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.

Not For Me

January 18, 2015 by Don from United States

After joining this site, I filled out my entire profile, all questions, hoping that would get some surveys to me. I did actually get invites to a few, probably 8. I successfully made it through 2 of those, and only one added money to my account. The others screened my out after filling out quite a bit of the survey. In my opinion, when surveys take a lot of information from you and then screen you out, they are farming, and I will not put up with that, so I closed my account. They should know ahead of time, by your profile if you qualify for a survey.

Waste of time, poor survey company

December 29, 2013 by Therese from United States

I joined last week. Received two survey invitations and both times I received the following message when I clicked on the link in the email, "We are sorry to inform you that you have not qualified for this survey. There are many reasons why people don't qualify, which include, but may not be limited to, not fitting the screening criteria, not providing quality responses or other reasons defined by our end client." And that is the message I received without even being asked any questions! Doesn't make sense.

If I get one more like that, I'm going to delete my account. Just wished I hadn't spent more than a half hour filling out all the profiles.

12/29/13: Well I ended up cancelling my account because out of the four survey invitations offered me since joining, three had the following message, "We are sorry to inform you that you have not qualified for this survey. There are many reasons why people don't qualify, which include, but may not be limited to, not fitting the screening criteria, not providing quality responses or other reasons defined by our end client".

Payment

November 2, 2023 by Jilly from United Kingdom

I have requested my payment numerous times since the 17th October. Have Crowdology gone bust or are they using the surveys we complete and just not paying up.

Shoddy algorithms

September 1, 2023 by Kathy from United Kingdom

Only signed up for this site because of MoneySavingExpert site (aka Martin Lewis). I've emailed them to remove this site from their 'best survey' page. Stay away from this place. Their algorithms for identifying 'fraud' dont work. I've constantly struggled to get the little money I've managed to earn. It's takes weeks/months to get a few £££ out of them There's many other sites that pay much better and payout almost immediately. Don't get sucked into this place and waste your time.

Sent 5 emails 16 Feb got back 4 REF NOs but they were no good, still waiting for a reply to find where my money has gone.
