Activities
The payment for activities varies depending on the length and type of activity. You will also be paid a small screener fee in the event that you fail to meet the criteria for a survey.
Each activity will tell you how much you could get paid before you take part in it.
Within your feed we’ve also introduced simple, mobile-friendly profile update questions so you can easily build your profile, even while you’re on the go. These allow you to interact and answer questions by clicking on each feed tile.
Although you may not get paid for each profile update question, every response will help connect you to more groups and paid activities.
Campaigns are matched to relevant people based on their profile information. While we can’t promise you a certain number of campaigns each week, the more information you share, the more opportunities you have to have campaigns matched to you.
Some studies are more complex than others and as such their screening sections may contain more questions than you deem usual before you qualify for the main questionnaire. We do try to keep screening questions to a minimum, however in some instances simple demographic questions are not enough to ensure our clients have the right audience. Should a screening section go beyond the realms of fairness for the standard payment, we will ensure the screener fee is increased accordingly.
We cannot guarantee the number or frequency of activities you will receive in a given time period as these are dependent on a number of variables i.e. number of responses required, the flow/ throttle on the activity, the targeted approach taken and/ or the distribution of those profiles required. You are targeted to activities based on the answers within your profile and the associated groups you may be apart of. The more profile questions you can answer, the greater your chance of being targeted for further activities.
The best way to ensure you reach an activity in it’s early stages or you don’t miss out completely is to log in as regularly and continue to refresh your feed for new activities popping up.
We’re always working to fix technical errors. If you completed a paid activity and believe you didn’t get paid for it, please contact our customer service team.
Remember to include as much information about the survey as you can, including the name, ID, potential earning or any details about the survey topic and what went wrong.
A VPN (virtual private network) is a service that encrypts your internet traffic data. The VPN hides your IP address and encrypts all the data you send or receive to us which may fail some of our security checks on activities where this may be a requirement.
If you are using a VPN or think the network connection you are on has it enabled please switch it off/ try a different network source when participating with PDI.
Redemptions
If your bank informs us of a failed redemption an automatic email will ask you to update your bank account information within your account and confirm to us once done. Once we’ve verified your bank details, we’ll be happy to reprocess your redemption.
Depending on which country you live in, you can exchange your earnings for different reward options. Cash direct into your bank or PayPal account, Giftcards. We’re always looking for new reward partners, if you have a good idea or would like to see something available to your region, please reach out to our customer support team and provide your input.
We can deposit your redemption only into a bank/ paypal account under your own name or a joint bank account with your name.
This policy is in place to ensure that no one can redeem your PDI Opinion balance except you. It also prevents people from operating multiple PDI Opinion accounts under different names.
