All your personal data will be collected and processed with your explicit consent.

How to get started
Use SurveyBods.com or download the app free from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. One can be a member through their website. Click the “Join Today” button to start the registration process, then fill out a simple form with your name, email address, and date of birth. You are also allowed to sign up through Facebook, which is a lot easier as it can only take about 10 seconds. You need to fill out a profile survey that asks a few questions about you and your lifestyle. After completion, they give you 50 points or equivalent to 50p. Surveys are open to UK residents only. You must be 16 years of age and above to join, but 11 to 16 years old can participate with parental permission. You can get £1.5 as a sign-up bonus, but no referral program exists.
What about the survey experience?
They have an app for Android and iOS devices, so it is easy to do your survey activities. There is no set number of questions, and each survey can vary from length to payout to topic. You will be asked about your gender, the country you live in, region, mobile number, ethnicity, job type, and whether you have children or not. Then you are taken to the dashboard area and given 3 more profile surveys to complete and be given points each.

How much can you make on SurveyBods?
SurveyBods uses a points system for their rewards where 100 points are equivalent to £1. The minimum payout is 1,500 points, or equal to £15. You can get paid by cash in your PayPal account or opt for an Amazon gift card. The two ways you can earn are through surveys, where you can make £0.50 and £3 per survey and by monthly prize draws, where each time you successfully complete a survey, you’re automatically entered into monthly prize draws. You can cash out by cash payment via bank transfer, by Amazon voucher, or a sweepstakes entry where you can trade your points for a chance to enter into a sweepstake draw where big prizes are at stake.
What can prevent me from cashing out?
The platform has a quality control system to check if you are giving honest answers. You will be given strikes whenever you rush through a survey and give contradictory or wrong answers. SurveyBods may suspend or terminate your account if you keep on getting strikes. Remember that your responses will be constantly checked and matched with your previous ones. So, be consistent and honest in your answers to avoid contradicting yourself. Moreover, creating multiple accounts to earn more money is a big NO.
