Pureprofile review: is it legit and how does it work

What Pureprofile is

Pureprofile is a survey panel owned by Pureprofile Ltd, a company the site says is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Its registered address is in Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia, and the app stores list Pureprofile as the developer of its Android and iOS apps.

The site describes itself as having over 25 years of experience, and states that it holds ISO 20252 and ISO 27001 accreditation and belongs to the Insights Association. These are the company's own claims, so treat them as background rather than as something PocketsFull can confirm.

How members earn on Pureprofile

The main way to earn is through paid surveys, which appear in a personal feed along with other activities. Pureprofile's terms mention surveys, website visits and video posts, and describe the feed as also holding polls, content and promotional deals. Each survey shows its reward and an estimated time before it starts.

The homepage also lists a games feature called Games that pay, though the company does not say which countries have access to it. There is a Bring a buddy referral program for members in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Singapore, which pays an initial amount once a referred friend completes two paid surveys, then a smaller amount for further surveys from that friend, up to a limit in the first three months. Members in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US can also be entered into a monthly draw for a cash prize, open to three winners each month.

Pureprofile Perks

Pureprofile Perks adds points earned from surveys to a member's Flybuys account each month, redeemed through Flybuys rather than through Pureprofile directly. The company does not publish which country panels this applies to.

How it pays and who can join

Joining is free, and the minimum age is 15. Registration is only open to the country a person currently lives in, and creating an account needs a country, an email address confirmed through a verification link, and a password. The terms also require an eligible mobile phone number on the account before any redemption can be made.

Payout methods vary by country. The help center lists redemption minimums for a long list of countries, and the options named across those countries include bank transfer, PayPal, gift cards through GiftPay, and in Australia, movie vouchers. A separate minimum account balance applies in each country for any redemption option available there, so the amount needed in the US is different from the amount needed in the Philippines or South Africa, for example.

Bank and PayPal payments are reported to take up to 30 business days to arrive, while gift cards and movie vouchers are usually approved faster, with up to 5 business days allowed. Bank or PayPal payments are only made to an account in the member's own name, or a joint account that includes their name. Rewards stay in the account until redeemed, but the terms say they can be forfeited after a year of inactivity, and an inactive account may be suspended or closed with its rewards forfeited.

Pureprofile compared with PocketsFull

Here is how the two sites line up on the basics.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is also a free rewards site where members take paid surveys and complete offers, including game and app offers, to build up a balance they can redeem. Like Pureprofile, not every survey fits every member, since survey providers look for specific profiles, and being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time.

PocketsFull also has a separate free-games page with browser games that need no download and no sign-up, though those games are for fun and do not add to a member's balance. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser. Keeping a profile complete and up to date helps a member get matched with more surveys on either site.

Rewards are redeemed through the options shown on the redeem screen for your country.
