What Form does Payment Take?

Incentives will be awarded for each of the surveys you take and these will take a few different forms. A cash reward is the usual method of incentive, but some panels use a points system whereby you earn a certain number of points - the number of points are often determined by the length of the survey and, in some cases, there may be a perceived level of difficulty with each survey which could increase or decrease the reward offered as necessary.

When you reach a certain level of points you can convert them into cash or vouchers. There is usually an impressive list of retailers with whom you can redeem your rewards - great for earning some extra income for those expensive times of the year.

For panels paying in cash, a minimum threshold is required before being eligible for 'cashing-out'. Methods of payment vary with each panel: Paypal or BACS is often the most common, with some panels preferring to reward by cheque.
