Brand Institute Sign Up for Brand Institute

My Review of Brand Institute

Brand Institute is a unique one because they specialize in pharmaceutical surveys and some really interesting random consumer products. If you've ever been involved in the healthcare industry, this is a great panel to join. Some of their surveys pay upwards of $30 - just make sure you respond very quickly when you receive that in your email! They accept anyone so it's worth it to sign up.

  Medical professionals can make good money

  Brand Institute specializes on medical surveys. If you are a doctor, pharmacist, paramedic, or nurse you can earn good cash. I receive about 2-3 invites every month and I qualify for most of them. I would highly recommend Brand Institute.

  Too Particular

  If you're not in the medical profession or go to the doctor a lot, you should just stop now. This site is not for you. The site is geared towards surveys put on my pharmaceutical corporations and as a result, they are looking for a very specific demographic to complete their surveys. It is interesting, but qualifying for surveys is tough.

  No big complaints

  I would give this site 5 stars if there were more surveys to take, but overall it's a solid site. I like the focus on medical/pharmaceutical stuff since that is my area of expertise, but I could see how some may not like it. Pay is good, and the communication with the company is also very reliable - worth your time.

  Hit Or Miss

  It's interesting to be able to have some imput on new products and to learn about new products by filling out surveys. However it is "hit or miss" whether you are asked or qualify to do a survey. The pay is pretty good, about $2-$5.00 a survey.

  Would be better if I actually got more surveys

  This site is great when I actually get surveys. They pay well and on time, but I almost never get to do the surveys on here- most of them I'm screened out of. If the work were more regular the site would be really awesome, but as it stands it could be better.

  Good paying site

  If you are a medical professional you can earn good money from them. The pay is higher than the industry average. I get about 4 surveys every month. I only wish the survey volume was higher. I have absolutely no other complaints.

  Decent

  Cash is paid via check or Paypal, which is awesome. I'm not a medical professional, but those who are will indeed get paid more. Pay is okay for us non medical professionals anyways. I got 3 surveys last month which isn't that bad.

  I like the Brand Institute surveys because the topics are more interesting than many from the other paid survey companies. I would like if they had more surveys available to take.

  Good Process

  Brand Institute gives an idea of what the survey is about and what the payment amount is upfront. They also decide if you are qualified in very few questions.

  not enough surveys

  i've been a member of brand institute for a few months and have only received two survey invitations. one of them was full within minutes. i like their format and i like that they tell you the payment amount in advance but i wish they had more surveys. they could be one of the better survey companies if they offered more paid survey opportunities.

  Have been a member of the medical panel for a couple of years now and have earnt about $300 in total, so they definitely send surveys as well as paying. Survey payment is nowhere near prompt with it taking anything up to 8 weeks after survey completion (about 1 week for response processing and about 7 weeks for payment processing). Customer service, considering the size of this company and how many companies they are involved with, is a complete joke and the absolute worst I have experienced in a long time. Upon sending a message, can take up to 2 weeks before receiving a response and the response very rarely answers the question asked (my guess is they read the message title and then guess at the question and copy/paste a standard response). Overall, if you want a survey company that send surveys regularly and pays, then you can consider BI. If you want customer service and prompt payment, then you may want to avoid

  Being a member of BI for 2 years, I received only one $5-survey but disqualified. However BI sent me some language tests for medical products' name. $138 have been paid so far, relative fast. I am now waiting for another $52 test that I finished 2 months ago. This time is quite slow payment of BI so I am curious what happened with them.

  As an active member in the healthcare field I have participated in the Brand Institute surveys since 2007. I love the experience and knowledge I have earned...not to mention the extra bucks being a single mom. I would recommend this site to anyone who has the extra time to commit to answering the questions and getting involved :)

  I have been a member for almost 2 years :) (Nov 14, 2009) I'm a health care professional (Nurse) and have earned $405 to date plus $140 that is "processing" right now. So, if you ask me I would definitely say its WORTH IT! Though I cant speak for the non-professional surveys but if you are a health care professional, I would urge you to join!!!!

  I have been a member of Brand for about 18 months and I am very impressed with quality of surveys both in format and topics. The rewards are very reasonable with payouts ranging from $2 - $15 and they pay by PayPal. The topics however, are usually intended for very specific fields such as health care which usually limits the invitations you receive and makes qualifying rather difficult. In all may time as a member, I have earned about $25 which is far below some of the other sites. But if your profession is consistent to what they want, you should do very well. I recommend giving Brand a try. If they ever broadened their topics, this site would be one of the best.

  I joined Brand Institute last year as a health care professional. I have been quite impressed with the quality of surveys-they are not your "run of the mill" surveys where you just click bubbles. The surveys I complete require application of previous health care knowledge to accurately answer the questions. Some questions will require written answers. The surveys take an average of 30 minutes to complete. I usually get between 2-4 surveys/month at $15 per survey. I have never had an issue with payment. Payment usually takes about 4 weeks via paypal or longer if you wish to get paid by cheque via mail. I applied for the VIP panel but was turned down as I didn't meet their strict criteria. I would have liked to know exactly why I didn't qualify rather than just being told I didn't meet their strict criteria. Overall, this is a great survey panel to join with thought-provoking surveys. Brand Institute also has great technical support and responds quickly to any question I have. They pay well compared to other survey panels and I will definitely continue to be a member of Brand Institute as long as they will have me!

