KEY FEATURES:

The Hiving is panel that was founded in 2007 by a French market research company to help brands better understand their audience. Since then, the company has grown to have a presence in 20 countries around the globe. "Hiving" refers to the term of "bringing a focus back to life at home, while still keeping open and strong communication with the outside world".

Survey Details

As a member of The Hiving, you will generally be sent 1-4 surveys per month, but it depends on your demographic. Each survey usually takes between 5 and 20 minutes to complete.

Collect "Hiving Points"

Each time you complete a survey, you will be rewarded with "Hiving Points". The amount of points collected depends on the complexity and length of the survey. Once you finish a survey, don't panic if your points don't show up in your account right away, as it can take up to 30 days. This is because the survey must be full before it can be closed.

Refer a Friend!

You can also earn points by introducing your friends to Hiving. Each time a member that you invited to join completes a survey, you will receive a percentage of the points allocated to that survey, without reducing the amount of points they receive themselves. There is no limit to the amount of people you can invite!

Hiving Point Conversions

In order to redeem for rewards, you must accumulate 4000 Hiving Points. Here are some quick facts about Hiving Points:

• Hiving Points don't expire
• You can exchange your Points for cash once you have collected at least 4000 Points
• Cash exchanges are made in stages of 4000 (4000 ($4), 8000 ($8) or 12000 ($12) Points)
• 1000 Points = $1.00
• The Points System is susceptible to change but any changes will not affect the value of the Points you currently have

Reward Options

There are three different options that points can be spent on: Redeem for cash via PayPal, request an Amazon e-voucher or donate your points towards a charitable cause!

I keep receiving survey invites, I complete the whole survey and when I click the submit button I get error message every time. I have tried to contact Hiving on several occasions but get no response to my emails. I never used to have any problems - surveys were always paid and they were frequent. Really peeved now as I have given up a lot of time to complete surveys only to not be compensated for this

I do not trust this company any more. Can't get in touch with them although they send surveys to me regularly but never pay up.

They used to be pretty good but they seem to have gone very bad... no longer paying

September 8, 2017 by Karen from United Kingdom

I am in exactly the same position as the previous reviewer - they used to pay out, albeit after a time, but they always responded immediately to chase-ups and apologised profusely for delays. I last redeemed on 19th July, chased on 11th and 23rd August, but have heard nothing. Meanwhile, they keep sending multiple surveys a day, which I am deleting, as I'm not prepared to do them for no payment. On the last few redemptions there has been a disclaimer that Paypal payments are currently taking longer than usual, which indicates to me that they have no money. Why else would a Paypal payment take weeks/months to effect? Hiving has become a bargepole panel.

I have been a member of hiving for almost a year now and everything has been okay until now. It took awhile to reach the minimum 4000 points but when I did, I redeemed them and usually had payment £4 into paypal within a month. I reached 4000 points at the beginning of July and redeemed them, as of today 15th Aug, still not received. Sent a message on 5th Aug which has not been replied to and now there is no longer any way to send a message!! Also the last few surveys I did, I completed but did not get the points I was supposed to get for them.
(I have since given up as I don't want to waste my time) Would like to know what is up if anyone has any idea!
