This review explains what Surveyz is, how members earn, who can join, and how withdrawals work, based on the brand's own pages. It then looks at PocketsFull as an option for people who cannot use Surveyz.

What is Surveyz

Surveyz is a survey panel run by Data Analytics Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The terms of use say this company owns, operates and controls the Surveyz website and platform.

Members are invited to complete short online surveys and are paid dollar amounts rather than points. Surveyz also encourages members to link their main bank accounts in read-only form, through Consumer Data Right via Mastercard Open Banking, so that de-identified spending patterns can be used to decide who is invited to each survey. The terms also name Experian Australia and Basiq as data aggregators involved in this process.

Facts checked on

How members earn on Surveyz

Members earn by completing online surveys. Most take between 5 and 15 minutes, and the length and reward are shown in each invitation before the member starts.

  • Members who have linked their main bank accounts receive what Surveyz calls double pay per survey compared with members who have not linked an account.
  • A welcome survey pays $3.00 to members who link their bank accounts first and then complete it.
  • If an invited survey has already closed or the member does not qualify, Surveyz pays 15 cents instead.
  • A refer-a-friend promotion, run during promotional periods, pays $1 for each survey a referred friend completes, up to $10 per friend. The friend has to join with a referral code, link their main bank account, and complete a survey.

Surveyz also has a Gold membership tier. A member reaches it by completing the welcome survey, linking their main bank accounts, and completing at least 2 surveys, and keeps it by completing at least 1 survey every 30 days.

Who can join and how withdrawals work

Surveyz is only available to Australian residents. The help center says members cannot log in or complete surveys while they are overseas. To sign up, a member needs a valid email address, an Australian mobile phone number, and an active Australian bank account, and must be at least 18 years old. Joining is free, and only one account is allowed per person.

Withdrawals go to an Australian bank account by BSB and account number. PayPal withdrawals are not supported. Withdrawals are not automatic: the member has to request one, and Surveyz's help center says most requests are completed within 7 days, with one help article saying usually within 5 days, and possible delays around bank or public holidays.

Surveyz's own pages do not agree on the standard minimum withdrawal. The homepage and a help article on withdrawal balance say $10 for standard members and $5.00 for Gold members, while several older help articles say $20, and the terms of use print the figure as '$2010.00'. Which figure applies in the member area today is not published.

Surveyz also says rewards expire after 18 months of account inactivity, with reminder emails sent first, and that unused rewards are forfeited if the account is closed.

How PocketsFull differs

PocketsFull is a rewards site where members complete paid surveys and offers, including game and app offers, and redeem the rewards they earn. Joining is free, and PocketsFull never asks for a deposit or a payment.

Unlike Surveyz, PocketsFull is not limited to one country: what a member can do depends on the surveys and offers available where they live. PocketsFull also has an Android app on Google Play, and the website works in a phone browser too.

How PocketsFull pays

PocketsFull's redeem screen shows gift cards first, with the local catalogue depending on the member's country, followed by PayPal and Litecoin.

The options a member sees depend on where they live, so the exact list on the redeem screen will differ by country.

PocketsFull does not offer a bank transfer as a payout option, unlike Surveyz.

Frequently asked questions

Is Surveyz legit?

Surveyz is a registered Australian company, Data Analytics Holdings Pty Ltd, that runs a paid survey panel with a published address and terms of use. Members complete surveys and request withdrawals to an Australian bank account, so it operates as a stated survey service rather than something unexplained; whether it suits you depends on whether you are an Australian resident willing to link a bank account for more surveys.

Is Surveyz safe to use?

Surveyz says bank account linking is read-only, done through Consumer Data Right via Mastercard Open Banking, and that login details are not stored. Those are the brand's own statements about how the linking works, and this page does not add a judgment beyond what Surveyz publishes.

How does Surveyz withdrawal work?

Members request a withdrawal to an Australian bank account using BSB and account number. Surveyz's help center says most requests are completed within 7 days, though one article says usually within 5 days, and there is no PayPal option.

Can I use Surveyz outside Australia?

No. Surveyz requires an Australian mobile number, an Australian bank account, and Australian residency, and its help center says members cannot log in or complete surveys while overseas.

Does PocketsFull pay to a bank account like Surveyz?

No. PocketsFull's redeem screen offers gift cards, which depend on the member's country, along with PayPal and Litecoin, and does not include a bank transfer option.
