KnowledgePanel has surveys for you to take and you earn points. You can spend points on many different things, but I have been told the Premiere Movie Reward is the most popular item. Over a month ago these movie rewards were "out of stock" and I inquired about the reason. The explanation was unsatisfactory.

Picture this: take surveys online, receive points, spend points. All digital. The most popular thing available is the movie reward, which is a code that is accepted by a rewards part of Fandango. Most people are probably unaware about this part of Fandango. You receive a certificate for a theater (that needs to be a participant of the rewards program) that is worth $12. You may need to pay extra, or the certificate can cover the whole ticket, depending on where you live and what movie tickets cost. No change is given. Now, remember all of this is digital. I can partially fathom how something digital can be "out of stock" as the reward codes probably need to be purchased in advance. How long would an average person expect this to take? A month? A week? A day? 15 minutes? Depending on how it is set up, I can fathom maybe 5 to 10 minutes to purchase reward codes in bulk. Since the movie tickets are the most popular, you would think they would buy as many as possible to avoid angering people that take time to fill out the surveys. If you've read this far this is obviously not the case. Today marks the second time they are "out of stock" of something completely digital, as far as my personal redeeming of points. At one point it took at least a month to get something completely digital back "in stock." If you don't care about movies or just want a check that takes a ridiculous amount of time to arrive -- and considering the year is 2017, that is also mind-numbingly stupid -- then go for it. If you like being aggravated many times, tread lightly and expect nothing.

I was a member of KP for many years. Over time the surveys became more time consuming making the earnings per hour less and less. Also the contest known as the "Prize Wheel" is misleading in my opinion. It is an additional reward for special surveys and the wheel appears to have 4 winning slots out of 16. Not bad odds. The truth is in 8 years I never won nor have other members I have talked to or seen on the web. The odds are actually more in the thousand to one range-which is not made clear- so not much of a reward; Kind of like offering the kid who cuts your grass extra money to also cut your neighbors by letting him guess what card you will pull out of a deck of cards after he's done. They also encourage you to play again after you lose. Don't.
You must do 25 surveys or thereabouts to get any cash ( $25 checks only) and the under $25 gifts are very minimal. All in all not a bad company just misleading and disappointing sometimes if you are not paying attention.

There is something very wrong with their sign-in page. I tried same password multiple times and sometimes it takes it and sometimes it doesn't. When it does take it, it makes you play annoying 4-5 round game with "identify all objects of this type in pictures" except it refreshes and you have to keep playing. And eventually when you think you are done, it just kicks you back to first password page. I got locked out eventually. Just a waste of time and aggravation.

They will tell you they have surveys that take forever and pay nothing. They never compensate you right for surveys and ask you to submit all your documentation when questioned. Waste of time!
