I haven’t posted about this company before but I have heard excellent things about it. Synovate is a consumer opinion company and they will compensate you for participating in test panels. Like other companies, you earn points for your participation and then you can cash those in for various prizes or cash.
You can also do product testing and my understanding is that the real bonus to Synovate is really the product testing. I have heard that they fairly regularly send out free full size products for you to check out and then tell them what you think.
The people that have actively participated in this program for awhile told me that the surveys aren’t as high paying as some other companies but that the product reviews are fun and very simple.
So you can head over to Synovate and check it out and see what you think. I always recommend setting up a separate email account just for these types of programs, just in case you decide it isn’t your thing.
Does anyone have any comments about Synovate? We’d love to hear your experiences!
I have been participating with mysurvey.com for some time now. i redeemed some points for an amazon gift card about three months ago. I’ve not received anything via email or snail mail regarding my gift card. The points were deducted but I cannot find anywhere on the website that specifies how the gift card is delivered. Can anyone shed some light on this matter?
Thanks in advance!
Tonya have you contacted them to ask about it? That seems like an awfully long time.
My thoughts exactly. I’ve experienced great punctuality with swagbucks crediting the amazon gift cards via email. I just thought maybe I was missing something in the fine print wtih mysurvey.com. I will contact them tomorrow.
Thanks for your “essential” website and the quick response. Can’t beat it!
I participate in MySuvey as well. When I ordered an Amazon gift card I believe it was an electronic gift card (similar to Swagbucks). I was given a code by e-mail that I redeemed on Amazon’s site.
Ok I will look into My Survey and do a post- you like it Jennifer?
I have participated with Synovate for a few years. It seems to take a long time to get enough points to get a check, 5000 you get $5 and so on. I have never received a product to test. they are easy and don’t fill your inbox which is great. If you go to the website you get more opportunities to do surveys which earn more points.
I’ve been part of MySurvey for about 3 months now and have just accumulated enough points to get my first $10 gift card. I just redeemed my points a couple days ago and am hoping it doesn’t take 3 months to get it! I had a choice of either a regular gift card or an e-card. Also, I think I could’ve gotten a check, but that was more points. I like their surveys, but it took me a while to accumulate enough points for my first reward. It’s certainly not a get-rich-quick thing, but I enjoy making my voice heard.
I have participated with Synovate for probably a year now. I have tested baby wipes, toilet paper, and a few others for them. It seems like a good company and I enjoy testing the products.
I have been with Mysurvey for a while now and they are really great. I get a lot of surveys from them and the points add up fast. I have gotten a lot of checks from them and most recently also did the amazon card – they send it the same day you request it in your email so I would contact them.
I came across Synovate once when doing a survey for one of the other sites (either Mypoints or Mindfield) and was asked to do a home study of a product through that survey. I got to try out two different types of baby wipes (which meant 2 containers I didnt have to purchase myself) and then complete a quick and painless survey about how I liked them. I didnt mind doing the survey, unlike some of those really long and tedious ones where they ask the same questions over and over, this one was relatively simple- and they emailed me a link to the survey when they estimated I should have finished the products so I didnt have to remember to go to the site. I signed up with Synovate last night when I saw this posted somewhere and I am already half way to a $5 check. Now I just hope they keep having surveys to do to actually get to the required amount. Time shall tell.
I’ve had good experience with Synovate. I’m currently doing a product trial, and I’ve gotten several checks (and other trials) over the years. I think the product trials are fun. : )
I have been with synovate since March and have gotton probably about 5 products to test some really good ones, but they arent high paying at all , i have only got enough points for like 5 dollars for doing lots of stuff
I have been a member of Synovate for a few years now. I have done many surveys and a few of the product trials (fragrance, body lotion, etc.) I enjoy it, but the rewards DO take a VERY long time to get. I just received a check about a week ago that I requested back in MAY. If you are doing it to get ‘fast’ rewards, you may want to look into another program.
I just recently signed up for Synovate and this week received a package containing 2 four packs of toilet paper to try! The info said they would send a link to a survey soon. Seems like a good deal to me!
I’ve been doing Synovate for several years. No complaints. Always get my rewards. I’ve done several product tests – Aveeno, Pantene, Pampers, Chips Ahoy, Cottonelle, etc. It’s a nice bonus to the monetary rewards, especially being good brands.
