Yes! There are some surveys that ask for registration fees, however no legitimate company will ever do this. We do not recommend you pay money for registration. If you stick to the surveys that we list, then you’re safe and good to go.

No, it is not true, thousands of real people make money with surveys every day and they are widely recognized as a legitimate source of extra income by hundreds of trustworthy sources online. In brief: – There is no such thing as “get rich quick” online, although surveys cost nothing, they do cost your time and you are providing valuable information towards company’s market research.  Marketing the wrong product to the wrong people, in the wrong way can cost companies millions, so it makes sense for them to spend out on paid surveys to understand what consumers really think. – Sadly, survey scams do exist, but these are the minority – Like most ways of making money online, there is always someone who will try to scam ordinary people out of their hard-earned money.  Surveys are no different, however fortunately the number of scams has reduced in recent years. Most of the common survey scams are those that ask new users to pay to register, or sites that sell your personal information to other people. Here’s how to avoid this: Never pay to register to a panel – Legitimate survey sites will NOT ask you for any money to register, as you make them money! Make sure to read the terms and conditions/privacy policy of the company you register to so you can be sure that they keep your personal information safe. Any legitimate survey company will do that.

We fully understand your worries and you are right to be wary, as you certainly can’t trust everything you read online. There are so many ads online such as: Join here and make $1,000 in 10 days? We don’t make any promises here, nor do legitimate survey sites. The sites we list do not cost any money, so really the bottom line is you’ll never find out for yourself until you try it, no matter what you read here or anywhere else online, it’s totally up to you. We aren’t here to force you into any decisions, or try to manipulate your decision, we just want to provide upfront, honest information that you can use in your own decision making.

You are only allowed to register for one account. If we discover you’re running more than one 'Xcel Global Panel' account, all of your accounts may be closed, and you may be permanently blocked from our service and all points forfeited.

If you haven’t logged in and completed an activity in the last 12 months, your 'Xcel Global Panel' account will be considered inactive and may be closed. When your account is determined to be inactive, you forfeit your rewards balance and most of your valuable profile information. The reason we pause your account is due to the inherent value of your profile. Your profile is a personal asset that you have built and refined over time. By not engaging in over a year, we assume your profile data is not current and that you’re not interested in continuing to build this profile with us. Before your balance is forfeited, you will receive emails inviting you to log in and confirm your account is still active. If you don’t respond to these by logging in and participating, your account will be deemed inactive and may be closed.

You cannot unsubscribe from transactional emails due to these being a requirement for the continuation of your account. If you do not wish to receive daily reminders on the activities available in your account, you can change the frequency within the settings tab of your account. If you would like to discontinue your account and cease all communications and dealings with 'Xcel Global Panel' you can close your account at any time.

The payment for surveys varies depending on the length and type of survey. In some cases, you will also be paid a small screener fee in the event that you fail to meet the criteria for a survey. Each survey 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 surveys.

Surveys are matched to relevant people based on their profile information. While we can’t promise you a certain number of surveys each week, the more information you share and connect with your 'Xcel Global Panel', the more opportunities you have to have surveys matched to you.

The emails you receive are reminders ONLY for surveys that may still be available, however, these are made obtainable to thousands of members at a time and can fill up extremely fast. Given these are reminders in real-time it’s possible an activity may only need a handful of remaining respondents and can be why the survey is filled as quickly as you have received the given invite. The best way to ensure you reach a survey in its early stages or you don’t miss out completely is to log in as regularly and continue to refresh your feed for new surveys popping up.

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.

Some 'Xcel Global Panel' surveys will have restrictions in place when attempting to participate outside of your country of registration. This could be enabled for a number of reasons for e.g., fraudulent security protocols, questions within an activity related to real-time locational stamps, geo-locational tracking or marking etc. Please do note it’s against our Terms of Service to register an account under a country you do not reside in. If you are registered to your country of residence and are travelling, we advise resuming participation with 'Xcel Global Panel', once you are back from your leave.

Your profile is a part of an interactive dashboard. The more you interact with your dashboard, the more personalized your profile becomes. You can find all your available profile surveys under the ‘Profile’ tab.

When you first log in, you’ll see your dashboard. It contains profile update questions and earning opportunities matched to you. If you’re new to 'Xcel Global Panel', you’ll see mainly profile update questions in your dashboard. Click on them to give your answers and build your profile. The more profile questions you complete, the more groups you’ll be added to. And the more groups you join, the more earning opportunities such as paid surveys you’ll receive. If you’ve been a 'Xcel Global Panel' member for a while, you may have already completed most or all your profile questions, so you’ll see more surveys in your dashboard. Each piece of content in your dashboard will tell you the type of activity it is, how much you could earn for taking part and how long it will take to complete. Simply click on the tiles to participate.

Groups are built around the common attributes that 'Xcel Global Panel' members share. Based on your answers to profile questions, you’ll be placed into groups of people who share your interests and preferences. There are groups for all kinds of people: ‘Main Grocery Buyers’, ‘Owns a Dog’, ‘Eats Out at Restaurants’. There’s even a group for people who ‘Don’t Eat Cereal’. So, what’s the point of all these groups? Groups are useful because they allow brands to connect directly with customers who care about their products and consider their content relevant. The more comprehensive your profile is, the more groups you can be in. Being in the right groups means you’ll receive more earning opportunities that are tailored to you – so you’re bound to enjoy them even more!

You might notice your dashboard is showing questions you might have already answered in the past. You’re being asked to update your answers to certain questions so we can ensure your profile is accurate and reflects recent events in your life, such as moving house, changing job or getting married. This means the content and activities you receive will be relevant and optimized for you.

Your full profile makeup will occur automatically through repeated campaigns at differing intervals depending on the topic or subject in question and based on the date of your last provided answer. Further topics and questions will appear as you complete more of your profile and join further groups. If you feel an important piece of your profile needs to be corrected, updated, or altered please reach out to our support team for help and guidance.

Once your account reaches the minimum requirement, click on the Rewards in the menu bar to the left of your dashboard to select your preferred redemption method and follow the prompts.

Depending on which country you live in, you can exchange your earnings for different reward options. Paytm account, Gift cards, movie tickets etc. 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 support team and provide your inputs.

You may redeem between 100 to 500 points in one transaction for Paytm or Gift card redemptions. The minimum redemption can be done once you have 100 points. Maximum redemption limit allowed in a day is for 500 points.

Paytm redemptions can take up to 7 business days (not including weekends or public holidays) to be processed and deposited into your account. Gift Cards take up to 10 days, and you will be given your e-voucher.

The reason could be, you have not allowed enough time for us to process your request. Depending on the reward option you select it may take us a few days to organize transfers, these time periods are shown to you at time of selection. If you’ve still received no redemption, this could be due to details where there could be a small error in your information. Unfortunately, we can’t detect this mistake until we’ve tried to process the request and it has got rejected.

Follow the steps below - - Click on redemption and then on redemption history - Click on eye icon under action column to review your voucher code
