TrendsetterClub Review
TrendsetterClub is an online survey site focused on Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH region). The survey site was originally founded by Gapfish GmbH in Berlin, and acquired by Cint Group AB in 2021. You will receive a reward for every completed survey, and TrendsetterClub promises participation in many varied surveys on various topics.
Andrew: Andrew is one of our reviewers who’s been with HuginX the longest. With a background in membership support at one of the largest survey companies, Andrew has a lot of inside knowledge of the Market Research industry and has helped us refine our reviewing criteria. When Andrew is not working with reviews, he likes to go hiking with his dog Charlie.
How does Trendsetter Club work?
After registering for free and completing the profile questionnaire, you can participate in exciting surveys. You will receive the invitations by email and can choose which survey you would like to participate in and which you would rather not. For each successful participation, you receive points, so-called TrendPoints, which you can later exchange for prizes.
How is the payment made?
You can exchange the points you have collected for an Amazon voucher for 2,500 points. For 2,500 points, you will receive an Amazon voucher worth 5 euros. TrendsetterClub recently started offering payment via bank transfer. From 5,000 points, you can request a payout to your account. Five thousand points correspond to the equivalent of 10 euros.
Is TrendsetterClub a legit survey site?Â
TrendsetterClub is indeed a legit company. The company behind TrendsetterClub, Cint AB, is a professional market research company serving a multitude of clients all over the world. This means that TrendsetterClub is not a scam, and you’ll eventually get paid for the surveys you complete according to their terms. We recommend paying attention to the exact terms when signing up for the survey portals, so you know exactly what to expect.
What about my data – are they safe?
TrendsetterClub will monetize and share your survey data anonymously in order to deliver valuable research to its clients for market research purposes. These clients may use this data to develop and improve products, for example, to track the brand awareness of a consumer brand such as Hollister. Personally identifiable data, like your name, email address and phone number will be treated in a confidential manner and shared in a very restricted way
How much money can I make at TrendsetterClub?
Unfortunately, there is no generally applicable answer to this question – neither from us nor anyone else. Unfortunately, anyone who tells you that you can earn a monthly sum X at TrendsetterClub is not telling you the truth. The truth is that it can range from “very little” to “very much.” For most people, it’s probably somewhere in between. We could now show you how much we have earned within four weeks, but what added value does that offer you? We don’t want to tell you any fairy tales and have therefore written an article in which we once again examine the topic of payment and remuneration in detail.

The number of surveys available to you depends on many factors.

During our test, we received invitations to surveys almost every day and were able to qualify to participate more often than average.
What types of surveys are offered?

Disclosure – How we make money
We built HuginX around our core principles of openness, honesty and transparency. Your trust is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we’ll always be straight-up about how we review sites.When it comes to running our website, we want to be entirely upfront about how we operate, how we make money, and how we keep the site a free resource for our millions of visitors. We don’t accept payment to provide positive reviews, and providers will never have a say in how we choose the best sites. Our aim is to put you, the reader, first and foremost at all times.Â
A list of practices we never engage in:
- We will never accept money to review a product
- We will never accept money to change a product review
- We will never accept money to turn a blind eye to an issue or flaw
- We will never accept money to bias our research or investigations
So, how do we make money? We receive fees from some of the sites we refer subscribers to. These fees are also known as affiliate commissions. When you click on a link or a button that takes you to a provider’s website such as a survey site, we may receive compensation for having referred a new sign-up.
Referral fees are only negotiated after we’ve fully conducted our review, meaning that money plays no factor in the process. Referral fees do not impact our review ratings and recommendations.The compensation we receive may, however, influence how, where, and in what order products appear in our paid search comparison pages, which are separate from our editorial content. These contain ad listings, and can only be accessed via search engine advertisements.
