Survey Taking Experience

Survey Lengths and Frequency

Most online surveys take approximately 12-15 minutes to complete and are straightforward to answer. Surveys that are more complicated or are longer will typically offer more points for completion. You will typically receive somewhere around 2 survey invitations per week.

Earn Reward Points for Each Survey You Complete

For every online survey you complete, you will earn between 500-5000 points. (500 points = 50Rs in India), depending on the survey's length and complexity.

Point Values

500 points equals approximately RS 50, so 3000 points (the minimum amount required in order to cash out) equals Rs 300. In countries outside India, 3000 points equals roughly $6.50 AUD, 60 Rand, 200 Philippine Pesos, etc.

More Ways to Earn Points

If you get disqualified or screened-out of a survey, you will automatically be credited 20 points to your account, just for trying. You'll also have opportunities to earn points through participation in discussion threads, or updating your profile.

Incompetent

March 15, 2014 by Natasha from South Africa

I used to do many surveys for The Panel Station, they used to send many surveys (at least once a week) and the minimum payout was attainable.

I had allowed my points to accumulate even after I had reached minimum redemption, and didn't cause a fuss when they changed their site and my points somehow went down. However, when I wanted to cash out about half my points (5000) for a kalahari voucher, I never received it. Bear in mind I'd been completing surveys with them for at least a year when I requested the voucher.

I had seen people on their facebook page saying they take about a month or so to pay out, so I waited. I had cashed out in July 2013, and at the end of September 2013 I was sick of waiting, so I wrote out a support ticket asking them why I still hadn't received it. They replied a week or two later, saying they'd sort out the issue within a week - I heard nothing further from them.

Last month I again sent them an email asking for some correspondence in regard to the matter, to which they said that they would update me in a week. It has been over 2 weeks and I'm still waiting.

I have done many surveys for them and when I wanted to cash out for a promised reward, they seem to be uninterested. Well, I haven't done surveys for them since the end of August 2013. I enjoy doing surveys, but on principle, this is just unacceptable when they promise a reward and don't deliver on it.

panel station poor service

I have received no response from the panel station. I spent hours completing the surveys and when wanting to redeem my points, you don't hear from them. They require you to verify by entering your cell number after which they send you a pin via sms, however, you never receive the sms.

What's worse, is that they don't respond to your e-mails. My friend tells me she's been barred from the website after she complained (and not receiving any voucher)
