Rewards Summary
YouGov is home to a massive variety of rewards, from the usual suspects like cash and gift cards, to less common reward options like prepaid VISA cards, movie vouchers, charitable donations, and even YouGov branded merchandise.
if gift cards are your thing, you are in luck as YouGov offer gifts cards for all the major players including Amazon, Best Buy, iTunes, Walmart, and more.
Customer Support
We’ve experienced nothing but good things with YouGov’s customer service. Inquiries are answered quickly and politely. If you have missing points or your redemption is slow, you’ll always hear back from them in a few hours.
Issues
Although there’s no doubt about YouGov’s reliability and their interesting surveys, survey invites are somewhat infrequent. Plus, they are fairly strict about their quota, and may not accept you based on your ZIP or other geographical factors.
In general, these aren’t the biggest drawbacks, but there may be better options if you’re looking for frequent invites.
More Details
YouGov certainly has its act together when it comes to topical surveys, interesting content, and reliable payment. We can highly recommend this panel, but not if you’re a little on the impatient side. The high payout threshold is a negative for some survey takers, but if you add YouGov to your profile of various survey sites it’s certainly worth having in your arsenal.
YouGov also has a referral program where you can earn points when your friends and extended family members sign up for YouGov and even more points if they connect via Facebook to YouGov.

Official Description
Here’s a summary from the official YouGov website.
When you join the YouGov panel you are joining a worldwide community of people who like to express and share their opinions, and earn points along the way.
As a panel member you will receive regular email invitations for new surveys. Every survey you complete earns points that when accumulated can be redeemed for rewards such as movie tickets, gift cards, and other prizes. You will also receive surveys that don’t have points but enter you in a monthly prize draw.
All YouGov surveys are completed online and filled out at a time that is convenient for you.

I live in India and I engage with this panel since last 1 and half year.
I reached upto 5200 points but the redemption button is not working.
When i try to redeem it will redirect me to home page only.
I contact to their customer support but i did not get any satisfactory response from them.
Even i keep patience and sent nearabout 7 to 8 mails,I did not get a single reply from them.
So I suggest not to join this site.

TOTAL SCAMMERS!
I cumulated 122,000 points with YouGov over a year doing 100+ surveys. I even referred to some friends.
When I tried to redeem my points for Amazon voucher or Visa prepaid, they wont let me do it. According to them, I carried suspicious activity on my account. After than initial email, no further answer, no further explanation.
So, One year answering surveys like a slave to receive a one-line answer and then cut all communication. Well done, scammers!
Save your time and effort to something more productive.

Interesting the way survey questions are phrased to mislead users and advance false information. EX: superpac supporting Cruz, when in reality it is an anti-Trump superpac.

Sometimes they get me mixed up with the biased and unbiased. But generally they ask pertinent questions.

You Gov, is a very intresting web site. I visit this site about twice a week to answer questions and give my oponion on various different things. The questions they ask you are different from any other site I go to. They are more intrested in your political opinuions than anything else.
