At Rewarding Your Opinions, our goal is to provide quality data and insights. To achieve this, we may from time to time ask questions of a sensitive or controversial nature. Our surveys are used to understand the decision-making process around a variety of topics from shopping to social and political issues.
If you have any concerns about a question or topic, please let us know. You can reach out to our dedicated support team who will be more than happy to discuss any issues.
We are always happy to receive your comments or feedback. That's how we continue to make your experience the best it can be.
Why are surveys conducted?Surveys are carried out because businesses, governments, public bodies, and similar organizations are interested in the views and attitudes of the people who use their products and services. The more they know about what customers and citizens think about the aforementioned, the easier it is for them to improve and adapt what they supply.
How often will I be asked to take surveys?We send out survey invitations on a regular basis, but can’t say exactly when or how often a member will receive them. This is because each survey is customized and based on the research goals for each client.
What happens after I join?We will send you an email welcoming you to Rewarding Your Opinions and asking you to confirm your account. Following this, we recommend that you log in to your account to complete profile information, and soon after you will begin receiving email invitations to take surveys. The emails will contain all the information you need to participate, including how many AIR MILES® Reward Miles you’ll receive if you complete the survey.
What is expected of me when participating in surveys?When participating in surveys, we ask that you please give careful consideration to every question you answer. Quality mechanisms are in place to validate your responses, and failure to answer honestly may result in your answers not being accepted and you may be screened out of the survey. If we identify dishonest behavior, we cannot pay you the reward for the survey, and if this behavior continues, we may deactivate your account. (Read our Terms & Conditions for further information).
Will I be penalized if I do not complete a survey I am invited to participate in?No - You can respond to as many or as few of the survey invitations you receive. However, the more surveys you take, the more AIR MILES® Reward Miles you collect!
How will I know that I have surveys to complete?We will send you an email invitation when a new survey is available. From that invitation, you will be able to access and complete the survey. You can also see your available surveys from your member dashboard when you log in to your account.
Why haven't I received any surveys?
Your chance to be invited to a survey depends on several factors, such as the number and types of surveys we are conducting at any one time and also your background information.
We will always email you if there is a new survey to take. Please ensure that we are on your whitelist, or that your email provider isn’t blocking emails from Rewarding Your Opinions.
Surveys vary in length, but typically take 5 - 20 minutes to complete. Each survey invitation will provide an estimated completion time, the survey deadline to respond, and the corresponding AIR MILES® Reward Miles that will be awarded for completion.
Why can't I open surveys?Not all internet providers allow users to click on links within their email. If you are unable to gain access to our survey, try the following:
Copy and paste the link from your email into the browser’s URL and press enter. This will take you directly to the correct page.
Ensure that you copy the entire web address into the browser as sometimes the link can spread over two lines.
Make sure when you copy the link it does not contain any line breaks, as this will also stop the link from working.
I realized I picked the wrong answer. Can I go back and change my reply?Once you submit an answer on a survey, you are not allowed to change your answer. We do this to protect the survey data. We realize there are times when a panelist makes an honest mistake and clicks on the wrong button, but unfortunately we cannot go back and change our data.
Why is the survey now closed?The majority of our surveys are open for a few days as we seek panelists who are a good fit. However, some surveys are more popular than others and close quickly. We always try to limit the number of panelists we invite so that the panelists we do invite have a fair chance of answering the survey. We cannot always predict how popular a survey may be, and sometimes surveys unexpectedly close quickly. We apologize in advance if this rare occurrence happens to you.
Can you resend me the survey invite?We can only distribute the links to the surveys once.
I received an error message, what should I do?If this happens, there may be a technical problem. You can try and access the survey again later from the survey invitation email. If there is a general error with the survey, it may be resent to you at a later date. If it happened at a late stage in the survey, contact us , providing as much information about the survey as possible: the survey number, link from the invitation email or the topic, reward amount, and date of the survey so that we may identify the survey and assist you.
