2. Incentivization
How are Points Awarded?
- Points are awarded for only a complete survey and
after we run data verification to check the quality of
responses provided. - Please note that this might take time and
sometimes we must wait until the whole survey is
closed to facilitate this. - We encourage that the responses provided are
honest and open to avoid denial of points as a
result of bad data. - The amount of points awarded can vary among
surveys. We will always tell you how much you will
get, before you take part in the surveys. - Participation is always voluntary and consensual.
Points are not awarded for the below
scenarios:
- Screen outs- Surveys have a respondent
qualification criterion of which is normally
determined by the first few questions you respond
to. If you are disqualified at this stage, you will not
be awarded. We however will try as much as
possible to send to you surveys that we feel you
qualify for to avoid these cases. - Straight lining- When your responses are
predictable to a point that we can tell you are not
reading the questions properly; you will not be
awarded even if you get to the end of the survey.
Your interview will be terminated and you will be
informed as this undermines data quality. In the
long run if this is repeated, you will be expelled
from our panel for good. - Speeding- Points are not awarded for respondents
who speed through a survey. We encourage you to
take your time and read through the questions to
get a proper understanding so as to provide the
required responses. Like straight-lining, the
interview is deleted even if you get to the end and
you will receive a warning. If this persists you are
expelled from the panel as well. - Double participation- You can only participate once
in a survey, attempts to participate multiple times
will lead to an automatic disqualification. - Redundant answers- Points will not be award for
what will be considered redundant responses for
open ended questions
How do I Redeem my points?
- The minimum redeemable points are 100. You can
always redeem at your discretion aer hitting the
threshold and this will be sent to you in form of
airtime within 24 hours of initiating the process. - Log into your account and click on the redeem
points burton to initiate the process. Enter the
number of points you want to redeem and submit.
We will take it from this point - Remember 100 points= 1 USD.
- The disbursements are sent via your dully
registered phone number.
Why did I not get my points, despite
completing the survey?
- It can sometimes take up to several days for earned
points to show in your account. This is because
points are awarded aer a study has been oicially
closed. Please bear with us as we undergo the
process of awarding. - Feel free to send us an email or chat with us, if you
still haven’t received any earned points aer 7 days.

How ofen will I be invited to online-surveys?
- As mentioned earlier, we will only invite you for
surveys you qualify for when they are available,
therefore we cannot tell how many invitations you
will receive. - The number of invitations depends greatly on the
country that you live in – surveys are conducted
more frequently in some countries than in others. - Participants are also selected randomly, or there
may be a pre-selection depending on age, gender,
level of education, profession, place of residence,
etc. This depends on the target group requirements
set by our clients. - Updating your profile frequently will allow us to
have a better segmentation of our database thus
we can easily select you for surveys you will qualify.
How do I make sure that your invites do not
end up in my spam box?
- If our survey invitations end up in your spam folder,
you can adjust your mail settings by adding our mail
address to your address book.
What happens with my data and my
responses to the surveys I participate in?
- The details you provided when registering and
when updating your profile are used for the sole
purpose of selecting participants for surveys. - Responses from surveys cannot be traced back to
you as an individual. All data is pooled for analysis.
How come I am getting none or very few
invitations to surveys?
- Surveys require specific criteria of members, over
and above country of residence. Therefore, if you
meet this criterion be sure we will invite you. - If you don’t rest assured there will be other surveys
in the near future in which you can still participate. - We recommend that you fully complete your profile
and to always keep your details up to date. This will
allow us to ensure that you are invited to surveys
more selectively.
Why is the invitation link to the survey not
working?
- Deactivate your pop-up blocker
- Use Chrome or Firefox as a browser
- Avoid double-clicking the link
- In case of doubt, copy the link to your browser
before clicking the “take part” link - Always use the intended device
- Please note that every link can be clicked only once.
As soon as you have clicked a link, the survey is
considered to be started and it cannot be
opened/re-started after the browser window is
closed.
Why am I told that I do not qualify for the
survey?
- Specific questions are used to determine whether a
participant matches the target group. - The survey is terminated early on, if you don’t
match the target group
Why am I being told that the required number
of participants has already been reached,
shortly after starting the survey?
- Once the number of responses we intended to get is
attained, we always close the survey thus trying to
access the survey will prompt this message.
How can I re-start the survey or continue it
after an interruption?
- Each survey link can be clicked only once. For this
reason it is, unfortunately, not possible to take a
break during the survey or to re-start it aer closing
the browser window. - In the case of prolonged inactivity, there may be
short interruptions of the internet connection
leading to the survey being aborted. - For security reasons and due to international
market research guidelines, a survey cannot be
continued and the results cannot be included in the
analysis.
