Survey Taking Experience

Survey Lengths and Frequency

Most online surveys take approximately 12-15 minutes to complete and are straightforward to answer. Surveys that are more complicated or are longer will typically offer more points for completion. You will typically receive somewhere around 2 survey invitations per week.

Earn Reward Points for Each Survey You Complete

For every online survey you complete, you will earn between 500-5000 points. (500 points = 50Rs in India), depending on the survey's length and complexity.

Point Values

500 points equals approximately RS 50, so 3000 points (the minimum amount required in order to cash out) equals Rs 300. In countries outside India, 3000 points equals roughly $6.50 AUD, 60 Rand, 200 Philippine Pesos, etc.

More Ways to Earn Points

If you get disqualified or screened-out of a survey, you will automatically be credited 20 points to your account, just for trying. You'll also have opportunities to earn points through participation in discussion threads, or updating your profile.

Not worth my time

December 20, 2016 by Susan from Australia

I would not recommend The Panel Station. I have just received my first reward, a PayPal deposit of $US5.50. Until the money was deposited, I had no idea of the amount of the reward; the Panel Station site only stated that I had redeemed 3,000 points and at the time of redemption (September 2015), the FAQ section of the site wasn't working. A payment of $US5.50 is comparatively very low for the number of surveys I completed — on other sites I would have received about $10.

Also, many of the surveys were difficult to complete because they appeared to be poor English translations from another language.

User friendly

They remain the very best with regards to interaction with customers.

More trouble than they are worth

August 23, 2016 by Matthew from New Zealand

UPDATE: They finally paid me the outstanding balance so I have given then a couple of extra stars.

The title says it all really.

I have been a member for about 6 months and have only claimed 10USD to date. It started ok but then when I neared the 3000 points needed to redeem I received fewer and fewer emails. When I did there was a 90% chance I would be screened out within the first few questions or there would be an error and it would be cancelled. The worst is when you fully complete a long survey and then you are screened out. Tough luck, no soup for you.

So the final straw was a few weeks ago when I decided that TPS were not worth my time. I went claim my final reward and then a week later my account was terminated out of the blue.

This was irritating so I made an appeal where all I get are cut and paste responses every... single... time. Trying to talk to an actual human being is impossible. The result of this is they refuse to reinstate my account or pay me what I am owed. I refute their claims and all I get is the very same cut and paste response.

Forget these clowns. They will cheat you and then stick their fingers in their ears. Completely unreasonable.

I have had much success with Opinion World and Valued Opinions. Sure they may not be perfect but a human being will read your email and try to help if there is an issue. They at least can be reasoned with, The Panel Station cannot.
