Our review

The bottom line

Branded Surveys pays in points that can be converted into cash, Amazon gift cards or Target gift cards. To cash out to PayPal you need a minimum of 500 points, which the company says equals $5. That is a low bar, but its page does not say how many points a typical survey pays.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

It suits students who want to reach a first payout quickly. Skip it if you need to know the minimum age or whether your country is covered before you sign up, because the page we read does not say.

How it works

You complete surveys and earn points. When you reach the minimum you redeem them for the reward you choose.

How you get paid

PayPal cash needs at least 500 points, equal to $5. Branded Surveys says it takes about one to three business days for the money to deposit into your account. It also lists a $5 gift card as an option.

What to watch

The page does not state fees, the minimum age or the list of eligible countries. Check these before you spend time on surveys.

Student notes

Because the PayPal minimum is only $5, you can test the cash-out process early and judge how it works before putting in more time.

Our hands-on test

Branded Surveys rewards per task are very low. You can take up to 7 days to make 1000 points and it is very time consuming. You can be disqualify at the end of the survey.
