REDEEMING REWARDS

checkmark No points system
Accrue a balance of $8.00 (or 4 GBP) in your account, receive a PayPal payment within 48 hours of request and sometimes even instantly. $10 USD (£5) minimum account balance required for Amazon vouchers.

Register for Paid Surveys and Cash Out With PayPal or Amazon

Crowdology offers cash for each survey completed. 5 minute surveys pay $0.50 and after a balance of $8.00 (or £4 in the UK) is accrued in your account, you can withdraw your earnings to your PayPal account. Alternatively, choose to receive an Amazon voucher. Surveys pay anywhere from $0.40 - $10 each.

Types of Surveys Offered

Online surveys on everyday topics, brand-name household products and current issues. Crowdology stresses that their surveys are not boring!

Survey Lengths

The surveys themselves are quite short, ranging from 2 to 20 minutes in length and award cash upon successful completion - there are no complex points systems to worry about as cash is awarded each time a survey is finished.

Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes are held sporadically and usually upon registering to the Crowdology panel. You can also be entered into sweepstakes by sharing Crowdology with your friends via email invite.

Some of the prizes Crowdology members have won include Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Headphones, Spotify Premium Subscriptions and ASOS Vouchers, just to name a few.

Redemption Process

In order to withdraw from your account, you will need to have at least $8.00 in your Crowdology account (or £4 in the UK) as well as a PayPal account to transfer your Crowdology funds to. This company does not pay out rewards via check. The time between the request and the balance landing in your PayPal account is on average 48 hours. Also, if you use Amazon Payment, it could take up to 4 weeks before you see your money.

Samplicious surveys

December 5, 2016 by Jill from United States

I didn't really enjoy this panel. Most, if not all, of the surveys were through samplicious and I never have any luck with them. The cash out minimum is low and they do pay.

Not impressed, started well but ...

September 8, 2016 by Leo from United Kingdom

I'm done with this company, despite their nice Speaker answering questions here on the Survey Police blog, hence 1 entire star!

Surveys don't have a ref.no and when they are rewarded weeks later (as some say at the end) you are not sure which entry it is, and with Cint "Corrections", you really don't know where you stand after having waited that long.
And I'm tired to chasing up missing incentives! Or to keep a mile long log!
A survey reference and a better survey statement would save respondents time!

Do not believe what they say that "most rewards vary from £0.40 up to £10", in 2 years once had £2.08 but nothing bigger, a few times just over £1, the majority £0.16 £0.24 ... then £0.32 then £0.40 or just over.

I also had enough of their misleading survey timing (2 min survey that clearly last 8, or 5 min that clearly was meant to last 15...).

Paypal fees... Another way to pay less respondents, do Crowdology employees pay a fee when they get their wages? They/Cint just pass on the fees to us!
First I clarified this point with Paypal, it is the company choice; Second, other companies do not pass this fee to respondents when you get your paypal payment, so it is possible.
But Amazon reward takes 1 month!?! It is a e-code!! If other companies can deliver it almost instantaneously, why can't they?

Long screenings and third parties surveys (that all seem collecting info before disqualifying you) do not give Crowdology ground for a more positive review.

Login issues

August 18, 2016 by Jeff from United States

I've quit Crowdology once and have since come back. At first everything was great but now I'm having the same issues logging in that I had before (which led me to avoiding this site for months). What's the point of doing the surveys I receive through email if I can't log on and check my balance/cash out?

Slow and Steady

August 12, 2016 by Brittany from United States

The surveys come slow, but it's nice you see the dollar amounts. I haven't cashed out yet, I generally cash out at the end of the month (surveys are the only way I can survive during a 10 month unpaid internship where I work too much and my schedule is too variable to get a job. I only gave it lower stars because the surveys are slow.
