Please keep in mind that Cint reserves the right to deny incentives, remove panelists and deny service to anyone. All invitations are sent based on a proprietary sampling algorithm. Such algorithm will not favor any individual respondent over another.

Negative incentives can occur when someone completed a survey in a manner deemed inappropriate (bad or untruthful).  We will not share with you which questions proved to be problematic for our clients.  Below are some ways clients define “bad” or “untruthful” responses

• Survey Speeding

Every survey executed has an estimated time to complete. If you complete a survey in a time frame that does not fall within the range that is acceptable you will not qualify for the survey, receive an incentive and may be terminated from the panel.

• Inconsistent or Inaccurate Answers

If you provide answers that are not accurate and or inconsistent in any manner whatsoever you will not qualify for the survey, receive an incentive and may be terminated from the panel.

• Red Herring questions

Clients, at times, will put questions in the survey multiple times or demand that you choose a specific answer to ensure you are being truthful and/or reading the entire survey question. If our client should find that your responses are unacceptable as per the red herring directive you will not qualify for the survey, receive an incentive and may be terminated from the panel.

• Open End Questions

At times clients will have a section within a survey that requests respondents to fill in their answers by writing them in, rather than selecting an answer from a set of pre-identified responses. If a response in Open Ended question is considered to contain language that is inappropriate, non-sensible, or not fitting for the question you will not qualify for the survey, receive an incentive and may be terminated from the panel.

Your rewards are added to your account at the completion of each survey unless otherwise stated. You must reach the minimum payout threshold, described on your account page, before requesting your payout through the selected payment method. 

Please log in on the webpage that you registered to take surveys with to redeem your rewards. Don’t remember which panel you signed up with? Check your survey invite for the company name.

We believe that we have your answer in our FAQ section. Please take a minute and look through the different answers. If it pertains to a study, the study has been closed and all earnings have already been given to those panelists who have completed the study.

An error can occur on a survey for a couple of reasons. 

1. If cookies are not enabled on your browser, at the end of the survey you will not be recognized as a respondent and will receive a time out. Please make sure your cookies have been enabled.
2. If you leave the survey open for an extended amount of time, the browser session will expire and you will be timed out from the survey.
3. If you navigate away from the survey, you will be timed out and not be able to finish the survey.
4. If you are not using a supported browser, have not enabled popups, do not have the latest version of Flash Media Player downloaded, you will be timed out and not able to complete the survey.
5. If you have taken the survey from a device, such as a smartphone or tablet, that doesn’t support Flash Media you will be timed out and unable to complete the study. 

Whenever you are timed out from a survey, you will not be able to access it again. A new link cannot be sent and the survey cannot be reset.

For surveys that you receive a “quota full” message they do not count as completed surveys and accrue no rewards as the information is not used. 

If you receive “quota full” the survey is normally full of respondents within the targeted range. 

This can either be before the start of a survey, which is normally indicated as closed, or sometimes in the early part of a survey where certain criteria within the survey becomes filled (for example, within a certain age bracket). 

This will vary at the rate any given survey is responded to and the overall amount of responses needed by different people to fill a quota. For this reason we encourage participants to answer at their soonest possible opportunity.

Surveys are sent automatically when your profile closely matches any of the requirements of the survey. 

However, there will be times when the survey is full or you are screened out. Instead of terminating you from the survey, the system automatically looks for other survey that also closely matches to your profile. 

This way you have another opportunity to participate in another survey for a reward.

For surveys where you receive a “screened out” message they do not count as fully completed surveys and accrue no rewards as the information is not used. 

If you are “screened out” this means that you were determined to be outside the target group for the given survey. Rather than consuming your time on answers that cannot be used, the survey finishes early (normally within the first few questions). 

This can happen from time to time even if you were originally selected to take part in a survey. However, the survey requires more specific information than what your profile can initially provide.

Surveys are sent automatically when your profile closely matches the requirements of the survey.

We recommend that you fill in your profile with as much information as possible. That way it will be easier to match your profile to surveys that suit you.

We do not recommend taking surveys on your phone or tablets due to the Flash Media that is required for the majority of the surveys. Please take surveys from a computer to ensure the proper settings are in place for any Flash Media. 

Most surveys currently feature Flash Media content, which is not currently supported on many popular phones and tablets. We recommend that you use a computer with an updated browser to ensure the correct settings are in place for any Flash Media.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. 

Unfortunately, if you receive an error while taking a survey, the error cannot be corrected after you have already entered the survey. We test all of our links to ensure they are working properly and to confirm you as a panelist will be able to complete the survey too. Please check all of your browser, server, and other computer settings for future surveys. 

If you receive an error message, you will have timed out from the survey and will not be able to access it again. The survey link cannot be resent and the survey cannot be reset.

We always try to find the right survey for you. There may be times that you are asked the same question more than once – once in our pre-screening phase (where we are looking for a survey to match your profile), and once in the actual survey itself (where we are verifying that you meet the survey’s criteria). Although it might seem like an inconvenience or a mistake that you are asked the same question more than once – rest assured that it is not and please bear with us through this quality process.  

This process does two things: 

 a) It gives us a better chance of finding a survey for you.

 b) Provides better quality data to our clients who are looking for a certain type of person.

Online surveys: You will receive an invitation to participate in the survey by email. The invitation email will contain a link to the survey and along with how long and how much rewards you may earn. The survey will start once you click on the link: You will be asked questions that you can answer with a simple click of the mouse or by entering text.

The surveys can be about a wide variety of topics, such as: your travel preferences, your feelings about certain products, or your opinion on advertising. The results help companies develop new products or adapt to the needs of consumers. In this respect, you benefit simply by helping out.

Yes, it is free to take the surveys. Participating in surveys is completely voluntary and by participating, you agree with all Terms and Conditions

If you belong to multiple research panels it is possible that you could be invited to the same survey more than once. 

To be a quality provider of research to our clients, we cannot allow people to start and complete a survey more than once. Unique respondents are a key to quality research. 

If you have already clicked the survey link and started the survey (the survey does not have to be completed), you will not be able to retake the survey. This can happen when a reminder is sent and you had already clicked the link in the original email or vice versa.

No, we are sorry, but we can send each survey’s link only once.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused; this was due to a technical problem.

If you receive a survey in the wrong language, you will have timed out from the survey and will not be able to access it again. The survey link cannot be resent and the survey cannot be reset.
