REDEEMING REWARDS

checkmark No points system
Accrue a balance of $8.00 (or 4 GBP) in your account, receive a PayPal payment within 48 hours of request and sometimes even instantly. $10 USD (£5) minimum account balance required for Amazon vouchers.

Register for Paid Surveys and Cash Out With PayPal or Amazon

Crowdology offers cash for each survey completed. 5 minute surveys pay $0.50 and after a balance of $8.00 (or £4 in the UK) is accrued in your account, you can withdraw your earnings to your PayPal account. Alternatively, choose to receive an Amazon voucher. Surveys pay anywhere from $0.40 - $10 each.

Types of Surveys Offered

Online surveys on everyday topics, brand-name household products and current issues. Crowdology stresses that their surveys are not boring!

Survey Lengths

The surveys themselves are quite short, ranging from 2 to 20 minutes in length and award cash upon successful completion - there are no complex points systems to worry about as cash is awarded each time a survey is finished.

Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes are held sporadically and usually upon registering to the Crowdology panel. You can also be entered into sweepstakes by sharing Crowdology with your friends via email invite.

Some of the prizes Crowdology members have won include Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Headphones, Spotify Premium Subscriptions and ASOS Vouchers, just to name a few.

Redemption Process

In order to withdraw from your account, you will need to have at least $8.00 in your Crowdology account (or £4 in the UK) as well as a PayPal account to transfer your Crowdology funds to. This company does not pay out rewards via check. The time between the request and the balance landing in your PayPal account is on average 48 hours. Also, if you use Amazon Payment, it could take up to 4 weeks before you see your money.

Seems to be slipping

January 31, 2014 by Robert from United Kingdom

Things started off ok and cashed out a couple of times, but not qualified for a survey in 3 months. Too many screen outs and also a few issues with surveys not working correctly.

Update:

Things still getting worse, even more screen outs and when clicking a survey I keep getting directed to a different survey. revised my score accordingly.

NOT MANY SURVEYS

February 9, 2021 by Chris from United Kingdom

Seem ok pay is ok and they are trustworthy but I hardly receive any surveys so I am not sure its worth the effort.

Constantly screened out

May 11, 2020 by Lee from United Kingdom

I've started to use the site less and less for this reason. Can easily spend 10 minutes on answering questions, only for that effort to go down the drain and not get rewarded at all for your time.

Don't waste your time

December 1, 2018 by Jessica from United States

After being a member for a while, I finally earned enough to cash out. When I cashed out my account was immediately banned.

Not many surveys, clunky site

May 5, 2017 by Adam from United States

Well... I've been getting slightly more surveys from them the past month, so yay, I guess? Except I haven't qualified for a single one of them. Looks like I received 3 surveys so far in October, none of which I qualified for. I did qualify for one survey at the beginning of September, which paid 50 cents. Not remotely impressed with how much this site is making me: I get more in an average week with OO than I've made in 3 months with crowdology.

Upside, at least it lets you cash out *any* amount that's at least 8$, so you can wait for a few more surveys and get those before cashing out. Much better than sites that only let you cash out *exactly* n dollars and anything above that, you have to wait until the next time you hit the threshold.

Also, their website is super clunky, which isn't the worst thing if the payout was better, but it definitely doesn't give the greatest impression (for instance - there is no indication that you're logged in once you are; you just have a frame with your account info, but it still says "log in" above it, and if you visit any page that doesn't require you to be logged in, it logs you out. What? Also, to cash out, you get there through the Profile page. What?, he said again.)
