In November 2017, MintVine rebranded itself as Branded Surveys. The company has been running online surveys since 2012.

Branded Surveys is an online paid surveys site that offers users the opportunity to answer online surveys in exchange for rewards including cash and gift cards.

Over 13 million people in the USA, Canada and UK are members of the site.

Take Surveys, Earn Rewards

Branded Surveys provides its members the opportunity to participate in online surveys on its Go Branded website, in a wide variety of different topics in exchange for rewards. Formerly known as MintVine, in 2017, the panel completely redesigned their website and took on the new name, 'Branded Surveys'. Branded offers its members tons of different rewards options and issues gift cards within 48 hours of transactions being processed.

New Member Bonus

New members of Branded Surveys can get a $1.00 (100 point) joining bonus by simply creating an account and taking the profile survey. After completing the survey, 100 points will be instantly credited to your account. That's a whopping 20% of the points needed for your first cash out!

Registration is quick – use your social account or email to sign up. No promo code is required to take advantage of the bonus.

Earn a Payout in as Little as One Week!

Payouts on Branded Surveys range in value for surveys and can be as high as 300 points. If you are not the best fit for a survey, you will still be rewarded with points for answering even a couple of questions - compensating you for your time and inching you forward to your first payout, be it a cash payment, gift card or other reward.

How to Redeem Points

When you complete a survey, you will be rewarded with points and your survey answers will be sent directly to Branded Survey’s market research clients. Once you have earned a minimum of 500 approved points ($5.00 USD), a redemption button will become active in the "My Points" section of your account, allowing you to cash out your earnings and redeem your points.

Rewards

When you're ready to request a cash out from your Branded Surveys account, click the redemption button and choose from a wide variety of rewards:

• PayPal cash payments
• Bank transfer - USA only
• Amazon gift cards
• Pre-paid virtual credit cards
• Other gift cards including: eBay, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Chipotle, Airbnb, and more!

You can get paid directly to your bank account, allowing you to get your hard earned cash even faster! Upon approval of your withdrawal (1-2 business days), a payout will post to your bank account within 24-48 hours (USA residents only). This withdrawal method was formally known as Branded Pay.

Redemptions take approximately 1-2 business days to process, and all rewards are digital. Gift cards will be issued as e-gift cards, and cash payments will be sent electronically. A valid phone number may be required to verify your identity to cash out your rewards.

Promo Codes

Promo codes on Branded are available for users to input into their member accounts, and will credit accounts with free points. These promo codes are available via special contests and promotions, though they aren't available often.

Survey Lengths

The average survey on the platform takes 11 minutes to complete, but the estimated completion time will always be listed on survey invitations (which are e-mailed, or can also be found listed in your account). Not only can you take interesting surveys, but daily poll opportunities and online focus groups are also offered.

Many surveys, as well as the platform itself, is posted on the gobranded domain name. Go Branded is the same as Branded Surveys - it's simply what the panel uses in their url.

Daily Polls

Log into your account daily to receive 5 points for taking the quick poll available on your Branded Surveys Dashboard. You may complete one poll every 24 hours.

Earn Extra Points

Local Deals are provided by businesses and offer additional opportunities to earn points with Branded Surveys. These opportunities are also listed in your Branded Surveys dashboard. The more points you earn, the more qualified you will be for additional opportunities.

How Much Points are Worth

Branded Surveys uses a very simple points conversion system. 500 points = $5 USD, so 100 points = $1. Therefore, each individual point is worth 1 cent, or $0.01.

If you are located in Canada or the UK, you will receive your rewards in your local currency, converted from USD. For instance, a $10 USD payment issued to a Canadian would be equal to approximately $12.50 CAD. $10 USD issued to a UK resident would equal approximately £8.00.

Branded Elite

Branded Elite is Branded Surveys’ rewards program. There are three levels of membership depending on your monthly survey activity. The badge levels are Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each badge level grants members the opportunity to earn weekly bonus points.

As you take surveys throughout the month, you can advance through Bronze, Silver and Gold badge levels. You must meet the minimum survey requirements each month to keep your badge through the next month.

• Complete 2 surveys per calendar month for Bronze
• Complete 10 surveys per calendar month for Silver
• Complete 25 surveys per calendar month for Gold

Earn Weekly Rewards

As a Branded Elite badge member, you can earn a weekly bonus when you complete 12, 20 or 30 surveys per week (Monday-Sunday). Your bonus is a percentage of your total approved survey points for the week.

• When you complete 12 surveys per week, you can earn a 5% bonus as a Bronze member, a 10% bonus as a Silver member and a 15% bonus as a Gold member.

• When you complete 20 surveys per week, you can earn a 12% bonus as a Silver member and a 17% bonus as a Gold member.

• When you complete 30 surveys per week, you can earn a 14% bonus as a Silver member and a 19% bonus as a Gold member.

Re-qualify to Keep Your Badge Status

To maintain your badge color, members are encouraged to keep participating. Note that badges are subject to change on the first of each month if there was minimal participation for the duration of the month.

