Today’s review will be on one of the newer paid survey sites, MintVine. I’m going to assume that most of you have never heard of MintVine, since it seems like the company has only been around since 2013. Considering this is a newer paid survey site, there are a lot of scams out there, and there aren’t yet. there is a lot of reliable established information available, I felt a review on this was needed sooner rather than later.
I can say with absolute certainty that MintVine is as legit as it gets.
MintVine is in many ways similar to the paid survey sites out there today, and in some very good (and important) ways it is very different. MintVine works pretty much like any other place in terms of ways to earn money. From their MVP referral program, where you get 15% of referral points and a 50 point bonus when they complete their first survey (this can be a lot of $, be sure to use it!), paid surveys and offers.
MintVine has a bit of a unique process (in a good way) with surveys. They have what they call the “funnel” where they basically funnel you through the system until you find a survey you qualify for, instead of waiting a week to get an email invite for a survey you probably won’t qualify for. You probably won’t spend much time in the “funnel” before qualifying, and probably up to several times a day.
Another unique feature of MintVine is that they offer daily polls. They go from 5 to 10 points just for two clicks. One to select your answer and one to send. That’s as easy as it sounds. They’re practically giving you $3 a month right there!
Another unique feature of MintVine is its local deals section. Basically the same idea as Groupon. I live in a very rural area and I am seeing an offer for a restaurant in my city. In addition to getting a 50% discount if I buy that offer, I would get 80 points. It’s essentially Groupon with the added bonus of points just for shopping through them.
MintVine works on a point system rather than a dollar amount, which can sometimes be a bit iffy, not in this case. MintVine has a very simple system where 100 points equals $1.00. As soon as you reach 1,000 points ($10.00), you will be eligible to receive a payment via Paypal. Members have unanimously said that MintVine is fast with payouts and that they were able to hit that $10.00 threshold very quickly. It’s about the two most important things, and MintVine gets an A+ on both counts.
This is a VERY good paid survey site, in fact one of my favorites to date. MintVine really is as legit as it gets, and so far it’s apparently a closely guarded secret from pollsters around the world. If you are looking for another paid survey site, this is the one.
