KEY FEATURES:

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!

Firstly the payouts are low - it takes about 8 months to earn £4!! Secondly when you cannot deactivate your account yourself, you have to ask them to do it and when I did, they told me not to leave and then refused to delete my account. They are still sending me surveys despite the fact that i have asked them three times not to delete my account. They simply ignore my messages now. Awful company who breach your privacy. DO NOT USE.

I really do not like this company at all.
1) They do not credit your points correctly and the points you accumulate remain as pending for many, many months before they add them
2) It takes over 6 months to gain the sum total of £4. We are being ripped off as many other commentators below have stated
3) I have asked on two occasions for them to close my account. They will not do so and still send me surveys. I feel as if I am being forced to stay with a survey company I have no interest in. I am now going to have to block their email addresses so I no longer receive their emails given they have ignored my request!
This is the only survey company I have ever tried to leave which goes to show how bad they are.

My advice is not to join them - They are the only people benefiting from your hard work!

It takes ages to get up to 4000 points to be able to redeem which I didn't realise is only £4, thats why I just recently unsubscribed. I was on Hiving for about 9 months and I only got to 2500 points, so it could take over a year to get to 4000 which is poor.

I have twice as many 'pending' points than I have in available points, so I am darned if I am doing any more surveys until I get paid for what I have done. It's the only survey company I know of that has a pending system which is dishonest to say the least.

pages full of how great it is but it is not!
Never any surveys, have had ONE in TWO months for which points are STILL 'pending'.
Complete waste of time & effort.
My advice? Do not bother.
