Understand every reward before you participate
The reward is stated before a survey begins. Here is how it is earned, why it may sit pending, and exactly how ready each part of the payout system is.
The reward is based on estimated time and qualification — never on your political answers, party, candidate preference, or viewpoint.
Earning
How a reward is earned
For paid participant studies, the stated reward is planned at $24 per estimated survey hour, prorated by estimated completion time.
The unit that earns is a qualified completion: you finish the survey, and the completion passes qualification. Partial responses and completions that fail quality checks are not paid.
See estimated rewards by survey length for what that works out to in practice.
Pending versus available
Step 1: Reward recorded
A completed survey records the stated reward against your account.
Step 2: Pending review
The reward stays pending during qualification and any required integrity review.
Step 3: Available
After release, the reward becomes available in your participant balance.
Payout methods, thresholds, and timing will be shown in-product when available.

Payouts
What we can and cannot say yet
USD-denominated rewards and cash-equivalent payout methods are planned. Available methods, thresholds, review states, and timing will be shown in-product.
Paid survey opportunities, matching, eligibility, qualification, frequency, and monthly earnings are not guaranteed.
Planned: pay accelerators that raise the reward on certain polls — for example a 1.2x multiplier when a poll needs a harder-to-reach audience or a rush turnaround. Not live yet; no amounts are promised.
Holds, forfeiture, disputes, and tax — in plain language
- Holds
- A reward can be held while qualification or an integrity review is in progress. A hold is a pause, not a penalty, and the reward is released if the completion qualifies.
- Integrity review
- Some completions get a closer look for data-quality reasons — for example duplicate or automated entry patterns. Review never considers the opinions you expressed.
- Forfeiture
- A reward can be forfeited for conduct covered by the Rewards Terms, such as duplicate accounts, falsified eligibility, or bulk or automated responses. It is never forfeited for your political views.
- Disputes
- If you believe a reward was held or reversed in error, you can raise it with support. The Rewards Terms set out how disputes are handled and what evidence is considered.
- Taxes
- Rewards may be taxable income depending on where you live and how much you receive. You are responsible for your own tax reporting; PolitiMind does not give tax advice.
The binding version is the Participant Rewards & Payments Terms.
Tokens
$PMIND is not how you get paid today
Current readiness: the reward lifecycle is live and rewards are recorded in USD terms. Cash-equivalent payout methods remain planned and will be shown in-product when available.
$PMIND is planned future utility. It has not launched, is not required to use PolitiMind, and is not a current payout method.
