SurveyBods values our members’ opinions, and to show our appreciation, SurveyBods offers incentives in the form of credits called “Points,” which are credited to your Account maintained by Researchbods. Points are redeemable for cash and vouchers as specified and subject to the terms below.
Points will be credited to your Account only through your
participation in Surveys, which include, but are not limited to,
your registration as a panellist, completion of demographic
profiles and completion of qualitative or quantitative marketing
research activities and only in accordance with the specific
incentive offer disclosed for each Survey.
Researchbods is dedicated to providing quality data to our clients.
To ensure this level of quality we undertake quality control checks
on each Survey we provide or host and we expect you to complete all
Surveys honestly and to the best of your ability. Please be aware
that you might not qualify for all Surveys, in which case, the
Survey will close, and you will not receive any Points. The reasons
you might not qualify include but are not limited to:
Your profile not corresponding to our client’s target audience
Discrepancy in logical suite of responses
Untruthful responses or false answers
Inappropriate or abusive replies
Speeding – where we have deemed that you have gone too quickly through the questions to properly consider your answers
Entering poor-quality open-ended answers for example typing “don’t know” or “N/A” when an answer is required
Lapse in attention leading to failed quality checks
Giving contradictory answers – answering questions in one part of a Survey that contradict responses given in other parts of the same Survey
Flatlining – giving the same answers on a grid throughout the Survey
Location issues – agreeing to take part in a Survey that requires you to be in a specific location but not maintaining your position for the duration of the Survey.
If we determine that you have not completed a Survey in good faith and to the best of your ability, then we may deduct any Points credited to your Account which are associated with that Survey and may in extreme circumstances terminate your Membership and close your Account.
You may earn Points as follows:
Survey Completion: Earn Points for each Survey you qualify for and complete. The number of Points awarded vary by Survey depending on its complexity and length and are set at our sole discretion. If you screen out of a Survey or the Survey has reached the required number of responses you will not receive any Points, however you may still receive entry into a free prize draw.
Profile Completion: Panellists may earn additional Points by completing the certain member profiles Surveys.
Other participation in the Site, such as focus groups.
The timing of credits for Points or prize draw entries depends on the Survey. For some Surveys, credits are applied within a few days; for others, the credits are applied after the Survey has closed. Details of any additional terms and conditions relating to the incentive(s) for a Survey (including any Points) will be communicated to you on the Site or at the start of the Survey.
Researchbods will maintain a record of the Points credited to and debited from your Account. The number of Points you have accrued is displayed on your homepage which you can access by logging into your Account. Although Researchbods makes every effort to ensure that accounts are credited correctly, it is your responsibility to verify that your Points have been credited properly. If you feel the incentive amounts credited to your account are incorrect, you must contact Researchbods by email within (sixty) 60 days following our alleged error and explain in full the basis of your dispute, attaching any relevant information which offers evidence of the discrepancy. Upon receipt of your notice, we will investigate your claim and notify you of our decision to adjust or maintain the amount of Points credited to your account, as we deem appropriate, within thirty (30) days. If we need additional time to decide your claim, we will notify you and will endeavor to render a decision as soon as reasonably practicable. Any decision by us with regard to such a claim will be final
You can redeem your Points in tranches of 1,500. This means you can redeem them for a reward at any time once you have accrued 1,500 Points and you do this by logging into your Account and going to the “Rewards” tab. Any balance you have above 1,500 will go towards your next tranche. Points are awarded for Survey completion, Profile completion, and other participation on this Site. Once you have redeemed your Points for a reward, this action is final and you cannot choose a different reward or cancel the redemption to receive your Points back.
Once you have reached at least 1500 Points you can request a voucher
reward in increments of £15. If you request a voucher, SurveyBods will
make the voucher code available via electronic means within 28 days of
your request.
Electronic vouchers (e-vouchers) will be sent to the email address
within your member profile in your Account.
Please make sure that we have your correct email address to avoid any
delays in delivery.
Any request to resend a missing voucher must be made within 2 months
from when the voucher was originally sent. SurveyBods will not process
any orders after expiry of this 2-month time limit.
You will be asked to enter your bank account details (account name, sort code and account number) in the correct boxes. Please make sure that we have your correct email address to avoid any delays in payment. Requests for cash payment will be credited directly to the bank account notified to us within 28 days of your request. It is your sole responsibility notify us of your correct bank account details and we accept no responsibility for any payments where you have given us incorrect details.
If the payment fails, then we will notify you and your Points for the redemption will be credited back to your Account. If the payment is successful, we will notify you that you have been paid. From this point the money will be credited in your bank account within 5 working days.
If you have a query about a payment, you should contact customer support on hello@surveybods.com .
All rewards are subject to change as may be necessary to comply with
applicable laws or regulations and we reserve the right to void
vouchers where such laws or regulations dictate that we must do so.

We reserve the right to amend these termination and forfeiture rules at any time and in our sole discretion.
Researchbods retains the right to monitor all member activity regarding Points. If you have violated our Code of Conduct or Content Rules above, or in the event that your Account shows signs of fraud, abuse or suspicious activity, your Membership may be terminated and your Account closed, and you may forfeit all accumulated Points. If you have conducted any fraudulent activity, then subject to applicable law, Researchbods reserves the right to take any necessary legal action and may have grounds to confiscate any rewards redeemed as a result of such activity. In addition, if allowed by law, you may be liable for monetary losses to Researchbods and/or its clients, including litigation costs and damages, and you will not be allowed to participate in the Panel or collect Points in the future.
If your Account does not accurately reflect your Point balance, Researchbods reserves the right to correct such errors. If you have been awarded Points in error or you believe that your Account has been the subject of suspicious activity, please contact Researchbods immediately. If it is determined that you have been the victim of fraud, the Points you have earned will be transferred to a new Account.
Points have no cash value, and may not be assigned, transferred and/or pledged to any third party. You have no property rights or other legal interests in any Points granted pursuant to the SurveyBods Points program (Points Program).
Any revisions to the Points Program may affect your ability to use any Points you accumulate. If the Points Program is terminated or your Membership is terminated by Researchbods other than as a result of your breach of these Terms, you will only have 30 days from such termination date to redeem all your accumulated Points. If there is a modification to the Points Program, we will endeavor to notify you; however, Researchbods will not be responsible if you do not learn of the modification. The rewards offered, and Point levels required for specific rewards are subject to change without notice and we reserve the right to amend the Points Programme at any time and in our sole discretion. All rewards are subject to availability.
You may close your Account at any time by contacting SurveyBods at hello@surveybods.com or by logging into your Account and going to “Settings” then “Close Account”. Immediately upon closing your Account, your membership will be terminated. You understand and agree that, as noted above, upon closing your Account, your right to access the Points Program will cease and all Points credited to your Account at such time, however and whenever accumulated, will be forfeited. In addition, Researchbods may terminate your Membership and close your Account at any time for any reason. If we close your Account and terminate your Membership, all Points credited to your Account at such time, however and whenever accumulated, will be forfeited.
