All that said, they PAY and they are even nice about it. A pleasure to fill surveys for them and I highly recommend them!
