Updated

It is run by Milieu Insight Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based company, and is available to members in six Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Members answer surveys, opinion polls and quizzes in the app to collect points, which can later be redeemed for rewards. Whether it is safe for you mostly comes down to whether you live in one of those countries and whether the reward types on offer there suit you.

What Milieu Surveys is

Milieu Surveys is the mobile survey app from Milieu Insight Pte. Ltd., a company based in Singapore. Inside the app, members take short surveys and 'Hot Topics' opinion polls, answer quizzes, and join seasonal campaigns that can carry bonus points.

Registration happens under the member's country of residence, and that country cannot be changed afterward. The app is on Android through Google Play and on iPhone through the App Store, where it requires iOS 16.4 or later.

How members earn on Milieu Surveys

Points come from completing surveys, opinion polls and quizzes, plus seasonal campaign activities that can add bonus points. Badge levels give an extra percentage on top: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum badges each carry their own boost, and completing two activities every seven days adds a streak boost too.

There is also a Refer a Friend programme: both the member and the friend receive points once the friend has completed seven surveys.

The help centre notes that surveys are sent every couple of days depending on client needs, and that many surveys fill their quota on a first-come, first-served basis, so not every survey will be open to every member.

How Milieu Surveys pays and who can join

Rewards and their point costs are shown inside the app's own rewards tab, so the cost of a given reward is not published outside the app. Reward types include cash or e-wallet credits, shopping vouchers, prepaid mobile credits, and donating points to charity, though these vary by country: prepaid mobile credits are not offered in Singapore, charity donations are limited to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and GrabPay credits are named only on the Singapore app listing.

The terms of service state that points have no monetary value, cannot be transferred, and are forfeited if the account is closed. They also say redemption only opens once a member reaches a level that Milieu sets, and that rewards and levels can change. The help centre says a claimed reward should arrive within 10 working days and that a claim cannot be cancelled or changed once made.

To sign up, a member must be 16 or older under the terms of service (the App Store age rating itself shows 13+), and must not be a minor in their country of residence unless a parent or guardian gives permission. Sign-up is by email, Apple ID or Facebook, date of birth and gender are required to receive surveys, and only one account per unique email address is allowed; disposable email addresses are rejected. Accounts that stay dormant for a notified period can be closed, with points forfeited.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is an online rewards site where members take paid surveys, complete offers such as game and app offers, and collect rewards that they redeem. Joining and using it is free, and no deposit or payment is ever asked for.

Surveys on PocketsFull are market-research questionnaires from survey providers, and a completed survey adds its reward to the member's balance. Not every survey fits every person, and being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time; keeping the profile complete and accurate helps with being matched to more surveys.

Offers are tasks from partners, such as trying an app or a game and reaching the steps the offer lists, or signing up for a service. Game offers on the Offers page work the same way: install or open the game and reach the steps the offer sets out. Some offers take between 7 and 30 days to confirm, and a reward can take time to appear while the partner checks and confirms it.

PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games that need no download and no sign-up, though these are for fun and do not pay rewards. There is an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser. A referral programme gives every member a personal referral link on the referral page.

How PocketsFull pays

Rewards on PocketsFull are redeemed for gift cards, with the catalogue depending on the member's country, so members see local brands such as Roblox, Amazon or Target. PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen.

A redeemed gift card is sent to the member's registered email address. PocketsFull does not pay to other payment apps or wallets beyond the options listed on its redeem screen.
