Joining
It is very simple and takes less than 5 minutes to register as a member. All you have to do is complete a short membership questionnaire, telling about yourself and your interests. Keep in mind to be as honest as possible when filling out your profile. This way, you are sure to receive more surveys you’ll qualify for.
How You’ll Earn
ask Gfk deals solely with paid surveys. As with many sites, your compensation is based on how long a survey takes you to complete. Expect about 4-8 surveys per month at an average of $1-$2 a piece.
Rewards Summary
Expect to earn anywhere from 100-200 points ($1.00-$2.00) per 10-20 minute survey you complete. The average user can expect to receive between four and five surveys each month. Points are worth a penny each when they are exchanged. Exchange points for cash or a host of other redemption options.
Redemption & Processing
If cash isn’t your thing, ask GfK points can be exchanged for a host of other redemption options. Once you have reached the 2,500 point minimum threshold, log in to your account and select your reward. The average wait time for redemptions is fairly short and you should have your reward in hand within about 2 weeks.
Customer Support
ask GfK is known for their quick responses to any potential problems. It’s easy to start a support ticket directly from their web site. Just log in to your account and follow the support tab to submit an inquiry directly to their customer service department. You will usually have a reply within one business day.
Issues
The biggest complaint about the ask GfK survey program is the lack of earning opportunities. On one hand, you won’t be bombarded with tons of invites, but don’t expect to break the bank either. In an average month, you will only have about five opportunities to complete surveys.

Closing Thoughts
ask GfK has a global footprint and has grown to become a leader in conducting market research for some of the most reputable Fortune 500 brands. Unfortunately, the survey invites are just not enough in terms of value to make GFK a consistent earning source.
If you already belong to a ton of other survey programs, you don’t need to be worried about this program flooding your inbox. You can also be sure that if you do get survey invitations from ask GfK, you will qualify 9 times out of 10. GfK is a handy program to have in your arsenal, especially if you’re taking a more long term approach to your survey taking.

Official Description

Is ask GfK a scam?
GFK is based on New York City, but itโs part of a global network operating in 37 countries with 12,000 employees so you can draw the inference that askGFK is not a scam. It may take awhile to actually receive a cashout from askGFK, but that certainly doesn’t make it a shady operation.

I am NOT a member of GFK, but am frequently offered GFK surveys through other panels. Their software is unable to distinguish between a mobile device and a desktop running LINUX. Every time I attempt a GFK survey on my LINUX desktop PC, I get a message telling me I must log off my mobile device & access the survey from a desktop PC.

So far no real issues except many areas I do not qualify in. I haven’t earned anything yet, so hard to say but do enjoy what I have done so far. I also like the fact surveys are not too long ๐

GFK is one of my favorite surveyโs of all that I have done so far. You never have to be concerned about not qualifying; you will always be able to take the full survey if GFK sends it to you. The surveyโs are not long time takerโs and they email you as soon as points are added to your total points; 2-3 days after you take the survey.

They give you the same answer questions. But we need different kind of opinions in our survey to earn points to our account. But I been with them for over these year. They are great with this company. Thank You!!

A good site. I’ve earned movie tickets. It is a great way for my husband and I to get to see new movies and not pay for them. Surveys are not too long.

These surveys have repetitive questions. It gets kinda silly asking the same question 3 and 4 times.
