KEY FEATURES:

GfK is one of the world’s largest market research companies, spanning over 57 countries and has been conducting surveys for over 70 years!

GfK MediaView Panel

The Gfk MediaView panel lets its members share their opinion on what they watch on the television and hear on the radio. You could have an influence on what shows are available in your country and change the future of broadcasting!

Take Daily Surveys

Every day there are surveys available about TV and Radio related subjects asking you about your viewing and listening habits. There are no survey screen outs. Each time you complete a survey, you will receive "tickets". Once you have accumulated 10 tickets, you will receive an entry into a prize draw for cash, vouchers, experiences and gadgets. Each days' surveys are available between the hours of 6AM and 12AM only.

How Does it Work?

Every day, you can rate the television programs you watched the day before, giving a simple rating score (1-10) to the programs you watched for at least 5 minutes.

Get Rewards

For your participation, you have the chance to win prizes including cash, exclusive experiences, and e-vouchers from retailers such as Amazon, Tesco, Cineworld and more. There are weekly draws to participate in as well.

The number of surveys you complete each week determines which of the weekly prize draw tiers you will be entered into at the end of the week:>

• 1-2 surveys = Bronze
• 3-4 surveys = Silver
• 5-7 surveys = Gold

Each survey you complete also earns you points, which can be spent towards a catalogue of great prizes in the points prize draw:

• Each TV survey = 200 points
• Each Radio survey = 100 points
• Per “5 minutes” of a survey = 500 points

Eligibility: Residents of the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man.

I've been a member of the Gfk MediaView for a number of years now but since they changed the site to the new format which includes the chance to either save your points or to spend them on the prize of your choice, it's gone downhill markedly. Though many may view the breadth of choice as a good thing, you actually have less chance of winning in that it seems that you can now go for months on end without receiving anything meaningful (remember this is for surveys that are completed EVERY SINGLE DAY).

They sometimes have the odd point bonus and the odd £5 for completing the Media Usage Survey, but it's blatantly obvious that they throw these at you at a time when you've just about had enough (meaning when they notice when you begin to stop completing the daily television and radio surveys). It's pathetic really. Having completed their daily usage surveys for years on end and having nothing meaningful to my name to show for it, I really can't recommend this site. Just beware of the psychology behind their methods, because they'll reel you back in for more experiences that benefit only them!

An example is when during one of their Media Usage Surveys they had a trick question in which they stated that if you click this option then you are not interested in receiving the £5 incentive at the end of it, yet they nevertheless would continue on with the survey and indeed would continue to ask you to complete the surveys for the rest of the week. I once accidentally pressed this option (bearing in mind it's impossible to return to the previous questions), and though they'd continue to send out the surveys to me, I was never credited because of that one error.

They are openly taking advantage of people's time. Along the years, on and off, I won a few vouchers (manly £2), if you were filling it every day you will find that you're doing it for free. I keep my profile active in case they have a real paid survey/TV study (rarely though).

Since they've introduced 'big prizes' I never won, not even the £2, and the points required for entering these 'big prize's does not follow any logic, eg. this is just an example but gives the idea: 2000 points for Amazon £80 but then also 1500 points for £800.
So every time' new prizes' are added/set I feel a loss of both my points, because there is not criteria, and time, because I never won anything anyway since their 'new prizes' system.

I always had c-s replies for both, my feedback/critics and missing points, hence the full star.
Nevertheless, I feel they're just having an income on the expenses of members' time.

I have emailed GFK on several occasions regarding a problem about a user name for a GFK download to record my online activity for 2 months now I am at the final stage where I need to take a final survey for £4 so basically I have lost £20 because the so called help desk will not reply to my request.

Always happy to complete my gfk reviews (did it for years) most important to me was giving my opinion on the live tv I was watching, I didn't watch much if any streaming, obviously I tended to watch similar programs, obviously had my favorites, mainly bbc etc, then just the other month they cancelled my membership giving quality issues as the reason..........NO !! the reason is they seem not to like you watching the same thing !!! sad needless to say that a so called top review site does not carry out correct and reasonable quality control !!
gfk do appalling damage to GOOD review sites by being so bad....

I stuck it out with them for about a year, Religiously inputting my tv and radio habits daily. In the whole year I was with them I only ever got £3. Absolute waste of time.
