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!

THEY DO NOT PAY YOU. I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES TO CONTACT THEM.,BUT I AM UNABLE TO AS THEY DO NOT RESPOND. THEY DON'T PAY YOU FOR THE SURVEYS,
THEY DON'T RESPOND TO EMAILS. Thank you Emma from England I used the address you suggested we use to ask for our money owing to us from Hiving which is -request@hiving.
I now have the money they owe me which I asked for in November last year and March this year and did not receive until I used the address you suggested.

I have spent about a year on Hiving completing surveys that match my profile and finally, about a week ago, I made up the 4,000 points needed to convert to cash in my PayPal account. I made the conversion and the points were deducted but as yet, my PayPal account hasn't been credited with anything. I contacted the Hiving support desk and so far have received no answer. There is also nothing within the FAQs to indicate how long such a transaction should take to be completed. Have I wasted hours of my time answering survey questions for an online platform that's been making money off that market research for no personal gain at all? Perhaps it's too early to tell. But this much is for sure: Nobody there seems to be in a hurry to set my mind at ease. I understand that it's an international platform and the admin people may be swamped, so I might just be impatient. Still, how complicated could it be? Surely the process is automated. I'll just have to keep waiting with fingers and toes crossed. MOBROG paid out immediately. If that's anything to go by, then I'd have to suggest that there might just be something fishy about Hiving.

I have been a member of hiving for almost a year now and everything has been okay until now. It took awhile to reach the minimum 4000 points but when I did, I redeemed them and usually had payment £4 into paypal within a month. I reached 4000 points at the beginning of July and redeemed them, as of today 15th Aug, still not received. Sent a message on 5th Aug which has not been replied to and now there is no longer any way to send a message!! Also the last few surveys I did, I completed but did not get the points I was supposed to get for them.
(I have since given up as I don't want to waste my time) Would like to know what is up if anyone has any idea!

Hiving is a disappointing site, I feel like it's hard to keep track on the site if you qualified or didn't qualify, how much you earned and it seems every time you login the points balance is different.

Not many surveys, rarely in the target, incentives are just fine, otherwise nice panel.
