Consumer-Opinion

The Hiving is panel that was founded in 2007 by a French market research company to help brands better understand their audience. Since then, the company has grown to have a presence in 20 countries around the globe. "Hiving" refers to the term of "bringing a focus back to life at home, while still keeping open and strong communication with the outside world".

Survey Details

As a member of The Hiving, you will generally be sent 1-4 surveys per month, but it depends on your demographic. Each survey usually takes between 5 and 20 minutes to complete.

Collect "Hiving Points"

Each time you complete a survey, you will be rewarded with "Hiving Points". The amount of points collected depends on the complexity and length of the survey. Once you finish a survey, don't panic if your points don't show up in your account right away, as it can take up to 30 days. This is because the survey must be full before it can be closed.

Refer a Friend!

You can also earn points by introducing your friends to Hiving. Each time a member that you invited to join completes a survey, you will receive a percentage of the points allocated to that survey, without reducing the amount of points they receive themselves. There is no limit to the amount of people you can invite!

Hiving Point Conversions

In order to redeem for rewards, you must accumulate 4000 Hiving Points. Here are some quick facts about Hiving Points:

  • Hiving Points don't expire
  • You can exchange your Points for cash once you have collected at least 4000 Points
  • Cash exchanges are made in stages of 4000 (4000 ($4), 8000 ($8) or 12000 ($12) Points)
  • 1000 Points = $1.00
  • The Points System is susceptible to change but any changes will not affect the value of the Points you currently have

Reward Options

There are three different options that points can be spent on: Redeem for cash via PayPal, request an Amazon e-voucher or donate your points towards a charitable cause!

Non payment of Hiving pay pal rewards

April 2, 2018 by david from United Kingdom

I also have complained that PayPal payments have failed to arrive. Their site seems to ignore you every time. No sign of Amazon rewards being offered. I despair.

No pay out

March 28, 2018 by Margaret from United Kingdom

They have owed me money since November 2017 and will not pay out. Disgraceful.

I got my payment today

March 12, 2018 by gemma from United Kingdom

To everyone who is still waiting for your Hiving survey payments and getting no reply. I also have waited 10 months for my money. I found this Hiving email address today: [email protected]

Tell them what they owe you and you should get your money back too. Good Luck

Survey Errors Every Time

February 20, 2018 by Julia from United Kingdom

I keep receiving survey invites, I complete the whole survey and when I click the submit button I get error message every time. I have tried to contact Hiving on several occasions but get no response to my emails. I never used to have any problems - surveys were always paid and they were frequent. Really peeved now as I have given up a lot of time to complete surveys only to not be compensated for this