Branded Leaderboard

Increase your daily payout by getting on the Leaderboard. The Leaderboard tracks the Daily Top 50, Weekly Top 50 and Monthly Top 20 performers and rewards members for their survey completions.

• Daily Top 50 leaders = 50 points
• Weekly Top 50 leaders = 200 points
• Monthly Top 20 leaders = 300 points

Remain Active to Win Daily, Weekly & Monthly Prizes

Remember that for every survey you complete, you will get submitted into a daily, weekly and monthly random prize drawing. Win up to 50 extra points in a daily drawing, 500 points in the weekly drawing and 1000 points for the monthly drawing. The more you participate, the greater number of entries you will receive for the drawings.

Referral Program

Log in to your account to copy your unique referral link which you can then share with friends and extended family members to increase your account balance. Receive 50 points as a gold or silver badge holder whenever your friends and family reach the silver badge status. Branded also offers an affiliate program for website owners and influencers who are able to drive a large number of sign ups to the site.

Take Surveys from Your Phone

Branded Surveys offers a mobile app that is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, giving both iPhone and Android users the opportunity to take surveys from their phone.

The app functions almost identically to the Branded Surveys website, making it intuitive and easy to use. Receive survey notifications directly onto your phone via push notifications, instead of having to sort through email. When you receive a push notification from the app, simply click the survey alert and you will automatically be brought to the survey start page.

Use the Branded Surveys app just as you would the website - take surveys, check your account balance, and redeem your rewards whenever ready.

Is Branded Surveys Legit?

Branded Surveys is a completely legitimate paid survey site and is not a scam. Although users of the site may have different experiences interacting with the site and taking surveys, the operating company is a credible market research firm that has issued over $34 million dollars in rewards to its 13 million members - confirming that Branded Surveys is legit.

I want to praise Branded Surveys for being a great site. I truly enjoy filling them out and doing it as accurately as I can. The variety of the surveys is very impressive.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I left a really good review yesterday because they were letting me take several surveys which is not like them. I was shocked!
I thought today that it would be the same that I would get more surveys today. Well the joke was on me. I took a very long drawn out survey and did not get paid. What kind of crap is that?! I don't like trying to get a hold of the support. they are very lacking and give excuses why I didn't get paid. I had a feeling that they would do this to me. Take my advice steer clear of this survey site they just don't care and make you feel used.

I attempted to get my pay of 30 dollars on a virtual visa card 10 days ago on my desk top and was unable to get a clear pic of my ca license so their verify company rejected all then I attempted 4 days later on a mobile phone same deal so then i changed to transfer bank because they say gold member get their money right away. Still no money after approval. I'm really not into that kind stuff.

I have been using survey platforms for several weeks now and I have discovered that branded surveys has proven to be one of the top five survey platforms that I use regularly. One of the best features when using the survey platform that I look forward to is the fact that when you complete a certain percentage of surveys you rise up in status level. Starting from bronze, to silver and then up to Gold which is the level that I am currently at now. When you reach the gold status level your payouts are instant! No waiting no delays no game playing etc etc light the majority of the other survey platforms! This is in my opinion one of the best features that Branded surveys offers. The other fact is that this survey platform is very well designed, it is easy to navigate and overall it is in my opinion and excellent survey platform. I would highly recommend branded surveys to anyone who uses survey platforms regularly. The majority of all of the other survey platforms that I have experienced are very aggravating to say the least! Some of them don't even pay a reasonable amount, it's like you're a child playing candyland or something the way that they offer you 12 cents, 19 cents, all and all the way up to say 26 cents which is a large payout according to these Candy Land survey platforms that I have used in the past. Needless to say I don't waste my time with these platforms anymore! It's all a trial and error process. So again I would like to reiterate that branded surveys is among the best of all survey platforms available! Go ahead and check it out and you'll see for yourself what I have mentioned in this review.

Not the biggest payer but the surveys and points are continuous and they have this awards scheme (badges and Branded Elite ranking) which incentivises the experience so that even the lowlier paying surveys are worthwhile. Occasionally however you get bigger payers. Never had too many problems, although occasionally you get booted a bit. Their strength is very much the frequency of surveys. Well done to them and keep up the good work (if they read this).

PS/Update

My account disappeared for reasons unknown - as if it wasn't registered with email - so using 'same' email re-registered (losing points and status - but whatever?). Maybe this was a mistake on my part - I earnestly thought I was helping them out by not recording disappearance and not giving them hassle - but I thought fact I was using EXACT same email (is it not impossible to register multiple accounts with same email?) and that their records should be able to confirm disappearance of original account would prove I am not conning them in any way (I would have presumably used multiple emails if I was conning them?). I explained everything politely with screengrabs of existence of earlier account. Just got a very automated and cold reply confirming my ostracism. Very brutal.

It is what it is! It is a pity they could not address issue through a humane email.
