Updated
Members answer market research surveys and short polls on the Surveyon website or app and collect points, which can later be exchanged for cash, gift cards or vouchers.
Whether it is worth your time depends on your region, since Surveyon only operates in a set list of countries, and on how the point exchange works, which is worth understanding before you sign up.
What is Surveyon
Surveyon is an online survey panel operated by dataSpring, Inc., a research company based in Tokyo, Japan. Members take market research and consumer surveys and short polls through the website or the app, earning points for each completed activity.
The site says it has served regions in Asia since 2014, with language editions for the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong. Signing up from outside these regions shows a message that the service is not provided there.

Facts checked on
How members earn on Surveyon
Most points come from surveys, which are standard market research and consumer questionnaires. The site says some surveys also award a small number of points even if the member is screened out partway through.
- Quickpoll: points for each vote cast, with double points offered on 'Today's Quickpoll'.
- Suggesting a Quickpoll topic: 1,000 points if the topic is chosen, plus points for writing top-liked comments.
- Daily check-in stamps: these build toward a Lucky Draw ticket, and the site says a draw can pay out anywhere from 1 to 1,000 points.
- Events run on the platform from time to time.
- Inviting friends: the FAQ says both the member and the invited friend receive 2,000 points once the friend completes a general survey, plus an ongoing 1% of the friend's survey points afterward.
Lucky Draw tickets are also given on every tenth daily check-in and on the member's birthday, according to Surveyon's support FAQ.
How Surveyon pays and who can join
Points are exchanged for cash, gift cards or vouchers through a Point Exchange page, but the exact list of exchange items and their point prices is only shown after signing in, and it varies by region.
Surveyon's home page advertises exchanges 'from $1 to $2' without stating a currency, and this same wording appears across every regional edition of the site. The Google Play and App Store listings instead describe redemption starting from 10,000 points. Which figure applies to a given exchange is not published in a way that is clear from outside the account.
Sign-up is free and requires confirming you are over 15 years old, being located in one of the supported regions, and verifying by mobile number or email code. Only one account per person is allowed. Points expire after 180 days of no activity, and an account left idle for a year becomes dormant and needs reactivation.

How PocketsFull differs
PocketsFull is also a rewards site, but it works through paid surveys and offers rather than a points-and-polls system. Offers often include trying an app or a game and reaching the steps the offer lists, or signing up for a service, and each offer shows its own reward.
PocketsFull redeems rewards as gift cards, with a catalogue that depends on the member's country, and it has an Android app as well as a website that works in a phone browser. Joining is free and there is never a deposit or payment required to use it.

Local gift cards are shown first for each country, alongside PayPal and Litecoin, which are listed on the redeem screen for everyone.

Frequently asked questions
Is Surveyon legit?
Yes, in the sense that it is a real operating survey panel run by a named research company, dataSpring, Inc., with surveys, polls and a point exchange system described on its own site and app store listings.
Is there proof that Surveyon pays its members?
Surveyon's own pages describe a point exchange for cash, gift cards and vouchers, and the app store listings state that exchanges are delivered within a set number of days, but the exact items, their point values and the minimum payout currency are not published outside of a signed-in account.
Who can join Surveyon?
Surveyon is only available in a set list of regions in Asia, for people over the age of 15, with one account allowed per person.
Does PocketsFull work like Surveyon?
Not exactly. PocketsFull centers on paid surveys and offers with their own listed rewards, rather than a points-and-polls system with a Lucky Draw, and rewards are redeemed as gift cards, PayPal or Litecoin rather than through a region-specific point exchange.
Can I use the same payment methods on PocketsFull as on Surveyon?
Not necessarily. Surveyon offers cash, gift cards and vouchers through its point exchange, while PocketsFull's redeem screen lists gift cards, PayPal and Litecoin, so other payment apps are not an option on either in the same way.