Can I get someone else to complete my surveys for me if I am away?No - Once you have registered with the Rewarding Your Opinions panel, you should complete the surveys so you don’t lose out on future surveys or get flagged for possible questionable answers. Your family and friends are welcome to join the Rewarding Your Opinions panel. Each panel member will require a unique email address and their own AIR MILES® Reward Miles account number. All registrations are also subject to our data quality checks.
Is there any extra software I need on my computer to complete surveys?Some of our surveys require Adobe Flash Player. It should only take two to three minutes to download; go to https://www.adobe.com and click on the 'download Flash Player' link. While it is not required that you download Flash Player in advance, doing so will save you time when you attempt a survey that uses it.
Why was I unable to complete a survey?Market researchers are often looking for the opinion of a very specific group of people; for example, users of a particular brand or product. Questions will be asked as part of each survey to check whether it is relevant to you. If it is not relevant to you, you will be "screened out" with a message explaining that you haven’t qualified. While this is a normal part of market research, the more we know about you, the more we can send you relevant surveys. We recommend ensuring that your survey profile is complete and that you update it frequently. If you do get screened out, you will still receive one (1) AIR MILES® Reward Miles for attempting the survey, and any data received from non-completed surveys is discarded.
Why do you ask me questions you already know the answer to?When you sign up for Rewarding Your Opinions, we ask you to complete some personal demographic questions (such as age, gender and ZIP code) which enable us to better target surveys for you.
Often these questions are also asked at the beginning of surveys, which are created by our clients. Rewarding Your Opinions doesn't share your personal information with anyone (even our clients), which is why you need to complete these questions on many of the surveys you receive. These questions also ensure that the information we are passing to clients is as current as possible, so thank you for your patience in answering these questions.
I’ve received a survey invite, but when I click through there are no surveys available. Why?If you have participated in a lot of surveys in the last day or two, you might find that we have run out of suitable surveys for you. Additionally, the surveys you are invited to may have already reached their quota of respondents by the time you clicked through. If you click through and find that this is the case, check back the next day, and we should have more available.

Badges are awarded to members who activate their account, continue to take surveys regularly, fill out their survey profile, and redeem rewards.
There are five levels, Bronze for beginners, Silver, Gold, Platinum and our highest level, Diamond.
At every level there are key achievements (known as badges) awarded for your survey activity.
The membership levels are related to aspects of your membership, focusing on activities like taking surveys and redeem rewards.
How do I level up?You can level up by unlocking all the achievements available at your current level in a 365 day period. For example, if you’re a Bronze member, you need to complete all the available badges relating to Bronze membership in order to level up and become a Silver member.
You can achieve badges for different levels above your own – for example, if you have completed 100% of your survey profile, you’ll get a Platinum status badge for that section – but you cannot reach Diamond level until you’ve achieved all badges within Platinum.
What is a Bronze member?Bronze members are just getting started. To reach Bronze status, all you have to do is sign up and activate your account.
What is a Silver member?Silver is the first step on the ladder.
To reach Silver status, members must:
- Complete 25% of their survey profile
- Take one survey in the last week
- Complete their first survey
Gold members are becoming regular survey takers.
To reach Gold, members must:
- Complete 50% of their survey profile
- Take a survey on two consecutive weeks
- Complete their 10th survey
Platinum members are active and regular survey takers who have almost completed their survey profile.
To reach Platinum status, members must:
- Complete 75% of their survey profile
- Take a survey on three consecutive weeks
- Complete their 25th survey
Diamond members have reached the top level. They have a complete survey profile, have completed fifty surveys (or more) and maintain regular survey activity.
To reach Diamond status, members must:
- Complete 100% of their survey profile
- Take a survey on four consecutive weeks
- Complete their 50th survey
To maintain your badge status, you must ensure that you continue to take surveys regularly – at least once a week. If you do not maintain your survey activity, your badge for consecutive surveys over one, two, three or four weeks will be lost and you’ll drop to the next level down.
Similarly you must keep your survey profile updated – some sections expire over time, such as technology, electronics and gadgets and automotive – so if you see your profile drop in percentage since you last logged in, check back and complete any sections within your survey profile that are less than 100% complete.
