These rewards may include cash payments, the ability to redeem a reward for a gift card, and/or entry into a drawing or sweepstakes. You will be informed in advance which surveys provide a reward and what type of reward you may be eligible for.
In order to receive these rewards, you must fully complete any survey associated with the reward, provide all necessary contact information, and otherwise be in compliance with these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other terms or agreements that are associated with the individual reward. These rewards include both rewards that are guaranteed upon completion of a survey, and rewards from sweepstakes or drawings.

If you fail to verify the information, we may not provide you with a reward you otherwise earned.
In most cases survey entry is connected to a unique code or password. At times it may be possible for the same password to be used to complete the same or similar surveys in one round of surveys. If the same password is used multiple times, Minnesota Opinion Study will only provide one reward per password regardless of how many times a survey in the round was completed. We will determine what contact information to use to fulfill the reward and may contact you to help determine this.
Minnesota Opinion Study will regularly use outside vendors to fulfill rewards. These vendors may have additional requirements to redeem and fulfill rewards beyond those required by us. Vendors may also have their own privacy policies and terms of use which you may be subject to. Please be sure to read these documents.
Minnesota Opinion Study assumes no liability, obligation or responsibility for, and makes no warranty with respect to, any damages resulting from the usage of any rewards provided by reward partners or vendors or any part thereof.