  Well I've been a member for a while, the surveys trickle in, I'm not sure what it takes to "qualify" for VIP. I try each time I get an email to complete the survey I think I've had 24 invites, and only was able to complete 4. I did notice however my profile wasn't complete so I just filled that out, perhaps I'll have more surveys come my way. As for the folks who say they'll try for a bit longer.. well the nice thing is you don't have to check daily, if you get a survey they email you, then you take survey.(unless you test out) Pretty easy.

  I have been a member of Brand Institute since Feb. 2010. It's now July of 2011 and I have not qualified for a single Brand Institute survey! Also, my "survey summary" shows that I have been invited to ONLY 11 surveys. Considering that B.I. only normally pays between $2-$5 if you DO qualify and complete the survey, I can't imagine this would be a big money maker for the average survey taker. I'm guessing that they just have very specific qualifications that I do not match and by looking at the other reviews of Brand Institute here, I'm not alone. Don't know if anything would change if I were a "VIP Member" but as stated on their page: "*If you are not a VIP you will still receive invitation through your email. Entrance into the VIP panel is strict and is NOT guaranteed for all who apply." So overall, I can't say I would recommend this site.

  I have been a member since Jan 2011, I have received 1-2 $15 surveys. I am very happy so far but I wish they could send me more survey invitations and even allow me to become a VIP member. But still Brand Institute is the Best site that I have devoted my time so far. Once you become a member and get qualified surveys via email you would love Brand Institute.

  I belong to a few survey sites and this site is pretty straight forward. You get paid for each survey you do, no waiting for a minimum redemption amount. I’ve recently started with this site and it’s great. 6 to 8 surveys a month. The surveys are interesting and pay well for the time it takes to do them. Since most of the surveys are healthcare related it does take time to complete the surveys – 20 to 30 minutes. It helps if you have some medical knowledge since those surveys pay higher amounts. Looking forward to more surveys from BI!

  I have been taken Brand Institute surveys for over ten years, and have earned quite a renumeration over the years. I am a Registered Pharmacist and I find the surveys very interesting and educational. The support from their staff is excellent, whenever there is a problem they are right there to solve the problem, almost instantly. One of their staff in particular, Raul Rio is very supportive and helpful. Try them you won't be disappointed.

  I have been a member of Brand Institute for about 1.5 years now. I get about 1 or 2 requests a month to do surveys. The surveys are not just mindless pointing and clicking they do require careful thought. Each survey takes about 30 minutes to complete; and in return I receive anywhere from $15 to $20. Payment through PayPal or mailed cheque takes anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. As I have completed more surveys properly the number of requests I receive each month has been increasing. I have been frustrated by several other survey sites which in the end simply were a waste of time; as I'm sure many of you can attest to.

  The title pretty much sums it up for me. I joined on November 26th, 2009, and have received only six survey invitations since then, and qualified for none. However, I was always screened out quickly, and the rewards offered on those surveys would have been very fair for those who did qualify. If you sign up for this company, I wouldn't expect much - but maybe you'll have better luck than I did and complete the occasional high-paying survey from Brand Institute.

  At first I was hesitant on the credibilty of Brand Institute since most surveys online would require you to pay a membership fee.. I received invitations but I just neglected most of them since I thought BI is a scam.. One night, I had the courage to answer their survey which I find really amazing for a study,but still Im not expecting the USD 15 that they are paying for completing surveys.. And voila! After about 4 weeks, I received an email stating that they already credited the USD 15 to my Paypal account..When I checked my Paypal its really there! So that's when I started looking for more online paid surveys which I believed getpaidsurveys.com is really at work to help panelist like me.. Nonetheless, I am always waiting for BRAND INSTITUTE'S new survey for me to complete..The best and straightforward! BRAND INSTITUTE!

  First of all, I'm a pharmacist.. so, I think that is an advantage for me. I joined this site since Sept 2010. After 2 months, I got 2 surveys invitations, each worth to USD 15. A week later I got 3 invitations, but unfortunately, I missed 2 of those. I got the payment recently.. It is said about 8 weeks processing, but I got the payment in 5 weeks. For me, Brand Institute is the best paid survey..

  I have been a member since November of last year and only received 4 surveys. Although invites are limited, you can be sure you get paid for each accomplished surveys. Becoming a VIP member can limit the surveys you get but they are strict in upgrading status. But there's no harm in applying anyway.

  I have been a member of Brand Institute for a while now. I haven't been getting many surveys from Brand Institute, the surveys trickle in once a month or even less. I sometimes qualify for some surveys, but not all of them. I haven't made much money taking their surveys. Sorry, I can't say anything positive about Brand Institute or their surveys. But before you decide to join Brand Institute, you should read the other comments and make your own decision. Best of Luck!!

  The surveys are generally 20-30 minutes in length. All the surveys have paid me $15. Not bad for 20 minutes of work. The questions are quite complicated since they are related to medical field. Before, I used to receive 1-2 surveys per month, but now, I'm getting 1-2 surveys per week, that all pay $15. The payment process takes a month. Although most people don't qualify for these surveys, I still think this is a great survey program. I earned most of my survey income from Brand Institute.

  I've been a member of the BI for about 4-5 years, but as a non-American have only received some 3-4 surveys overall for about $10-15 each. They do pay, but it can take up to 6 months to receive payment. Maybe becoming a VIP member would help.

  I joined them two years ago.They pay very well for surveys.I had received surveys worth 15$,20$ serveral times.Because I am not a VIP member,I only receive surveys 2-3 times a month.I really want to become a VIP member and receive more surveys but they want me fax a copy of my drivers license and a recent bill.I am seriously concern my privacy information and still not decide it. Anyway BI give me great experiences in surveys.They never miss a payment for me.I promise you would love it after you join.
