I have been a member for almost 2 years (Nov 14, 2009) I’m a health care professional (Nurse) and have earned $405 to date plus $140 that is “processing” right now. So, if you ask me I would definitely say its WORTH IT! Though I cant speak for the non-professional surveys but if you are a health care professional, I would urge you to join!!!!

I have been a member of Brand for about 18 months and I am very impressed with quality of surveys both in format and topics. The rewards are very reasonable with payouts ranging from $2 – $15 and they pay by PayPal. The topics however, are usually intended for very specific fields such as health care which usually limits the invitations you receive and makes qualifying rather difficult. In all may time as a member, I have earned about $25 which is far below some of the other sites. But if your profession is consistent to what they want, you should do very well. I recommend giving Brand a try. If they ever broadened their topics, this site would be one of the best.

I joined Brand Institute last year as a health care professional. I have been quite impressed with the quality of surveys-they are not your “run of the mill” surveys where you just click bubbles. The surveys I complete require application of previous health care knowledge to accurately answer the questions. Some questions will require written answers. The surveys take an average of 30 minutes to complete. I usually get between 2-4 surveys/month at $15 per survey. I have never had an issue with payment. Payment usually takes about 4 weeks via paypal or longer if you wish to get paid by cheque via mail. I applied for the VIP panel but was turned down as I didn’t meet their strict criteria. I would have liked to know exactly why I didn’t qualify rather than just being told I didn’t meet their strict criteria. Overall, this is a great survey panel to join with thought-provoking surveys. Brand Institute also has great technical support and responds quickly to any question I have. They pay well compared to other survey panels and I will definitely continue to be a member of Brand Institute as long as they will have me!

I have been a member of Brand Institute since Feb. 2010. It’s now July of 2011 and I have not qualified for a single Brand Institute survey! Also, my “survey summary” shows that I have been invited to ONLY 11 surveys. Considering that B.I. only normally pays between $2-$5 if you DO qualify and complete the survey, I can’t imagine this would be a big money maker for the average survey taker. I’m guessing that they just have very specific qualifications that I do not match and by looking at the other reviews of Brand Institute here, I’m not alone. Don’t know if anything would change if I were a “VIP Member” but as stated on their page:
“*If you are not a VIP you will still receive invitation through your email.
Entrance into the VIP panel is strict and is NOT guaranteed for all who apply.”
So overall, I can’t say I would recommend this site.

I belong to a few survey sites and this site is pretty straight forward. You get paid for each survey you do, no waiting for a minimum redemption amount. I’ve recently started with this site and it’s great. 6 to 8 surveys a month. The surveys are interesting and pay well for the time it takes to do them. Since most of the surveys are healthcare related it does take time to complete the surveys – 20 to 30 minutes. It helps if you have some medical knowledge since those surveys pay higher amounts. Looking forward to more surveys from BI!

I have been a member of Brand Institute for about 1.5 years now. I get about 1 or 2 requests a month to do surveys. The surveys are not just mindless pointing and clicking they do require careful thought. Each survey takes about 30 minutes to complete; and in return I receive anywhere from $15 to $20. Payment through PayPal or mailed cheque takes anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. As I have completed more surveys properly the number of requests I receive each month has been increasing. I have been frustrated by several other survey sites which in the end simply were a waste of time; as I’m sure many of you can attest to.

I have joined many survey sites and I have been frustrated by many survey sites. I have been a Brand Institute member for 2 years now. Surveys take me about 1/2 hour to complete and in return I am paid $15. Takes about 4 weeks to get paid. I receive 2-3 survey invites per month. Brand Institute does not play games- BEST survey site I have joined to date!

The title pretty much sums it up for me. I joined on November 26th, 2009, and have received only six survey invitations since then, and qualified for none. However, I was always screened out quickly, and the rewards offered on those surveys would have been very fair for those who did qualify. If you sign up for this company, I wouldn’t expect much – but maybe you’ll have better luck than I did and complete the occasional high-paying survey from Brand Institute.

At first I was hesitant on the credibilty of Brand Institute since most surveys online would require you to pay a membership fee.. I received invitations but I just neglected most of them since I thought BI is a scam.. One night, I had the courage to answer their survey which I find really amazing for a study,but still Im not expecting the USD 15 that they are paying for completing surveys.. And voila! After about 4 weeks, I received an email stating that they already credited the USD 15 to my Paypal account..When I checked my Paypal its really there!

So that’s when I started looking for more online paid surveys which I believed getpaidsurveys.com is really at work to help panelist like me..
Nonetheless, I am always waiting for BRAND INSTITUTE’S new survey for me to complete..The best and straightforward! BRAND INSTITUTE!

Joined BI last July 2010 and received my first two invitations this November. I can say this survey site is serious unlike others that pissed me off. I hope to continue doing surveys in the future. I feel great taking part in the health industry….and to be paid for. I do plan to invite other friends in the same field.

I have been a member since November of last year and only received 4 surveys. Although invites are limited, you can be sure you get paid for each accomplished surveys. Becoming a VIP member can limit the surveys you get but they are strict in upgrading status. But there’s no harm in applying anyway.

I have been a member of Brand Institute for a while now. I haven’t been getting many surveys from Brand Institute, the surveys trickle in once a month or even less. I sometimes qualify for some surveys, but not all of them. I haven’t made much money taking their surveys. Sorry, I can’t say anything positive about Brand Institute or their surveys. But before you decide to join Brand Institute, you should read the other comments and make your own decision. Best of Luck!!

I have been a member for at least a few months and have yet to qualify for a survey. Maybe other people have had better luck but I am close to just quitting the site as it seems to be a waste of time.

I’ve been a member of the BI for about 4-5 years, but as a non-American have only received some 3-4 surveys overall for about $10-15 each. They do pay, but it can take up to 6 months to receive payment. Maybe becoming a VIP member would help.
