In the month of November 2017, Mintvine underwent a makeover and was renamed Branded Surveys. Branded Surveys made adjustments to its survey website gradually over the coming months. These improvements varied from the brand new approach to the branding, modernized platform interface, and introduction of the Branded Elite program, among many other developments. By the year 2019, Branded Surveys had included some more updates to its survey program.
Changes to the Branded Elite referral program
Currently, a referral will earn you 50 points only if the referrer that you have sent them attains Silver Badge status. After January 2018, the credit will be awarded for gaining Silver Badge status by any referral. You will earn 200 points each time a referral, who is an Elite Silver Member, is active.
New Branded Elite Leaderboard Prizes
Branded Elite Leaderboard gives the learner the chance to earn some more points on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. It tracks the best 50 on a daily basis, the best 50 weekly, and the top 20 per month, thus giving them extra points. In Particular, another random winner will be chosen for the daily, weekly, and monthly point prizes. The frequency of these payouts is much higher, as well as the amount allowed.
- Daily Top 50 leaders: 50-point Credit
- Weekly Top 50 leaders: two hundred-point credit score.
- Monthly Top 20 leaders: credit of US $ 300.00 into an account
- Random prize winner: Each participant will be declared daily (50 points), weekly winner (500 points), and monthly winner (1000 points credited to their account)
Removal of Poll Streak
Daily polls are still obtainable, but at a reduced rate, and the aspect of poll streaks has been removed. Earlier, to have a chance of getting the extra points (e.g., 10 points), users needed to participate in the surveys (e.g., 10 polls), but now this option is terminated.
New bonus points for consecutive survey completions
Bonus points are now awarded for consecutive surveys completed within a week:
- Take 12 surveys within 7 days to earn an additional 5%, 10%, and 15% in your account as a Bronze, Silver, and Gold pins holder.
- If you do 20 surveys within 7 days, you will get a bonus of 7 percent in your account if you are a Bronze badge holder, 12% implying that you are a Silver badge holder, and 17% if you are a Gold badge holder.
- Complete 30 surveys in 7 days and get 9% of your total reserved points in your account as a Bronze, Silver, or Gold badge holder you are.
Please be informed that the ‘You’re an ace’ account bonuses are no longer operational.
Badge status re-qualification criteria
Badge colors might be changed on the first day of each month. It is important to stay active in order to keep your badge color.
To sum it up
Branded Surveys is always on the move regarding the maintenance of its services and platforms to fulfill dynamic client requirements. However, all these changes do not jeopardize the higher-level experience of the survey-taking members. Branded may not have been very successful for some of these changes however, we remain on track to offer better services in the future.
