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.

We are sorry to hear this Darrell! MintVine is dedicated to security for our members, but sometimes this means you were flagged by mistake. The most common reason this could happen is if you frequently visit outside the US, UK, or Canada, however this can be remedied by our team immediately.February 11, 2016 by Linda from United States
I think Mintvine has gotten better since first starting up with them a couple years ago. They send more regular surveys, have great and better incentives, have great customer service. They pay for dq's too! Can't beat that!

Thank you for the kind words! At MintVine we have been dedicated to growing as a community. This has led to more payout methods and more surveys offered to members!February 4, 2016 by Sally from United Kingdom
I really liked Mintvine at first, reached 1000 points twice and cashed out by paypal. Points pend for a bit too long but fine other than that.
Until.....
One day the site said it needed my phone number for "verification". I refused to put it in as I get enough sales and nuisance calls as it is and my paypal account verifies who I am.
A few days later I was blocked from redeeming, and so far have had three messages ignored. These are points I earned before they asked for phone numbers. I've read online the same thing has happened to quite a few people.
If they've done it to me they could do it to you. AVOID AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS

Discovered this site a few months ago and have been impressed with the functionality compared to others like it.
MintVine does a great job at organizing the available surveys in my dashboard as well as cash out times.
