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.

March 22, 2016 by Carolyn from United States
I have joined a lot of survey sites to see what I can earn. A lot are real crap. But so far Mintvine has been a great site. I have been a member since 2/28/16 and have already requested my first payout of $11.53. And as I await that, Im already over 1000 so am ready to request the 2nd.
The surveys have been fun. I've watched videos (ads) and then answered questions on them (my favorite), done virtual reality shopping, answered some VERY interesting political ones (I'd love to see the results on those!) and have done some regular Q&A.
So after being a member for just 3 weeks racking up over 2000 points I think is quite good. They even give you a few points for trying if you dont qualify (most of the time...sometimes if you get stuck in the tunnel you dont get those).
The only issue seems to be the payout. Once you reach the 1000 you have to wait about 2 weeks to be approved and even tho it says 48 hours to be paid its taking longer. I was approved for payment on 3/17...its 3/21 still no word. thus the 4 stars. Hope the payment process gets better :)

Mintvine was my favourite survey site as I achieved 1000 points in around 2 weeks so overall only had to wait 4 weeks until I could redeem however I tried to redeem my points and Mintvine said they'd sent me an email to the correct email address to confirm so I could be paid however I've never gotten it and it's been a few days. I don't know why?? If they sort it I would definitely recommend it however if they don't its a waste of time. I have contacted them and heard nothing back!

Request from 3 days ago the payment of 3200 points and are still pending, as I have to wait for the payment is processed to my paypal?
March 18, 2016 by Amber from United States
I have only qualified for one survey in the entire 8 months or so that I've been a member. However, the polls make up for that. For every poll you vote on, you get 5 points (there is one poll per day). If you vote on 10 polls in a row without skipping any days, you get 25 bonus points. So if you never skip the daily poll, that's 225 points per 30 days. The minimum cash out is $10. Cashout is through paypal, & it takes up to two weeks to get there. Another way to make easy money on this site is by referring people. If you refer someone, you get 15% of everything they make. When a user first signs up, they go through a tutorial process and get a lot of extra points right away.

I've really been enjoying it, but made my first withdrawal, and 4 days in, it hasn't hit my PayPal. I've sent an email, and haven't heard anything back. Anyone else's really delayed? or is it just the first withdrawal you make?

Unfortunately we are currently seeing delays in the payment process. What typically takes 2 business days has been backed up this week. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and are taking steps to prevent issues like this in the future. Rest assured you will receive your payment!» Return to: TOP RATED SURVEY SITES
