Once you've set up your account, you’ll receive an email welcoming you to Global Critique Panel. From then on, we'll send you regular emails inviting you to take surveys. (These emails will contain all the information you need to take part.)

Earn points every time you complete a survey, and after you have enough points in your balance, you can redeem them for the rewards of your choice.

Surveys are conducted because businesses, governments, public bodies, and similar organisations are interested in the views and attitudes of the people who use their products and services. The more they know about what customers and citizens think, the easier it is for them to improve and adapt what they supply.

We have various surveys available, including:
• Product tests (review prototypes before they hit the shelf)
• Advert reviews (give feedback on ads before they launch)
• Healthcare Professional Survey (keep track of and share your opinion to upcoming Healthcare Equiment)
• Patients Survey(take part in group discussions on a variety of topics)
• Location-based services (participate in targeted surveys based on your location)
• Ad survey studies (share your thoughts on ads you see on Google)

It's very easy. Simply fill in your details on our sign-up page. We'll send you a link to the application form so you are able to set up your Account and become a panel member. If you are 16 or younger, ask your parent or guardian to apply on your behalf, and you can take part in the surveys via them.

There are no costs associated with joining the panel and you can leave at any time. However, you'll need an e-mail address to receive invitations to participate in surveys and you'll need to be able to access the internet to complete our online surveys.

We will send you an e-mail welcoming you to Global Critique Panel and you will begin receiving e-mail invitations to take surveys. The e-mails will contain all the information you need to take part. Once you complete a survey, you'll have the opportunity to earn points.

We send out survey invitations on a regular basis, but cannot say who or when you might receive invitations. This is because each survey is customised and based around the research goals for each individual client. Depending on your profile, we may ask you to complete surveys more or less often. For this reason, we ask you to keep your profile as up to date as possible. Please note some firewalls may prevent delivery of our survey invitations.

Unfortunately there is no other way to take part in these online surveys, you need to complete them over the Internet.

No. We don't sell the personal information of our panellists and we'll never try to sell you a product or service.

It is possible that someone made a typing error and accidentally submitted your e-mail address while asking to join Global Critique Panel. It's also possible that someone has used your e-mail address without your permission. If you don't want to join, simply ignore the e-mail and the reminder that will be sent.

As you continue completing activities with Global Critique Panel, you’ll level up.
There are 3 level
At each level, there are key milestones required to complete your level.

Your level is related to your membership, based on your actions like taking surveys and earning rewards.
You can level up by unlocking all the achievements available at your current level in a 365 day period. For example, if you’re a Frist Level member, you need to complete all the available First Level activities to level up and become a Second Level member.
You can also unlock achievements for levels above your current one. For example, if you complete 100% of your survey profile, you’ll get a Third Level status badge – but you cannot reach Third level until you’ve achieved all the necessary achievements.

First Level members are just getting started. To reach First Level status, all you have to do is sign up and activate your account.

Third Level members have reached the top. They have a complete profile, completed fifty activities (or more) and maintain regular activity.

To reach Third Leve status, members must:
 

• Complete 100% of their survey profile
• Take a survey in three consecutive weeks
• Complete 50 activities

Second Level members are active and regular members who have almost completed their profile.

To reach Second Level status, members must:
 

• Complete 75% of their survey profile
• Take a survey in three consecutive weeks
• Complete 25 activities

It’s simple - keep sharing your opinions. We recommend taking activities at least once a week to maintain your current level.
If you don’t keep it up, you will eventually lose your achievement for consecutive activities and drop down a level.
Similarly, you’ll need to make sure your profile is kept up to date. Certain sections, like technology and automotive, will expire over time – so if your profile completion percentage has dropped since you last logged in, check back and complete any sections that are incomplete.

The points earned from achievements can be found in your survey history page. This will show as 'community achievement'.

To see all the achievements you've earned, head to the ‘Achievements' tab.

No. This donation is separate to your survey rewards and does not affect your points balance.
