My First Survey Panel
This panel is a really great one to be a part of. I may only get 1 or 2 surveys a month and yes, 5000points = $5 isn’t the best ratio but the surveys are neat, clean and to the point – not repetitive!, the site itself is well kept and you get paid well for product testing! Surveys range from 100 – 1000 points and even if you don’t qualify ( which isn’t often) you still are awarded 50 points! The only glitch I have enountered with this panel is I have one survey that is completed but is still pending. Customer service is pretty good. I didn’t get a response to my glitch inquiry immediately, but they did address my issue as much as they could at this point in time. I haven’t cashed out my points yet but they send out checks instead of using PayPal. Overall, I would recommend joining! It doesn’t take long to see your points grow!
Values Your Time
I have only been part of this panel for about two months and have only answered a few surveys and qualified for almost every one. Do date I have redeemed $20 for 6 surveys. The e-mail invitations do not come very often maybe once a week but with the high completion rate I prefer that than continually trying to qualify like on other sites.
Synovate worth the time
I have been a member of Synovate for about 6 months and I have made about $20. I have requested a check twice and they arrived in about 4 weeks each time which from my experience with survey sites is about average. What I like about Synovate is the surveys in terms of length, topics, and format. The time in takes to complete one is always very reasonable and topics usually are relevant enough to make them fun to complete. The format is always their own design (no OTX, etc) which is very clean and crisp. The frequency of surveys is the one downside of Synovate as I usually receive 1 or 2 per week. However, I qualify for them at a much higher rate then most sites. Synovate will not generate you as much money as other sites but it is certainly worth the time to join.
A good company to add to your survey arsenal.
For those who are attempting to make a fair bit of change doing surveys, this company is a good one to add to your list of 15-20 companies to subscribe to. While the survey invitations aren’t as frequent as some of the larger, better known panels, Synovate still sends out a handful of surveys each month, and they do a great job of targeting surveys to their consumers to ensure that you qualify for a good percentage of them.
I sometimes have login issues with Synovate, but they usually don’t persist more than a few minutes (and once signed in I’ve never been logged out while taking surveys, so that’s not been a concern). Synovate pays by check, and takes a bit longer to process payment requests than others, but makes up for it by a quick mailing once the check request is approved.
Again, while you won’t make a huge amount of money from this one panel alone, it’s a great company to add to your handful of small but worthwhile panels!
Top 20 Survey Site!
I have earned $120 with Global Opinion Panel/Synovate since May 2008. Global Opinions Panel is a Top 20 panel that everyone should be a member of. They send out infrequent surveys worth from 100 to 6500 points, but they often send products for testing, which you get to keep. Most surveys are less than 20 minutes long and you can stop in the middle of a survey and return at a later time, picking up right where you left off.
I really like the fact that Synovate has a ‘Completed Surveys’ section where you can check on every survey that you have attempted or completed along with cash outs. They credit you with 50 points for every attempt and the minimum cash out threshold is 5000 points ($5), which is a simple conversion rate to remember. Rewards arrive via check in about six weeks to eight weeks.
When you register with Synovate Global Opinion Panels, you will be entered into our Monthly Sign-up Sweepstakes with over 200 winners monthly: 1 prize of $1,000, 10 prizes of $100, 15 prizes of $50, 30 prizes of $25 and 150 prizes of $10. I haven’t won anything from this sweepstakes yet!
You can e-mail GOP at marie@synovate.net with any questions or problems and they usually respond quickly and resolve problems in a reasonable amount of time.
The best
I have been a member of Synovate/Global Opinion Panel for over 2 years. Their surveys questions are well written and easy to answer. In addition to answering surveys from Synovate, they’ll sent products to you to evaluate. Synovate survey questions take between 10-20 minutes to answer. The incentives are reasonable as well 5,000 pts = $5.00 which you can request a check and will be mailed out to you. I would recommend Synovate/Global Opinion Panel to anyone who wants to have an enjoyable survey experience.
