Consumer-Opinion

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!

Never get paid

August 12, 2017 by Damien from United Kingdom

I earned a payout and redeemed ( 4 GB) but I am still waiting for it almost 3 most after . I tried to contact them and made a claim but never had a reply .

Terrible site

March 27, 2017 by Meagan from Australia

Half the surveys don't work and when they do, they pay so little. When I have encountered errors and emailed support they haven't gotten back to me. Just avoid this site, better ones are out there which pay more.

The worst panel of all

May 17, 2016 by Rick from Philippines

I joined Hiving a few months ago and have redeemed $5 once. The surveys they send me have been broken for weeks now, so I sent them a message and told them so. I waited for a reply and none came, so I sent them another message and ditto!

I attempted to enter a survey today only to find my account has been blocked. No notification and no reason forthcoming from them.

I would strongly advise not joining this panel as they pay the lowest rate and you need 4000 points to redeem which took me ages to get.

Please don't waste your efforts with this scam.

Hard to keep track

May 12, 2016 by Henk from United States

Hiving is a disappointing site, I feel like it's hard to keep track on the site if you qualified or didn't qualify, how much you earned and it seems every time you login the points balance is different.

Ridiculous low points system.

January 6, 2016 by Matt from United Kingdom

I am currently in the process of cancelling my account with this site as the payout is ridiculously low.
